Book Description
John Howell's first novel, The Goddess Patrol, earned raves, such as: "Howell must have had a riot writing this The writing is imaginative and funny The plot alone will keep you going But the real meat of the book is in the sensitive psychological processes by which several characters, who have been ground lean by hardships, fight to burst out into the light."-Thousand Islands Sun Naked brings more characters fighting to the light-A Cuban doctor, his daughter back home on a mission, a banker with a secret, a psychologist with a secret, adolescent bullies and victim, a surly police chief and a church full of fundamentalists praying for the Second Coming but wanting to recant when Jesus arrives with an AK-47.

Kubrick, New and Expanded Edition
Author: Thomas Allen Nelson
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253213907
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the "aesthetics of contingency." After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining. For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director's death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into—and out of—Stanley Kubrick's cinematic maze.

Pages : 305
Book Description
The “reigning master of hard-edge science fiction takes a chilling look at the plausible near-future” in this cyberpunk sequel to Queen of Angels (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). In the second half of the twenty-first century, nanotechnology has transformed every aspect of society. Humans can now change their abilities, their appearance, their very bodies on microscopic level. Advanced psychotherapy seems to have wiped away violence and illness. The world is sane and in balance. However, that balance teeters with the grisly murder of two prostitutes and a series of suicides. Soon, public defender Mary Cho’s investigation finds a dark danger lurking in the recesses of the “dataflow.” Entertainment, virtual pornography, neo-Luddite separatists, an unknown artificial intelligence—everything seems to be intertwined in a vast conspiracy. As technology fails so too does the society perched high atop it. Perfection is a high pedestal from which to fall.
