Da begegnet Chen Qiming, ein aufsteigender Stern am Pekingopernhimmel, dem jungen russisch-chinesischen Kommandeur Yan Ci. Es stellt sich heraus, dass ihre Verbindung bis in die Kindheit zurückreicht. Doch bevor das geklärt werden kann, werden die beiden in die Intrigen zwischen den Pekingoperntruppen und den Machtkampf zwischen den Warlords verwickelt. Wir erleben die aufregende Welt der Pekingoper, wo auf und hinter der Bühne immer wieder mit den Geschlechterrollen gespielt wird.

"Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away--no climate change, no war, no Twitter--beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren't so sure it's a good idea. Space technologies and space business are progressing fast, but we lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms, and create space nations in a way that doesn't spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you've ever wondered about, and many you've never considered: Can you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon's Peaks of Eternal Light--and what happens if you're left in the Craters of Eternal Darkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals, what's the legal status of space cannibalism?"--Publisher marketing.

Even scarier than the ghosts? Though neither wants to admit it, the boys might be growing apart. And perilously close by to the boys' adventure, Thessaly the witch finds herself held hostage by dangerous magics--both a threat to her life and an insult to her ego that simply will not go unanswered"--

It's 1982-early dawn in the alternative comics movement. Steve Lafler, bohemian cartoonist, taps into his unconscious mind and finds his inner Dog Boy: An unruly man-child equipped with a Golden Retriever head.Reared on the incandescent comic book innovations of Jack Kirby, coming of age in the subsequent explosion of Underground Comix, Lafler sets out to chart his own inky journey.Marked by a shattering ego-death experience behind psilocybin on the cusp of adulthood, the artist roots around in his psyche, utilizing an improvisational, unscripted cartooning method. Pumping out page after page of comics penciled in a thick non-photo blue line, he furiously swings at a vision of the simultaneity of all action, reaching for the gold ring deep inside.Readers encounter a critique of wage slavery, plenty of strong coffee, a bit of beer guzzling and healthy dose of low-brow slapstick on this cartoon roller coaster ride. Lafler's early career improvisations soar, and at turns fall flat, but it's well worth the coin to join him on these good natured spelunking expeditions of the heart.
