The Heart Ages, But It Doesn't Grow Old
Advance Praise for The Heart Ages, But It Doesn't Grow Old Steven C. Scheer's stories move us back and forth with questions about life and death, time and eternity, sex and love, and organically weave their tales around us. Scheer's enthusiasm for life penetrates every page of his work, and his metaphysical musings remain with us long after the eye leaves the pages and the book is returned to the shelf. - John William McMullen, author of Poor Souls and other novels. Steven C. Scheer's stories masterfully explore the nuances and metaphysics that make up life. From memories of the carnal melee of impetuous youth to the quiet reflections of impending old age, his irreverent honesty and seasoned wit enliven our hearts and rehabilitate the happy child that still gambols inside each of us. - Daniel McCasoway, author of Letters from Eden and the forthcoming Seventh Illumination of Kefram Andemov.
Pious Impostures and Unproven Words
Pious Impostures and Unproven Words applies deconstruction to nineteenth-century American romances and to the concept of the traditional liberal arts education. Offering new readings of such American classics as The Scarlet Letter and Huckleberry Finn, this volume shows that deconstruction is not necessarily antagonistic to traditional readings of literary texts. By establishing a clear relationship between deconstruction and the concept of a liberal arts education, Pious Impostures reveals that though deconstruction (as such) is 'new, ' its most useful and usable tenets reach all the way back to the Bible and clearly overlap certain medieval and romantic ideas. Contents: Preface; Introduction; The Fact/Fiction Hierarchy Revisited; Errors of Truth: Deconstruction in The Scarlet Letter; The Subversive Lie of Expedient Truth in Pierre: Or The Ambiguities; Real Lies and Fictitious Truths in Huckleberry Finn
Hollywood Values
Have you ever felt that while you and your friends watched the same movie, you didn't really see the same movie? Have you ever wondered why so many people see so many different things in movies? A few years ago I had an opportunity to hear Michael Medved, the author of Hollywood vs. America (1992), in person. In the question-and-answer period after his lecture he happened to call Titanic (1997) a corrupt movie because, as he said, it shows that all an old woman remembers late in her life is the fact that when she was young "she got laid in the back seat of a car." At that time I haven't seen the movie yet, but some instinct told me that there must be more to the story than that. Sure enough,...
Screening Scripture
An intertextual examination of popular films and scripture.
The Figure of the Road
The Figure of the Road examines the metaphor of the road, way, or path in works of representative humanities disciplines (literature, religion, philosophy, visual art, popular culture) to show how writers and artists anticipated the dilemma known to contemporary deconstruction as the «aporia» or «pathless place.» This tradition exposes the solution advocated in Derrida's late thought - the search for the «tout autre» - as a negative theology and suppression of writing's freedom to allegorize these insoluble problems. The Figure of the Road concludes by tracing the bleak, Beckett-like implications of this freedom for curriculum and ethics in a world understood as wholly figural.
Mark Twain Under Fire

Joyful Voices
Dual-Voice poetry written in English and Hindi languages. Dual-voice poetry is written for two people to perform. The poem usually has two or three columns. Each person reads one of the columns. Sometimes, the poet wants the two readers to say something at the same time; so the poet writes the words on the same line in each column. These poems often sound like a dialogue, two monologues merged together, concluding towards a common ground. Cover Image courtesy: Ryan McGuire from Pixabay
