Treasure desires nothing more than pure love from her Sugar Daddy but she is starting to see that he has deep-rooted, dangerous fetishes that go beyond greed and lust. This is a season when men hold the key to every door and the weak will do anything to be part of the elite circle. But sometimes it proves not to be the city of freedom, while the city lights glitter, many are roped into the dark underground world of the rich and powerful.

In Heroines, Zambreno extends the polemic begun on her blog into a dazzling, original work of literary scholarship. Over the course of two years, Frances Farmer Is My Sister helped create a community where today’s “toxic girls” could devise a new feminist discourse, writing in the margins and developing an alternative canon. Widely reposted, Zambreno’s blog became an outlet for her highly informed and passionate rants about the fates of the modernist “wives and mistresses.” In her blog entries, Zambreno reclaimed the traditionally pathologized biographies of Vivienne Eliot, Jane Bowles, Jean Rhys, and Zelda Fitzgerald: writers and artists themselves who served as male writers’ muses only to end their lives silenced, erased, and institutionalized. On the last day of December, 2009 Kate Zambreno began a blog called Frances Farmer Is My Sister, arising from her obsession with the female modernists and her recent transplantation to Akron, Ohio, where her husband held a university job. I have been reading a few poems by Wordsworth and it felt so delightful. This is mentioned, not with so ridiculous a purpose as to prevent the most inexperienced Reader from judging for himself, (I have already said that I wish him to judge for himself ) but merely to temper the rashness of decision, and to suggest, that, if Poetry be a subject on which much time has not been bestowed, the judgment may be erroneous and that in many cases it necessarily will be so. This is not only an act of justice, but in our decisions upon poetry especially, may conduce in a high degree to the improvement of our own taste: for an accurate taste in poetry, and in all the other arts, as Sir Joshua Reynolds has observed, is an acquired talent, which can only be produced by thought and a long continued intercourse with the best models of composition. If an Author by any single composition has impressed us with respect for his talents, it is useful to consider this as affording a presumption, that, on other occasions where we have been displeased, he nevertheless may not have written ill or absurdly and, further, to give him so much credit for this one composition as may induce us to review what has displeased us with more care than we should otherwise have bestowed upon it. That may not sound original in 2018, but back in 1984, villains as protagonists was mind-blowing. Never an especially good bunch of guys, by the book’s end, several important members of the company have grasped the awfulness of their employer and have started to have second thoughts about remaining in her pay. Assassinations, intrigue between world-shaking sorcerers, and massive battles unfurl in a world notable mostly for its corruption, constant deceit, and an assumption that nothing ever really goes right. Her empire has risen up in rebellion against her and her minions, the Nazgul Taken. The setup of the novel is this: a mercenary company unknowingly signs on to the service of Sauron’s wife the Lady, a great and powerful sorceress. Several of Cook’s other books are better written, better plotted, and more cohesive than The Black Company, but none of them has left as indelible a mark on me as this one. It turned out to be the first book in what eventually grew into a ten book series (eleven actually, as the first new Black Company book in eighteen years, Port of Shadows, is to be published in September) and one of my favorite works of epic fantasy. In 1984, my friend Carl tossed me a copy of The Black Company (1984), a book I’d end up rereading half a dozen times over the next thirty-five years. You never know, when you pick up a book, the impact it will have on your life. Our traditions and memories live only in these Annals. We are the last of the Free Companies of Khatovar. Maybe you came to that book entirely alone and late in life and wished you had come to it younger, without so many of your scars maybe you still sometimes wonder about the kind of person you might have become if you’d found its pages back then. Maybe someone who loved you (a parent, a teacher, a librarian) gave you the book, with all the ceremony of an heirloom being passed down, extending a hand to save you because he or she, too, had once been saved in that way. Do you remember how old you were when you first read a book that had a character in it who looked and lived like you? Maybe the first book you read was like that and every book after it and you’ve never had to wonder about finding someone like yourself or the people who made you in books you’ve always been right there at the center, unquestioned. 0 Ratings 0 Want to read 0 Currently reading 0 Have read Madman, Volume 4.

Janet Ellen Morris (born May 25, 1946) is a United States author. A riveting account of Mandan history, landscapes, and people, Fenn's narrative is enriched and enlivened not only by science and research but by her own encounters at the heart of the world. The damage wrought by imported diseases like smallpox and the havoc caused by the arrival of horses and steamboats were tragic for the Mandans, yet, as Fenn makes clear, their sense of themselves as a people with distinctive traditions endured. Recent archaeological discoveries show how these Native American people thrived, and then how they collapsed. By 1500, more than twelve thousand Mandans were established on the northern Plains, and their commercial prowess, agricultural skills, and reputation for hospitality became famous. Winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for History Encounters at the Heart of the World concerns the Mandan Indians, iconic Plains people whose teeming, busy towns on the upper Missouri River were for centuries at the center of the North American universe. Her boldly original interpretation of these diverse research findings offers us a new perspective on early American history, a new interpretation of the American past. Fenn retrieves their history by piecing together important new discoveries in archaeology, anthropology, geology, climatology, epidemiology, and nutritional science. We know of them mostly because Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1804-1805 with them, but why don't we know more? Who were they really? In this extraordinary book, Elizabeth A.

I recently contributed a novella to digital romance series Drumbeats, from Kenya’s Storymoja – but why are large publishers in Uganda still sleeping? Fellow panelist Melissa Kyeyune runs small press Khamel, and already makes 500 dollars a month for her own books. Yet e-publishing offers a greatly reduced financial risk when putting out a book, and a potentially huge market – which some publishers are already tapping into. The major Ugandan publishers profit from supplying print books to the education system digital books, which they cannot sell to the government, mean nothing to them. So why haven’t mainstream Ugandan publishers embraced digital books? I built my writing career on digital platforms, so when they asked me to participate in a panel discussion on the rise of digital literature and publishing, at the recent Uganda International Creative Writers Conference, I begun asking questions about the book business today.
