Book excerpt: What's next? Male cervical cancer? Somebody said that alienation was a disease of the middle class. Probably Marx, but Lester Reichartsen doesn't have time to look it up. A decade ago, Lester was kicked out of the biggest punk band in Chicago. Since then he's been party to an accidental pregnancy, talked into marrying the other party, and roped into an academic career in Classical Letters, so time won't allow him to be curious about much of anything outside his "discipline." But if whoever said that was right, Lester is middle class for sure. The island of college-town academics he lives on now is almost as alien as the Bible Belt wasteland that surrounds it. So why is it that when some meth heads break into his little family's cramped apartment, the only thing they find of value to steal is his seven-year-old computer? If this is the middle class, then Lester doesn't want to know what lies beneath. Praise... If Celine and Hamsun weren't fascists, they'd be Ann Sterzinger. And finally, a book where the footnotes aren't a twee affectation. -Nick Mamatas Dark, tragic, and hilariously funny, Sterzinger's third novel will likely resonate differently with everyone, and should be considered a sound addition to your reading list. -Treason and Treachery This is an absolutely must-real novel. . . . NVSQVAM succeeds in part because despite being a woman, Sterzinger absolutely nails the hopelessness and listlessness of the average middle-aged American man. It sounds condescending to write that, but being able to write convincing characters of the opposite sex is a tough job for any novelist, and Sterzinger accomplishes it with aplomb. -Matt Forney Deft satire, intermingling comedy and tragedy in a manner reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh's early works. -Paul Bingham If I had a voice in the fawning, compliant corporate media, I'd advise readers everywhere to defenestrate Jonathan Frazen's Freedom or whatever other mass-marketed, safe, suburban faux "edgy" book they're reading right now, and snap up a copy of NVSQVAM (nowhere) instead. Not because I think all of those readers would truly enjoy what this novel has to offer, but because I secretly relish the thought of them hurting their little whitebread minds on this book's razor-sharp edges. -Anonymous Lester Reichartsen is a self-absorbed, largely useless asshole but he's our asshole, my generation's asshole. You can't hobble large segments of a generation and then hold them completely responsible for limping. -Anita Dalton, Odd Things Considered I admire aesthetic integrity and appreciate literary talent, and Ann Sterzinger has both of these in spades. -Andy Nowicki NVSQVAM (nowhere) is a very funny and tragic novel of not just the horror of living in the early 21st century, but of being alive at all. Lester Reichartsen is an excruciatingly human character whose life makes you laugh to keep from crying at how awful and pathetic it is. Between this and The Talkative Corpse, I'm convinced Ann Sterzinger is one of the most underrated writers working today. The attention she receives is far too sparse for someone who can write this well. -Ben Arzate Ann Sterzinger's writing is electric. -Frank Marcopolos Some books keep you at arms' length from their characters misery. Ann Sterzinger shoves your nose in it, like you're a misbehaving dog and the book is your mistake. In one sense, it's very funny. In another sense, it's not funny at all. It doesn't matter who you are. If you're made of carbon, SOMETHING in this book will hit too close to home. -Empty World NOTE: This new edition of Ann Sterzinger's cult novel NVSQVAM (nowhere) has been mildly retuned for your reading pleasure and comes appended with an incisive new aft

Download or read book Comfort and Critique written by Peter Sotos and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this unsettling new book, cult author Peter Sotos recounts the abduction and murder of 8-year-old Sarah Payne, a crime that stunned England and spawned an aftermath of reactionary outcry and violent protest. Through news bites and tabloid clippings reassembled in reverse chronology, Sotos examines the media apotheosis of Payne's parents in the wake of her disappearance, scrutinizes the hidden motives of reporters and citizens driven to hysterical excess by grief, vengeance, and opportunism, and illumines the insatiable lusts that govern the actions of sexual predators. Punctuated by philosophical overtures and self-deprecating quips, Comfort and Critique is a brutal meditation on fantasy and desire set against a backdrop of media banter and illicit back room activity in bars and underground sex clubs. Supplemented by over 100 photos, this volume is possibly Sotos' most revealing and multi-faceted work yet." From publisher's web site, http://www.void-books.com.

Download or read book A Wilderness of Error written by Errol Morris and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-22 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be an FX Docuseries from Emmy® Award-Winning Producer Marc Smerling (The Jinx) featuring the author Errol Morris! Academy Award–winning filmmaker Errol Morris examines one of the most notorious and mysterious murder trials of the twentieth century In this profoundly original meditation on truth and the justice system, Errol Morris—a former private detective and director of The Thin Blue Line—delves deeply into the infamous Jeffrey MacDonald murder case. MacDonald, whose pregnant wife and two young daughters were brutally murdered in 1970, was convicted of the killings in 1979 and remains in prison today. The culmination of an investigation spanning over twenty years and a masterly reinvention of the true-crime thriller, A Wilderness of Error is a shocking book because it shows that everything we have been told about the case is deeply unreliable and that crucial elements of case against MacDonald are simply not true.
Download or read book Lucifer s Lexicon The Portable L A Rollins written by L. a. Rollins and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary, L.A. Rollins first unsheathed his lexicographer's lance in the pages of marginal political periodicals during the mid-1980s. At a time when Objectivist orthodoxy and Cold War political theater dominated libertarian discourse, Rollins' distinctive brand of irreverent irony stood out. He skewered shibboleths and dethroned dogmas from all quarters, and his trenchant jeu de mots made a lasting impression in the minds of many readers. In 1987, Loompanics Unlimited released the first edition of Lucifer's Lexicon, a freewheeling compilation of Rollins' satirical definitions--including content deemed too inflammatory for less adventurous publishers. Though the book would become a cult classic, Rollins' contrarian take on certain closely guarded historical and religious taboos chafed the sensibilities of some gatekeepers. Following its release, Rollins--who had previously courted controversy for his incisive critique of natural rights theory--was marked a pariah. The present edition is the first in a series of portable paperbacks being published by Nine-Banded Books and Underworld Amusements to chronicle the work of L.A. Rollins. With slight revision, it incorporates the "canonical" Loompanics text, now extensively supplemented to include never-before-published material that Rollins produced until his death in 2015. It is presented with a new introduction by individualist-anarchist blogger and Attack the System co-editor MRDA and a publisher's preface.

Download or read book Thirteen Girls written by Mikita Brottman and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIRTEEN GIRLS is a casebook that plumbs the annals of "true crime," delivering thirteen bracing stories of murder and its emotional fallout. Each fictionalized narrative is based on a real victim of a serial killer, and each is told from a different perspective -- a mother, a shrink, a cop, a sister -- to reveal the stark afterlife of human carnage. Leveraging the emotional power of personal testimony, Mikita Brottman presents an unblinking psychological portrait of murder, a dark descent that illuminates our cultural obsession with violence and the need for "closure" that persists in the hearts and minds of those who live in its wake. - from back cover.
Download or read book The Battle of Marathon written by Peter Krentz and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the city-state of Athens defeat the invaders from Persia, the first world empire, on the plain of Marathon in 490 BCE? Clever scholars skeptical of our earliest surviving source, Herodotus, have produced one ingenious theory after another. In this stimulating new book, bound to provoke controversy, Peter Krentz argues that Herodotus was right after all. Beginning his analysis with the Athenians’ first formal contact with the Persians in 507 BCE, Krentz weaves together ancient evidence with travelers’ descriptions, archaeological discoveries, geological surveys, and the experiences of modern reenactors and soldiers to tell his story. Krentz argues that before Marathon the Athenian army fought in a much less organized way than the standard view of the hoplite phalanx suggests: as an irregularly armed mob rather than a disciplined formation of identically equipped infantry. At Marathon the Athenians equipped all their fighters, including archers and horsemen, as hoplites for the first time. Because their equipment weighed only half as much as is usually thought, the Athenians and their Plataean allies could charge almost a mile at a run, as Herodotus says they did. Krentz improves on this account in Herodotus by showing why the Athenians wanted to do such a risky thing.

From girls boarding schools in Scotland to fashion shows in Peking, from utopian desert islands to New York nightclubs, from intellectually fashionable Paris cafes to campy flats in Chelsea Square. They're even in the War Room, and-my God!-they're already in outer space! James J. O'Meara, the Alt-Right's most provocative writer, uses his "paranoiac-critical" lens to reveal the method of Judaic culture-distortion-such as the youthful "girl-craziness" that conservatives think of as the "good old days" but was manufactured by Hollywood to undermine traditional forms of male friendship and social organizations (and start World War II)-while demonstrating that it just can't prevent the eternal return of the "Fascist Other" throughout our popular culture. The essays collected here, discussing pop culture icons from Kafka and Burroughs to Houllebecq, Halston and even the Green Lantern Corps, show that the defeat of the European Revolution of 1933 did not mean the end of White culture and Aryan tradition, which continue to gleam darkly beneath the glossy politically correct surface."

Download or read book Androphilia A Manifesto written by Jack Malebranche and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “...like a blowtorch to the forehead.” -- The Bay Area Reporter “...will soon be required reading for young homosexual men looking for an alternative to disco balls, rainbow flags and celebrity gossip.” -- Just Out, Portland “a straight-talking Drill Instructor for today’s gay generation, weaning them off pop divas and bear beauty pageants and licking them into a more manly, more self-reliant shape, ready to re-join the masculine fray.” -- Mark Simpson, British journalist who coined the term “metrosexual” “...let’s just agree to hate it...and leave it at that.” --Richard LaBonte, syndicated reviewer for gay newspapers nationwide The word gay has never described mere homosexuality. Gay is a subculture, a slur, a set of gestures, a slang, a look, a posture, a parade, a rainbow flag, a film genre, a taste in music, a hairstyle, a marketing demographic, a bumper sticker, a political agenda and philosophical viewpoint. Gay is a pre-packaged, superficial persona--a lifestyle. It's a sexual identity that has almost nothing to do with sexuality. Androphilia is a rejection of the overloaded gay identity and a return to a discussion of homosexuality in terms of desire. The gay sensibility is a near-oblivious embrace of a castrating slur, the nonstop celebration of an age-old, emasculating stigma applied to men who engaged in homosexual acts. Gays and radical queers imagine that they challenge the status quo, but in appropriating the stigma of effeminacy, they merely conform to and confirm long-established expectations. Homosexual men have been paradoxically cast as the enemies of masculinity--slaves to the feminist pipe dream of a 'gender-neutral' (read: anti-male, pro-female) world. Androphilia is a manifesto full of truly dangerous ideas: that men can have sex with men and retain their manhood, that homosexuality can be about championing a masculine ideal rather than attacking it, and that the “oppressive construct of masculinity” despised by the gay community could actually enrich and improve the lives of homosexual and bisexual men. Androphilia is for those men who never really bought what the gay community was selling. It is a challenge to leave the gay world completely behind and to rejoin the world of men, unapologetically, as androphliles, but more importantly, as men. The 2011 Scapegoat Publishing Kindle Edition includes a new Afterword by the author.
