Book excerpt: CONTROL HIS URGES OR DIE Killing someone doesn’t produce the terrible guilt fugitive Yvonne Landis had thought. That's the takeaway after she shoots her dangerous ex-psychiatrist. But she soon faces other problems. Her son Gabe claims he no longer has to kill bad people to cure his debilitating anger because it’s gone. She demands he still do it in case he’s mistaken. It’s the only way to prevent him from hurting another innocent person. Gabe refuses to go on killing. Yvonne can make him by threatening to turn him into the police; after all, she has his recorded murder confession. She’d rather not as he might respond by killing her, and then no one’s left to help control his urges. Her only other choice is to be creative. But how do you trick someone into killing someone else? She must succeed. If not, all her work trying to save Gabe will have been for naught.

Download or read book Crafting a Collection written by Anna Shields and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Compiled in 940 at the court of the kingdom of Shu, the Huajian ji is the earliest extant collection of song lyrics by literati poets. The collection has traditionally been studied as the precursor to the lyrics of the Song dynasty, or in terms of what it contributed to the later development of the genre. But scholars have rarely examined the work as an anthology, and have more often focused on the work of individual poets and their respective contributions to the genre.In this book, Anna Shields examines the influence of court culture on the creation of the anthology and the significance of imitation and convention in its lyrics. Shields suggests that by considering the Huajian ji only in terms of its contributions to a later “model,” we unnecessarily limit ourselves to a single literary form, and risk overlooking the broader influence of Tang culture on the Huajian ji. By illuminating the historical and literary contexts of the anthology, the author aims to situate the Huajian ji within larger questions of Chinese literary history, particularly the influence of cultural forces on the emergence of genres and the development of romantic literature."
