Download or read book In Your Face written by Lia Mills and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 2006, Lia Mills went to the dentist, worried about a painful lump in her cheek. In Your Face is her account of what happened next: a diagnosis of oral cancer; surgery to remove the tumour and reconstruct her jaw; a broken leg that came about as a result of a bone graft and that went undiagnosed for several weeks; radiotherapy and resulting illness; and, finally, recovery. Based on the journals she kept even when she was feeling her worst, In Your Face gives an extraordinary day-by-day account of what Lia went through. It also observes more beauty and comedy in the world than most of us notice even when we're feeling our best. It is not so much a book about cancer as a book about life. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand illness and recovery, fear and hope and love. 'A life-changing book for me' Anne Enright, winner of the Man Booker Prize 2007 'The bravery and love and zest for experience displayd by Lia Mills, and encountered by her, in the darkest depths of her illness, make this exceptional book a gift of life' Nuala O'Faolain 'An uplifting story of survival' Irish Independent
Download or read book Game of Thrones as a Contemporary Feminist Revenge Tragedy written by Lea M. Peters and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is common knowledge that the television series Game of Thrones and revenge go together well, but whether Game of Thrones and feminism are compatible is debatable, to say the least. This book shows how the series’ female characters in particular utilise revenge to acquire autonomy, fight objectification, and pursue equality. On the one hand, they do so by mirroring the female characters of English Renaissance Revenge Tragedies. On the other, prevailing feminist ideas of the 21st century are also incorporated. The resulting tension between models from the Renaissance and current feminist impulses allows for an interpretation of Game of Thrones as a contemporary, feminist version of a Revenge Tragedy. Thus, this book discusses gender, equality, and representation, problematising the heteronormative, binary perspective so commonly given on the series. As such, the book is for everyone interested in popular culture and its influences and developments, both fans and critics of the show, feminists, and those who aspire to educate themselves.
