Notional Identities
Author: Thomas Christie
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443864455
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Notional Identities takes up the challenge of engaging with the popular genres of speculative fiction and crime fiction by Scottish authors from the mid-1970s until the beginning of the twenty-first century, examining a variety of significant novels from across the decades in the light of wider considerations of ideology, genre and national identity. The book investigates the extent to which the national political and cultural climate of this tumultuous era informed the narrative form and social commentary of such works, and considers the manner in which—and the extent to which—a specific and identifiably Scottish response to these ideological matters can be identified in popular prose fiction during the period under discussion. Although Scottish literary fiction of recent decades has been studied in considerable depth, Scottish popular genre literature has received markedly less critical scrutiny in comparison. Notional Identities aims to help in redressing this balance, examining popular Scottish texts of the stated period in order to reflect upon whether a significant relationship can be discerned between genre fiction and the mainstream of Scottish literary writing, and to consider the characteristics of the literary connections which exist between these different modes of writing.

Pages : 140
Book Description
Sebastian Bailey is hot AF, but the dude's a total A-hole. I have no idea what I'm in for when I sign up to interview hot upcoming romance author S. Bailey. For starters, she turns out to be a he—and he's super hot. Unfortunately, he’s also a massive D-bag with a weird thing about punctuality. Our first meeting is less than stellar, but thankfully the second one goes somewhat better. Except for the part where I get roped into playing his fake girlfriend at his sister's wedding. Oh, and all the week long pre-wedding family festivities. There's a saying along the lines of fake it 'til you make it. And fake it we did. Perhaps a little too well though. Because the way his eyes devour me from across a room and the fluttering of my heart when he’s near, almost feels real. My head knows this is all a ruse, but try telling my damn heart that… Oh, and then there's the little issue of my expanding waistline... *Nerdy is an opposites attract, fake relationship, unexpected pregnancy rom-com, with the most swoony book boyfriend of every bookworm's dreams that will have you swooning in no time.

Empowered Volume 6
Author: Adam Warren
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
ISBN: 1621150445
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
After a fiery disaster claims the lives of several teammates, costumed crimefighter Empowered stumbles upon an ugly little secret of the masks-and-tights business: a growing number of ill-fated superheroes have found out the hard way that, while their bodies are still mortal, their superpowers are not... Now, only our downtrodden but doggedly determined heroine can save the (semi)living superdead from a very genuine "fate worse than death," while simultaneously grappling with the challenges of vengefully vacationing ninja clans, car-trunk carpet burn, superhero-fantasy-league drafts, excessive bedroom chatter, and deals with the devil both figurative and literal! All this, plus Emp's not-so-secret origin is revealed at last! * Adam Warren's work on The Dirty Pair is well known to U.S. comics readers. "A sort of R-rated sitcom exploring geek culture from the inside out, Empowered has its cake and eats it too-it's full of exploitative, titillating imagery, but it also features the healthiest and the most realistic romantic relationship in any comic book featuring capes and masks." -J. Caleb Mozzocco, Las Vegas
