Pages : 145
Book Description
As the living deity of the Karmic Penance faith, Jozie Carmichael is worshipped by its followers. To the Zodiac Enforcement Agency, she’s a Fallen, her magic too red to be anything other than evil. As a god, her will is supreme and she won’t apologize for it. Beau Winchester is a ZEA agent hellbent on catching Jozie Carmichael, an insane cult leader. She snubs morals and laws, and any practical decency, which is dangerous in the hands of a Zodiac wielder. Especially since her selfish agendas leave a trail of anguish in her aftermath. Then he gets lucky and collars her, discovering the Amulet of Time in her possession. But when it’s stolen from lockup, he must face the implausible idea that Jozie may not be the most imminent threat to humanity. Unfortunately, there’s no one better than her to track the item, so, he offers her a chance at redemption. Will she take his deal? Can he trust her if she does? Or will fate deliver karmic penance to him in the form of a beautiful, but maniacal Fallen?

Katori Hall Plays One
Author: Katori Hall
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1408177757
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
An important new voice for African-American theatre, Katori Hall explores the lives of black and often invisible Americans with vivid language, dynamic narratives and richly textured characterisation. Hoodoo Love is Hall's debut play, a tale of love, magic, jealousy and secrets in 1930s Memphis, written in vivid language which captures the spirit of the Blues. Saturday Night/Sunday Morning is set in a Memphis beauty shop/boarding house during the final days of WWII. Rich with humor and history, it is a story about friendship and finding love in unexpected places. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play 2009, The Mountaintop is a historical-fantastical two hander, portraying the penultimate day in the life of Martin Luther King. Hurt Village won the 2011 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Set in a real-life Memphis housing project, it explores in vivid and at times brutal detail a long-lasting legacy of drug abuse, child abuse, crime, and self-hatred within a poor, working-class, multi-generational Black family. This first collection of Katori Hall's dramatic works demonstrate her unique voice for the theatre, which is visceral, passionate and energetic. Hall portrays disenfranchised portions of society with fearless humanity and startling accomplishment.
