Book excerpt: Darkly comic, stylish and violent,Vinnie Got Blown Awayoffers a radical contrast from the British tradition of a murder mystery among the middle classes. It mixes without discrimination among black, white and Asian communities; it follows their speech patterns: cockney and Caribbean unite. It demonstrates the resilience in these communities, an ability to survive against all outside pressures and values.Nicky Burkett finds his childhood friend Vinnie dead at the bottom of a tower block. He and his mates have a code of conduct which makes revenge inevitable. They have to find the villains - much more serious criminals than themselves - and then they have to take them on. The result is a hilarious hybrid of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino, with dialogue that crackles off the page and a wonderfully authentic sense of place.Brilliantly reviewed on its initial release in 1995,Vinnie Got Blown Awayholds a unique place in the British crime fiction canon, and is ripe for rediscovery by a new generation of readers.‘Audacious and outrageous.’Daily Telegraph‘Jaunty, exhilarating and original, with a feeling for street life that renders it sexy and poignant.’Literary Review‘A fast, funny trawl through the territory of London's new outlaw underclass. It is a masterly piece of storytelling.’Financial Times‘A short, sharp shock of a novel.’GQ‘Funny, violent and vivid.’Sunday Times

In considering such questions, this study ranges over hundreds of novels, analysing the politics and poetics of noir from the hard-boiled fiction of Hammett, Chandler and Cain to the exciting diversity of nineties thrillers, with sections on the tough investigators, gangsters and victims of the Depression years: the first-person killers, femmes fatales and black protagonists of mid-century; the game-players, voyeurs and consumers of contemporary thrillers and future noir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Studies -- Ethnomusicology Why would a punk band popular only in Indonesia cut songs in no other language than English? If you're rapping in Tanzania and Malawi, where hip hop has a growing audience, what do you rhyme in? Swahili? Chichewa? English? Some combination of these? Global Pop, Local Language examines how performers and audiences from a wide range of cultures deal with the issue of language choice and dialect in popular music. Related issues confront performers of Latin music in the U.S., drum and bass MCs in Toronto, and rappers, rockers, and traditional folk singers from England and Ireland to France, Germany, Belarus, Nepal, China, New Zealand, Hawaii, and beyond. For pop musicians, this issue brings up a number of complex questions. Which languages or dialects will best express my ideas? Which will get me a record contract or a bigger audience? What does it mean to sing or listen to music in a colonial language? A foreign language? A regional dialect? A "native" language? Examining popular music from a range of world cultures, the authors explore these questions and use them to address a number of broader issues, including the globalization of the music industry, the problem of authenticity in popular culture, the politics of identity, multiculturalism, and the emergence of English as a dominant world language. The chapters are written in a highly accessible style by scholars from a variety of fields, including ethnomusicology, popular music studies, anthropology, culture studies, literary studies, folklore, and linguistics. Harris M. Berger is associate professor of music at Texas A&M University. He is the author of Metal, Rock and Jazz: Perception and the Phenomenology of Musical Experience (1999). Michael Thomas Carroll is professor of English at New Mexico Highlands University. He is the author of Popular Modernity in America: Experience, Technology, Mythohistory (2000) and co-editor, with Eddie Tafoya, of Phenomenological Approaches to Popular Culture (2000).

Book excerpt: When Nick hears about the dead man found in the desert, he doesn't give it much thought. Only thirty minutes from the Mexican border, corpses have a funny way of turning up in the strangest places. But this is no ordinary corpse. The dead man's driver's license says he is 44 years old, but the medical examiner claims the body is that of a man named Alex Dodson in his 90's. Why the age discrepancy? Dodson's research was intended to study the effects of the progeria disease, in hopes of finding a way to arrest the process. But Dodson inadvertently creates a terrifying new biological weapon, which certain parties will do anything to get their hands on. Before Nick realizes it, he's hot on the trail of a vicious killer, is sidetracked by a beautiful female homicide detective, and is almost killed by a KGB agent who never heard of glasnost. In order to recover the lethal bio-weapon and save the city from a disease deadlier than AIDS, Nick must stay alive long enough to find out who really killed Alex Dodson and solve the medical mystery of the century.

Book excerpt: The fabled frontier of yore pitted lone mavericks against corrupt lawmen, features fatale, and a merciless landscape. Justice was uncomplicated and as inevitable as death.Fast forward to contemporary Montana. Times have changed. The villains have gone high-tech. The families are dysfunctional. The wildlife is endangered and the bone music -- the ancient harmony of the inner soul, the call for humanity's reconciliation with nature -- is increasingly drowned out by the cacophony of modern life.In Bone Music, Lee Moler strikes a decidedly modern riff on the celebrated tradition of Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey. With a multicultural cast and a blurred sense of justice, Moler crafts an absorbing novel, played out against a beautifully drawn Western landscape, where an aging cowboy must valiantly defend his ranch and his family against a depraved and vengeful renegade.Exciting and richly satisfying, Bone Music is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of fiction lovers from every point on the compass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an interplay of imaginative memoir-telling, action research data and future projection that reminds and inspires experiences academics, researchers, professionals, as well as a wider public to recognize the fundamental importance and the impellent need for more and better work in favour of true political and societal recognition of the needs and rights of children to play freely, to participate, to live fully and enjoy their neighbourhoods and cities, and to imagine and construct alternative futures, together with adults. The book's abundant spoken dialogue is, in effect, storytelling between children (and youth) on their own and with adults (especially the elderly). It conveys an appreciation of children’s special capacities to think critically about their everyday places—and the greater world around them—and to develop solutions (or ‘projects’) for the problems they identify. This book serves an effective catalyst for stimulating rich discussion of the theoretical and practical bases of the many themes, or areas of study, which are treated in the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast-talking, hard-living politicians, priests, smugglers and thieves play the game of the Boston streets in George V. Higgins’ The Patriot Game. Federal agent Pete Riordan is as tough as they come; he’s six-foot-four with a bad knee and a mean temper, but his commitment to his job is beyond exemplary. When he is called upon to find the man delivering arms to the I.R.A. he takes to with gusto. Little did he know it’d be such a guessing game; bar proprietor Digger Doherty is rumored to have leads, and convicted killer Mikey-Magro serving time in Walpole certainly knows more than he lets on. But no one is coming forward and time is running out, and why is Mikey-Magro being released from jail prematurely anyway? Teeming with unlikely characters and fiery dialogue that propel the plot to break-neck speed, The Patriot Game is nothing short of a George V. Higgins masterpiece.
