Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's action isolated to the interior of a public library, DUSTJACKET FLOWERS is an exploration of art, jealousy, loneliness and man's dependence on the impressions of others for a sense of identity. When he meets Sam Zero, a talented writer several years his junior, Danial Thames, a directionless idler, becomes caught up in an attempt at creating a persona to match Zero's misconceptions about him. After the writer stops seeking him out, Thames finds himself still posturing as this invented personality, both to himself and to his shifting group of acquaintances. The novel contains Sult's most pervasive usage of invented fragments of "reality" as reference points for opinions and personality, creating a layered world in which a man can find identity only as fiction or as reaction to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Book excerpt: We’ve all seen red roses, blue irises, and yellow daffodils. But when we really look closely at a flower, whole new worlds of beauty and intricacy emerge. Using a unique process that far surpasses conventional macro photography, Robert Llewellyn shows us details that few of us have ever seen: the amazing architecture of stamens and pistils; the subtle shadings on a petal; the secret recesses of nectar tubes. Complementing Llewellyn’s stunning photographs are Teri Dunn Chace’s lyrical, illuminating essays. By highlighting the features that distinguish twenty-eight of the most common families of flowering plants, Chace gives us fascinating insights into the natural history of flowers, such as the relationship between pollinators and floral form and color. At the same time she gives us a deeper appreciation of why and how flowers have become so deeply embedded in human culture. Whether you’re a nature lover, a gardener, a photography buff, or someone who simply responds to the timeless beauty and variety of the floral world, Seeing Flowers will be a source of enduring delight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this short work -the story of Percival Champagne, a man who claims to be a composer, and his lover, the pianist Aletkxander Mockturtle- Constantine Sult puts forward his most hopeful investigation into the possibility of finding love in a world composed entirely of abstraction and subjectivity; in which the only lasting ideas are those consciously clung to by the individual. Another of Sult's novels of Structural Experiment, THE ORDER, IN WHICH THE WIND uses both the physical elements of the text and the impressionistic content of the narrative to evoke a world in which there exists no external point of reference; in which situations and ideas all lack beginnings, cohesive form and end.

Download or read book Regard written by Constantine Sult and published by Brown Paper Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its investigation of the psyche through attention to precise physical minutia, its refusal to distinguish between the banal and the singular and its purposeful avoidance of laying emphasis any more to one detail than another, REGARD could be looked at as Constantine Sult's mission statement: to create a novel that is plot-less, unsettling and entirely subjective. Glimpses into the life of a thirteen year old girl, whose time is primarily spent waiting between one incidental activity and another, the novel examines her encounters with boredom, friendship, isolation, violence, sexuality and longing, commenting on man's inability to distinguish one state from another.
Download or read book Confidant written by Constantine Sult and published by Brown Paper Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing the framework of the thriller, Constantine Sult's second novel is the story of Timothy Spell, his fiancée Caina, neighbor Julien Servant and Servant's wife, Rachael: four individuals whose lives become immersed in an escalating series of deceptions, betrayals and murder. Distinct in the author's body of work for it's heavy usage of plot and it's investigation of distinct consequence, CONFIDANT, nonetheless, is marked by Sult's removed narrative attention to detail and use of structure as an expressive element of craft. Furthering his theme of the distance between personal identity and the connection to others -either as friend, lover, victimizer or redemptive presence- the novel is a claustrophobic mediation on trust and culpability.

Download or read book Miscellaneous Language written by Constantine Sult and published by Brown Paper Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MISCELLANEOUS LANGUAGE, an examination of the unconscious details that comprise life and the ethereal nature of human connection, is also the first in what Constantine Sult considers his Structural Experiment novels: works in which details of the composition serve not only as accents, but as intricate, expressive elements of the novel's core statement. Through a clinically removed, first person voice and a narrative sequestered to only commenting on incidental motions and thoughts, this novel relates three episodes in the life of its protagonist: the evening of his decision to leave his wife and daughter; the afternoon of his attendance at the funeral wake of a stranger; and the morning of his return to his home and family.
