The Man Without a Tie
Author: Max Reno
Publisher: max reno
ISBN: 9781420855791
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
This anomalous American saga takes off when Alexandra Bradford unexpectedly meets Brian Levin in Hollywood at a screen test for the movie based on her book, Kiss of Life. Attracted to each other almost instantly, the scene is set for a tempestuous romance. She is a successful black novelist, divorced, mature and beautiful, while he is white and Jewish, divorced, charismatically handsome and famous on the popular music scene. Alexandra and Brian not only have to come to grips with their new, highly publicized relationship, but also with the challenges brought forth by their racial and religious differences—a feat which, even in modern America, can still be problematic despite the country's vast multicultural and multiracial diversity. This moving account chronicles their journey across the United States from California to Florida as Alexandra struggles to reconcile her devastating past with her desire to be with Brian, and as he attempts to cope with his longing for her love and his obscure anxiety. Ultimately, the intensity of their passion soars to an emotional climax in a boundlessly searing culmination.

Author: Richard Boothby
Publisher: Routledge

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
At just the moment when many people are ready to throw Freud on to the ash-heap of intellectual history, Sex on the Couch rescues from Freud's theories a fascinating series of reflections on the nature of sexuality and gender. Richard Boothby presents here a fresh and engaging view of Freud. Sex on the Couch offers new insights into our concepts of masculinity and femininity, placing them in relation to Freud's theory of the Life and Death drives. Richard Boothby also engages feminist critiques of Freud, putting forward new and specific responses to questions that have shaped contemporary understanding of feminism and psychoanalysis. Boothby's Freud, far from being pass, is in possession of insights that enrich our understanding of modernity and its distinctive character. In a refreshingly readable style, Richard Boothby writes here not only for the scholarly reader but for the student and lay reader curious about Freud's theories and their use in contemporary world.

The Sensible Necktie
Author: Peter K Andersson
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1780928165
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
From the author of The Cotswolds Werewolf comes a new collection of Sherlock Holmes pastiches in the vein of Conan Doyle, revealing for the first time the secrets behind the theft of the hobnailed boots, the mysterious madness of the Right Honourable Wilfred Crabb, the case of the haunted public house, the curious and seemingly supernatural events surrounding a remote hotel on the east coast, and the truth behind the strange disappearance of Cyrus Thicknesse, the man in the sensible necktie. “I must say, Holmes, I am a bit surprised to see you taking an interest in something based on sympathy.” “You do not think me sympathetic?” “Of course I do. But you have said yourself that it is the rational challenge and not the human aspect that draws you to your cases. Humans are mere factors in a problem, I think were your words.” “Did I really say that? Hm, well, I am an odd sort, am I not?”
