Описание: "The Gilded Edgeis a compelling read from start to finish. Gripping, suspenseful, cinematic. This is narrative nonfiction at its best."--Lindsey Fitzharris, bestselling author ofThe Butchering ArtAstonishingly well written, painstakingly researched, and set in the evocative locations of earthquake-ravaged San Francisco and the Monterey Peninsula, the true story of two women--a wife and a poet--who learn the high price of sexual and artistic freedom in a vivid depiction of the debauchery of the late Gilded Age Nora May French and Carrie Sterling arrive at Carmel-by-the-Sea at the turn of the twentieth century with dramatically different ambitions. Nora, a stunning, brilliant, impulsive writer in her early twenties, seeks artistic recognition and Bohemian refuge among the most celebrated counterculturalists of the era. Carrie, long-suffering wife of real estate developer George Sterling, wants the opposite: a semblance of the stability she thought her advantageous marriage would offer, threatened now that her philandering husband has taken to writing poetry. After her second abortion, Nora finds herself in a desperate situation but is rescued by an invitation to stay with the Sterlings. To Carrie's dismay, George and the arrestingly beautiful poetess fall instantly into an affair. The ensuing love triangle, which ultimately ends with the deaths of all three, is more than just a wild love story and a fascinating forgotten chapter. It questions why Nora May--in her day a revered poet whose nationally reported suicide gruesomely inspired youths across the country to take their own lives, with her verses in their pockets no less--has been rendered obscure by literary history. It depicts America at a turning point, as the Gilded Age groans in its death throes and young people, particularly women, look toward a brighter, more egalitarian future. In an unfortunately familiar development, this vision proves to be a mirage. But women's rage at the scam redefines American progressivism forever. For readers of Nathalia Holt, Denise Kiernan, and Sonia Purnell, this shocking history with a feminist bite is not to be missed.

Описание: Leave this book on your coffee table and I guarantee your girlfriend will blush!
Typically, erotica is aligned with the spirit of romance novels-dramatic and emotional with watered-down descriptions of sex. However, in the tradition of erotica written by men, such as the Marquis de Sade, this book contains more mechanical, visual descriptions of sex with less melodrama.
Author Prendergast reveals erotic thoughts and dreams within the most random characters--a single mother, a priest, a French art historian, a goth teenager, an exotic voodoo-practicing duchess, an uptight English barrister, and a sassy black nurse. All of these combine to make for an enjoyable, genuine read with subtle humor and fun, sexy encounters.
In the opening story, "Birth of a Slut," Prendergast begins hard and bold with a group of basketball players pulling a double train on two hot, fit college girls. One is a sweet, loyal "good girl" whose man has recently cheated on her, while the other is an inimitable slut, the amazing, sexually-insatiable Katie who is both disarmingly charming and shamelessly promiscuous. Read only this first story, wanker, and you will be hooked.

Описание:
The Incompleteness Book is the result of a call for contributions to the theme: the incompleteness of human experience. The call was distributed in
April 2020, amidst the global pandemic of COVID-19. The collection takes an interest in the relationship between the haunting incompleteness of human experience and short form writing. This, together with the unforeseen challenges of COVID-19, as well as the lure of coming together as writers, is the impetus for the book. The submissions are aimed at capturing our individual and collective experience as a composite picture. The contributions were collected in just nine days. This project was generously supported by the Australasian Association of Writing Programs (AAWP), the peak academic
body representing the discipline of Creative Writing in Australasia.
