Virginity in Young Adult Literature after Twilight
Author: Christine Seifert
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442246588
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Around 2005 something surprising happened in young adult literature: YA books became obsessed with presenting characters who wanted to have sex but couldn’t—at least not without losing something vital to their identity. Since the publication of Twilight, the YA market has been flooded with books that feature naive virgins finding true love. While some YA novels do present nuanced depictions of sex and of healthy sexual relationships, the fiction most popular with young adult readers presents adolescent girls as virginal sex objects waiting to be fulfilled by their love interests. In Virginity in Young Adult Literature after Twilight, Christine Seifert looks at an alarming trend in YA novels. Labeling this phenomenon “abstinence porn,” Seifert argues that these novels that fetishize virginity are harmful to readers. Like pornography, such works reduce female characters to objects whose sexual acts are the sole expression of their identities. Chapters in this book examine paranormal, dystopian, and contemporary romance, paying particular attention to recurring virginity themes or tropes. The book also provides an antidote by showing how some sex-positive teen novels provide more empowering messages to readers. Organized by genre, the books were selected for this study based on their popularity with teens. Exploring how messages about virginity are sustained and repeated from text to text, this book also calls out key reader reactions to demonstrate how they are responding to these messages. Featuring a list of discussion questions, Virginity in Young Adult Literature after Twilight will be a valuable resource for teachers, librarians, parents, and mature young adult readers.

Hush Hush

Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman plunges Baltimore private investigator Tess Monaghan into a twisted and disturbing case. Tess Monaghan has encountered almost every possible criminal motive throughout her career: greed, revenge, jealousy, rage. But there are crimes that defy all attempts at understanding, where a search for motive seems pointless. Melisandre Harris Dawes committed such a crime. Found not guilty by reason of insanity, she fled the country, leaving her two daughters with their father. Twelve years later, she’s back in Baltimore, and Tess is asked to provide security detail while Melisandre films a documentary about her attempts to reconcile with her now teenaged children. Tess, juggling work with caring for her demanding toddler, is uneasy about the case. Still, Melisandre’s lawyer is family. And there is something about the woman herself—confident, beautiful, shrewdly intelligent—that draws Tess in. Is she a master manipulator or someone who was driven to temporary madness? Cold and calculating, or a mother concerned for her daughters’ well being? Someone is leaving Melisandre enigmatic, threatening notes. Soon Tess, insecure about her parenting abilities and receiving cryptic messages of her own, isn’t sure whether she should be protecting Melisandre from harm—or protecting everyone else from Melisandre. When Melisandre becomes the prime suspect in a murder, Tess must uncover the truth. Doing so will mean confronting her deepest beliefs about what separates good parents from bad, madness from sanity, and what lengths even the most rational person will go to, to protect what they cherish most.

HER
Author: Shinde Aditya
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
"Her" is a poignant collection of poems that explores quiet, unspoken love-a poet's love for that someone who keeps on getting out of reach. Through evocative images and poignant reflections, the poet traverses the bittersweet beauty of love that never gets reciprocated-the abiding lingering of emotions between words, affection that never really finds its way back. The poems are a tender expression of longing, devotion, and the silent ache of love that never was quite fulfilled. In "Her," the reader is invited into the inner world of the poet; moments of joy, sorrow, hope-all these come together in her work. Here she offers the very essence of that most fragile and precious form that love may take: only where there is no expectation does it remain a mighty force, shaping and molding the soul of the poet. "Her" is an ode to the magnificence of unrequited love, a perspective on how well it showcases the heart's capability to retain an ideal, and the grand celebration of the purest, most vulnerable form of love.
