Coming Undone
Dan Weston is a simple, hard working family man. That quickly and violently changes when he is forced to watch the senseless murder of his wife and child at the hands of demons hiding in human form. As the man/demon responsible toys with Weston as if he were a simple pawn, Weston swears a vow of vengeance on all of the demon kind. With nothing left to lose, he immerses himself in the dangerous world of preternatural creatures. On his quest to find some inner peace, Weston begrudgingly accepts help from the beautiful demon, Lucy. He finds comfort in conversations with an old war vet and Weston's longtime friend, Father Robert tries to right Weston's sinking ship of morality. In a battle that seems to be stacked against Weston, he fights not only for the memory of his wife and child, but also to keep from losing his humanity and becoming a monster himself.

Alternating between chapters that analyse single texts that were popular (Albert Camus's Th...
Transdisciplinary Beckett
This is the first monograph to analyse Beckett’s use of the visual arts, music, and broadcasting media through a transdisciplinary approach. It considers how Beckett’s complex and varied use of art, music, and media in a selection of his novels, radio plays, teleplays, and later short prose informs his creative process. Investigating specific instances where Beckett’s writing adopts musical or visual structures, Lucy Jeffery identifies instances of Beckett’s transdisciplinarity and considers how this approach to writing facilitates ways of expressing familiar Beckettian themes of abstraction, ambiguity, longing, and endlessness. With case studies spanning forty years, she evaluates B...
Telling America's Story to the World
Telling America's Story to the World argues that state and state-affiliated cultural diplomacy contributed to the making of postwar US literature. Highlighting the role of liberal internationalism in US cultural outreach, Harilaos Stecopoulos contends that the state mainly sent authors like Ralph Ellison, Robert Frost, William Faulkner, Langston Hughes, and Maxine Hong Kingston overseas not just to demonstrate the achievements of US civilization but also to broadcast an American commitment to international cross-cultural connection. Those writers-cum-ambassadors may not have helped the state achieve its propaganda goals-indeed, this rarely proved the case-but they did find their assignments ...
