A fixture in 1740s Parisian society, Saint-Germain is a perfect gentleman-and a vampire. The classic tale that introduced the legendary Le Comte de Saint-Germain, first published in 1978 and spawning 14 titles in the Saint-Germain epic, is now available in paperback.

Sphinx by anne garréta7/6/2023 ![]() Garr�ta is the first member of the Oulipo to be born after the founding of the Oulipo. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.Īnne F. Sphinx is a landmark text in the feminist, LGBT, and experimental literary canons appearing in English for the first time. Sphinx is the remarkable debut novel, originally published in 1986, by the incredibly talented and inventive French author Anne Garr�ta, one of the few female members of Oulipo, the influential and exclusive French experimental literary group whose mission is to create literature based on mathematical and linguistic restraints, and whose ranks include Georges Perec and Italo Calvino, among others.Ī beautiful and complex love story between two characters, the narrator, "I," and their lover, A***, written without using any gender markers to refer to the main characters, Sphinx is a remarkable linguistic feat and paragon of experimental literature that has never been accomplished before or since in the strictly-gendered French language.

In these eight piercing explorations on beauty, media, money, and more, Tressie McMillan Cottom - award-winning professor and acclaimed author of Lower Ed - embraces her venerated role as a purveyor of wit, wisdom, and Black Twitter snark about all that is right and much that is wrong with this thing we call society. ![]() Smart, humorous, and strikingly original essays by one of "America's most bracing thinkers on race, gender, and capitalism of our time" (Rebecca Traister) ![]() Anne bishop wild country7/6/2023 ![]() People were running to anyplace they thought could provide safety, thinking that the larger cities were less vulnerable to what the Others could do. Cities had been destroyed or were no longer under human control. Instead of gaining anything from the war, humans had lost ground-literally. ![]() They had smashed and torn that harsh truth into humans around the world, and only fools or the blindly optimistic thought there was any chance of things going back to the way they had been before the Humans First and Last movement had started the war against the terra indigene here in Thaisia and in Cel-Romano on the other side of the Atlantik Ocean. Cities couldn’t afford to waste land on the dead when the living needed every acre that they were grudgingly permitted to lease from the terra indigene who ruled the continent. There were no cemeteries on the continent of Thaisia, no individual gravestones, no family mausoleums unless you were very rich. ![]() Jana Paniccia followed the gravel paths through the memorial park. ![]() Joothan om prakash valmiki7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In Joothan, Omprakash Valmiki deals with the issue of humiliation meted out to the Dalits by Indian society, no matter where they lived. These works have been translated into other Indian languages and English to spread awareness across the country, and sometimes, build solidarities across languages and regions. ![]() It is through the autobiographical writings of the first-generation Dalit writers that readers in Marathi, Tamil, and Hindi have become aware of what a Dalit’s life was/is really like in independent India. Autobiographical writings constitute a significant subgenre of Dalit literature, conveying the firsthand, raw experience of the writers who were, themselves, subjected to the scorn and contempt of the people who had no other qualities or distinctions in life except that they were born into upper-caste families. In recent years, a vibrant field of Dalit literature has appeared in India, and some works are beginning to be translated into English. “Dalit” is the term used to describe the nearly 180 million Indians who were placed at the bottom of the traditional caste system. ![]() In that Country the laws of religion, the laws of the land, and the laws of honour, are all united and consolidated in one, and bind a man eternally to the rules of what is called his caste.-Edmund Burke New York: Columbia University Press, 2008. ![]() Doc Susie by Virginia Cornell7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() The main setting for my novels, the mining town of Morgan’s Crossing, Montana Territory, was first invented by Debra. ![]() Debra Holland for inspiration, for making my novels better by her suggestions, and for the opportunity to write a book set in the world she established through her best-selling Montana Sky series.
