"Lush, mystical ... a memoir that blends family historia and the puzzling deadly politics of Peru."&#8212;USA Today"American Chica is a fascinating blend of autobiography and soap opera, memoir and meditation. ... full of larger-than-life characters and stranger-than-fiction situations. ... delightful."&#8212;Washington Post"Arana's intimate and intelligent memoir captures exactly the pulse of a changing America. ...[C]learly demonstrates her ability to write crystalline prose and make erudite cultural observations."&#8212;Library Journal"Part history, part family memoir ... American Chica reads like a collaboration between John Cheever and Isabel Allende.... One of the many reasons the reader can't put this memoir down is the author's impressive command of her craft.... Arana has left her own imprint on her material, while at the same time displaying virtuosity in the storyteller's traditional gifts: spareness, clarity, and a passion for allegory."&#8212;The New York Times Book ReviewA South American man, a North American woman&#8212;hoping against hope, throwing a frail span over the divide, trying to bolt beams into sand. There was one large lesson my parents had yet to learn as they strode into the garden with friends, hungry for rum and fried blood: There is a fundamental rift between North and South America, a flaw so deep it is tectonic. The plates don't fit. The earth is loose. A fault runs through. Earthquakes happen. Walls are likely to fall.&#8212;from American Chica

"This book makes an important contribution to the burgeoning literature that is currently re-examining the essential characteristics of political realism. Although the link between political realism and human nature has often been made, this ambitious book provides the first attempt to explore the link in a detailed and systematic fashion. Through a close analysis of published and unpublished sources, Schuett demonstrates a surprisingly close relationship between some of the key realist thinkers, Morgenthau in particular, and a Freudian view of human nature. This controversial assessment has important implications for how realist thinking will be assessed in the future."

"This book fills an intriguing gap in the history of International Relations and makes a challenging case for rethinking the significance of both Freud and human nature for international political theory today."

Joe Miller's Jests

"Verdict - 9.6 A diabolically epic story.+ An anti-hero you can't take your eyes off of.+ Osamu Tezuka. (Need we say more?)- Possibly Tezuka's bleakest work yet."                - Anime media network."Created during the period of 1976-1978 MW is a shocker, especially for it's time, both in terms of the potential for terrorism and the phsychological effects on the reader, who, in some cultures, might not easily adapt to this nature of storytelling (for example, what would Hollywood do with this plot?)" - www.anime.com "MW is a story that will make you think, and will probably make you unhappy about a segment of mankind, and will thrill you in ways that feel uncomfortable. It&#8217;s a major graphic novel by a major creator, grappling with the nature of evil in a way that superhero comics only wish they could. And it&#8217;s presented in a form nearly transparent to Western readers. From what I&#8217;ve seen, Tezuka&#8217;s dark works of the &#8216;60s and &#8216;70s are easily his best, and MW is right up there." - ComicMix "The author shrewdly reveals through these characters the vulnerability of human beings and the concept of latent "original sin" that lurks inside us." -  Brian Cirulnick
