Eliza Waters is most famous for her book Tammyland, a “honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love” that is all about Tammy Wynett. When Eliza dies in a drug store shooting, everyone thinks it is a tragically botched mugging. Jen, Eliza’s best friend from college, had no reason to suspect foul play until she becomes Eliza’s literary executor. The manuscript Eliza was working on most recently is about an old child abuse case. The more Jen reads, the more sinister things become. From beyond the grave, Eliza’s writing opens up a different world to Jen. Eliza’s death seems suspicious and Jen soon finds herself in danger as well.

While walking near a forest with the boys in her care she discovers a dark alternate world called The Ending, the place for things that cannot die. They encounter the deceased mother of the two boys, who has been waiting to pick up where she left off in the ominous House of Darkling—a wondrous, dangerous placed filled with enchantment, mystery and strange creatures that appear to be, but are not quite, human. They secretly visit the House of Darkling repeatedly until the two boys are trapped inside with their mother.

The publisher describes it as THE BIG SLEEP meets ANIMAL FARM, and, frankly, we can’t do better than that.” —Starred Booklist review for AMBERVILLE Tim Davys leaves the best for the last in Yok, the fourth and final novel from the Mollisan Town quartet that is sure to live on as an iconic literary adventure. In this final installment a handsome fox attempts to woo his true love; a gecko attempts to break out from under his abusive brothers; a chimpanzee dreams to write a successful song; and a hare contemplates the meaning of life. In Mollisan Town, these four live in Yok, a seedy neighborhood where it seems no stuffed animal has the ability to breakout and live according to their own wants and needs. They are trapped by ignorance, poverty, mediocrity, and their own insecurities. But for Antonio Ortega Fox, Erik Gecko, Mike Chimpanze, and Vincent Hare, there is still a glimmer of hope, a chance that they can overcome their circumstances and have the freedom to achieve their separate dreams. As with his first three books— AMBERVILLE, LANCEHEIM, and TOURQUAI, Davys vividly brings to life Mollisan Town, the alternate world populated by stuffed animals, and answers the question: Is it possible to be free or does destiny control all?

A nurse stops by the offices of Homicide South in Manhattan to report the confession of Gus Henderson, her elderly Alzheimer’s patient, a former junkie and petty criminal, who claims he murdered and buried a man in a park off Avenue B seventeen years ago. All signs point toward the man’s partner in crime as the victim—he’s been off the grid for exactly seventeen years. After threats from the presumed victim’s mother, the city reluctantly agrees to excavate the community garden where Henderson claimed to have buried the body. But it’s not her son they find buried beneath the willow tree. What they find is the skeleton of a ten-year-old boy, neatly dressed and buried ceremoniously with a comic book, a cd, some pot, and booze. O’Hara dives headlong into the city’s dark underbelly and is about to uncover a hidden, dangerous world of lost boys and girls. Peter de Jonge is the author of SHADOWS STILL REMAIN (2009), a Washington Post Book of the Year, and co-author, with James Patterson, of three books: Miracle on the 17th Green (Little, Brown, 1996), and the #1 New York Times bestsellers Beach Road (Little, Brown, 2003) and The Beach House (Little, Brown, 2006). He worked as a reporter at the Associated Press, and has been a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine since 1986. His writing has appeared in Best American Sports Writing, National Geographic, New York magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Details, and Manhattan, Inc.

Following the horrific conclusion of events in THE FALL, Nuclear Winter blankets the land, darkening the Earth but for one hour of sunlight each day.

Carrying out extensive research, the researcher highlights the positive outcome of Žižek’s “subjective violence”, “objective violence”, and “systemic violence” (Violence 2) in Oates’ Blonde, Black Water and Rape: A love story.This article argues that the common meaning of violence which according to Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is “actions or words are intended to hurt people” is not holistically true about the violence portrayed by Oates in her fiction. She depicts that the violence can save one’s life. The reserach presents the idea that outcome of violence can be a means of success in Oates’ stories. Oates’ optimistic view toward violence and positive effects of violence in the life oppressed characters are presented in this article. The writer of this article has made an attempt to attest positive aftermath of violence and to highlight different sorts of violence in Oates’ fiction by referring to aforementioned Žižek’s ideas on violence.

Publications from the Section for Sociology of Literature at the Department of Literature, Uppsala University, 38. 272 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-85178-28-4. English text. This dissertation deals with the Canadian category publisher Harlequin Enterprises. Operating in a hundred markets and publishing in twenty-four languages around the world, Harlequin Enterprises exempliıes the increasingly transnational character of publishing and the media. This book takes the Stockholm-based Scandinavian subsidiary Förlaget Harlequin as a case-study to analyze the complexities involved in the transposition of Harlequin romances from one cultural context into another. Using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches it is argued that the local process of translation and editing – here referred to as transediting – has a fundamental impact on how the global book becomes local.
  • Jimmy Carter: a Moral Hero (Student Essay)

    Jimmy Carter: a Moral Hero (Student Essay)

    Jimmy Carter: A Moral Hero (Student Essay) Danny Haidar (Utica Academy for International Studies) Abstract. Following the end of Jimmy Carter’s first and only term as President of the United States, historians scrambled to put his presidency in the proper context. More than thirty years later, Carter has become associated with failed presidencies. To be compared to him is to be insulted. Even so, Jimmy Carter has had one of the most prolific, philanthropic post-presidential lives of any former American president. This is inconsistent with the image of his single term in office that the media has painted—a good man should have been a good president. To better understand this irony, this investigation shall seek to answer the following question: how did Jimmy Carter’s pre-presidential experiences affect his leadership as President of the United States of America (1977-1981)? This article will draw on apolitical, supportive and critical accounts of Carter’s presidency, as well as Carter’s own accounts of his beliefs and childhood experiences. While historians interpret Carter’s life events differently, each interpretation reveals important influences on Carter’s leadership in the White House. I will argue that Carter held too tightly to his morals to be suited to presidency. Carter’s childhood and pre-presidential political experiences created a man who was, indeed, unfit for the White House. The problem was less with his political vision than it was with his execution of that vision. Carter’s tragic presidential tale serves as a reminder that moral malleability is a necessity in the highest office of a government.

    Art and Terror in Daniel Silva's Spy Novel the Kill Artist

    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, August 2020, Vol. 10, No. 8, 676-681 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2020.08.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Art and Terror in Daniel Silva’s Spy Novel The Kill Artist Maria Antónia Lima University of Évora, Évora, Portugal; University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, Lisbon, Portugal The importance of Daniel Silva’s past, close to a Portuguese cultural environment, will be relevant to understand the psychological profile of his popular protagonist and central character, Gabriel Allon, a melancholic man haunted by his past, but also someone who is a gifted art restorer, very sensitive to the values of loyalty and fidelity, which the author assumed to have inherited from his Portuguese family. Being a spy and an art expert, Allon seems to conciliate two contradictory sides of the human personality. The connection between Portuguese and American culture, in this writer’s background, could have been responsible for the creation of a character who can be, at the same time, very sensitive and very violent; an assassin who is an Israeli secret agent and the world’s finest restorer of the Old Masters’ paintings. A perfect double who does justice to his creator’s double origin, which contributed to the success of The Kill Artist (2000), where terror is practiced as one of the fine arts by a hero very loyal and faithful to his complex cultural origins, living in a diaspora as the eternal wandering Jew. Keywords: Daniel Silva, art; terror, spy novel With more than 50 thousand books sold in Portugal, the bestseller writer Daniel Silva, an American Jew educated and raised by a Portuguese catholic family from Azores, is nowadays among the best of the youngest American spy novelists in the rankings of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other important American newspapers.
