Download or read book The Moon Cleaner written by C. C. Brower and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the unknown "X" lost her job and any way to make a living, she only wanted her life back. But she settled for revenge. In a way she wouldn't expect - cleaning up the elitist government messes. Because having dead bodies around did no one any good. And someone was on a purge in those self-named "royal" houses that ran the moon colony cities. Her particular mindset and training as a medical clinician allowed her to view death with a singular frame of mind. While all the people she'd helped in that medical clinic gave her loyal, fast friends among the "down-belows" who did the mining and kept everything running. The opportunity to now work for an ambitious executive who had a nasty habit of eliminating her bosses was just too good to pass up - and maybe find out who had wrecked her life. Get Your Copy Now.

Download or read book State Sponsored Literature written by Asha Rogers and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates about the value of the 'literary' rarely register the expressive acts of state subsidy, sponsorship, and cultural policy that have shaped post-war Britain. In State Sponsored Literature, Asha Rogers argues that the modern state was a major material condition of literature, even as its efforts were relative, partial, and prone to disruption. Drawing from neglected and occasionally unexpected archives, she shows how the state became an integral and conflicted custodian of literary freedom in the postcolonial world as beliefs about literature's 'public' were radically challenged by the unrivalled migration to Britain at the end of Empire. State Sponsored Literature retells the story of literature's place in post-war Britain through original analysis of the institutional forces behind canon-formation and contestation, from the literature programmes of the British Council and Arts Council and the UK's fraught relations with UNESCO, to GCSE literature anthologies and the origins of The Satanic Verses in migrant Camden. The state did not shape literary production in a vacuum, Rogers argues, but its policies, practices, and priorities were also inexorably shaped in turn. Demonstrating how archival work can potentially transform our understanding of literature, this book challenges how we think about literature's value by asking what state involvement has meant for writers, readers, institutions, and the ideal of autonomy itself.

Download or read book Character and Dystopia written by Aaron S. Rosenfeld and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first extended study to specifically focus on character in dystopia. Through the lens of the "last man" figure, Character and Dystopia: The Last Men examines character development in Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We, Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange, Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, Nathanael West’s A Cool Million, David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross, Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Michel Houellebecq’s Submission, Chan Koonchung’s The Fat Years, and Maggie Shen King’s An Excess Male, showing how in the 20th and 21st centuries dystopian nostalgia shades into reactionary humanism, a last stand mounted in defense of forms of subjectivity no longer supported by modernity. Unlike most work on dystopia that emphasizes dystopia’s politics, this book’s approach grows out of questions of poetics: What are the formal structures by which dystopian character is constructed? How do dystopian characters operate differently than other characters, within texts and upon the reader? What is the relation between this character and other forms of literary character, such as are found in romantic and modernist texts? By reading character as crucial to the dystopian project, the book makes a case for dystopia as a sensitive register of modern anxieties about subjectivity and its portrayal in literary works.

Book excerpt: An old clock tower, with an unsolved death - that the ghost still haunted. Once a year she appeared. Right on the calendar date of her death. Not that she wasn't also seen during the day, some rumors said, but that was a real person. A flesh version. Who was also haunted by the mysterious death. The mystery was who pushed the young woman - or did she simply slip? Why the lights in the upper bell tower - and why three of them? Too many for a single person to carry... For hundreds of years, the clock never moved - frozen at the time of her death, it was said. Yet the bell still tolled once a year. Two minuted before her anniversary - of dying. Get Your Copy Now.

Book excerpt: Time haunted her. It didn't do what it was ""supposed to"" when she was around. It ran forward, backwards, sideways. Sometimes time helped her solve her problems, sometimes it made them worse. For a lovely young woman, you'd think there would be young men lined up to talk to her at any gathering. But she stayed away from them - to protect them from her curse. What would be the good of a comittment like that if the other person was going to age too fast or too slow - or live forever haunted with the thought of a long lost love? Or was this time-problem contagious? Were other people at risk because of her - or could she pass it onto her children? Life wasn't all that safe, just because you could bend time anyway you wanted.
