Abel has made a name for herself by writing short fiction that mostly features loquacious urban hipsters. (Also a tireless supporter of the medium, she was one of the organizers of a short-lived series of slide-show comix "happenings" in 2001.) Her first novel-length work, La Perdida has an unusual style for comix: Unlike most of her fellow North American graphic novelists, Abel doesn't use humor, irony or traditional comic book genres.

Bok also highlights the kind of language requirements that fail to produce fluency but represent an undue course burden...
...Cambridge City Council approved a liquor license application yesterday for Manpriya, Inc., which hopes to open a liquor and package store on JFK Street. The Square has lacked a full-service liquor store since Harvard Provision closed in March 2003. The license was discussed by the Council at length because of recent local regulatory problems. The Knights of Columbus recently had their license revoked for three days in response to underage drinking at their lodge, and Libby’s Liquor Market is under investigation for violating its license by selling to an intoxicated person, according to the Cambridge Chronicle...
