Stranded in Time

The island of Cyprus is divided by a line drawn 16 years ago to separate warring Greeks and Turks. Both sides are now stranded: Cypriots living ten metres apart cannot telephone each other. Districts where thousands of people once lived are deserted; memories of the killings are fresh and emotions run high. Christopher Hitchens travels on both sides, aghast at what he finds. One person he meets is equally surprised. Andrew Constantinides , with a broad London accent, stayed too long on holiday and found himself conscripted into the Greek National Guard. Now he faces the guns of Turkish Cypriots with whom, back in London, he might have been happy to go drinking.

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
