Lavender Old Ladies: A Collection Of Non-Fiction [Paperback]

Selected pieces of the student literary magazine, Forum, have been assembled into this compilation - timeless stories ranging from such topics as racism to multiculturalism; from living with AIDS to dying from AIDS; from quantum physics to existentialism; from Esperanto to terrorism; from the respect for history to the fears of growing up; and from living with obsessive-compulsive disorder to dying from cancer. Readers will be hard-pressed to determine whether a story was written in 1986 or 2006. Therein lies the beauty of Lavender & Old Ladies: its content has a degree of timelessness.
