She has a cart full of fresh fruit to make drinks for the tourists. They call her Shake Girl. Though the Khmer Rouge broke her family apart and left her parents poor and infirm, Shake Girl has a dream, to become a dancer and singer in karaoke videos. She has beauty and talent. She is only fourteen. Her idol is Piseth Pilika, a classically trained dancer and actress whose charm has captivated all of Cambodia. Shake Girl wishes nothing more than to follow in Pilika's footsteps and unfortunately, she will. First, she must make it out of the streets of Phnom Penh, find a way to support her family and navigate the treacherous world of Cambodian karaoke clubs, which are filled with corrupt officials, former Khmer Rouge officers and men with unlimited power. Two men will present themselves to Shake Girl, each claiming to have her best interests at heart, though they have vastly different ways of showing it. And only one will be there for her when she loses everything. In a nation where ancient traditions and institutions have been shattered by war, where men scramble to possess power, money and women of beauty, the benevolent forces of ancient Apsara statues direct their gazes toward Shake Girl. In their weathered expressions of patience and wisdom, they remind her that peace and beauty can be found only on the inside." -- Alternative genre. -- Call no.: PN6727.S6515S47 2008 ----------------------------------------------------- The Essential Superman Encyclopedia / Robert Greenberger and Martin Pasko. -- New York : Del Rey/Ballantine Books, 2010. -- 495 p. : ill.

With graphic narrative that "was closer to the writing of Bernard Malamud or Isaac Bashevis Singer than any comic art which had preceded it" (The Economist), A Contract with God, originally published in 1978, was the first graphic novel: the prototype-along with A Life Force and Dropsie Avenue-for such seminal works as Maus and Persepolis. Set during the Great Depression, this literary trilogy, assembled in one volume for the first time, presents a treasure house of now near-mythic stories that fictionally illustrate the bittersweet tenement life of Eisner's youth. With nearly one dozen new illustrations and a revealing brand-new foreword, this book ultimately tells the epic story of life, death, and resurrection while exploring man's fractious relationship with an all-too-vengeful God. This mesmerizing, fictional chronicle of the universal American immigrant experience is Eisner's most poignant and enduring legacy. -- Alternative genre. -- Call no.: PN6727.E35C62 2006 ----------------------------------------------------- Art in Time : Unknown Comic Book Adventures, 1940-1980 / Dan Nadel. -- New York : Abrams ComicArts, 2010. -- 301 p. : ill.
