 | The Enemy by Gopal Balakrishnan
The writings of Carl Schmitt form what is arguably the most disconcerting, original, and yet still unfamiliar body of twentieth-century political thought. In the English-speaking world, he is terra incognita, a name associated with Nazism, the author of a largely untranslated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, coming to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments. THE ENEMY is a comprehensive intertextual reconstruction and analysis of all of Schmitt's major works presented in an arresting narrative form. The format reveals the complex ways in which his ideas took shape in the intertwining time lines of civil and world wars. AUTHOR: Gopal Balakrishnan

In these letters, he explores those works, addresses numerous issues in his personal life, and witnesses the arrival of, and devastation caused by, the AIDS virus as it swept through Manhattan's gay scene.

 | Lillian Gish by Charles Affron
In this biography of pioneering film actress Lillian Gish, author Affron draws on interviews, Gish's letters, and excerpts from her unpublished autobiography to chronicle her impressive career, from the early 1900s up until her death in 1993. In doing so, he illustrates a correlation between Gish's development as an actress and the evolution of cinema, starting with its early beginnings in the 1910s and '20s, when silent film director D.W. Griffith discovered the talented starlet. AUTHOR: Charles Affron
