When Catalina flirts with two young women, "frolicking" and "teasing," it might seem intriguing to read this as lesbianism avant la lettre, an instance of female homosexuality or, at the very least, love play between women. When Catalina de Erauso fights duels, steals money, leads soldiers into battle, rescues a woman in distress, evades the marriage plans of hopeful widows and their daughters, and marches across league upon league of uncharted Peruvian terrain, it is tempting to see in her tale an allegory of early modern woman's emergent subjectivity. "The short answer, of course, is that we can't.” "How can we assess the erotic, social, and political effects of cross-dressing at a remove of almost four centuries, in the context of a culture very different from our own, and as described in a Spanish-language text?" asks Garber. In her introduction to the volume, gender theorist Marjorie Garber focuses the attention of the reader on difficulties of addressing questions of gender and identity in Catalina de Erauso's autobiography. Catalina de Erauso first came to my attention in 1996, when Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite Nun in the New World, translated by Michele Stepto and Gabriel Stepto, was published.

While stories of newly built but empty cities, white elephant state projects, and a byzantine shadow banking system have all become a regular fixture in the press in recent years, McMahon goes beyond the headlines to explain how such waste has been allowed to flourish, and why one of the most powerful governments in the world has been at a loss to stop it. In this unprecedented deep dive, McMahon shows how, lurking behind the illusion of prosperity, China’s economic growth has been built on a staggering mountain of debt.

Men at Arms is a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, the 15th book in the Discworld series, first published in 1993. Somehow even the murders and numerous terrible atrocities he showcases seem soft lit and palatable, although the terror of human life becomes instantly obvious. The stories themselves are brutal and esclaating, but not offesnive. you keep waiting for the resoultion of the moral crises, only to realize the point is to have no clarity from him but to force you to take a side along the way, which feels impossible to avoid. it seems Sommer want to mess with your mind by building up an argument then tearing it down. I've worked with a lot of mental health pros in the past and it seems this book, which was very suspenseful, is really about life. This progresses and you realize this is exactly what the author is going for. In the first book (TMI) you are introduced to a cadre of characters who all seem hapless. I kinda joined with skeptacism becuase I have had bad experiences with these kinds of things before. Then, another friend of mine held a massice book club to raise awareness of the series. Sommer first published manufactured identity in 2009, and I first heard of this book from a friend who had him in Child development last year at ISU. I am still troubled, to be honest by the whole concept, but like a car accident that secretly captivates me, I find myself thinking again and again about the themes in the book. I have just reread this series for the third time. Of course, these comments could pan out to nothing in the end, but it’s always fun to take a deep dive through the vast source material. However, considering the well-traveled detective, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Branagh refitted one of Christie’s stories into a new setting. Myself and Nerdist’s Agatha Christie expert Rosie Knight wracked our brains to think of a Poirot mystery set in Venice to no avail. Most curiously, he shared that the script boasts a post-war Venice setting. So, what to expect? Well, it’s an adaptation of a “lesser-known” novel and is definitely a different tone from the previous films. He shared a few tidbits about the upcoming film, saying Michael Green’s script is complete. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell indicated that a third Poirot movie is on the way-just a few weeks after Death on the Nile’s release. And it looks like he’s taking Bouc with him. Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot franchise is showing no signs of slowing down. They represent what is best about Miami cops, and they taught me some of what it means to do this very tough job in a tougher place. His book would not have been possible without the generous technical and spiritual help of Einstein and the Deacon. Darkly dreaming Dexter : a novel / by Jeffry Lindsay.-1st ed.
