 | The Ghastly One by Jimmy McDonough
One of the most important of all the early exploitation film makers, Andy Milligan was an avowed sadist and misogynist. His films, mostly made in between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s, shocked the grindhouse crowd and continued to do so years later. This biography explores Milligan in detail (sometimes graphic detail) and, by its very nature, provides a history of American exploitation films. AUTHOR: Jimmy McDonough

 | The Hours by David Hare
Michael Cunningham`s critically acclaimed novel, which is inspired by Virginia Woolf`s MRS. DALLOWAY, tells three simultaneous stories. One is about Virginia Woolf while she is writing the novel in the mid-1920s. In another, a woman reading MRS. DALLOWAY in 1949 fights off despair. In the third, a woman named Clarissa (whose nickname is Mrs. Dalloway ) prepares a party for a friend in the late 1990s. The main action of each part of the novel takes place over the course of one day--as MRS. DALLOWAY does. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998. AUTHOR: David Hare
