Book Description
Stuart Walker Purloin was given the name Margarite Ecclesia at birth. Never comfortable in a woman’s body, in early adulthood, Margarite completes transgender surgery in Holland after living through the hell of a small, southern town as a “transvestite.” Returning to Margarite’s hometown as Stuart, they are immediately targeted as a convenient solution to a murder case and sent to a maximum-security prison in Raiford, Florida; he is inmate 123047. The journey through this hell to Stuart is much like Dante’s journey through the inferno. During a life in the hell of bigotry and imprisonment, three Virgil-like saviors appear unexpectedly to guide Margarite, and then Stuart, through a modern inferno. A novel, Guideless the Rivers’ Course, tells a story of self-exploration, resolution, and redemption from the vagaries of prison for an inmate who used to be a woman, unexpected salvation for a good man who lived inside a good woman, and ultimately, the story of a town where ghosts emerge to protect one of its own.

A River Called Titash
Author: Adwaita Mallabarman
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520913183
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Originally published in 1956, A River Called Titash is among the most highly acclaimed novels in Bengali literature. A unique combination of folk poetry and ethnography, Adwaita Mallabarman's tale of a Malo fishing village at the turn of the century captures the songs, speech, rituals, and rhythms of a once self-sufficient community and culture swept away by natural catastrophe, modernization, and political conflict. Both historical document and work of art, this lyrical novel provides an intimate view of a community of Hindu fishers and Muslim peasants, coexisting peacefully before the violent partition of Bengal between India and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Mallabarman's story documents a way of life that has all but disappeared. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
