As both impart their wisdom on the other, each walks away with a different perspective on life and loneliness. Within a collection of short tales, Mary Johnson leads others down an imaginative path that explores the ecstasy and the agony of life examined from an intimate panorama. When a man signs up for a speed dating shindig, he does not expect to find depth and love at first sight. But as he is about to discover, life is full of serendipitous moments. When Orner Thomas receives an in-flight note from his travel companion, Caron, he decides not to open it, taking back control over his destiny. Opal is a makeup artist who holds her lovers at a distance. Now as she ends another soul-tying love affair with yet another transient straggler far from home, Opal reaffirms to herself that she is not responsible for her lovers’ happiness.

When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site ... and the terrifying presence that lurks there.

This stuff isn’t for the faint of heart.” —New York Post “A story so scary you may never want to go on vacation, or dig around in your garden, again.” —USA Today

Book excerpt: “Oddný Eir is an authentic author, philosopher and mystic. She weaves together diaries and fiction. She is the writer I feel can best express the female psyche of now and has bridged the gap between rural Iceland and Western philosophy. A true pioneer!!!!!!!!” —Björk The winner of the Icelandic Women’s Literature Prize in 2012, Land of Love and Ruins is the debut novel by a daring new voice in international fiction: Oddný Eir. Written in the form of a diary but with fantastical linguistic verve, the narrator sets out on a universal quest: to find a place to belong—and a way of being in the world. Paradoxically, her longing to settle down drives her to embark on all kinds of journeys, physical and mental, through time and space, in order to find answers to questions that concern not only her personally, but also the whole of humankind. She explores various modes of living, ponders different types of relationships and contemplates her bond with her family, land and nation; trying to find a balance between companionship and independence, movement and stability, past, present, and future. An enchanting blend of autobiography, diary, philosophical inquiry, and fantasy, Land of Love and Ruins is a richly imagined and utterly unique book about being human in the modern world.

Book Synopsis The Love of Ruins by : Scott Cutler Shershow
Download or read book The Love of Ruins written by Scott Cutler Shershow and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, H. P. Lovecraft is both more popular and controversial than ever: the influence of his "Cthulhu mythos" is everywhere in popular culture, his cosmic pessimism has reemerged as a major theme in contemporary philosophy, and his racism continues to spark controversy in the media. The Love of Ruins takes a fresh look at a figure widely acknowledged as the father of modern horror or "weird" fiction. In these pages, Lovecraft emerges not as the atheist and nihilist he is often claimed to be, but as a kind of "psychonaut" and mystic whose stories, through their own imaginative rigor, expose the intellectual bankruptcy of their author's racism. The Love of Ruins is itself written in the form of letters, in order to do homage to Lovecraft's love of the form of the personal letter (he wrote more than 100,000), and to emulate Lovecraft's lifetime practice of thinking-as-corresponding.
