Book Description
There's no way I'm going to ever like Christina. Not if she's the last woman on earth. No matter how beautiful she is, no matter which way I swing. If her and I were stranded together on an island, the lasts thing I would do is look for companionship. Unless she looks at me like that... Sage and Christina are work colleagues and they're always competing. Christina is everything - beautiful, sexy, flirtatious. But Sage is comfortable with who she is as a woman, where she stands as a lesbian, and where she's headed in life. Alone. When Mr. Craig - CEO of Sharkfin Industries - asks Christina and Sage to work together on a project that will only see one of them through to the promotion they've both been vying for, the heat is on. There's no way Sage is going to let manipulative Christina flirt her way to the position she's always wanted. Until Sage and Christina run into each other outside the office, and sparks fly. In a good way. They spend a night together and suddenly the tables turn. Christina is now a lover, not an enemy. But she's still selfish and set on winning. And Sage doesn't know where she stands. In an attempt to make things work she just makes them worse. There's only one thing stronger than lust: guilt. Will Sage and Christina be able to work out their differences and make it happen despite the controversies of a conventional workplace? Will Sage's mistakes make them stronger? Or will the other shoe drop?

Sexual Politics in the Work of Tennessee Williams
Author: Michael S. D. Hooper
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107379121
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Michael S. D. Hooper reverses the recent trend of regarding Tennessee Williams as fundamentally a social writer following the discovery, publication and/or performance of plays from both ends of his career - the 'proletarian' apprentice years of Candles to the Sun and Not About Nightingales and the once overlooked final period of, amongst many other plays, The Red Devil Battery Sign. Hooper contends that recent criticism has exaggerated the political engagement and egalitarian credentials of a writer whose characters and situations revert to a reactionary politics of the individual dominated by the negotiation of sexual power. Directly, or more often indirectly, Williams' writing expresses social disaffection before glamorising the outcast and shelving thoughts of political change. Through detailed analysis of canonical texts the book sheds new light on Williams' work, as well as on the cultural and social life of mid-twentieth-century America.

Love and Lust
Author: Theodor Reik
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351508113
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
These selections from Theodor Reik's work concern the love life and sexual activity of men and women. Reik establishes the theme of this work in the following way: "The sex urge hunts for lustful pleasure; love is in search of joy and happiness." Over a third of this volume had never been published in book form before it originally appeared half a century ago. Its appearance in paperback, for the first time, is a welcome addition to current debates, liberated from ideological and political constraints.The first part of the book is so far ahead of its time that it is still current. It reveals Reik's departure from Freud's theories and from those of most of his contemporaries in psychology and psychoanalysis. Part Two is a greatly abbreviated version of Masochism in Modern Man, retaining those parts with a direct bearing on the subject of this volume. Part Three offers two essays on why people remain single. In the author's usual direct style, they deal with the marriage shyness of the male and the psychological fears and resistance of both men and women to acceptance of the marriage bond. Part Four is Reik at his wisest. "The first lady whom I asked to read the manuscript said smilingly: 'Many of your impressions about us (women) are correct. No man should read the book!' A few seconds later, she said: 'Or rather, every man should read the book!'"As Paul Roazen noted, "in contrast to some of Freud's other followers, Reik was prescient early on in distinguishing self-love from narcissism. Reik believed that genuine self-regard was the ultimate basis for developing the capacity to love."At times Reik seems to defend women, at times to critique them. Yet he writes with sympathy and understanding. He challenges other authorities who have written on the subject, but he also agrees with many of them. Love and Lust is civilized writing at its most provocative. Reik is authoritative, and his book reflects the glow of a rich personali

Here Comes Your Man
Author: Derek Gentry
Publisher: Derek Gentry
ISBN: 0982645503
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Meet Garrett: 30-year-old computer geek, master of irrational optimism, and serial-kisser of women who (it turns out) don't like him that way. After three blurry years of business travel and inadvertent celibacy, Garrett is so ready for a serious relationship that he's a little bit dangerous. Inspired by a romantic near-miss on a flight home to Seattle, Garrett hurls himself into the deep end of the dating pool, determined to find happiness no matter how miserable it makes him. Too bad the women he falls for don't share his sense of urgency: Froot Loop sculptress April worries she's warping his personality, cynical attorney Corinne suspects he likes her too much, and upstairs neighbor Meryl just wants to be friends. Garrett refuses to give up though... well, at least until he does. But sometimes, after you've finally abandoned hope, you find that someone else hasn't given up on you. "With wit, heart and intelligence, Derek Gentry's Here Comes Your Man reminds readers that you never know what is around the next corner or on the next page. Those who enjoy Nick Hornby will devour this book." -Eileen Cook, author of Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood
