I never dreamed that writing one's memoir was such an eye- opening way to figure out who you are, and even more surprising, learn how you got to be who you are. The following account (written mainly for my children and grandchildren to read) started out to simply chronicle the colorful mix of our ancestry. I guess I am now the matriarch. You can take that as a qualified statement that I am just getting around to admitting that I am becoming perhaps a tiny bit older and that it's about time I write all this down. I shall be writing as truthfully as good taste and common sense allow, but I will remind the reader of Winston Churchill's admonition to his readers: "I care not one whit for accuracy. Praise is good enough." My feelings exactly.

From the 19th century onwards, famous literary trials have caught the attention of readers, academics and the public at large. Indeed it is striking that more often than not, it was the texts of renowned writers that were dealt with by the courts, as for example Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal in France, James Joyce's Ulysses and Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer in the US, D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover in Great-Britain, up to the more recent trials on Klaus Mann's Mephisto and Maxim Biller's novel Esra in Germany. By bringing together international leading experts, Literary Trials represents the first step towards a systematic discussion of literary trials on a global scale. Beginning by first reassessing some of the most famous of these trials, it also analyses less well-known but significant literary trials. Special attention is paid to recent developments in the relationship between literature and judicature, pointing towards an increasing role for libel and defamation in the societal demarcation of what literature is, and is not, allowed to do.

When it comes down to acclaim in the yearbook, my class rank would probably earn me my only entry, but probably very little else. I don't wear cosmetics, do my hair or really give a damn about my appearance in general. I don't need to be cool, and I've managed my high school career navigating all the different groups from the nerds to the jocks to the theatre kids and the band geeks. Kicking off senior year, my only focus is to make every AP class count and keep my grades up. Shouldn't be hard, particularly with my so-called untouchable status. Oh yeah, imagine that-I had a reputation. Hadn't been a blip on my radar until the end of junior year when one of the girls' dropped that little nugget on me. Apparently, the guys at school considered me the best girl to hang out with for fun or homework, but nothing else. While I'm not looking for a date, it's a little hard to swallow that I ranked as the best bud and tutor, but would definitely never fall into the Girl Most Likely To Get Asked Out.Pfft. What did I care? One more year and I was off to college, so what if the numbers of female friends I used to have drifted off and I'd scored a permanent seat in the friend zone. I had subjects to study, grades to maintain, and colleges to get into. Fine, I didn't care about the rules or status before, and I wouldn't now. 181 class days to go, and I'll graduate. No problem, right?*Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the forward in her books.

Autumn in New York promises a turn in the seasons as we kick off the next stage of our lives. Colorful leaves falling, dropping temperatures, and the first days of classes loom even as the lingering summer heat and humidity make the city stifling. Summer was a time to get away, to just be us, and what a magical time it was, but we can only run away from our lives for so long. We have family, careers, friends-new and old-as well as commitments waiting for us. With a new place to call our own in a new city I'm already half-in-love with, we're not afraid of the challenges ahead. Of course, not everyone is rooting for us, not everyone wants us to succeed, and some choices may come back to haunt us. But don't come for those I love and expect me to do nothing. They might want to surround me in a layer of protection, but they're mine and I'm more than willing to fight to keep them. Feel free to test me, I've never failed one yet. *Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the forward in her books.
