This story is about the journey he takes, and it is filled with an insta-lust surprise, the discovery of illegal practices, and the need to rethink priorities.ĭavid is a lawyer on his way to partner, has followed his current lover to their now joint employer, and he will work his a** off to make life easy for his boss. As fun as Bangkok could be, it is not a place David has ever explored, and “one night in Bangkok” will not fix his issues – or so David thinks. When his boss/lover dumps him just before an important business trip to Thailand and tells him to relax, this is not something that comes easily to David. Some people are all about their careers, an organized, orderly life, and they let this attitude pervade even their personal and love lives. ![]()

![]() ![]() I promote the reading of Butler alongside posthuman theory, in elucidating her radical rethinking of unitarian subjectivity and her celebration of the more expansive embrace of vital, diverse intersubjectivity. ![]() ![]() The thesis argues that Butler confronts these forms of oppression as intersecting and overlapping issues that stem from a common location - myopic Humanism - and require similar remediation - destabilizing the monolith of normativity that constitutes ‘humanness’. Adopting the protean field of posthuman theory as a framework, I advocate for a specifically anti-Humanist reading of the series indeed, I posit that Butler’s re- imagination of the posthuman functions to empower subjectivities marginalized under this ideology - specifically, sexualized, racialized, and naturalized Others. This thesis explores the extent to which Octavia Butler’s use of the Other, in her trilogy Lilith’s Brood, problematizes the construct of the Human subject as established under Humanism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Edith Wharton was a complex woman and author, educated and opinionated, and her works will appeal to a wide audience of readers (and listeners!).

The novel was published in 1911, set in the fictitious town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, whose naming is a subtle overture to the books mood. One of her more popular works, Ethan Frome, which is also available on audio download, began the author's theme of writing about loveless marriages and adultery. The plot centers around the society marriage of Newland Archer to his suitable bride May, and the love he feels for her cousin Ellen, whose status as a divorcee is a source of scandal to her family.Įdith was herself a divorcee, having left her husband after 28 years of marriage to enjoy a relationship with her partner, a journalist for The Times. As a member of New York's upper class society, Edith was able to write her novel about the morals and lifestyle of the elite from the point of view of a person living within the very circle she portrayed in the book. The Age of Innocence, published in 1920 and currently available for audio download, garnered her the award.

Just because Simon has saved the world doesn’t mean his life is perfect. In this book, Rowell wants to explore how heroes handle their lives after their mission is over. The book actually opens with an epilogue and ends with a prologue, which I thought was absolutely brilliant. Wayward Son answers the question of what happens after the bad guy is defeated. It obviously parallels Potter, but Rowell’s world is very different – magical spells draw their power from pop culture, and the main characters are gay. Obviously, Fangirl reminded many Potter fanfiction writers (including myself) about what it’s like to be obsessed with a fandom, and Rowell found herself eager to actually put this world on the page.Ĭarry On told the story of Simon’s epic battle with the evil Humdrum while at his magical British boarding school.
