Book excerpt: “[A] hilarious and disturbing new comedy about all-American violence” and other whip-smart political satires by the Tony Award-winning playwright (Ben Branley, The New York Times). Christopher Durang, who The New York Observer called “Jonathan Swift’s nicer, younger brother,” became one of America’s most beloved and acclaimed playwrights by marrying gonzo farce with incisive social critique. Now collected in Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them and Other Political Plays are Durang’s most revealing satirical plays. Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them is the story of a young woman in crisis: Is her new husband, whom she married when drunk, a terrorist? Or just crazy? Or both? Is her father’s hobby of butterfly collecting really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government? Does her mother frequent the theater for mental escape, or is she just insane? Add in a minister who directs porno, and a ladylike operative whose underwear just won’t stay up, and this black comedy will make us laugh all the way to the waterboarding room. Also included in this volume are: Excerpts from Sex and Longing Cardinal O’Connor The Book of Leviticus Show Entertaining Mr. Helms The Doctor Will See You Now Under Duress: Words on Fire An Alter Boy Talks to God The Hardy Boys and the Mystery of Where Babies Come From

I thought I would be able to live my life working right next to the woman and never give in to her love. Everything was working for me for a long time, until he came along. Why did he have to join my club? Why did he set his sights on the only woman who has freely given her heart to me, even if I just played with it, instead of cherishing it the way I should have? If I'd only known the Halloween Ball would be how it all ends, I might have done things differently...

Book excerpt: This book of poetry will take you on the heart's journey of dealing with a deceptive relationship. From falling madly in love, to being alone in shambles of self-hate and unworthiness, this book will rip down your emotional barricades and have you admitting true feelings that have been shoved to the bottom. Each poem explores particular feelings; from giddy admiration to self-sabotaging desire, with great use of powerful sensory, and vivid metaphors. The metaphors are masterfully written with the intention to be read steadily to absorb and interpret its meaning wholly. Each word has been carefully selected to knit the author's raw truth to the poems. The imagery is very confronting; the truth is oppressive. As you read over again, and again, more achingly wretched surprises will unclothe. Emily Bock is the writer behind the blog Hippie Thinking. This is her first book of poetry.

Book excerpt: Tortured Love follows the meandering life of one individual and his bizarre effect on a handful of people. The reader will acknowledge the ever changing pattern of the world and how a personal influence can incite everything from suicide and murder to love and romance. There will be a tidal wave of emotions from happiness to disgust as violence; retribution, regret and happiness are explored with a veritable force. This unique journey will be enlivening and disheartening in equal measures, concentrating on a colourful array of characters from psychopaths to poets and their parallel coexistence. Tortured Love is not for the faint of heart but then neither is life itself. I will torture love and kill your infatuation. I will snatch your prize and conjure its demise, This is my future, this is my destination. There will be pain but you will cherish the gain. For the love you crave, you will eternally be my slave.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before 9/11, films addressing torture outside of the horror/slasher genre depicted the practice in a variety of forms. In most cases, torture was cast as the act of a desperate and depraved individual, and the viewer was more likely to identify with the victim rather than the torturer. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, scenes of brutality and torture in mainstream comedies, dramatic narratives, and action films appear for little other reason than to titillate and delight. In these films, torture is devoid of any redeeming qualities, represented as an exercise in brutal senselessness carried out by authoritarian regimes and institutions. This volume follows the shift in the representation of torture over the past decade, specifically in documentary, action, and political films. It traces and compares the development of this trend in films from the United States, Europe, China, Latin America, South Africa, and the Middle East. Featuring essays by sociologists, psychologists, historians, journalists, and specialists in film and cultural studies, the collection approaches the representation of torture in film and television from multiple angles and disciplines, connecting its aesthetics and practices to the dynamic of state terror and political domination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One night in December 1800, in the distant mission outpost of San Antonio in northern Mexico, Eulalia Californio and her lover Primo plotted the murder of her abusive husband. While the victim was sleeping, Prio and his brother tied a rope around Juan Californio's neck. One of them sat on his body while the other pulled on the rope and the woman, grabbing her husband by the legs, pulled in the opposite direction. After Juan Californio suffocated, Eulalia ran to the mission and reported that her husband had choked while chewing tobacco. Suspicious, the mission priests reported the crime to the authorities in charge of the nearest presidio. For historians, spousal murders are significant for what they reveal about social and family history, in particular the hidden history of day-to-day gender relations, conflicts, crimes, and punishments. Fatal Love examines this phenomenon in the late colonial Spanish Atlantic, focusing on incidents occurring in New Spain (colonial Mexico), New Granada (colonial Colombia), and Spain from the 1740s to the 1820s. In the more than 200 cases consulted, it considers not only the social features of the murders, but also the legal discourses and judicial practices guiding the historical treatment of spousal murders, helping us understand the historical intersection of domestic violence, private and state/church patriarchy, and the law.

Book excerpt: Fourteen women testify to the shocking human rights abuses in Iranian prisons WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2023 'A must-read for anyone concerned with human rights in Iran. A gripping, moving and utterly shocking account.' Kylie Moore-Gilbert Iranian prisons systematically violate human rights. In White Torture, fourteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of imprisonment: harassment and beatings by guards, total blindfolding and denial of medical treatment. Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is even told she is dead. None of the women have committed crimes – they are prisoners of conscience or held hostage as bargaining chips. Through torture, the Iranian state hopes to remake their souls. These interviews, carried out by Narges Mohammadi while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are astounding documents of resistance and integrity. As Iranians still fight for Woman, Life, Freedom, White Torture indicts the regime for its crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Kondoleon has said his plays are "sad, scary, funny." Though his work has been compared to that of Joe Orton and Oscar Wilde, John Guare and Christopher Durang, his acute and elegant voice has from the first been distinctively his own. Kondoleon's tragicomedies are peopled by extremists, their behavior bizarre. And yet these curious characters are driven by the most familiar of passions. Abandonment and betrayal define their pasts, shadow their present. They are needy and lonely and full of desire. They seek transcendence, and this impossible, fundamental longing takes forms both common and strange. These plays are not only jet-black comedies. They are fairy tales, fables, passion plays, masquerades. Kondoleon's intensely theatrical sensibility is, finally, romantic. He sees the contemporary world clearly; he also sees other worlds: prior, within, beyond. This volume also includes: Christmas on Mars, The Vampires, Slacks and Tops and Anteroom.

Book excerpt: Some people have their opinions on mental illness. Others take liberties in judgement against a person because of who they are; who they love; who they admire; how they live their life...Fine. But when these nay-sayers invade your personal space telling you not to do this, not do that - You can't love this one or that one...It's time to rid yourself of the clutter! Go forward along your own path and make those dreams come true... This work is an example of how one life was so congested with the clutter of negative influence, abuse, and personal hell, that nearly half of it had been wasted just trying to keep from going insane! Innocence distorted and kidnapped; hopeful endeavors attempted, went up in flames; delicate dreams coming to life, slaughtered by cruel family members and nasty people... It is my life spoken of here. These are my trials. These are my tribulations...Overwhelming obstacles faced, and with courage, overcome! Good and bad situations experienced, in gladness and sadness. Heartaches suffered in confusion and frustration. Love betrayed. Trust abused. Beliefs twisted and distorted. Hope lost. Self-Esteem lain low... People whom I have trusted and loved behaved in these awful ways to me. In my depression, I didn't have the strength to defend myself; I was fearful and filled with anxiety, but they never cared! Not enough to stop what they were doing to me. Emotional and psychological abuse is the worst torture a person can go through because it leaves scars that don't heal - Nobody sees them, but they're there... I don't know how many years I have left, but I want to enjoy them! I have spent too many living in a lion's den, or zoo, in comparison to these negligent people. Don't cave to the negative influences of other people. Live the best life that you can, in the way and fashion that feels right, to you!

Book excerpt: The question of when, and under what circumstances, the practice of torture might be justified has received a great deal of attention in the last decade in both academia and in the popular media. Many of these discussions are, however, one-sided with other perspectives either ignored or quickly dismissed with minimal argument. In On the Ethics of Torture, Uwe Steinhoff provides a complete account of the philosophical debate surrounding this highly contentious subject. Steinhoff s position is that torture is sometimes, under certain narrowly circumscribed conditions, justified, basing his argument on the right to self-defense. His position differs from that of other authors who, using other philosophical justifications, would permit torture under a wider set of conditions. After having given the reader a thorough account of the main arguments for permitting torture under certain circumstances, Steinhoff explains and addresses the many objections that have been raised to employing torture under any circumstances. This is an indispensible work for anyone interested in one of the most controversial subjects of our times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torture has recently been the subject of some sensational headlines. As a result, there has been a huge surge in interest in the ethical implications of this contentious issue. The Ethics of Torture offers the first complete introduction to the philosophical debates surrounding torture. The book asks key questions in light of recent events such as the abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib. What makes torture morally reprehensible? Are there any conditions under which torture is acceptable? What is it like to be tortured, and why do people engage in torture? The authors argue that the force of the most common arguments for torture (like the ticking-bomb argument) are significantly overestimated, while the wrongness of torture has been significantly underestimated-even by those who argue against it. This is the ideal introduction to the ethics of torture for students of moral philosophy or political theory. It also constitutes a significant contribution to the torture debate in its own right, presenting a unique approach to investigating this dark practice.
