Book Description
The characters names have been changed to protect their identity. The story is based on reality with internal feelings and realizations brought out into the surreal. Sexual attraction, fear of intimacy, borderline schizo personality disorder and romance are combined in a love story that may surprisingly finds its home in the lives of many of the currently maturing generations. Radio Lust is a story of a woman who finds the sublime method of fulfilling her need for intimacy and dying need for romance through a local celebrity of the radio broadcasting industry. Dream Boy becomes her focus for satisfying lust within his own difficulties in loving himself. Having reached out to Lisa to fulfill his strange need to have a sado masochistic affair and a stalker in his life, she responds patiently by loving him unconditionally, despite his blatant disrespect. Lisa is entranced by the need to psycho analyze and dissect him. This is a sexy story interfaced with lovers of the ordinary kind who are also entangled in the web of intrigue. The beat of Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Metallica and other metal rock groups of the day give this story a driving musical backdrop.

Book Description
In High Contrast, Sharon Willis examines the dynamic relationships between racial and sexual difference in Hollywood film from the 1980s and 1990s. Seizing on the way these differences are accentuated, sensationalized, and eroticized on screen--most often with little apparent regard for the political context in which they operate--Willis restores that context through close readings of a range of movies from cinematic blockbusters to the work of the new auteurs, Spike Lee, David Lynch, and Quentin Tarantino. Capturing the political complexity of these films, Willis argues that race, gender, and sexuality, as they are figured in the fantasy of popular film, do not function separately, but rather inform and determine each other's meaning. She demonstrates how collective anxieties regarding social difference are mapped onto big budget movies like the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon series, Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, Thelma and Louise, Terminator 2, and others. Analyzing the artistic styles of directors Lynch, Tarantino, and Lee, in such films as Wild at Heart, Pulp Fiction, and Do the Right Thing, she investigates how these interactions of difference are linked to the production of specific authorial styles, and how race functions for each of these directors, particularly in relation to gender identity, erotics, and fantasy.
