Hapa Girl: a Memoir
May-lee Chai exposes the racist heartlessness of the heartland in her memoir of spending her teens in South Dakota (near the Pine Ridge reservation where someone perhaps other than Leonard Peltier shot two FBI agents a few years before the Chais moved there). She and her brother faced real danger from their fellow junior high and high school students, and several of the family’s dogs were killed on the Chai’s farm.

Dans I've Known
This is such a clever yet simple conceit. Prunella writes a little essay about a bunch of men she’s known named Dan, including an ex-boyfriend. Additional charm: there’s an addendum Dan taped into the back of the zine.

LCSH Week 17: grooming gets a facelift
Hypothetically speaking...butch and femme
Play along with a hypothetical situation, if you will.
If you happened to strike up a friendship with the Godfather of the Gay Cataloging Mafia who also happens to be a God (Cataloging) of SACO, and if he were willing to work with you to pitch butch and femme subject headings to the Library of Congress, what would you want those headings to be?
