The Obie award-winning Sexual Perversity in Chicago "takes funny and painful digs at the fantasies and distances of the contemporary sexual game," according to The New York Times. Two male office workers, Danny and Bernie, are on the make in the swinging singles scene of the early 1970's. Danny meets Deborah in a library and soon they are lovers as well as roommates. The other couple, Bernie and Joan, seem to have the politics of sex down pat but are as confused as their more naive counterparts. After much comic drama, the two men end as they started, talking a good game in the local bar.

Published with The Duck Variations.

Описание: David Mamet has carved out a reputation as one of the most important American dramatists. His hit plays Glengarry Glen Ross and Oleanna have ensured his work forms a staple of Literature and Drama curriculums and anthologies as much as stage revivals, while his work as a film writer/director and writings on acting have cemented his influence. This Critical Companion to Mamet's stage work will prove indispensable to students of Theatre, Film and Literary studies. It provides a survey and analysis of Mamet's plays with a particular and unique emphasis on how the plays work in performance. Works are examined in broadly chronological order, but with the film works considered together in one chapter, a chapter devoted to the one act and shorter plays, and another on the seemingly autobiographical family plays, including Cryptogram and The Old Neighbourhood. Various stage productions are compared alongside film versions to analyse how the work varies in performance.The volume also features four additional essays by practitioners and scholars offering different critical perspectives on the work. As President of the David Mamet Society and having taught Mamet's plays to undergraduates for over thirty years, David Sauer is uniquely qualified to write the definitive companion to the work of this leading dramatist.

Описание: What if a vapid porn star held the key to impeaching the President of the United States? This is her story.

"My frank and loving reminiscence of a life in the hermetic world of Adult Film."

A lifetime of success in the world of Adult Entertainment brought Miss Wriston-Ranger (Leafy) into close contact with the great and near-great of the world, spanning across six continents. She now takes us behind the scenes to mingle with politicians, artists, financiers, and even dictators, at their most unguarded.

"Like the prospectors of the Yukon, we have learned that artistic gold may be discovered in the least likely of places. I love this book."--Cynthia Franton, Dawson Morning Radio, "Let's Talk About Books"

"Like those fantasy flavors so beloved of the Food Trade--the mixture of two common and identifiable ingredients occasioning new culinary experience untraceable to its roots--the combined, though widely disparate, experiences and intuitions of Miss Wriston-Ranger's life create an indefinable delight in the reader."--Joyce Rogers, SPOONREST

"Like Huysmans's rebours, and Colette's Le Pur et l'Impur, and not unlike the poems of Verlaine and Rimbaud, Miss Wriston-Ranger reveals to us the inner cohesiveness of previously unsuspected aspects of our common world."--"Metro," La Semaine Litteraire

"A knockout."--Chris Pullington, Morning Radio, "Spokane Likes to Read"

Описание: This book argues that Western ideas of freedom have become widely accepted in Asia, as the key determinant for measuring a range of legal, ethical and political practices. The book finds that modern conceptions of freedom become adapted to local contexts throughout Asia. It avoids cultural relativism and generalisations, but does find a number of common ideas relating to freedom across the region.
