Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A subversive, seriously funny new theater piece by the adventurous playwright Young Jean Lee. . . . Ms. Lee does not shy away from prodding the audience's racial sensitivities--or insensitivities--in a style that is sometimes sly and subtle, sometimes as blunt as a poke in the eye."--Charles Isherwood, The New York Times "Lee is a facetious provocateur; she does whatever she can to get under our skins--with laughs and with raw, brutal talk . . . [and with] so ingenious a twist, such a radical bit of theatrical smoke and mirrors, that we are forced to confront our own preconceived notions of race."--Hilton Als, The New Yorker With The Shipment, her latest work taking on identity politics, Young Jean Lee "confirms herself as one of the best experimental playwrights in America" (Time Out New York). The Korean American theater artist has taken on cultural images of black America, in a play that begins with sketches of African American clichés--an angry, foul-mouthed comedian; an aspiring young rapper who ends up in prison--and ends with a seemingly naturalistic parlor comedy, which slyly reveals the larger game Lee is playing, leaving us to consider the many ways that we see the world through a racial lens. Young Jean Lee is a playwright, director, and artistic director of her own OBIE Award-winning theater company, which as been producing her plays since 2003. Her other works include Songs of Dragons Flying to Heaven, Church, The Appeal, and Pullman, WA, and they have been produced across the country and internationally.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Wellness can be defined as a process wherein an employee is well aware of what healthy choices in life are all about and the assimilation of learning to make such healthy choices. It broadly means ensuring that the body is maintained in a good condition so that life runs smoothly and people live for a longer time. Companies have now woken up to this concept and the number of companies embracing wellness programs is on the rise globally thereby indicating a bandwagon effect. It must however be noted that there is no one or right way to ensure wellness. Companies have a wide range of programs and the bouquets may differ from organisation to organisation. It must also be kept in mind that over enthusiasm to thrust activities on employees might actually lead to more stress and this would defeat the very purpose of the wellness initiative. Wellness initiative could include emotional wellness, financial wellness, mental or psychological wellness, spiritual wellness, physical wellness, social wellness, and so on. Frolich, Lorenz (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Provocative playwright Young Jean Lee lends her shrewd perspective to this atypical take on the family drama. A father and his three sons unite and unravel, both aware of and undone by privilege and its pressure. When inherent social expectation conflicts with a desire to remain stagnant, the resulting identity confusion is new territory for the tightknit family. Strikingly observant and curiously drawn, Lee departs from her experimental style to create a naturalistic observation of the most socially unobstructed of our species, the straight white male.…
