Forbidden love is an art all its ownLondon, 1886Barkeep Warren Bakshi is happy with the secrets that he keeps--those of the patrons he serves at underground queer club The Curious Fox, and his own.But when Warren's long-lost brother returns, bringing unexpected wealth to the Bakshi family, his elevated status requires more dignified pursuits. An art class seems an ideal way to keep questions at bay, until it reunites him with the subject of his recent fantasies--a man Warren's boss has expressly forbidden him to pursue.Detective Inspector Matthew Shaw has brought some of London's worst criminals to justice. With laws against homosexuality on the books, meeting Warren could detonate his undercover case--and his career. But when his artistic deficiencies prove a greater threat than his desire, Warren is the only person he can turn to for help.Private drawing tutorials give way to an affair that may put more than their jobs in jeopardy.

From cinema’s silent beginnings, fashion and interior design have been vital to character development and narrative structure. Despite spectacular technological advancements on screen, stunning silhouettes and striking spaces still have the ability to dazzle to dramatic effect. This book is the first to consider the significant interplay between fashion and interiors and their combined contribution to cinematic style from early film to the digital age.With examples from Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architecture in Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, to Coco Chanel’s costumes for Gloria Swanson and a Great Gatsby film-set turned Ralph Lauren flagship, Cinematic Style describes the reciprocal relationship between these cultural forms. Exposing the bleeding lines between fashion and interiors in cinematic and real-life contexts, Berry presents case studies of cinematic styles adopted as brand identities and design movements promoted through filmic fantasy.Shedding light on consumer culture, social history and gender politics as well as on fashion, film and interior design theory, Cinematic Style considers the leading roles domestic spaces, quaint cafes, little black dresses and sharp suits have played in 20th and 21st-century film.

Poetry and Emergent Worlds: American Lyric and the Unmaking of Childhood
Poetry and Emergent Worlds explores how some of the most innovative strategies, forms and themes in postwar American poetry are concerned with ideas of the child and with childishness. The book offers a survey of the relationship between poetry, childhood and sexuality in a range of 20th and 21st-century American poets. Drawing upon the latest perspectives from psychoanalytic and queer theories of the child, the book demonstrates the extent to which the child stands as a central figure in our thinking about American culture and to its poetic traditions in particular. The book examines work by a range of postwar American poets, from Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery, James Schuyler and Joe Brainard to Claudia Rankine, micha c rdenas and Andrea Brady.

When the sisters threaten to destroy all of humanity after their purpose is hindered by Zeus himself, the goddess Athena charges them with the protection of justice instead, and throughout the ages they do just that. Blending in with mortals, they are successful in solving terrible crimes through the centuries, bringing the worst of humanity to justice. That is, until the autumn of 1888, London. A vicious butcher is terrorizing the Whitechapel district, and it will take all of the Furies' experience and cunning to stop the murderer the notorious Jack the Ripper to get retribution for the poor souls he slaughtered.
