linkage obtained by him over the past six years. Included in that evidence, is the solving of the Zodiac's forty-five year cryptic cipher, which gives us the answer to the question asked in Most Evil, "Were Black Dahlia Avenger and Zodiac the same serial killer?" The solution of that cipher provides us with the name of San Francisco's most infamous serial killer. However, it is not presented as just another "theory" from some armchair detective, or even from the author himself, a highly respected, veteran LAPD homicide detective. Rather, the solution comes from the killer's own mouth, written in his own hand--it is Zodiac's personally signed confession!Short Stories in Chinese

wide range of contemporary literature from the world's most spoken language, without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary. The stories - many of which appear here in English for the first time - are by well-known writers as well as emerging voices. From a story by Li Rui about the honest simplicity of a Shanxi farmer to one by Ma Yuan exposing the seamy underside of contemporary urban society, they are infused with both rural dialect and urban slang and feature a wide range of styles and points of view. Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.天宫图

Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities
By John Wei. 2020
In Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, John Wei brings light to the germination and movements of queer cultures and social…
practices in today’s China and Sinophone Asia. While many scholars attribute China’s emergent queer cultures to the neoliberal turn and the global political landscape, Wei refuses to take these assumptions for granted. He finds that the values and pitfalls of the development-induced mobilities and post-development syndromes have conjointly structured and sustained people’s ongoing longings and sufferings under the dual pressure of compulsory familism and compulsory development. While young gay men are increasingly mobilized in their decision-making to pursue sociocultural and socioeconomic capital to afford a queer life, the ubiquitous and compulsory mobilities have significantly reshaped and redefined today’s queer kinship structure, transnational cultural network, and social stratification in China and capitalist Asia. With Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, Wei interrogates the meanings and functions of mobilities at the forefront of China’s internal transformation and international expansion for its great dream of revival, when gender and sexuality have become increasingly mobilized with geographical, cultural, and social class migrations and mobilizations beyond traditional and conventional frameworks, categories, and boundaries.Client information booklet Vietnamese: January 2019

estupidez de la guerra y quienes la libran, y una ternura apasionada por los que la sufren. «El reencuentro de los compañeros de armas» transmite con asombrosa vivacidad los sentimientos de dos veteranos del ejército de las aldeas rurales de la China más profunda. Uno de ellos murió en el frente de forma ignominiosa. El otro llegó a ser oficial. Los dos amigos se reúnen en espacios imaginarios y hablan de la vida, de su infancia campesina, de sus años en los cuarteles, de sus amores frustrados y de las batallas donde, en todas partes, la farsa compite con la tragedia.
