The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye
Author: A. S. Byatt
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307483878
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The magnificent title story of this collection of fairy tales for adults describes the strange and uncanny relationship between its extravagantly intelligent heroine--a world renowned scholar of the art of story-telling--and the marvelous being that lives in a mysterious bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar. As A.S. Byatt renders this relationship with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing, but inevitable. The companion stories in this collection each display different facets of Byatt's remarkable gift for enchantment. They range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy; they draw us into narratives that are as mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they all us to inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail, its intellectual consistency, and its splendor. "A dreamy treat.... It is not merely strange, it is wondrous." --Boston Globe "Alternatingly erudite and earthy, direct and playful.... If Scheherazade ever needs a break, Byatt can step in, indefinitely." --Chicago Tribune "Byatt's writing is crystalline and splendidly imaginative.... These [are] perfectly formed tales." --Washington Post Book World

Djinn
Author: Tofik Dibi
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438481314
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
From a young age, Tofik Dibi feels "it"—a spirit, or djinn, that follows him everywhere. Where "it" goes, "they" go—his classmates, his colleagues, all the people who fear and hate "it," his homosexuality. The son of Moroccan immigrants, Dibi was elected to the Dutch Parliament in 2006 at just twenty-six years old. During his six years in office, he fought for the equal rights of Dutch Muslims against a political elite that cast them as misogynists, homophobes, and, after 9/11, terrorists. But Dibi himself never came out publicly as queer—until he wrote Djinn. A bestseller upon its publication in Dutch in 2015, it tells the poignant, at times heartbreaking, story of Dibi's coming-of-age as a gay Muslim man with humor and grace. From his Amsterdam childhood to his experiences in New York City clubs and internet chatrooms to his unlikely political ascent, Djinn explores contemporary issues of race, religion, sexuality, and human rights in and beyond Europe. Yet it also promises readers who may not see themselves reflected in popular culture—like Dibi as a young man—an all-too-rare sense of visibility and recognition.

Zodiac Lovers 4
Author: Lance Taubold
Publisher: Invoke Books
ISBN: 0692325999
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Zodiac Lovers Book 4 Scorpio Rain is able to be read tea leaves and can see everyone’s future but his own. He meets devastatingly handsome Southern gentleman, Creighton Marlin, and Rain knows what he wants: a future with this man. But when he reads Creighton’s tea leaves, he sees an ominous future for the men, but Creighton is determined to thwart the inevitable and will do everything possible to secure their happiness. Sagittarius Championship rodeo rider, Colton James, has always been lucky on a horse but unlucky in love, until he falls for hot-looking, real estate investor (and part-time astrologist), Ryland McAuliffe, at the National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas. Colt is ready, at last, for the ride of his life. The future looks bright, except for the terrible accident that no one could have predicted. Capricorn Gardner Braxton, an award-winning photojournalist, is in Egypt doing research for his big book on The Seven Wonders of The World. The problem is: he doesn’t know how to get photos of the other six no-longer-existing Wonders. Deep inside The Great Pyramid of Khufu, he stumbles upon a lamp. Thinking he has nothing to lose, he rubs the lamp, like Aladdin did, and the most perfect-looking genie appears—Djinn, who offers him three wishes . . . or as Gardner soon finds out, maybe more. The attraction between the two is immediate as well. This could be the answer to his problem of getting his photos of the other Wonders. Can Djinn help him time-travel to the Ancient Wonders? And more importantly, can he have a future with a genie?
