Book excerpt: They say three's the charm. But charming isn't Val's style. Val Fremden is a lot of things. Quirky. Jaded. Disaster prone. But more than anything, she's afraid of commitment. When boyfriend Tom tells her he loves her - then trades her mom's ashes away for a tiki hut - Val's just not feelin' it. On the warpath with Tom, Val's forced to rely on her oddball friends to help track down her mom's cremains. But three botched stakeouts and two disasters later, she still hasn't got peanuts. Through trial (but mostly error), Val discovers it's not easy to outwit a mobile master of disguise when she's stuck driving a paddy wagon full of nutcases. She loves Tom...she loves him not. Knowing Val, she's gonna need a bigger flower.... Three Dumb is a satirical look at how life, over time, changes our perception of love and the things we value. It's told through the eyes of a snarky, middle-aged woman with legendary commitment issues and a gnawing reluctance toward romance. If you like deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you'll love Three Dumb. It's the fourth book in Margaret Lashley's hilarious, irreverent Val & Pals Series of seriously funny women's fiction.

Download or read book In Search of the Culprit written by Lukas Rösli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite various poststructuralist rejections of the idea of a singular author-genius, the question of a textual archetype that can be assigned to a named author is still a common scholarly phantasm. The Romantic idea that an author created a text or even a work autonomously is transferred even to pre-modern literature today. This ignores the fact that the transmission of medieval and early modern literature creates variances that could not be justified by means of singular authorships. The present volume offers new theoretical approaches from English, German, and Scandinavian studies to provide a historically more adequate approach to the question of authorship in premodern literary cultures. Authorship is no longer equated with an extra-textual entity, but is instead considered a narratological, inner- and intertextual function that can be recognized in the retrospectively established beginnings of literature as well as in the medial transformation of texts during the early days of printing. The volume is aimed at interested scholars of all philologies, especially those dealing with the Middle Ages or Early Modern Period.
