ABOUT THE BOOK "WATEHICA..." is a book about life and death, a book of feelings and emotions...it is a book of wisdom shared by the elders of the author's youth. Some stories are very old...some are new...but all have insight into the Lakota soul...an insight that is not shown or shared by any writers...by any standards. Eya Mani will take you to the heights of your imagination. You will feel his pain and sorrow as he says goodbye to a nephew slain in the streets of Minneapolis by gang members...and you will laugh with him as he shares the humor of the Lakota people. You will learn many things unanswered before by any author...like the naming of persons and the songs of honor sung at pow wows and ceremonies, and you will learn the true meaning of love...and you will be kidnapped and abused. From the humor of grandma's dogs, the introduction of twins, and on to the slaying of a monster snake...you will want to share your adventures with those you love and care about...just as Eya Mani is sharing his experiences with you...after all...'we are all related...'"

Writing "Out of all the Camps": J. M. Coetzee's Narratives of Displacement is an interdisciplinary examination--combining ethical, postcolonial, performance, gender-based, and environmental theory--of the ways that 2003 Nobel Prize-winning South African novelist J. M. Coetzee, primarily through his voicing of a female subject position and his presentation of a voiceless subjectivity, the animal, displaces both the narrative and authorial voice in his works of fiction. Coetzee's work remains outside of conventional notions of genre by virtue of the free indirect discourse that characterizes many of his third-person narrated texts that feature male protagonists (Life & Times of Michael K, The Master of Petersburg, and Disgrace), various and differing first-person narrative accounts of the same story (Dusklands, In the Heart of the Country), the use of female narrators and female narrative personas (Age of Iron, The Lives of Animals), and unlocatable, ahistorical contexts (Waiting for the Barbarians). The work has broad academic appeal in the established fields of not only literary studies--postcolonial, contemporary, postmodern and environmental--but also in the realm of performance and gender studies. Because of its broad and interdisciplinary range, this text bridges a conspicuous gap in studies on Coetzee.

Roger Fraser continues to battle the vexing absurdities of modernism, his aim to stay out of the doghouse by adopting meditation as an antidote to combat his hang-ups. When it comes to neutralising uppity officials and slaying implacable harridans masquerading as mewling princesses, Roger has no equal in the world of high-finance and within his wife Charlotte’s social set. He survives a no-nonsense outward bound course instructor, boldly engages status quo doyens including an intractable hanging judge and a very persistent spook, avoids being mugged by lazoonland trailer trash, and subdues an autocratic drama teacher. On a lighter note, Roger dodges the clutches of jailbait schoolgirls, is bedeviled by an overzealous impresario and battles intransigent shrews amongst a plethora of highly contentious and hilarious incidents, but despite his new found remedy, inevitably he winds up in the doghouse, wondering where it all went wrong.
