Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind Those Smiles: Suffering But Smiling is a book that chronicles the author’s battle with pain and suffering —a life of pain, perhaps foretold by her childhood . She lost her father early, followed years later by her mother’s death, which thrust her into responsibility as a mother figure for her younger brothers early in her life. When she thought that her pains were all in the past, she was involved in a motor accident so ghastly that the doctors gave her no chance of survival. She survived —after a succession of miracles! The book leads us through these miracles in an enthralling tale of the triumph of hope over hopelessness, victory of mind over matter, and crucially, divinity’s supremacy in the affairs of man. Though the author’s smile may have faltered at some point, it never really disappeared. Indeed, she was suffering but smiling, and God gave her victory!

And in the unforgettable title story, Johnson returns to his signature subject, North Korea, depicting two defectors from Pyongyang who are trying to adapt to their new lives in Seoul, while one cannot forget the woman he left behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debut book from a celebrated artist on the urgent topic of street harassment Every day, all over the world, women are catcalled and denigrated simply for walking down the street. Boys will be boys, women have been told for generations, ignore it, shrug it off, take it as a compliment. But the harassment has real consequences for women: in the fear it instills and the shame they are made to feel. In Stop Telling Women to Smile, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh uses her arresting street art portraits to explore how women experience hostility in communities that are supposed to be homes. She addresses the pervasiveness of street harassment, its effects, and the kinds of activism that can serve to counter it. The result is a cathartic reckoning with the aggression women endure, and an examination of what equality truly entails.
