![]() ![]() ![]() This is Gomez's first novel she is a poet and the author of Flamingoes and Bears. Gomez provides an unusual twist to the erotic vampire novel, introducing issues of race and sexual preference, but there is no attempt to address these issues except as fodder for an ultimately uninteresting romance novel. The Gilda Stories can be used as a focal point for discussion of important lesbian feminist issues through its feminized focus on blood in a vampire novel, with how Gilda’s character is situated in vampiric sexuality, and with how through Gilda, Gomez flips racial and gendered stereotypes for barrier release. The winner of two Lambda Literary Awards (fiction and science fiction) The Gilda Stories is a very American odyssey. Subsequent lives take Gilda to California in 1890, Missouri in 1921, Massachusetts in 1955, New York in 1981 where she does a stint as a cabaret singer, and into the future in New Hampshire in 2020 and up to the year 2050. Rescued and adopted by Gilda, a vampire who runs a brothel, she soon becomes a vampire herself and adopts Gilda's name. In her first life, she is a runaway slave in Louisiana in 1850, not yet a vampire, not yet named, who stabs a rapist/bounty hunter in self-defense. ![]() Throughout her lives, Gilda is a woman of African descent with strong feminist traits and a sense of loyalty to her friends and family, both mortal and immortal. The central character of this multiracial, feminist, lesbian vampire romance fantasy travels through time and leads multiple lives. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I heard his cleaning lady found him on the bathroom floor-naked.

In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy. ![]() But what appears to be a straightforward crime spirals into a complex counterfeiting operation, with a powerful enemy at its heart. He enlists the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. To prove his loyalty to his sister and salvage his reputation, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds. Then a hunting party goes terribly awry, and Kadou finds himself under suspicion of attempted murder. Yet he remains at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court - the father of the queen's new child.

The principal topical allusions in Macbeth for most Stratfordians-but not all-are to the 1605 Powder Treason or Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament and to the subsequent trial of a Jesuit priest, not only for treason but for equivocation, i.e. Under examination, however, their arguments fail to convince. Instead, with a few notable exceptions, they have argued that there are many topical allusions to events in England that date the play to 1606, three years after James VI of Scotland became King of England. Generally, Shakespeare scholars today simply pay no attention to the firsthand knowledge of Scotland that is demonstrated in Macbeth. Six of these scholars, however, unwittingly provide much of the evidence supporting Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of Oxford, as the true author of Macbeth. Shake off this downy sleep, death’s counterfeit,Ī review of historical documents and topical allusions in Macbeth shows that the author knew a great deal about Scotland and that he knew it long before 1606, which orthodox scholars argue was the year it was written by William Shakspere of Stratford-on-Avon.

As time has passed and as yoga asana has evolved, we see that many of the poses are interpreted differently than how they are given in Light on Yoga. Light on Yoga, often touted as a definitive resource for yoga teachers and practitioners is even sometimes hailed as “The Bible of Modern Hatha Yoga” and yet this gem of a book is often hard to penetrate, difficult to understand and even more challenging to apply our own practice and to the students we see right in front of us in our classes.Ĭracking the Code is a course for practitioners and teachers who want to learn how to use Light on Yoga as a manual for practice and teaching. The primary premise of the course is that there is a wealth of information in Light on Yoga that is not always evident at first (or even 5th or 50th) glance. ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.

However funny and entertaining, though, know that Big Swiss is also an intimate and often disturbing portrait of mental illness, infidelity, and trauma. I laughed out loud on every other page, rolled my eyes at the pervasive hipster things Big Swiss pokes fun at, and thoroughly enjoyed the quirky atmosphere. Honestly, it was unlike anything else I’ve ever read. It’s utterly shocking, absolutely hysterical, and beautifully cynical. Big Swiss is the sort of strange and beautiful novel that you have to read to believe.What booksellers are saying about Big Swiss I showed up with donuts, and then ate all the donuts.” ―Jen Beagin, Interview, Bloom They could clean three houses and still go to the gym and out to dinner. They appreciated the meditative aspects of cleaning. They were always offering me fruit, and I was like, Get away from me with your disgusting bananas.
