Andrea Machen has always been true to her parents' traditional Italian values. She has no idea what things her husband has done in his quest for success as a potter, and in his exploration of the ancient Greek gods with whom he identifies. When he disappears one morning, Andrea's whole life is turned upside down. As other potters and assistants in the Los Angeles area begin to turn up dead, it becomes obvious that no one who knew or associated with Nicholas is safe. She must journey into the hidden life of her husband, all the while, guarding her own life, in order to discover the force behind the deaths of the people she cares about.

The Unmaking of Fascist Aesthetics
Author: Kriss Ravetto
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816637430
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
In works by filmmakers from Bertolucci to Spielberg, debauched images of nazi and fascist eroticism, symbols of violence and immorality, often bear an uncanny resemblance to the images and symbols once used by the fascists themselves to demarcate racial, sexual, and political others. This book exposes the "madness" inherent in such a course, which attests to the impossibility of disengaging visual and rhetorical constructions from political, ideological, and moral codes. Kriss Ravetto argues that contemporary discourses using such devices actually continue unacknowledged rhetorical, moral, and visual analogies of the past. Against postwar fictional and historical accounts of World War II in which generic images of evil characterize the nazi and the fascist, Ravetto sets the more complex approach of such filmmakers as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Liliana Cavani, and Lina Wertmuller. Her book asks us to think deeply about what it means to say that we have conquered fascism, when the aesthetics of fascism still describe and determine how we look at political figures and global events. Book jacket.

River Teeth
Author: David James Duncan
Publisher: Dial Press
ISBN: 0440336511
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In his passionate, luminous novels, David James Duncan has won the devotion of countless critics and readers, earning comparisons to Harper Lee, Tom Robbins, and J.D. Salinger, to name just a few. Now Duncan distills his remarkable powers of observation into this unique collection of short stories and essays. At the heart of Duncan's tales are characters undergoing the complex and violent process of transformation, with results both painful and wondrous. Equally affecting are his nonfiction reminiscences, the "river teeth" of the title. He likens his memories to the remains of old-growth trees that fall into Northwestern rivers and are sculpted by time and water. These experiences—shaped by his own river of time—are related with the art and grace of a master storyteller. In River Teeth, a uniquely gifted American writer blends two forms, taking us into the rivers of truth and make-believe, and all that lies in between.
