All You Need Is Love
by Russell J. SandersIn the era of the Woodstock Festival and the Stonewall Riots, 1969, Dewey Snodgress is in high school in Fort Worth, Texas. He might be far from many of the changes taking place in the world, but they still affect his life. For one, as his school’s theater star, Dewey takes part in a production about a young gay man protesting the Vietnam War. During the play, he meets another uninhibited young actress, Lucretia “Lulu” Belton, and their performances are a hit, changing attitudes about the war—especially the attitude of Dewey’s dad. It’s also the year Dewey meets Jeep Brickthorn, the school’s hippie and a local musician. They quickly become friends, and although Dewey tries to suppress it, they start to fall in love. Though he knows his father won’t condone their relationship, Dewey can’t resist his feelings for Jeep. The times are changing, and maybe the time has come for Dewey and Jeep to escape their repressive town for somewhere more open-minded. Somewhere they can pursue their interests in acting and music. Somewhere they’ll have the freedom to be in love.

Alla Caccia degli Anormali
by Vianka Van Bokkem Sara Dal PontUn gruppo di scienziati dell'Area 51 mi diede il nome di Elixia. Ero un'abile cacciatrice. La mia storia iniziò in uno dei loro laboratori fondati dalla "Società dei Cacciatori degli Anormali", un gruppo di stravaganti milionari. Il mio compito era quello di uccidere o catturare i nemici che non sono umani. Mi diedero l'aspetto di una ragazza di diciannove anni: la mia pelle e miei capelli avevano un colore tra il blu e il verde. Le mie vene erano bianche e gli occhi erano del giallo più chiaro che potete immaginarvi. Infatti, dovevo indossare sempre occhiali da sole molto scuri perché, se gli umani li avessero visto, avrebbero pensato che fossi un vampiro o un licantropo. Non sapevo modificare la mia forma, potevo solo cambiare il colore dei capelli in argento platino e quello della pelle in bianco. Gli occhi rimanevano dello stesso colore. Le mie capacità mi permettevano di fare il lavoro per cui ero stata creata: cacciare alieni, vampiri, angeli cattivi, licantropi, ecc. Genere: adolescenti e adulti Genere secondario: fiction fantascientifiche e fantasia

Alles über Aschenputtel: Arbeit und Coming of Age (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #17)
by Andrea-Luca BossardDer Band beleuchtet das Spannungsfeld von Jugend, Arbeit und Erzählen in unterschiedlichen Aus-drucksformen vom 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Die Erzählung vom Aschenputtel mit dem märchenhaften Happy Ending lässt sich von 1812 und dem Ersterscheinen der Kinder- und Hausmärchen bis zu Kenneth Branaghs Adaption von Perraults Cendrillon 2015 und weiter verfolgen. Im Märchen ist die Bereitschaft (Care-)Arbeit zu leisten ein wesentlicher Aspekt der moralischen In-tegrität der angehenden Prinzessin – ganz ähnlich wird dies in neueren dystopischen Romanen ablesbar, in denen nur überlebt, wer auch anpacken und solidarisch handeln kann. Nicht nur ein Blick in die Literaturgeschichte zeigt: Arbeit, Armut und soziale Fragen sind zentrale Themen der Literatur, die jedoch wesentlich Konjunkturen des Interesses unterworfen waren. In der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur seit der Jahrtausendwende bedeuten sie zentrale Diskurse und wirkungsmächtige Narrative.Arbeit und ihre soziale Bedeutung werden in Coming-of-Age-Erzählungen auf vielfache Weise verhandelt. So ist z.B. das kapitalistische System und damit verbunden verschiedenste Arbeitsnarrative in vielerlei Hinsicht präsent – in der Inszenierung des Konsums der Figuren, in Mode und Lifestyle; auch an der Zeichnung von Familienbildern, an den Berufen bzw. dem Habitus der literarischen Elternfiguren sowie in verkörperten sozialen Praktiken und Ungleichheiten tritt dies hervor.
