Samuel R. Delany

Wesleyan, 1998

The best of the "New Wave"
While many of the "New Wave" science fiction writers of the 1960s did little more than adapt long-dead literary styles to their own work (as John Brunner, in "Stand on Zanzibar" adapted the style of John Dos Passos), Delany forged a new style of his own, telling a science fiction story through the creative use of ancient and modern myth. Warning--this is not a book for a lazy reader or a slow ...

Inner Experience (Suny Series : Intersections : Philosophy and Critical Theory)

Georges Bataille, Leslie A. Boldt

State University of New York Press, 1988

Inner Experience
In this book Bataille shows how "project" -- the realm of work not just physical but also the incessant discourse running through one's interior mind -- is a prison, a prison based upon our inauthentic interaction with the world: one puts everything off until later, one lives in a "hazy illusion". But this viel can be broken, says Bataille, through the dynamic ground of non-knowledge, the ...

Arts, Theology, And The Church: New Intersections

3 reviews

Pilgrim Press, 2005

Artfully done...
In one of the essays in this interesting and engaging collection, Frank Burch Brown admits that some of the topics discussed in this volume 'have a limited appeal to most of the world'. This same statement can be made of many things in academia, or indeed anywhere else. However, Brown then goes on to cite a litany of cases in which the topics under consideration have practical, and sometimes ...

The Intersection of Law and Desire: The Third Micky Knight Mystery (Micky Knight Mystery Series)

J.M. Redmann

Bywater Books, 2004

Sans Pereil
The Intersection of Law and Desire This is a hefty book. I liked the weight of it before I even read the first page. When I finished it, I found that it had another kind of weight. I like books that have a lot going on in them, and this one is very busy. There's the plot: it's involved and twisty and dark, just like a good private detective novel should be. There's the setting: New ...

Tom Breen

Baylor University Press, 2008

What a clever man this Breen fellow is
One need not be among the ranks of the faithful to enjoy Tom Breen's fun and incredibly witty examination of where modern Christianity and pop culture meet. Though he is clearly erudite and extremely well-versed in his subject matter, he is careful never to drift into dry territory, helpfully aided by his endearingly anti-intellectual and utterly unreliable narrator - a character he executes ...
