Book Description
Two women. One man. Zero limits. My name’s Charlie, and I have a problem: I’m obsessed with two talented, smart, and sexy women. Armed with their diaries, I’ll do everything I can to achieve my goal: become their man. The Diary Obsession is an episodic novel that records my tales of obsession with Sophia and Virginia, presented in novella-length installments. It will contain ten episodes (when the season is over), five of which are included in this bundle: Episode 1: The Transition bridges the gap between last season (another episodic novel called The Stewardess’s Diary) and Captain Charlie’s current situation. It explains how Sophia’s diary made it into his carry-on and how this whole obsession started. It also brings the reader back to the present when Charlie touches base with Virginia again. Episode 2: The Adaptation covers the problems Sophia faces as she settles and creates her new life in Paris. It also introduces Virginia’s daughter (who definitely has issues of her own) and sees Sophia and Virginia reunite in person. Of course, Charlie will take you back to the present with his progress in courting his favorite ladies. Episode 3: The Declaration takes place in Madrid, Spain. Sophia declares her love to Virginia who doesn’t react the way Sophia hoped. It also features a steamy threesome reunion with JuanMa. As mentioned at the end of episode two, Charlie will also head to Spain to meet with Virginia and try to resolve yet another fight between his two favorite ladies. In Episode 4: The Orientation, Sophia and Virginia begin to form a closer bond and finally open up to each other. Virginia introduces her daughter to Sophia, while Sophia gets Virginia a visitor pass to the maison close. Will Charlie’s ladies keep their hands on each other or will they enjoy some of the perks that Sophia's unique work environment has to offer? Episode 5: The Addiction takes place in London where JuanMa, the ladies' friend-with-benefits, performs live on stage. Sophia and Virginia will partake in his new rock star lifestyle, but will it prove too much for them or their new and fragile relationship? If you like your LGBTQ+ romance with a good serving of mystery, action, and sizzling heat, then you’ll love this episodic novel about me and my obsession with two gorgeous women. It’s time to start reading! Take a peek between the sheets. (I won’t tell if you won’t.) Buy this bundle and save!

The Obsession
Author: Meyer Levin
Publisher: Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.
ISBN: 1625670648
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In 1951, Meyer Levin’s wife gave him a copy of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, which had just been published in France. Levin was already a successful writer in his mid-forties, searching for a way to bear witness to his experiences as a war correspondent in Europe. In Anne Frank’s diary, he found the voice he had been waiting for. The Obsession, widely regarded as one of Meyer Levin’s finest works, is a candid account of his struggle to bring his version of Anne Frank’s diary to Broadway. Levin’s adaptation, begun with the support of Anne’s father, Otto, was eventually deemed ‘unstageworthy,’ and he was supplanted by non-Jewish writers. To Levin, it was a clear case of sanitizing Anne’s story in favor of mass appeal. He battled for his version in courtrooms and out, but the fallout nearly destroyed both his family and his career. In recounting the mania that gripped him for twenty years, Levin spares neither himself nor others. Like all his best work, this extraordinary memoir encompasses larger themes—the nature of Jewishness, the price of assimilation, the writer’s obligation to himself and to his subject, and the search for identity and purpose. "The Obsession is an autobiographical account by one of America's best contemporary novelists of his twenty-year agonizing enslavement to an idea. ... It is a dramatic book, beautifully written, with suspense, sensational revelations, the striking changes of pace and focus, and relentless seeking after the meaning of the obsession." - Sage Journal Publications

An Obsession with Anne Frank
Author: Lawrence Graver
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520313232
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Anne Frank's Diary has been acclaimed throughout the world as an indelible portrait of a gifted girl and as a remarkable document of the Holocaust. For Meyer Levin, the respected writer who helped bring the Diary to an American audience, the Jewish girl's moving story became a thirty-year obsession that altered his life and brought him heartbreaking sorrow. Lawrence Graver's fascinating account of Meyer Levin's ordeal is a story within a story. What began as a warm collaboration between Levin and Anne's father, Otto Frank, turned into a notorious dispute that lasted several decades and included litigation and public scandal. Behind this story is another: one man's struggle with himself—as a Jew and as a writer—in postwar America. Looming over both stories is the shadow of the Holocaust and its persistent, complex presence in our lives. Graver's book is based on hundreds of unpublished documents and on interviews with some of the Levin-Frank controversy's major participants. It illuminates important areas of American culture: publishing, law, religion, politics, and the popular media. The "Red Scare," anti-McCarthyism, and the commercial imperatives of Broadway are all players in this book, along with the assimilationist mood among many Jews and the simplistic pieties of American society in the 1950s. Graver also examines the different and often conflicting ways that people the world over, Jewish and Gentile, wanted Anne Frank and her much-loved book to be represented. That her afterlife has in extraordinary ways taken on the shape and implications of myth makes Graver's story—and Meyer Levin's—even more compelling. 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 1995.

Obsession
Author: Carolyn Beard Whitlow
Publisher: Dartmouth College Press
ISBN: 161168529X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
The sestina (of medieval French origin) is a complex poetic form of 39 lines (six sestets and a three-line "envoy") in which the six end-words (teleutons) of the lines of the first sestet stanza are repeated in a specific order as teleutons in the five succeeding sestets. In the envoy, the six teleutons are again picked up, one of them being buried in, and one finishing, each line. Because of the complexity of the form, the sestina fell out of favor with poets for several decades. However, a twenty-first century revival of the form is underway. This is the first anthology of sestinas that showcases both traditional and innovative examples of the form by modern and contemporary poets, award winners, and emerging writers alike. Organized by such themes as Americana; Art; Love and Sex; and Memory, Contemplation, Retrospection, and Death, the collection also includes sestinas with irregular teleutons and unconventional sestinas. An evocative introduction by Marilyn Krysl acquaints readers with the form. The volume concludes with useful indexes of first lines and teleutons, increasing access to the poems beyond the poets' names.
