Described in graphic & amusing detail, making a living from the sea. The artistic Ms. Hadman went to Alaska in 1938 to paint and draw, but while there met and married a fisherman in the Southeast. Here she tells of their isolated life in the village of Craig, and later in Sitka (hardly a metropolis then, either); of how she too became fisherfolk and a native, and how the War affected them and their neighbors.

The drama of Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" combined with the deep rooted honesty of Britten's "Peter Grimes" and Charlotte Bronte's romantic "Wuthering Heights." These fine elements of the art of writing form the basis for the story of two people -- a lovelorn girl and a stranded sailor -- whose paths crossed one stormy night, in a story of passionate romance and mystic charms.

Writing at first anonymously and later under the pen name Pierre Loti, French author Julien Viaud (1850-1923) produced a series of fictions that sympathetically portrayed male same-sex desire and its accompanying societal conflicts. Due to the constraints of the time, Viaud had to develop various strategies for discussing his subject covertly; his success in doing so is demonstrated by the great critical and commercial success he enjoyed during his lifetime, which included his election to the French Academy at age forty-one. Richard Berrong presents a gay reading of the novels and novellas of Julien Viaud, chronologically tracing his development of a distinct homosexual identity and the strategies that he employed to discuss it in a way that would not be obvious to the general public. In so doing, Berrong asserts that Viaud's development of a homosexual identity undermined and realigned dominant constructions of masculinity, presented the need for gay community, and elaborated the role of literature for gay men. The first book-length gay reading of Viaud's corpus, this work will make an important contribution not only to the study of Viaud, but also to the study of gay and lesbian history, culture, and literature.
