Wives' Tales
The Wives' Tales are love stories that attempt to capture the complexities of a married life. This book is for mature readers, and discretion is advised. Tale One: The Seafarer's Wife - Her love is tethered to the man she married and the lonely gaps between his visits test her commitment. Will she remain devoted to her vows, or will she give in to the temptations of the flesh? Tale Two: The Salesman's Wife - She gradually feels the fleeting love in her marriage as the pressures of his ambitions shake her to the core. Will she hold on to her love, or will she decide to let go? Tale Three: The Athlete's Wife - As the backbone of her family, she blindly supports her husband's dream and changes her own. Is it a selfless deed, or is it a desperate choice? Tale Four: The Old Man's Wife - It was love at first sight for her, but their 15-year age gap and her reputation prevent them from pursuing their relationship. Does love conquer all, or does it submit to reason? Tale Five: The Pilot's Wife - She feels the world owed her a lot when she was betrothed at a young age to a man she barely knew. Will she remain docile and embrace obedience, or will she demand a payback? Tale Six: The Rapper's Wife - Marrying her high school sweetheart is a dream come true until it isn't. But she's willing to give up on her dreams in favor of his. Does love require the ultimate sacrifice of forgetting oneself, or does it espouse growing together? Tale Seven: The Doctor's Wife - Their picture-perfect marriage is threatened to crumble under the weight of his failure. And he's willing to do anything to guarantee his success and fuel her illusions of a happy-ever-after. Would love be enough to keep their happy ending, or would love help them seek and live the painful truth? Tale Eight: The Mayor's Spouse - Two well-meaning individuals work hard for their community with accolades defining their lives. Yet, as they challenge the status quo, they are forced to conform to social norms until he is ready to risk it all. Is love enough to overshadow conventions, or does it succumb to societal expectations? Tale Nine: The Patient's Wife - A married couple at the crossroads of their marriage is given an opportunity to start again. Will they take it and restart with a clean slate, or will the ghosts of the past continue to haunt them? Tale Ten: The Neighbor's Wife - Behind the closed doors of the opulent residences are the secrets no one talks about. Is there love behind pain, or does love assert dominance and require submission? This tapestry of stories reflects a wife's journey into a whirlwind of love and heartbreak, of love and imprisonment, of love and sacrifice, each one worthy to be remembered or ready to be forgotten.

Hip Hop literature, also known as urban fiction or street lit, is a type of writing evocative of the harsh realities of life in the inner city. Beginning with seminal works by such writers as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim and culminating in contemporary fiction, autobiography, and poetry, Hip Hop literature is exerting the same kind of influence as Hip Hop music, fashion, and culture. Through more than 180 alphabetically arranged entries, this encyclopedia surveys the world of Hip Hop literature and places it in its social and cultural contexts. Entries cite works for further reading, and a bibliography concludes the volume. Coverage includes authors, genres, and works, as well as on the musical artists, fashion designers, directors, and other figures who make up the context of Hip Hop literature. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia concludes with a selected, general bibliography. Students in literature classes will value this guide to an increasingly popular body of literature, while students in social studies classes will welcome its illumination of American cultural diversity.
Gritty City
Gritty City is a love letter to Winnipeg, a prairie metropolis born out of rebellion, a river city marooned in the middle of a continent. Maybe there is something in the water that makes us different... Gritty City is the first book to tackle the history of Winnipeg hip-hop, treating it not as a passing fad or a subgenre of rock, but as its own distinct and significant culture and artform. Much like the city itself, hip-hop locally was born out of struggle, out of the intense racism that plagued elements of Winnipeg for much of the 1980s. As the culture blossomed and gained acceptance, slowly but surely the community became more and more prominent, leading from the DIY ‘90s to the heyday of the early 2000s. Gritty City traces this timeline from the early 1980s to 2005 in an oral history format, making it seem like you’re just sitting around with your cousins and their friends as they reminisce. Featuring over 100 voices of Winnipeg rappers, producers, DJs, promoters, and community members, Gritty City is a one of a kind chronicle of an important but until now unknown chapter in Canadian music history.
