Beginning with a candid memoir that credits the mentors whose disconcerting insights prompted him to upend existing scholarly approaches, Briggs combines his childhood experiences in New Mexico with his work in graduate school, his ethnography in Venezuela working with Indigenous peoples, and his contemporary work-which is heavily weighted in medical folklore. Briggs argues, through an expansive look back at his own influential works as well as critical readings of the field, that scholars can disrupt existing social and discourse theories across disciplines when they collaborate with theorists whose insights are not constrained by the bounds of scholarship.Įschewing narrow Eurocentric modes of explanation and research foci, Briggs brings together colonialism, health, media, and psychoanalysis to rethink classic work on poetics and performance that revolutionized linguistic anthropology, folkloristics, media studies, communication, and other fields.

(In Cracean time a millennium here or there is not significant.) America, for reasons that appear to include major seismic shifts leading to the plague, has collapsed into a chaotic dark age, in which robber bands, bizarre millenarian religious sects, nomads, hunters and foragers of all sorts are found. In his latest novel, The Pesthouse, Crace has imagined a dystopian America, perhaps 500, perhaps 1,000 years hence. Characters are often seen in a landscape, and they are not necessarily privileged by being human. Instead his settings range from the Stone Age to the English coast and the Judaean desert around Qumran. Crace is not a writer of the moment he is not a realist writer nor a writer looking for the witty aperçu about contemporary society, although his books contain allegorical references to the present. The people in his books are often the subjects of these forces, their lives and struggles the background to an unending and strangely lyrical but implacable play of forces beyond their control. He is the poet of detail, the laureate of the mineral, the bacterial and the gaseous. With mere months to go before landing on the long-promised planet, Terra has to make the decision of a lifetime–one that will determine the fate of her people. As she’s drawn into a secret rebellion determined to restore power to the people, Terra discovers that her choices may determine life or death for the people she cares most about. At sixteen, working a job that doesn’t interest her, and living with a grieving father who only notices her when he’s yelling, Terra is sure that there has to be more to life than what she’s got.īut when she inadvertently witnesses the captain’s guard murdering an innocent man, Terra is suddenly thrust into the dark world beneath her ship’s idyllic surface. Terra has never known anything but life aboard the Asherah, a city-within-a-spaceship that left Earth five hundred years ago in search of refuge.

I hope, however, that this inspired choice and the editorial decision of the subtitle, “A Saudi Woman’s Awakening,” with its suggestion that Saudi women are the only ones in need of a wake-up call, does not lead readers to smugness and the feeling that all is right in the Western world.Īl-Sharif gazes at us from the book’s cover in quiet confidence, her face a record of earlier triumphs. We are certainly indebted to her agents from our tabloid tell-all culture who gently but firmly told her she needed to instead tell a personal story. We are told in the acknowledgements that al-Sharif’s first inclination, coming from a “private culture” as she does, was to present a dry, technical history of the Women2Drive movement. This act of rebellion and the time she spent in horrific conditions in jail without trial for “driving while female” form the climax of Daring to Drive, which is written in a simple, straightforward style that is compelling because of it. Manal al-Sharif separated herself from the nameless masses of Middle Eastern women we in the West imagine to be oppressed - and stupid and soulless because of it - in 2011 when she spearheaded a social-media movement urging Saudi women to defy convention and drive, their own sort of Arab Spring. He's drawn to her bravery, seduced by her feisty spirit and beauty, but he is determined to resist her, fearing he will put her in harms way. Despite knowing this all too well, having painfully loved and lost in his past, when his search for the creator of Blood Red places coroner Kelly Riggs directly in both his path, and that of a dangerous clan of vampires, his desire for her goes well beyond offering her protection. Vampire Warden, Aiden Brooks, has spent more than a hundred years enforcing the laws of his race, and life has taught him that anyone that he allows into his world ends up dead. Blood Red creates an insatiable desire for sex in the user to the point of pain in the absence of pleasure. The underground vampire population of Austin, Texas has taken to hosting orgies with human women who've been forced to indulge in a new aphrodisiac.The drug, Blood Red, is a mixture of a rare type of werewolf blood and that of a vampire. Reading out of order will not hurt the enjoyment of the story.Įxplicit - hot! Ménage included – you have been warned. Hot Vampire Seduction is the second book in a hot, erotic vampire series, but stands alone as its own story. |
