Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. From the delightfully idiosyncratic imagination of Quentin S. Crisp comes an exquisite post-pastoral novella about an encounter with mystery. The Hermitage is the story of a secret half-revealed, an epiphany half-realized. Join the narrator as he pursues a chimera from the green heart of England to the grey modernity of urban sprawl. A young mans solitary pilgrimage to a tiny West Country church, a journey ostensibly inspired by the literary figure Sabine Baring-Gould, eccentric librettist of Onward Christian Soldiers, turns into a semi-mystical experience when the pilgrim, responding to some obscure prompting of the soul, stops at the old sacristy, now known as the Hermitage. Here he learns something of the long history of the church and of its strange revival after years of desertion and ruin. More significantly, he learns of the troubled, yet obscurely fulfilled life of Old Mazy Parkin, who acts as sacristan, and how the homeless tramp became a hermit.Many years later, living next to a busy T-Junction, inured to the hum of electrical devices and the incessant wailing of sirens, the narrator reflects on how the pilgrimage shaped his expectations and on the course his life has since taken. What was the meaning of the silence that Mazy Parkin faced but that he, the pilgrim, could not? The Hermitage is a story of a secret half revealed, an epiphany half realized. The pursues a chimera from the green heart of England to the grey modernity of urban sprawl. A young man's solitary pilgrimage to a tiny West Country church turns into a semi-mystical experience when the pilgrim stops at the hermit sacristan's residence. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. As the hyperliberal breakaway Republic of Western Australia faces a catastrophic birthrate collapse, the state rewrites the rules of intimacy. Its boldest policy: mother-leader-father-labourer households, where multiple women employ a single man to father and raise their children.Martina, a high-achieving Perth lawyer, has everything except the family she once imagined. Drawn to the promise of motherhood without sacrifice, she joins three other ambitious women Eloise, Ynes, and Sophia in a shared home centered around Luke, their designated father-labourer. At first, this works. Then it doesnt.What begins as a tale of administrative girlboss empowerment slowly becomes a study of desire, power, jealousy, and emotional dependency. The Stud reveals that no political system, however progressive or rational, can eliminate the unpredictability of human relationships.The Stud is a cool work of post-transgressive fiction that combines the clinical banalities of Bret Easton Ellis with the wry pathos of Michel Houellebecq, probing the societal death throes of our present-future age of anxiety and uncertainty.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. With contributions by Blake Smith, Roger Lancaster, David Moulton, Stephen Adubato, Amir Naaman, Ran Heilbrunn, Pierre d'Alancaisez, Travis Jeppesen, Oliver Davis, Yotam Feldman, and Marcas Lancaster. Today's world of PrEP, Pride parades, and gay marriage eclipses the wildest dreams of the sexual revolution. While it was formerly deviant to promote gay lifestyles, it is now 'problematic' to suggest that not all departures from the norm are in the homosexual's best interest. Amidst this excess, a new wave of discontentment rises among the once-keenest proponents of sexual progress: gay men. What happened in the transition from inversion to homosexuality, gayness, and queerness? Why do some gay men lament the freedoms afforded to them by sexual and social acceptance? Bold and daring, the essays in Inversion reflect on the vicious cycle of debasement, acceptance, sacrifice, and liberation that homosexuality has been stuck in for longer than it wishes to acknowledge. As gay culture fails to confront its history, it adopts hollow narratives of struggle. Some gay men fear losing their freedoms, some advocate for sexual restraint, while others, lost in the ever-expanding LGBTQIA+ 'community, ' continue to make maximalist ideological demands of those outside. These responses mark a fracture in gay life. If there is some essence to homosexual desire, how is it being served by today's gay culture and queer politics? Has the gay man - homosexual, queer, or inverted - rendered himself obsolete? Bringing together contributions by eleven leading thinkers, theorists, and critics who examine the consequences of pink-washing history, denial of sexual realities, and the memetic nature of desire, Inversion reclaims homosexuality's lost depth in an era of profound discontent. Fearless in its critique and challenging in its proposals, Inversion considers the cultural and political aspects of gay life after homosexuality as it battles with queerness and the allure of a reactionary return, pharmacologically fueled sexual degeneration, and existential dread.
