Download or read book My Most Secret Desire written by Julie Doucet and published by Drawn and Quarterly. This book was released on 2006-06-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most promising of the younger graphic novelists." —Charles McGrath, The New York Times Magazine Considered by many to be the most influential female cartoonist ever, Julie Doucet created an iconic body of work in the ten short years she solely devoted herself to her trailblazing comic-book series Dirty Plotte. Her comics are densely inked and detailed with a pulsating neurosis from a decidedly female point of view that set the comic-book world on its head when the series debuted. Doucet returns to comics after a five-year hiatus with a reworked edition of her dream journal My Most Secret Desire, complete with never-before-published material. My Most Secret Desire is considered to be Doucet 's most innovative work, exploring the longings, pressures, and exploits of the feminine subconscious. Nightmarish tales of pregnancy, menstruation, sex changes, and boyfriends haunt Doucet's nocturnal psyche with a feverish and surreal pitch.

Download or read book Blue Bel Air written by Brett Laidlaw and published by Ardent Media. This book was released on 1993 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sensual, dazzling language that ranges from lyrical heights to low comedy, Blue Bel Air leaps from the halls of science to urban blight, from fine dining to rummage sales, from thoughts of mass murder at a family picnic to a bacchanal on the shores of Lake Superior, from metaphysics to the dark cave of unreason and the insoluble ties of blood. Omnia vincit amor: Love conquers all. Does it? Omnia amans amens, this much seems sure: All lovers are demented. Sylvia Stenmark is a brilliant, troubled young woman whose accomplishments cannot compensate for a splintered family past and present. She works in the catacombs of a university laboratory complex, friend and executioner to radioactive mice. Bryce Fraser is a reporter who doesn't believe in facts. His past is haunted by the suicide of his father ("a full professor, a poet of small renown") seven years earlier. Carla, a cook, is Bryce's friend and Sylvia's high school classmate. When Sylvia unexpectedly resurfaces in Carla's life, and at the same time enters Bryce's life in a very different way, the forces of coincidence and fascination draw them together into a shifting triangle which will try the powers of friendship, loyalty, and love. On his first, odd date with Sylvia, Bryce comes away with Sylvia's grandmother's car, a 1962 Bel Air, and his fate becomes enmeshed for a time in the car's vintage machinery and in his own embrace of coincidence and the intuitive life that he strives to lead. The Blue Bel Air is a vehicle in many senses, a vehicle that Bryce can't quite seem to steer. Blue Bel Air is a novel that illuminates character with precision, humor, and brilliance. It ponders motive while refusing easy psychology, temperingrationality with the mysterious workings of what Bryce calls "the secret desire". It encompasses a richly textured world of love and betrayal, reason and imagination, heartbreak and joy.

But when he decides to raise his voice against a shocking rural tradition in order to save a young girl’s life, he finds a well of inspiration and strength that he never expected.

Download or read book Twenty First Century Bollywood written by Ajay Gehlawat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key changes have emerged in Bollywood in the new millennium. Twenty-First Century Bollywood traces the emerging shifts in both the content and form of Bollywood cinema and examines these new tendencies in relation to the changing dynamics of Indian culture. The book historically situates these emerging trends in relation to previous norms, and develops new, innovative paradigms for conceptualizing Bollywood in the twenty-first century. The particular shifts in contemporary Bollywood cinema that the book examines include the changing nature of the song and dance sequence, the evolving representations of male and female sexuality, and the increasing presence of whiteness as a dominant trope in Bollywood cinema. It also focuses on the increasing presence of Bollywood in higher education courses in the West, as well as how Bollywood’s growing presence in such academic contexts illuminates the changing ways in which this cinema is consumed by Western audiences. Shifting the focus back on the cinematic elements of contemporary films themselves, the book analyses Bollywood films by considering the film dynamics on their own terms, and related to their narrative and aesthetic usage, rather than through an analysis of large-scale industrial practices. It will be of interest to students and scholars of South Asian Studies, Film Studies, and Cultural Studies.
