Download or read book The Horizontal Man written by Helen Eustis and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philandering professor on the faculty of an Ivy League school is found murdered, setting off ripple effects of anxiety, suspicion, and panic in this Edgar Award-winning classic from 1946. The Horizontal Man was Helen Eustis's only crime novel, and she won an Edgar Award for it, combining a wildly disparate set of elements into an enduringly fascinating work. In its way it is a classical whodunit that stands comparison with old-school practitioners such as Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers. This mystery transpires in the rarefied precincts of the English department of a venerable New England college, one very much of the restless postwar moment, echoing with references to Freud and Kafka. Eustis finds comedy high and low in a cavalcade of characters bursting at the seams with repressed sexual longings and simmering malice. Beyond the satire, she stirs up--with a narrative whose multiple viewpoints give the book a striking modernistic edge--a troubling sense of the mental chaos lurking just beneath the civilized surfaces of her academic setting.

Download or read book The Woman in Red written by Dan Andriacco and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder Among Supervillains As a professor of popular culture in his day job, amateur sleuth Sebastian McCabe knows a bit about superheroes, supervillains, and the various graphic novel universes. But that's not much help when murder strikes at the Tri-State Comic Book Expo. Potential suspects number in the thousands, including some A-list Hollywood actors as well as comic book professionals and a collector. It all begins with Erin, Ohio-based artist-writer Parker Williams, creator of the superhero Red Falcon, being accused of plagiarizing the character of his newest supervillain, Queen Bee. Mac and best friend Jeff Cody take a special interest because they know Williams from another case. When accuser Gavin Frost-Pierson and Williams both shows up at the Expo, tensions run high. Before long, McCabe and Cody are dealing with murder in an elevator and a dying message that leads to a search for the mysterious woman in red-or perhaps not a woman at all-at an event in which many participants are costumed for cosplay. And in this third year of COVID, some individuals are un-costumed participants still wearing masks as well. Then again, not all masks are obvious. Who has a murderous heart? And what role does a forged comic book cover play? When a suspect flees police after the second murder, Police Chief Oscar Hummel is convinced he has the murderer. Sebastian McCabe is certain his old friend is wrong but has a hard time coming up with an alternative theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Vindication of the Redhead investigates red hair in literature, art, television, and film throughout Eastern and Western cultures.

Maier provide a history of attitudes held by hegemonic populations toward red-haired individuals, groups, and genders from antiquity to the present. Ayres and Maier explore such diverse topics as Judeo-Christian narratives of red hair, redheads in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, red hair and gender identity, famous literary redheads such as Anne of Green Gables and Pippi Longstocking, contemporary and Neo-Victorian representations of redheads from the Black Widow to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and more. This book illuminates the symbolic significance and related ideologies of red hair constructed in mythic, religious, literary, and visual cultural discourse.
Download or read book The Bodily Unconscious in Psychoanalytic Technique written by Sebastian Leikert and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bodily Unconscious in Psychoanalytic Technique explores how corporeality and body memory can be more strongly integrated into psychoanalytic work. This book brings together an international range of contributors to consider the bodily unconscious from different theoretical perspectives. Concepts from the work of Freud, Bion, Winnicott, Lacan, Laplanche, and Fonagy are developed with the aim of incorporating body memory into psychoanalytic technique. The contributors consider how severe and complex clinical states, dominated by bodily symptoms and disorganization, can be approached with methods that go beyond classical interpretation. The book includes ten case histories and discussion of key themes including transference and countertransference, feelings of corporeality and bodily sensations, and features clinical material throughout. The Bodily Unconscious in Psychoanalytic Technique will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and training, particularly those interested in somatic approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandra Chastain’s bestselling western romances shine with her special blend of love and laughter. Now the award-winning author leads us once again into the heart’s untamed territory as a mismatched couple rides a blazing trail to passion. McKenzie Kathryn Calhoun doesn’t mean to rob the bank in Promise, Kansas. But when she accidentally does, she doesn’t think—she runs. Suddenly the raggedy tomboy has the money to make a life for herself . . . if she doesn’t get caught. But it’s just her luck to find herself sitting across the stagecoach from a dangerously handsome, gun-toting preacher who seems to see through her bravado to the desperate woman beneath. John Lee Brandon figures that the feisty redhead is running from something. A hired gun, he’s masquerading as a reverend on his way to a mining town called Heaven—and it will take a shrewder lady than Macky to pull the wool over his eyes. But when the town welcomes them as “Preacher Adams” and his wife, he’s caught in a charade of respectable wedded bliss. And the two of them are headed for a showdown between lies and love. Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
