Julitta Sinclair is a teen with a complicated past and a soon to be complicated future. During a family vacation in France, her mother Chanel disappears under mysterious circumstances. Her father Joseph leaves Julitta with his mother Marie, an island medicine woman whose shop is called A Soul in Need. On a hot Halloween afternoon, Marie approaches three mysterious strangers after she notices them staring at her shop. The men offer to find Chanel if Marie will capture the Nefarious Nine -evil spirits who've escaped from hell. Marie realizes that the visitors are demons, and refuses to help; yet she's tricked into signing a contract anyway. Because she was tricked, Marie stubbornly disregards her obligation to the devil, opting instead to care for Julitta and her shop. But when Marie becomes desperately ill, a dying Marie tells Julitta about the contract, Julitta finds the demons and make them a new offer. If they'll give Marie more time, Julitta and Niko will capture the Nine

Frank O'Hara's New York School and Mid-Century Mannerism

Frank O'Hara's New York School & Mid-Century Mannerism offers a ground-breaking account of the poet Frank O'Hara and the extraordinary cultural blossoming O'Hara catalysed, namely the mid-century experimental and multi-disciplinary arts scene, the New York School. Fresh accounts of canonical figures (Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, George Balanchine, Fred Astaire) and original work on those too little discussed (Edwin Denby, Elaine de Kooning) resound with analysis of queer iconology from Michelangelo's David to James Dean. Sam Ladkin argues that O'Hara and the New York School revive Mannerism. Turning away from interpretations of O'Hara's Transcendentalism, Romanticism, or pastoralism, ...

Modernism and the Nativist Resistance

The first comprehensive English-language study of literary trends in the fiction of Taiwan over the last forty years, this pioneering work explores a rich tradition of literary Modernism in its shifting relationship with Chinese politics and culture. Situating her subject in its historical context, Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang traces the connection between Taiwan's Modernists and the liberal scholars of pre-Communist China. She discusses the Modernists' ambivalent relationship with contemporary Taiwan's conservative culture, and provides a detailed critical survey of the strife between the Modernists and the socialistically inclined, anti-Western Nativists. Chang's approach is comprehensive, comb...

Cervantes's Novel of Modern Times

This book offers a radically new reading of Don Quijote, understanding it as a whole much greater than the sum of its famous parts. David Quint discovers a unified narrative and deliberate thematic design in a novel long taught as the very definition of the picaresque and as a rambling succession of individual episodes. Quint shows how repeated motifs and verbal details link the episodes, often in surprising and heretofore unnoticed ways. Don Quijote emerges as a work that charts and reflects upon the historical transition from feudalism to the modern times of a moneyed, commercial society. In Part One of the novel, this change is measured in a shift in the nature of erotic desire, and we fi...
