Book excerpt: From the author of Lovecraft Country: Myth and reality collide on a college campus “in a comic fantasy of wonderful energy, invention, and generosity of spirit” (Alison Lurie). Stephen Titus George is a young writer-in-residence at Cornell University in upstate New York. A bestselling author in search of a new story, he sees his life as a modern-day fairy tale starring himself as a would-be knight trying to woo a lovely maiden—or, actually, two: the bewitching Calliope and his guiding light, Aurora Borealis Smith. But he’s not quite in control of the narrative. There’s another writer with even greater influence on campus. The unseen Mr. Sunshine is an eternal, semi-retired deity who’s been fashioning his own story for centuries. He has all his characters in place: dragons, sprites, gnomes, and villains. And now, finally, his hero. As Mr. Sunshine’s world comes to fabulous and violent life, how can Stephen decide his own fate if it’s already being plotted by a god? An epic of life and death, good and evil, love and sorcery, Fool on the Hill lands Matt Ruff happily on the shelf between Tom Robbins and J. R. R. Tolkien for every lover of the “funky and fantastical” (New York magazine). “Inspired . . . rich in flavorful language . . . [a] dazzling tour de force.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The plot comes together like a brilliant clockwork toy.” —Locus

Download or read book The Inside View written by Rangrao Bhongle and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present Volume Includes Critical And Insightful Essays On Native Responses To Contemporary Indian English Novel. Nativism As An Ideology Cannot Be Accepted In Toto In The Indian Context, As There Are Several Paradoxical And Self-Contradictory Factors Operating Within The Indian Social Structure. The Nativist Approach To Indian English Literature Cannot Be An Effective Device To Assess The Genre. To Be Carried Away By The Waves Of The Western Thought Would Also Be Equally Ridiculous. Therefore, To Understand The Not So New Phenomenon Now, Dispassionate And Objective Criteria Has To Be Evolved. The Essays In This Volume Endeavour To Reach Out To The Indian English Novel With As Much Objective Understanding Of The Discipline As Necessary. The Title Of The Book Indicates Native Responses, Not Nativist, Because There Is No Theory Involved, Or Any Permanent Set Of Values To Be Adopted For Evaluating Indian English Novel. Nevertheless, The Essays Included In The Volume Are Meant To Clear The Web Of Misunderstanding Created By Nativism And Cosmopolitanism Together And Find A Way Out To Better Understanding And Appreciation Of Contemporary Indian English Novel.It Is Hoped That The Volume Will Be Of Immense Use To The Common Reader As Well As To The Serious Critics Of Contemporary Indian English Novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A terrifying fog and a brutal murder are quite the case for an American anatomist in this historical mystery for fans of Caleb Carr. In 1783, a man staggers out of his cottage into the streets of Oxfordshire, shattering an otherwise peaceful evening with the terrible sight of his body shaking and heaving, eyes wild with horror. Many of the villagers believe the Devil himself has entered Joseph Makepeace, the latest victim of a “great fog” that darkens the skies over England like a Biblical plague. When Joseph’s son and daughter are found murdered—heads bashed in by a shovel—the town’s worst suspicions are confirmed: Evil is abroad and needs to be banished. A brilliant man of science, Dr. Thomas Silkstone is not one to heed superstition. But when he arrives at the estate of the lovely widow Lady Lydia Farrell, he finds that it’s not just her grain and livestock at risk. A shroud of mystery surrounds Lydia’s lost child, who may still be alive in a workhouse. A natural disaster fills the skies with smoke and ash, clogging the lungs of all who breathe it in. And the grisly details of a father’s crime compel Dr. Silkstone to look for answers beyond his medical books—between the Devil and the deep blue sea… Praise for The Devil’s Breath “Excellent…. Both literally and figuratively atmospheric, this will appeal to fans of Imogen Robertson’s series set during the same period.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review “A fascinating series…Harris is at her vivid best describing in precise, fearsome detail the “Great Fogg.””—The New York Times Book Review
