Book excerpt: Enter the first five novels in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Next series—over one million copies in print!—and follow literary detective Thursday Next as she adventures through her alternate reality of literature-obsessed England. “What keeps this series humming is Fforde’s lively engagement with books and the indefatigable woman he’s created to defend them.”—People “It’s easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times The Eyre Affair: Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “delightfully clever,” this riotous novel follows Detective Thursday Next as she tracks down the villain who plucked Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë’s novel—and averts a heinous act of literary homicide.

But when she discovers a new play from the Bard himself and finds herself the target of a series of potentially lethal coincidences, she realizes the stakes are far higher than she could have predicted. The Well of Lost Plots: Thursday is ready for a break. She heads to the depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside, to lose herself in a cliché-ridden pulp mystery.

To top it off, a murderer is stalking Jurisfiction personnel and nobody is safe—least of all Thursday. Something Rotten: It’s back to reality for Thursday—and fiction never looked so good. But as she travels with the dithering Danish prince Hamlet, she becomes wrapped up in an outlaw fictioneer’s plot for absolute power. Can Thursday find a Shakespeare clone to stop this hostile takeover? First Among Sequels: Thursday grapples with a host of problems in the Book World, but her biggest challenge is motivating her sixteen-year-old son, Friday, to follow his destiny as a member of the ChronoGuard.

Download or read book The Bless Me Father Series Books 1 5 written by Neil Boyd and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed series that inspired a hit London Weekend Television sitcom is “a long, gentle breeze of humour” (James Herriot). Based on the author’s real-life experiences after completing seminary and later adapted into a beloved British sitcom, these five novels are a humorous and sweet-natured look at Catholicism in the 1950s. Readers of all creeds will enjoy Father Neil’s adventures at St. Jude’s parish, a corner of London with a raucous congregation full of Irish immigrants. Bless Me, Father: Young Neil Boyd has just finished divinity school. A newly ordained priest, his first post is at St. Jude’s parish where he meets the cantankerous, scheming, and brilliant Father Duddleswell and Mrs. Pring, the sharp-tongued housekeeper. Father Duddleswell is willing to do anything to make sure the Lord’s will be done, from placing a bet to obstructing an interdenominational love affair. A Father Before Christmas: The holiday season is among the most hectic times at St. Jude’s, and this year is no exception for Father Neil. As always, he has his hands full with Father Duddleswell, who has decided to invite all the other sects of Christianity to celebrate Christmas with them. The plan quickly unravels when two religious leaders from another denomination try to convert Father Neil and a clock goes missing—as does the church collection. Father in a Fix: After six months at St. Jude’s, Father Neil makes a New Year’s resolution to wise up. With the crazy collection of characters at his parish, this will be no easy feat, especially when Father Duddleswell is named the prime suspect in the killing of a gambling parishioner’s smelly pig and a generous attempt to give the suspected butcher a day off goes zanily haywire. Bless Me Again, Father: After finishing his first year at St. Jude’s, Father Neil finally feels as if he has his feet firmly planted on the ground. But the parish is still full of surprises, and the clergy are confronted with all manner of crisis. First, there is the dilemma of Dr. Daley, whose drinking is causing his health to deteriorate but who worries that sobriety will ruin his personality. Then, much to Father Duddleswell’s chagrin, a new donkey overruns the church, followed by a fresh litter of kittens. Father Under Fire: As St. Jude’s adds another member to its clergy—Father Abe, an octogenarian with an agenda of his own—the church staff finds themselves embroiled in a rivalry among undertakers, a visit during Holy Week from the bishop with the longest rosary on record, a harebrained scheme to promote holy water as a fertility enhancer, and a night spent under a pool table during a pilgrimage.

Download or read book Modernist Experiments in Genre Media and Transatlantic Print Culture written by Jennifer Julia Sorensen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years from 1890 through 1935 witnessed an explosion of print, both in terms of the variety of venues for publication and in the vast circulation figures and the quantity of print forums. Arguing that the formal strategies of modernist texts can only be fully understood in the context of the material forms and circuits of print culture through which they were produced and distributed, Jennifer Sorensen shows how authors and publishers conceptualized the material text as an object, as a body, and as an ontological problem. She examines works by Henry James, Jean Toomer, Djuna Barnes, Katherine Mansfield, and Virginia Woolf, showing that they understood acts of reading as materially mediated encounters. Sorensen draws on recent textual theory, media theory, archival materials, and paratexts such as advertisements, illustrations, book designs, drafts, diaries, dust jackets, notes, and frontispieces, to demonstrate how these writers radically redefined literary genres and refashioned the material forms through which their literary experiments reached the public. Placing the literary text at the center of inquiry while simultaneously expanding the boundaries of what counts as that, Sorensen shows that modernist generic and formal experimentation was deeply engaged with specific print histories that generated competitive media ecologies of competition and hybridization.
