"Windy City Sinners is a freewheeling, wry and whimsical novel about the deepest human feelings and questions." PATRICK T. REARDON (patricktreardon.com) Part crime caper la Donald Westlake, part magic realism tale in the spirit of Gabriel Garc a M rquez, part John Kennedy Toolesque hijinks and high comedy, Windy City Sinners offers mystery and mayhem with fun and froth mixed in for good measure. The story takes place on the Far Northwest Side of Chicago, right on the edge of town where the cops and members of the Outfit live side-by-side in perfect disharmony. The unlikely partners in crime include a notorious hitman, a detective in league with a drug kingpin, a vengeful mailman, an embezzling bank clerk, a petty holdup man, a conniving cleaning lady, an embittered priest, and the ghost of composer Antonio Vivaldi.

ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD tells the story of J. Herbert Klein - movie producer, builder, impresario, and inventor - who started life as an everyman and ended up working with some of the richest, most powerful people in the world. We meet Klein at the start of World War II as a 21-year-old U.S. Air Force private assigned to a new unit established to defeat the enemy with one of America's greatest inventions - movies. At the base, Klein meets his commanding officer - Captain Ronald W. Reagan, film star and future president of the United States - who puts the young recruit in charge of a top-secret project. In ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD, Klein is finally at liberty to reveal details of this operation - and to describe how Hollywood professionals helped bring about the Allies' victory. After the war, Klein takes over his family's business - and begins to build luxury homes for the rich and famous. During the late-1940s, he builds three houses in Bel Air for Howard Hughes - renowned aviator, entrepreneur, and movie producer - that the billionaire turns into love nests for his teenage prot g es. In 1955, opportunity knocks when Hughes taps Klein to produce the star-studded DEATH OF A SCOUNDREL, one of the mogul's final forays into moviemaking that still creates a sensation on Turner Classic Movies. Klein offers new insights about Hughes in ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD - one of the few books about this American icon written from an insider's perspective. During the 1960s, Klein seizes another opportunity when he establishes a business partnership with Jon Hall - leading man of the 1930s and 1940s - that generates patents, technological innovations, and controversy. Hall believes his new invention - the anamorphic camera lens - can capture the invisible, including alien life forms, on film. Klein seeks proof for Hall's incredible claims - and ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD includes evidence, along with out-of-this-world, never-before-published photos.
Melanie Miller never planned to lose her entire life at age seventeen. But when her parents die in a tragic accident, Melanie realizes her life is not hers to control anymore. Just days after the accident, Melanie is placed in a group home with strangers. While she struggles to accept the turn her life has suddenly taken, Melanie must grieve the loss of her parents while attempting to convince herself that life will go on, especially after her uncle rejects the idea of becoming her guardian. Now as Melanie's journey leads her to a new family, she faces more emotional turmoil than she ever imagined as anger, sadness, and confusion bubble to the surface. As Melanie is forced to confront some harsh realizations, she must look within for the answers as her future-and her purpose-wait. Melanie shares the poignant tale of a teenager's challenges after her parents are killed in a car accident and she is left to find her way in an uncertain world.
After the death of his mother, the future First Family embraces the twelve-year old Buck as their own and happily provides all the love and care their old friend, the Virginia senator's son requires. Soon after his departure for Westpoint, Buck abruptly & inexplicably terminates contact with his ersatz family. The sexually matured young man falls hopelessly in love with Melanie, the future First Lady, and subjects himself to deliberate exile. As his father begs him to attend Trent and Melanie's inauguration as First Family, however, his secret is revealed to her. Melanie's task now is to master the circumstances without hurting any of the affected parties even as she discovers Buck's feelings are not without resonance in her heart. A European-style romance in the tradition of Bovary and Karenina, set in the American White House, this would-be adultery novel offers a return to the big moral questions concerning the passions and the battle between sacred duty and neighborly love. The novel revisits the grand narratives of the age of innocence as it updates them with reflections on the moral quandaries of contemporary existence.

To the renowned psychoanalyst, philosopher, and linguist Julia Kristeva, Melanie Klein (1882-1960) was the most original innovator, male or female, in the psychoanalytic arena. Klein pioneered psychoanalytic practice with children and made major contributions to our understanding of both psychosis and autism. Along the way, she successfully introduced a new approach to the theory of the unconscious without abandoning the principles set forth by Freud. In her first biography of a fellow psychoanalyst, the prolific Kristeva considers Klein's life and intellectual development, weaving a narrative that covers the history of psychoanalysis and illuminates Kristeva's own life and work. Kristeva tells the remarkable story of Klein's life: an unhappy wife and mother who underwent analysis, and-without a medical or other advanced degree-became an analyst herself at the age of 40. In examining her work, Kristeva proposes that Klein's "break" with Freud was really an attempt to complete his theory of the unconscious. Kristeva addresses Klein's numerous critics, and, in doing so, bridges the wide gulf between the clinical and theoretical worlds of psychoanalysis. Klein is celebrated here as the first person to see the mother as the source of not only creativity, but of thought itself, and the first to consider the place of matricide in psychic development. As such, Klein is a seminal figure in the evolution of the provocative ideas about motherhood and the psyche for which Kristeva is most famous. Klein is thus, in a sense, a mother to Kristeva, making this book an account of the development of Kristeva's own thought as well as Klein's.

In this thoughtful and lucid book, C. Fred Alford shows how the psychoanalytic theory of Melanie Klein can be extended to groups and culture and thus can illuminate issues of social theory and moral philosophy of the sort considered by the Frankfurt School. He then applies this expanded theory to the politics of large groups, the appeal of works of art, and the psychological sources of reason.
While much writing has been devoted, predominantly by contemporary Kleinian adult psychoanalysts, to the Kleinian and post Kleinian development of Klein's work, comparatively little has recently been written about the ongoing importance and character of Klein's clinical work for contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy or analysis with very small children (2 - 6 year olds). Little attention now seems to be paid to the revolutionary character of her work from the start (in the early 1920s) with this age group and its challenges, still relevant today, or to her recognition of the importance of mother-infant relations in the period long before World War II brought investigation into and understanding of problems of attachment, separation and loss. This book addresses these issues and re-explores Klein's work in these (and other) areas. This book is concerned primarily with Klein's work with pre-latency children and aims to give these small children more of the voice today that Melanie Klein herself discovered.
This book is a bibliography of Melanie Klein's writings together with other books, articles, and papers, dealing with her life, ideas and work. It is of immense potential use for clinicians, students, and researchers.
