Book Description
"Half-Life is a novel about a pair of conjoined twins who are deeply unhappy in each other's company. Nora, the dominant twin, is strong, funny, and deeply independent, thirsting for love and adventure. Blanche, by contrast, has been sleeping for nearly twenty years. Finally sick of carrying her sister's dead weight, Nora decides she wants her other half gone for good, so she leaves San Francisco for London in search of the mysterious Unity Foundation, which promises to make two one. And that one, of course, will be Nora - Blanche will be mourned, but not missed." "But once Nora arrives in London, her past begins to surface in surprising and disturbing ways, forcing her into a most reluctant voyage into memory. Something seems to be drawing Nora's thoughts back to the site of her rather unusual conception, birth, and childhood - the reconstructed ghost town of Too Bad, Nevada, where lizards skitter across the playa and "Shootout at Noon" comes every day. Searching for meaning and understanding in both her own and Blanche's past, Nora pushes herself to the brink of insanity - and begins to question her own, and Blanche's, grip on the truth. Shelley Jackson's first novel is an imaginative and touching portrait of two lives in a cleft world yearning for wholeness - a world not unlike our own."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Despite its exploration of the connection between political rhetoric and artistic expression, the project does not aim to illustrate its theme through 'populist art'. Instead, the artists in the exhibitions deal with populist sentiments and ideologies of our time through sub-themes such as the mass media projection of politics; market populism and culturial industries; group and corporate identities; representations and spaces of 'the people'; law, order and security; religious and moral controversy; nationalism and xenophobia. But all the artists share a common populist premise in their unwillingness to accept the old opposition between mass and elite culture, and their desire to investigate the forms of politics - the dreams of democracy and its remodelling - that are being produced in contemporary society"
The Natural World in Latin American Literatures
Author: Adrian Taylor KanePublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786457600
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
From the Popol Vuh to postmodernism, imagery of the natural world has played an important role in Latin American literature. In contrast to the rise of ecocritical scholarship in Anglophone literary studies, Latin American literary ecocriticism has been slower to take root. This volume of eleven essays seeks to advance the ecocritical conversation among Latin Americanists, furthering insight into the relationship between humans and their environments. The essays address regions as diverse as Patagonia and the Chihuahua Desert.
