Book excerpt: "Devin Yorke may look the part - she's young, gorgeous, and married to one of L.A.'s most desirable and powerful men - Paul Bradshaw, founder and owner of L.A. Garb, the largest clothes manufacturer in the country. Yet while she does add luster to the image of any man lucky enough to have her arm draped around his own, Devin Yorke is not a woman who fits the bill of Trophy Wife. She is a nineties woman who's got the brains to match her beauty, and the drive and ambition to rival any man - even her powerhouse husband. And now the lovely young Devin is at the end of her rope, tormented by her husband's coldness and infuriated by his arrogance and monumental ego." "On the very same day that Devin decides she can bear it no longer, Paul turns up dead. Her husband's recent decision to base his hot, new apparel division in South Central to help rebuild that riot-torn sector of Los Angeles had made his reputation soar to heroic proportions. But while the public grieves his loss, those close to him stand only to gain from his demise, making the list of suspects remarkably full. Sam, Paul's ne'er-do-well brother, is in line to inherit the business. His sex-pot assistant and former mistress, Alex, gets to hold onto her job - and maybe much more. There's a whole slew of scorned lovers, including tossed-aside ex-wife Rosemary, who have long harbored dreams of revenge. There's also a group of employees who are fed up with being cheated and have possibly been pushed aside one time too many; and, of course, there is his widow, Devin, who has the most to gain, and becomes the main murder suspect."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Venus in the Dark written by Janell Hobson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second edition of the remarkable, and now classic, cultural history of black women’s beauty, Venus in the Dark, Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the "Hottentot Venus" and the history of critical and artistic responses to her by black women in contemporary photography, film, literature, music, and dance. In 1810, Sara Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe, where she was put on display at circuses, salons, museums, and universities as the "Hottentot Venus." The subsequent legacy of representations of black women’s sexuality—from Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videos—refer back to her iconic image. Via a new preface, Hobson argues for the continuing influence of Baartman’s legacy, as her image still reverberates through the contemporary marketization of black women’s bodies, from popular music and pornography to advertising. A brand new chapter explores how historical echoes from previous eras map onto highly visible bodies in the twenty-first century. It analyzes fetishistic spectacles of the black "booty," with particular emphasis on the role of Beyoncé Knowles in the popularization of the "bootylicious" body, and the counter-aesthetic the singer has gone on to advance for black women’s bodies and beauty politics. By studying the imagery of the "Hottentot Venus," from the nineteenth century to now, readers are invited to confront the racial and sexual objectification and embodied resistance that make up a significant part of black women’s experience.

Book excerpt: Catching a killer is dangerous—especially if he lives next door From the hugely talented author of The Kind Worth Killing comes an exquisitely chilling tale of a young suburban wife with a history of psychological instability whose fears about her new neighbor could lead them both to murder . . . Hen and her husband Lloyd have settled into a quiet life in a new house outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Hen (short for Henrietta) is an illustrator and works out of a studio nearby, and has found the right meds to control her bipolar disorder. Finally, she’s found some stability and peace. But when they meet the neighbors next door, that calm begins to erode as she spots a familiar object displayed on the husband’s office shelf. The sports trophy looks exactly like one that went missing from the home of a young man who was killed two years ago. Hen knows because she’s long had a fascination with this unsolved murder—an obsession she doesn’t talk about anymore, but can’t fully shake either. Could her neighbor, Matthew, be a killer? Or is this the beginning of another psychotic episode like the one she suffered back in college, when she became so consumed with proving a fellow student guilty that she ended up hurting a classmate? The more Hen observes Matthew, the more she suspects he’s planning something truly terrifying. Yet no one will believe her. Then one night, when she comes face to face with Matthew in a dark parking lot, she realizes that he knows she’s been watching him, that she’s really on to him. And that this is the beginning of a horrifying nightmare she may not live to escape. . .
