Though they looked like her and her daddy, smooth dark skin, jet black hair, big brown eyes and full lips, they seemed alien to her. Different somehow. Menacing. Scary. Even the language they used was unfamiliar and threatening, augmented by their curiously childish actions. On their first Friday together in a long time, her daddy had taken her to the laundry mat to get the tedious chore out of the way, so they could have the rest of the weekend to themselves. They’d planned movies, games, and pizza at Chuck E. Cheese. But before he’d even scooped the first load of dirty clothes out of the hamper, only a few feet away, a fight broke out between several adults, a confrontation that had immediately put her and her daddy on edge. Even at eleven-years-old, she could see the pointlessness of the fight. There were several machines throughout the room that weren’t being used. Why were these people getting so angry over one of them? It made no sense to her, and their dramatically over-the-top reactions were scary. Her daddy took a stance between her and the fighting people, but she could still clearly see them, their antics were not contained to one small space, and very clearly hear every single vulgarity they shouted. There was a security guard, but he was a tiny old man with hunched shoulders and he looked as frightened and confused as she was. He stood in the middle of the fray, eyes wide, looking about for some sort of help, but no other customers dared get involved. Some had to stay, laundry in mid-cycle, but many hurriedly gathered their things and got out of there as fast as they could. Gerdie didn’t blame them at all. She wanted to leave too, but in order to do so, she and her daddy would have to traipse right through the middle of the fight, a risky move she had no interest in doing. From the looks of things, her daddy was hesitant on doing that too, and she couldn’t blame him, not one bit. “Get behind me, little songbird.” Her daddy backed up and put his arms out to shield her even more as fists began to be thrown amidst louder screams and even more offensive expletives.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915
    Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair Paul Berger Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2015 Kimberly E. Hereford ii University of Washington Abstract Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History This dissertation examines representations in art of the Victorian woman in “altered states.” Though characterized in Victorian art in a number of ways, women are most commonly stereotyped as physically listless and mentally vacuous. The images examined show the Victorian female in a languid and at times reclining or supine pose in these representations. In addition, her demeanor implies both emotional and physical depletion, and there is both a pronounced abandonment of the physical and a collapsing effect, as if all mental faculties are withdrawing inward. Each chapter is dedicated to examining one of these distinct but interrelated types of femininity that flourished throughout British and American art from c. 1850 to c. 1910. The chapters for this dissertation are organized sequentially to demonstrate a selected progression of various states of consciousness, from the most obvious (the sleeping woman) to iii the more nuanced (the female Aesthete and the female medium). In each chapter, there is the visual perception of the Victorian woman as having access to otherworldly conditions of one form or another.
