Book excerpt: Deedra Masefield has the reputation of being a tough investigative reporter, though if the truth be known to the public, she's a gal who has suffered rejection and emotional pain, who cries into her pillow in the depths of night, and allows only her tough image to show. In this mystery, Deedra is sent by her newspaper's editor to a small town in northern California to learn why a famous movie actress remains strangely out of touch with friends and Hollywood. Her last known address was a place called Anthea Abbey where her eccentric/inventor husband, Ricardo Embustero, state that "he could invent without disturbing near neighbors, and where Sharlee could have a castle of her own." However, if Sharlee Devon has a castle, it appears that she is captive there. A newspaper delivery boy disappears after reporting the finding of a note thrown out of an upstairs window of the old abbey by Sharlee. There are rumors in town about a ghost-nun and a huge mutant boy, and townsfolk avoid the area. Deedra visits the abbey where she unexpectedly meets, Hannah, a tall person with an elongated nose and a perpetual post-nasal drip. Hannah wears full-length black dresses reminiscent of the nuns of a by-gone age, and gives the impression that she is Ricardo's sister. Deedra's man and colleague, Deke Thomas, arrives to help, then Deedra recalls that he and Sharlee Devon were once lovers. Again she is smote with the fact that Deke is not the marrying kind, and renews her vow to hunt for "Mr. Right." When at last Deedra rescues Sharlee Devon, and earns that front-page story, her pillow is the only witness of her not-so-tough image.

Book excerpt: "Amy Irvine implores us to trade in our solitude for solidarity, to recognize ourselves in each other and in the places we love, so that we might come together to save them." —PAM HOUSTON As Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness turns fifty, its iconic author, who has inspired generations of rebel-rousing advocacy on behalf of the American West, is due for a tribute as well as a talking to. In Desert Cabal: A New Season in the Wilderness, Amy Irvine admires the man who influenced her life and work while challenging all that is dated—offensive, even—between the covers of Abbey’s environmental classic. From Abbey’s quiet notion of solitude to Irvine’s roaring cabal, the desert just got hotter, and its defenders more nuanced and numerous.

Download or read book Anglophilia written by Elisa Tamarkin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-11-15 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglophilia charts the phenomenon of the love of Britain that emerged after the Revolution and remains in the character of U.S. society and class, the style of academic life, and the idea of American intellectualism. But as Tamarkin shows, this Anglophilia was more than just an elite nostalgia; it was popular devotion that made reverence for British tradition instrumental to the psychological innovations of democracy. Anglophilia spoke to fantasies of cultural belonging, polite sociability, and, finally, deference itself as an affective practice within egalitarian politics. Tamarkin traces the wide-ranging effects of anglophilia on American literature, art and intellectual life in the early nineteenth century, as well as its influence in arguments against slavery, in the politics of Union, and in the dialectics of liberty and loyalty before the civil war. By working beyond narratives of British influence, Tamarkin highlights a more intricate culture of American response, one that included Whig elites, college students, radical democrats, urban immigrants, and African Americans. Ultimately, Anglophila argues that that the love of Britain was not simply a fetish or form of shame-a release from the burdens of American culture-but an anachronistic structure of attachement in which U.S. Identity was lived in other languages of national expression.
