was nominated for a Minnesota Book Award, and his ambitious new novel will certainly be in the running this year.

Stewart Van Cleve launches Land of 10,000 Loves:A History of Queer Minnesota  
Drawing from the renowned Tretter Collection at the University of Minnesota-a vast collection of books, photographs, films, and other historical artifacts that Van Cleve calls "one of the most comprehensive accounts of international queer history in the world"-Land of 10,000 Loves blends oral history, archival narrative, newspaper accounts, and fascinating illustrations to paint a remarkable picture of Minnesota's queer history.

Anne Elizabeth Moore presents 
In Cambodia, the city of Phnom Penh offers public dance lessons on a newly revitalized riverfront directly in front of prime minister Hun Sen's urban home. Every night before dusk, much of the city gathers to bust a few Apsara moves and rehearse a few choreographed hip hop dances learned from a slew of attractive young men at the head of each group. Following on the heels of Cambodian Grrrl: Self- Publishing in Phnom Penh, Anne Elizabeth Moore compiled photographs that document Phnom Penh's bustling nightlife and thus form a portrait of a nation's emerging middle class. A series of essays complement the imagery, investigating the relationship between public and private space, mourning and memory, tradition and economic development.
