Download or read book Tears of Longing written by Christine Reiko Yano and published by Harvard Univ Asia Center. This book was released on 2002 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enka, a sentimental ballad genre, epitomizes for many the nihonjin no kokoro (heart/soul of Japanese). To older members of the Japanese public, who constitute enka's primary audience, this music--of parted lovers, long unseen rural hometowns, and self-sacrificing mothers--evokes a direct connection to the traditional roots of "Japaneseness." Overlooked in this emotional invocation of the past, however, are the powerful commercial forces that, since the 1970s, have shaped the consumption of enka and its version of national identity. Informed by theories of nostalgia, collective memory, cultural nationalism, and gender, this book draws on the author's extensive fieldwork in probing the practice of identity-making and the processes at work when Japan becomes "Japan."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the “sexy, insightful, and utterly charming” (BuzzFeed) Kiss Her Once for Me returns with a new queer rom-com following once childhood best friends forced together to drive their former teacher across the country. A long time ago, Logan Maletis and Rosemary Hale used to be friends. They spent their childhood summers running through the woods, rebelling against their conservative small town, and dreaming of escaping. But then an incident the summer before high school turned them into bitter rivals. After graduation, they went ten years without speaking. Now in their thirties, Logan and Rosemary find they aren’t quite living the lives of adventure they imagined for themselves. Still in their small town and working as teachers at their alma mater, they’re both stuck in old patterns. Uptight Rosemary chooses security and stability over all else, working constantly, and her most stable relationship is with her label maker. Chaotic and impulsive Logan has a long list of misguided ex-lovers and an apathetic shrug she uses to protect herself from anything real. And as hard as they try to avoid each other—and their complicated past—they keep crashing into each other. Including with their cars. But when their beloved former English teacher and lifelong mentor tells them he has only a few months to live, they’re forced together once and for all to fulfill his last wish: a cross-country road trip. Stuffed into the gayest van west of the Mississippi, the three embark on a life-changing summer trip—from Washington state to the Grand Canyon, from the Gulf Coast to coastal Maine—that will chart a new future and perhaps lead them back to one another.

Download or read book Layers written by Zorro Daddy and published by Zorro Daddy. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an adult story about age players and adult fetishes. It is not intended to be read by minors. The story line in this book is a bit more challenging to describe than the story lines in the other ABDL books I’ve written. That’s because this story is very …… “partially”. What that means is it’s: partially humiliation, partially fantasy, partially reality, partially BDSM-oriented, partially discipline, partially sexual, partially romantic and partially pure-n-innocent. To give it a fun little rhyme, this one is a twisty, turny, tryst-y journey. Layers is the story of an internal journey, taken by a girl named Jessica. She finds herself in situations that were created by decisions she made as well as the events of her life. It’s a story not of self-discovery, but rather, of self-invention and the journey she takes leads to self-reinvention. And as the circumstances mount up for her, a conclusion is on the horizon that will alter the direction of her life. But only a wise decision on her part will answer the questions she has and show her the clear pathway to take. Yes, Jessica does get crinkly in this story. She is a BabyGirl and adores the diapers. But there are darker chapters in this book as well that may lead to triggers for you the reader, if you are sensitive to uncomfortable happenings. If you enjoy a story that twists as you turn the pages, then Layers is right up your alley. This is adult material and therefore is not intended for minors.
