The stunning sequel to the award-winning novel One Thousand White Women: A Novel."Clever and satisfying...Fergus is a superb writer and] the characters are as real as any pioneer women who braved the rigors of westering." --The Denver Post "A gripping tale, a history lesson infused with both sadness at the violence perpetuated against the Cheyenne and awe at the endurance of this remarkable group of women." --Booklist, starred review9 March 1876 My name is Meggie Kelly and I take up this pencil with my twin sister, Susie. We have nothing left, less than nothing. The village of our People has been destroyed, all our possessions burned, our friends butchered by the soldiers, our baby daughters gone, frozen to death on an ungodly trek across these rocky mountains. Empty of human feeling, half-dead ourselves, all that remains of us intact are hearts turned to stone. We curse the U.S. government, we curse the Army, we curse the savagery of mankind, white and Indian alike. We curse God in his heaven. Do not underestimate the power of a mother's vengeance... So begins the Journal of Margaret Kelly, a woman who participated in the U.S. government's "Brides for Indians" program in 1873, a program whose conceit was that the way to peace between the United States and the Cheyenne Nation was for One Thousand White Woman to be given as brides in exchange for three hundred horses. These "brides" were mostly fallen women; women in prison, prostitutes, the occasional adventurer, or those incarcerated in asylums. No one expected this program to work. And the brides themselves thought of it simply as a chance at freedom. But many of them fell in love with their Cheyenne spouses and had children with them...and became Cheyenne themselves. The Vengeance of Mothers explores what happens to the bonds between wives and husbands, children and mothers, when society sees them as "unspeakable." What does it mean to be white, to be Cheyenne, and how far will these women go to avenge the ones they love? With vivid detail and keen emotional depth, Jim Fergus brings to light a time and place in American history and fills it with unforgettable characters who live and breathe with a passion we can relate to even today.

London Underground Serial Killer: The Life of Kieran Kelly

London Underground Serial Killer: The Life of Kieran Kelly

The full story of the life and times of Kieran Patrick Kelly, the London Underground Serial Killer, who wandered up and down the Northern Line of the London Underground between 1960 and 1983, pushing innocent people that he had never met under trains, and who finished up killing over thirty people. The book provides a full biography of Kelly, discussing the details of his crimes, his victims and his ability to evade justice; he managed to secure mistrials or acquittals in twenty-five trials before being eventually convicted and sentenced to die to prison, which he did in Durham, in 2001. It could be argued that Kelly is the most investigated serial killer in the history of the world. His murders were investigated as they occurred between 1953 and 1983; they were re-investigated in 1983 and again in 2015. The author of this book played major roles in the two latter enquiries, conducting the entire enquiry in 1983 and acting as a consultant to the 2015 enquiry. More is known about Kelly than any other serial killer in history.He was arrested before he had finished killing, then murdered his cellmate in the police station and was interviewed by the author ten minutes after this final murder, before spending the next two years discussing his crimes and his motivations with the author. The end result is a truly unique insight into the mind of a serial killer!

When longtime gay couple Jake and Kelly vowed to live out loud together forever, they didn't mean with decibel-defying shrieks and banging heads. However, raising Jake's autistic nephew, Chance, throws a maddening monkey wrench into their perfectly appointed life. Can the three come together under one little roof as a thoroughly modern family, even in the face of unbridled, unimaginable chaos? Second Chance: Book One in the Jake and Kelly Series is the hilarious, heartwarming novel about an altogether different sort of domestic partnership between two committed men and a confounding new addition to the house. After creating a world that is the paragon of peaceful living, Jake and Kelly must now grapple with a new order in the form of a terrifying, tiny child who spins, rocks, and wakes up throughout the night. Not only that, but Chance also demonstrates a head-scratching devotion to a televangelist named Sister Opal and meticulously lines up shoes and Mr. Potato Heads. After first abandoning her son with his father, Chance's mother, Crystal, has chosen to again wriggle loose of a maternal bond. This time, she elects instead to follow her bliss with Desert Wind, a hallucinogen-hopped-up shaman. Regardless, this Don Juan wannabe inspires an enthusiasm in Crystal that threatens to upend everything she knows. For one thing, the path to greater enlightenment will not accommodate her four-year-old son, who winds up in the care of her brother Jake and his partner, Kelly. How do you coerce a pint-sized child to sample something other than the likes of potato chips? How can you create a dialogue with someone whose favorite spoken phrase is "For Christ's sake, Anne," which he picked up from his grandpa's repeated exchange with his grandmother? How can you talk deportment with a kid who has yet to be toilet trained? Kelly, who is a teacher with a severe hearing impairment, embraces the challenge of Chance's autism with a professional fervor. Jake, however, craves a life that is next to normal, and profoundly regrets allowing his parents to move his nephew into this home. Meanwhile, his sister forges deeper into her New Age odyssey with Desert Wind, the burned-out Norwegian druggie with highly questionable shaman credentials. Just because he is one-eighth Apache does not mean his powers aren't half-baked. As Kelly introduces ingenious new ways to communicate with Chance, and Jake tries to get over himself, it looks like the young child might get a second chance at happiness after all. But will Crystal snap out of it and get a similar second chance at motherhood? Find out in this refreshing, irreverent look at love from all sides. Anyone who delights in quirky characters, inventive plots, and bold new literary voices will find a rollicking, meaningful read in Second Chance: Book One in the Jake and Kelly Series. Everyone deserves a second chance, and it is all the more enriching when accompanied by laughter. Readers will find plenty of heart and humor in this charming, lovable story of one wonderfully nutty family.

Classical Myth in Alfred Hitchcock's Wrong Man and Grace Kelly Films

Classical Myth in Alfred Hitchcock's Wrong Man and Grace Kelly Films

Mark William Padilla

Lexington Books
2018
sidottu
Mark Padilla’s classical reception readings of Alfred Hitchcock features some of the director’s most loved and important films, and demonstrates how they are informed by the educational and cultural classicism of the director’s formative years. The six close readings begin with discussions of the production histories, so as to theorize and clarify how classicism could and did enter the projects. Exploration of the films through a classical lens creates the opportunity to explore new themes and ideological investments. The result is a further appreciation of both the engine of the director’s storytelling creativity and the expressionism of classicism, especially Greek myth and art, in British and American modernism. The analysis organizes the material into two triptychs, one focused on the three films sharing a wrong man pattern (wrongly accused man goes on the run to clear himself), the other treating the films starring the actress Grace Kelly. Chapter One, on The 39 Steps (1935), finds the origins of the wrong man plot in early 20th-century British classicism, and demonstrates that the movie utilizes motifs of Homer’s Odyssey. Chapter Two, on Saboteur (1942), theorizes the impact of the director’s memories of the formalism and myths associated with the Parthenon sculptures housed in the British Museum. Chapter Three, on North by Northwest, participates in the myths of the hero Oedipus, as associated with early Greek epic, Freud, Nietzsche, and Sophocles. Chapter Four, on Dial M for Murder (1954), returns to Homer’s Odyssey in the interpretive use of “the lay of Demodocus,” a story about the sexual triangle of Hephaestus, Aphrodite, and Ares. Chapter Five, on Rear Window (1954), finds its narrative archetype in The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite; the erotic theme of Sirius, the Dog Star, also marks the film. Chapter Six, on To Catch a Thief (1955), offers the opportunity to break from mythic analogues, and to consider the film’s philosophical resonances (Plato and Epicurus) in the context of motifs coalesced around the god Dionysus/Bacchus.

Mike "King" Kelly was the hard-living, hard-drinking son of a Civil War veteran whose skills at baseball and infectious charm turned him into the game's first hero, and a symbol of what it meant to be a celebrity in America in the 1880s and 1890s. Slide, Kelly, Slide reacquaints baseball fans and scholars with this little-known pioneer of the game. Marty Appel, the author of several baseball books, conducted a thorough search of local archives to bring the story of King Kelly to light and place him in his proper historical context. An innovator on the field, who was not above taking advantage of the only umpire running the game, Kelly touched many aspects of American culture while a ballplayer. He was the first player to sign autographs, and wrote the game's first autobiography. A Hall of Famer and a two-time batting champion, Kelly's greatest contribution was the popularity that he brought to the game. Slide, Kelly, Slide will truly delight.
