Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him, always dressed well, and has impeccable taste in music. Little does she know—this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya’s, she can't help but be extremely aware of the other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question—but perhaps getting closer to Aya wouldn’t be so bad...
Guy DeMarco grew up on a California Central Valley family farm, sang in the church choir, played football and got great grades. His older sister got most of his parents' attention, but he still did well at pretty much everything. He knew that his parents were not going to keep the large farm, so after high school he enrolled in Berkeley and from there went to U.C. Hastings where he graduated with a law degree. School now out of the way, he began preparing to take the California Bar. One evening at a party, an inebriated film executive took to him and offered him a shot at a small role in a film. He accepted, the offer turned out to be genuine and within a year he was a regular on a Netflix series.He married a women he'd known a very short while and as the book begins he's learning that he badly screwed up.Guy moves on, looking for a woman to love, a child to have and raise. Now licensed to practice law in the State of California, he finds he has little time for it - his acting career just gets better and better.Guy encounters few problems in meeting women, but they don't always like him, and when he finds one who does, she's crazier than his ex-wife.One night he drives right into the middle of a drug war and almost gets killed, starting a chain reaction of weirdness, shooting and car chases. His career is developing but his personal life is a mess, due in large part to the lamentable fact that violence seems to follow him wherever he goes.
Reviewed by John Holland --short fiction author and organiser of "Stroud Short Stories" Like his last collection of short stories, Odds Against', the proceeds from his new collection, The Guy Thing', go directly to support the Huntingdon's Disease Association. The Guy Thing' has more in common with Odds Against' than that. Again, Harris has provided a beautifully written and emotionally uplifting collection. The eponymous title of the opening story in this collection, The Guy Thing', is about suicide. When faced with a suicide attempt by a fellow student, the main character recalls a pastoral session in his school sixth form in which a respected senior teacher addressed the students about his personal experience of suicide. For Harris, The Guy Thing' is/are the repressed feelings of men, which typically explode into a negative reaction. Throughout this collection the male characters battle their emotions in order to find a more positive, more appropriate response to crises. The stories are compassionate and positive. The past, especially the school years, is often a factor to the decisions made by the key characters. Harris writes with both understanding and heart about men and boys from all backgrounds - gay, straight, lonely, new to this country, ill, injured or suicidal. Throughout this collection the male characters battle their emotions in order to find a more positive, more appropriate response to crises. The stories are compassionate and positive. The past, especially the school years, is often a factor to the decisions made by the key characters. Harris writes with both understanding and heart about men and boys from all backgrounds - gay, straight, lonely, new to this country, ill, injured or suicidal. One of his best stories, The Daniel Album, is an exceptionally tender tale of love and friendship between a young gay man and a young straight man. Another, Terms and Conditions, reveals a university student seeking funds by becoming a porn star, but Harris has him controlling his involvement so that ultimately it leads to a new and successful life. In Planet Past, it is the young granddaughter whose love for her grandfather brings sense and understanding to a family struggling to cope with his dementia. Bruce Harris's stories draw in the reader. He is a natural story-teller, and despite the overwhelmingly positive, uncynical story lines, and the fact that you may occasionally find your eyes becoming watery, he always avoids sentimentality. But there is an honesty and vulnerability to many of these stories. And they are about something important. "Bruce Harris' stories are imaginative and emotive, with glimpses of profound psychological insight. His characters are yearning, refractory, idiosyncratic - in short, real. That alone would compel me to read his work, but the clincher is his delightfully mischievous sense of humour. A writer I'm happy to recommend."
Nicholas Pileggi's vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of Henry Hill--the working-class Brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that "to be a wiseguy was to own the world," who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangster's life--has been hailed as "the best book ever written on organized crime" (Cosmopolitan). This is the true-crime bestseller that was the basis for Martin Scorsese's film masterpiece GoodFellas, which brought to life the violence, the excess, the families, the wives and girlfriends, the drugs, the payoffs, the paybacks, the jail time, and the Feds...with Henry Hill's crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action. "Nonstop...absolutely engrossing" (The New York Times Book Review). Read it and experience the secret life inside the mob--from one who's lived it.

In the early twentieth century Gaumont was in the avant-garde of film technology, innovating in particular in the field of sound and colour. They were synchronizing sound on disk with motion pictures - representing a breakthrough in this area. Gaumont , with its "phonoscènes" and "filmparlants" presented a show, based in part on the world of vaudeville, song and monologue. This was a revolutionary technique of synchronization and amplification of sound. Léon Gaumont's research into sound cinema, ending at the end of the 1920s with the development of the Gaumont-Petersen-Poulsen optical system. Léon Gaumont was not the first or the only one trying to solve the problem of sound cinema. Many other companies developed parallel systems. However, it was the U.S. Vitaphone (none other than the improved Gaumont chronophone), which triumphed on the screen - at least for a while. Another innovative Gaumont was to entrust its film production to a young woman, Alice Guy. Under her direction, these fiction films developed considerably. But what exactly are the films by Alice Guy? When did she really start? Archival documents can clarify some of the mysteries. A number of studies collected in this book are based on unpublished material. Extensive illustration, not previosuly published, allows the reade to appreciate the beauty of equipment made by Léon Gaumont.
