Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Each and every one of her thorns is digging deeply into her skin, forcing blood to be drawn, but she would rather be a rose filled with thorns than a girl. A rose is at least guaranteed to bloom in the Sunshine and produce aromas that force people to stop and smell her air, appreciating her elegance. A girl, on the other hand, is guaranteed nothing beyond the thoughts of her own entrapped mind. A mind that wants to kill..." Struggling to find any glimpse of joy in her new marriage to an alcoholic cop, Juniper turns to razors for comfort--slitting her wrists in attempts to numb her bleeding heart whilst maintaining her illusion of control. She would rather escape her marriage with Maison by death than face the fear of what he would do to her, should she leave him, so she flirts with suicide frequently. That is, until she meets Reese: her only hope in the otherwise nightmare of living. He encourages her up and coming art gallery in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas, prompting her to paint inspirations of love, despite it stemming from a rose-colored love affair. But before Juniper's fanciful dreams of her happy ending can become a reality, Maison is assigned a new case involving drugs Downtown, further exacerbating his drinking problem and her self-mutilating tendencies. She looks to Reese for answers, but can his love alone save her, from her?
Download or read book Fruit of Knowledge written by Liv Stromquist and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Adam and Eve to pussy hats, people have punished, praised, pathologized, and politicized vulvas, vaginas, clitorises, and menstruation. In this graphic nonfiction book, drawn in chunky, punky pen, Swedish cartoonist Liv Strömquist traces how different cultures and traditions have shaped women’s health and beyond. Her biting, informed commentary and ponytailed avatar guides the reader from the darkest chapters of history (a clitoridectomy performed on a five-year-old American child as late as 1948) to the lightest (vulvas used as architectural details as a symbol of protection). Like humorists Julie Doucet (Dirty Plotte), Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For), and Kate Beaton (Hark! A Vagrant), she uses the comics medium to reveal uncomfortable truths about how far we haven’t come.

Book excerpt: This novel of a Mississippi family in the 1920s “presents the essence of the Deep South and does it with infinite finesse” (The Christian Science Monitor). From one of the most treasured American writers, winner of a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize, comes Delta Wedding, a vivid and charming portrait of Southern life. Set in 1923, the story is centered on the Fairchilds, a big and clamorous family, who live on a plantation in the Mississippi delta. They are in the midst of planning their daughter’s wedding when a nine-year-old relative, Laura McRaven, whose mother has just died, comes to visit. Drama leads to drama, revelation to revelation, in a novel that is “nothing short of wonderful” (The New Yorker). The result is a sometimes-riotous view of a Southern family, and the parentless child who learns to become one of them.
