The life of a young Chinese girl is torn apart by dark family secrets and divided loyalties in a small Ontario town in the 1950s. Judy Fong Bates's fresh and engaging first novel is the story of Su-Jen Chou, a Chinese girl growing up the only daughter of an unhappy and isolated immigrant family in a small Ontario town in the 1950s. Through Su-Jen's eyes we see the hard life behind the scenes at the Dragon Caf, the local diner her family runs. Her half-brother Lee-Kung smolders under the responsibilities he must carry as the dutiful Chinese son. Her mother, beautiful but bitter, lays her hopes and dreams on Su-Jen's shoulders, until she turns to find solace in the most forbidden of places, while Su-Jen's elderly father strives to hek fuh, swallow bitterness, and save face at all costs.

In `The $100 Startup, `Chris Guillebeau shows you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - `and `earn a good living. Still in his early thirties, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he's never held a `real job` or earned a regular paycheck.

Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1997, è insieme un manuale, un saggio e una guida rivolta a coloro che nelle relazioni intendono esplorare le infinite possibilità che amore e sessualità offrono al di là dei modelli tradizionali improntati alla monogamia, nel pieno rispetto di sé e degli altri. Chi è la "zoccola etica"? Stando alle parole delle autrici, "una persona di qualsivoglia genere che abbia il coraggio di condurre la propria vita in accordo con la proposizione radicale che il sesso è bello e il piacere fa bene", sempre però in maniera aperta, onesta e sincera. Un testo di riferimento in cui si discutono i fondamenti ideologici del modello monogamico tradizionale, proponendo un nuovo assetto di idee e termini linguistici, allo scopo di aiutare a individuare la dimensione più adeguata al proprio modo di sentire e a tradurla in pratica nella propria esistenza.
