Book excerpt: There is something about Lux. He’s a thief and a liar; he is selfish and self-absorbed and hopelessly vain. But while he looks like Lana Turner and romances like a true Casanova, Lux is actually more like a bumbling, oblivious Mary Tyler Moore. Amid shouting mobs, police shields, and the hurled bricks of the ’80s Brixton riots, Lux is searching for Pearl—the love of his life. Her home has been burned down by a stray petrol bomb, and she’s searching for sanctuary along with her friend Nicky. Nicky is traumatized after having killed her computer—her best friend—and is herself being followed by Happy Science PLC. It is their plan to breed a superior next generation by implanting the sperm of genius men inside beautiful women. She knows too much about the plan. Lux is helped in his quest by Kalia, a castaway of Heaven attempting to get back in God’s good graces by performing one million good deeds over countless lifetimes. There’s also a thrash metal band, a riot-party, past lives, and KY. Lots of KY.

Download or read book Rich and Strange written by Marianne DeKoven and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1991-10-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the products of the "sea-change" described in Ariel's song in The Tempest, modernist writing is "rich and strange." Its greatness lies in its density and its dislocations, which have until now been viewed as a repudiation of and an alternative to the cultural implications of turn-of-the-century political radicalism. Marianne DeKoven argues powerfully to the contrary, maintaining that modernist form evolved precisely as a means of representing the terrifying appeal of movements such as socialism and feminism. Organized around pairs and groups of female-and male-signed texts, the book reveals the gender-inflected ambivalence of modernist writers. Male modernists, desiring utter change, nevertheless feared the loss of hegemony it might entail, while female modernists feared punishment for desiring such change. With water imagery as a focus throughout, DeKoven provides extensive new readings of canonical modernist texts and of works in the feminist and African-American canons not previously considered modernist. Building on insights of Luce Irigaray, Klaus Theweleit, and Jacques Derrida, she finds in modernism a paradigm of unresolved contradiction that enacts in the realm of form an alternative to patriarchal gender relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a place known as the Thirteenth Realm, Cratox the Conqueror rises to power, claiming victory over all who oppose him. Leaving a relentless path of destruction, the warrior destroys kingdom by kingdom until the entire eastern hemisphere of the Thirteenth Realm had been engulfed. Then he sets his sights on the western frontier, separated from him by a dangerous ocean. Cratox believes that taking over that land will make him an unstoppable ruler. He sends his two best scouts, Demlin and Dalock, to survey the land and report back to him. And it is there that Cratox finds his ultimate test: three celestial warlocks named Lucor, Nimex, and Maltec. Having anticipated the warlord’s movements for centuries, the three celestial beings capture both scouts and offer one of them a deal that he cannot refuse—and returning the other as a gruesome warning. Cratox plans a surprise of his own in return, but only time will tell whether this battle will be more than he is prepared to face. In this fantasy novel, a warlord setting out to conquer his world finds himself facing an unexpected challenge in the form of three powerful warlocks.
