Book excerpt: Lawrence Block on Lust Weekend: "LUST WEEKEND was written in 1962 and published that same year by Nightstand Books. The title's an obvious play on THE LOST WEEKEND, Charles Jackson's groundbreaking novel of alcoholism. The book was a sensation, as was the film adaptation starring Ray Milland. "The people at Nightstand generally changed the titles on my manuscripts. But LUST WEEKEND made the cut, and I'm sure I came up with the title first and wrote the book to fit. 'Lust' was a favorite word at Nightstand, where they wanted to excite the readers withoutd alarming the censors. (Lust and slut were favorites. I gave one book the can'tmiss title LUST SLUT- but they changed it. Go figure."A confession: in the ordinary course of things, I don't read these early titles before reissuing them in the Collection of Classic Erotica. Like most writers, I find it difficult to look back at my earliest work. But in this case I had absolutely no recollection of the book, although a glance at the very first page made it clear that it was unquestionably my work. I was pretty sure it all took place in the course of a single turbulent weekend, that much was implicit in the title, and again the first page confirmed my suspicion."But I read on, because I have to admit I liked the writing. Really, what's not to like?Between the hours of four and five Friday afternoon, Jordan Flagg sat behind a free-form desk and jotted notes and numbers on sheets of yellow manila paper. The desk was Scandinavian, and in recent years the Scandinavians had developed a penchant for taking a perfectly ordinary garden-variety sort of thing like a desk and designing it in the approximate inglorious shape of a kidney. Jordan Flagg's desk looked like a kidney. The wood was well-polished walnut that glowed like plastic, and the whole desk itself was so determinedly graceful that it looked as though it were capable of dancing.Jordan Flagg liked the desk.Flagg liked things to be modern. Although he never found time to go to a museum or to browse in galleries, he was an ardent fan of modern art. He read only recently published books, went only to first-run movies, and pretty much stuck to tastes and pursuits which, if not actually futuristic, were at least determinedly up-to-date. The kidney-shaped desk reflected this. So did the Bigelow on the floor, the title on the door, the close-cropped crewcut on his head, the heavy horn-rimmed glasses, the natural-shoulder suit, the ultra-slim attaché case, the architect-designed contemporary home in Fairfield County, the clean hands with their manicured nails, the nerve on his forehead with its slight tendency to twitch, and so on, and so on, and so on. Jordan Flagg was modern. Period."I read on, and the narrative moved from one character to another, and before I knew it hooker named Lily Merriman was quoting a parody of Longfellow's poem about the village blacksmith: Under the spreading chestnut treeThe village idiot satAmusing himself by abusing himselfAnd catching the drops in his hat."Now I didn't make that up, nor do I remember who did, but I suspect it's almost as venerable as the original. But, to my utter astonishment, that's not how it reads in Nightstand's edition, where it goes like so: Under the spreading chestnut treeThe village idiot satAmusing himself by abusing himselfAnd singing a quarter-tone flat."I can but guess that a Nightstand editor worried that any reference to ejaculation would rouse a censor from his long sleep. But what a creative solution! It rhymes, it scans, and if it doesn't make a great deal of sense, well, it comes close enough."I wonder who made the substitution, leaving it to me to discover his work 60 years later. Nightstand was the creature of Bill Hamling, who had grown up in science fiction; at one time or another his staff included such SF types as Earl Kemp, Algis Budrys, and Harlan Ellison."You know what? I bet it was Harlan."

Download or read book Moving Targets written by Helen Birch and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-08-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rampaging female has become a new clich in Hollywood cinema, a sexy beauty stabbing and shooting her way to box-office success. Fatal Attraction, Thelma and Louise, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and Single White Female are a few of the recent mainstream films that have attracted huge audiences. Meanwhile, true accounts of a teenager shooting her lover's wife and a battered woman bludgeoning her husband to death get prime news media coverage-and are quickly made into TV movies. This pioneering collection of essays looks at our enduring fascination with women who murder. The authors explore how both fictional and real women are represented, as well as the way society responds to these women. The result is an often shocking picture of female violence that covers a vast territory: the Australian outback, a Florida highway, an Austrian hospital, a French village, and Hollywood. The women are as diverse as their settings: middle-class housewives, prostitutes, house maids, nurses, high-powered professionals. There is much here to provoke controversy. Society's uncertainty over the role of premenstrual syndrome, the fear of lesbianism, female violence as self-defense against patriarchy, and "appropriate" female behavior are issues that push buttons on several levels. Moving Targets is must-reading for anyone concerned with violence and representations of women in our culture.

Book Synopsis Explaining Evil by : J. Harold Ellens
Download or read book Explaining Evil written by J. Harold Ellens and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this three-volume set, international scholars from across a broad spectrum of scholarly fields examine the concept of evil throughout history and world cultures from religious, scientific, psychological, and political perspectives. The manifestation of evil has provided a convenient theme for popular culture entertainment, ranging from the classic film The Exorcist, to almost all of Stephen King's horror novels, to video games such as Resident Evil. Unfortunately, dealing with—and attempting to overcome—the forces of evil is a pervasive problem in the real world as well. Explaining Evil addresses incidents of evil from ancient times to modern day around the globe. Concepts of evil within the big three religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—are examined, as well as in Chinese philosophy and Native American beliefs. The political or national expressions of evil are explored, such as the "axis of evil" that culminated in World War II. These volumes identify the causes and effects of evil, and suggest possible remedies to humanity's inescapable flaw.

Book Synopsis Some Like It Wilder by : Gene D. Phillips
Download or read book Some Like It Wilder written by Gene D. Phillips and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most accomplished writers and directors of classic Hollywood, Billy Wilder (1906–2002) directed numerous acclaimed films, including Sunset Boulevard (1950), Sabrina (1954), The Seven Year Itch (1955), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), and Some Like It Hot (1959). Featuring Gene D. Phillips's unique, in-depth critical approach, Some Like It Wilder: The Life and Controversial Films of Billy Wilder provides a groundbreaking overview of a filmmaking icon. Wilder began his career as a screenwriter in Berlin but, because of his Jewish heritage, sought refuge in America when Germany came under Nazi control. Making fast connections in Hollywood, Wilder immediately made the jump from screenwriter to director. His classic films Five Graves to Cairo (1943), Double Indemnity (1945), and The Lost Weekend (1945) earned Academy Awards for best picture, director, and screenplay. During the 1960s, Wilder continued to direct and produce controversial comedies, including Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) and The Apartment (1960), which won Oscars for best picture and director. This definitive biography reveals that Wilder was, and remains, one of the most influential directors in filmmaking.

Download or read book Rainbows & Fireworks written by Susan Beth Pfeffer and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the one person you can’t stand is the only one you can depend on? Nobody ever asked Betsy Reisman if she wanted to be a twin, but since she and Meg are stuck with each other, they’ve reached a truce. Mostly they keep busy—Betsy with her beloved piano and her plans to go to Juilliard and Meg with learning her fifth (or is it sixth?) language. It’s about to get harder, though, since their parents, both writers, have decided to take the year off from New York City’s high rents and live in a country cottage on the estate of a much-wealthier family. The owner is a friend of Betsy’s mom, and the whole family is sort of local nobility, or at least that’s how everyone treats them. Eunice, the oldest daughter, is not at all happy about the Reismans’ arrival. This is just fine with Betsy, who only likes people who like music. But Meg goes for successful and popular—and Betsy knows that Meg will be heartbroken if Eunice snubs her—and the rest of the school follows suit. Worse, their parents haven’t stopped fighting since they got there. The sisters decide that to make the year as tolerable as possible, they’re going to have to stick together and at least try to get along. Kind of like friends—or maybe even like sisters.

Book excerpt: Men from a variety of sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds overturn myths about male sexuality and desire! Male sexuality comes of age in this provocative collection of personal essays and poetry. Male Lust's nearly 60 contributors explore emotional, social, and political aspects of sex and desire from a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and sexual orientations. Answering the long-standing challenge for men to finally theorize the complexity of their own sexual desires, Male Lust (a 2001 Lambda Gay Studies Literary Award Finalist) delves into topics such as commercial sex, sadomasochism, feminism, and white supremacy without lapsing into reactionary, knee-jerk or misogynist stances. This book offers a positive sexual vision that moves far beyond the narrow messages offered in mainstream media. Male Lust reveals thoughtful, detailed realities of gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, and same-gender-loving men's personal experiences with sex that lurk behind the stereotypes. Among the many topics that the essays, stories, and poems herein chronicle are: various facets of men's and women's experience with commercial sex, both as consumers and providers social and hormonal phenomena involved in transitioning from female to male handling the impact of white supremacy on male lust as a man of color the transformational possibilities of S/M women's responses to the lusts of the men in their lives coming of age with a “deviant” gender or sexual orientation healing from rape and other forms of sexual abuse coming to terms with loving and desiring women within a misogynist culture lust and desire within a disabled body Together, the contributors break the noisy silence surrounding male lust, challenge the dominant images of men as unemotional sexual predators, and expose the live, beating hearts, minds, and souls of real men loving, healing, and revealing themselves, each other, and the women in their lives. Male Lust heralds the next generation of thinking men--a must-read for anyone seeking cutting-edge ideas on sexuality and desire.
