Book excerpt: Analyzing the ways U.S. culture has been formed and transformed in the 80s and 90s by its response to the Vietnam War and the AIDS epidemic, Marita Sturken argues that each has disrupted our conventional notions of community, nation, consensus, and "American culture." She examines the relationship of camera images to the production of cultural memory, the mixing of fantasy and reenactment in memory, the role of trauma and survivors in creating cultural comfort, and how discourses of healing can smooth over the tensions of political events. Sturken's discussion encompasses a brilliant comparison of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the AIDS Quilt; her profound reading of the Memorial as a national wailing wall—one whose emphasis on the veterans and war dead has allowed the discourse of heroes, sacrifice, and honor to resurface at the same time that it is an implicit condemnation of war—is particularly compelling. The book also includes discussions of the Kennedy assassination, the Persian Gulf War, the Challenger explosion, and the Rodney King beating. While debunking the image of the United States as a culture of amnesia, Sturken also shows how remembering itself is a form of forgetting, and how exclusion is a vital part of memory formation.

Book excerpt: Love and heartbreak has affected Celebrity Magazine writer, Anne Sherman her entire life. After losing her fiancé in a tragic accident, she gave up her dreams of marriage and a family, instead spending the last ten years building her reputation as one of the top writers in the industry. An assignment to interview the reclusive novelist, Dave Beaumont begins a series of bizarre events that seem to draw the two writers closer, while also threatening to tear them apart. The couple struggles to find an answer to the phenomena that is tampering with their relationship before it’s too late. True, deep and abiding love transcends time and space, heaven and earth, finding its soul mate where and when one least suspects it. * * * Dave stood and started down the steps to the beach. He imagined that it would probably feel like being rocked to sleep as the waves pulled him further out to sea. The tears were streaming down his face and the sobs were beginning to build but he refused to let them come. He hadn’t sobbed out loud as a young child and he wouldn’t begin now. He did however bow his head and pray that God would forgive him. “Please God, forgive me. I simply cannot go on alone like this anymore.” Alone at home Anne began to thrash around in the bed, Dave was in trouble; where was he? Anne looked everywhere she could think of but couldn’t see him. Panic set in and she felt claustrophobic as the dark shrouded fog crept around her like it was attempting to close her in. “Dave, Dave, where are you?” she screamed again and again. Anne began running towards the only light visible in the fog. She couldn’t make out what it was but at least it looked like an opening out of the darkness that surrounded her. Looking ahead she could make out the figure of a man walking towards the ocean. It looked like Dave, but she couldn’t be sure. What in the world was he doing walking into the surf with his clothes on? Just then the man turned and looked straight at her and she gasped. It was Dave, and he looked so forlorn that it broke her heart. He gave her one long last look and then disappeared into the surf. “Da-a-ve, come back!”
