Book Description
The audacious first novel from the award-winning and bestselling author of Boy, Snow, Bird and What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours • “Oyeyemi brilliantly conjures up the raw emotions and playground banter of childhood. . . . A masterly first novel.”–The New York Times Book Review "Remarkable. . . . As original as it is unsettling, The Icarus Girl runs straight at the heart of what it means to belong."– O, The Oprah Magazine Jessamy “Jess” Harrison, age eight, is the child of an English father and a Nigerian mother. Possessed of an extraordinary imagination, she has a hard time fitting in at school. It is only when she visits Nigeria for the first time that she makes a friend who understands her: a ragged little girl named TillyTilly. But soon TillyTilly’s visits become more disturbing, until Jess realizes she doesn’t actually know who her friend is at all. Drawing on Nigerian mythology, Helen Oyeyemi presents a striking variation on the classic literary theme of doubles — both real and spiritual — in this lyrical and bold debut.
Author: Weldon Thornton Publisher: Syracuse University Press ISBN: 9780815625872 Category : Literary Criticism Languages : en Pages : 264
Book Description
Thornton takes a fresh look at important psychological and cultural issues in this novel, arguing that although it may be a classic text of literary modernism, it is a fundamentally antimodernist work. This comprehensive and thoughtful book provides readers with a new cultural critique and intellectual history of 'Portrait', which promises to become one of the major discussions of the novel.

Book Description
Two human siblings, Alexis and Varren, sixteen and seventeen years old, live in a mythical land called Ithaca, where six groups dominate the world: elves, dwarves, gnomes, were-creatures, dragons, and humans. The siblings lead a normal life until it is revealed to them that a rebellion exists against the humans' tyrannical ruler, the Queen, and they are handed a book that can transport anything through time, making it the most powerful object in Ithaca. Alexis, Varren, and their grandfather Icarus must travel across the land to reach Karakorum, the rebels' base, to deliver the Book of Time. Along the way, they meet allies and enemies, see things they would never have dreamed of, and experience love, anguish, exhilaration, wounds, and death. The two are loyal, brave, determined, and smart, and Varren possesses a form of magic called Persuasion, while Alexis possesses something even more potent and mysterious. But when there seem to be no mysteries left, when they finally reach Karakorum, Alexis and Varren hear something that would have been better left buried ... My name is Zhishuai Chen, but you can call me Charlie. I was born in China, raised in the U.S. (Boston), and at the time of this writing, I am in the seventh grade. This is my first novel, and to the readers, I say thank you. I would be honored to go on a fishing trip with each and every one of you. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/ZhishuaiChen

Author: Page DuBois Publisher: NYU Press ISBN: 0814719465 Category : Education Languages : en Pages : 163
Book Description
DuBois (classics and cultural studies, U. of California, San Diego) has written a passionate account of the Greek classics, the richness of which comes alive in her retelling of the tales. The goal of her book is twofold: first, to show why the classics are unquestionably worth including in school curricula and secondly, to demonstrate how conservative thinkers, particularly William Bennett and Allan Bloom, have sanitized these stories to conform to their agenda of what American families should be and think. c.
