Dostoevskys insight into the predicament of the gambler informs this brilliant contemporary novel by one of Spains most acclaimed authors. For most people, gambling is a legal vice, a brief escape from the monotony of everyday life, a small adventure in tempting fate. But for the gambler, a game of chance if powerfully erotic, even mystical - an enclosed space and time in which he can assume a gods ability to master circumstance. Jorge is just such a gambler. Chance is his passion, his addiction: no woman can match the subtle allure of the gaming tables, the palpable smoothness of dice, the siren song of the slot machine, the husky murmur of the croupier. But his addiction is devouring him, and to kick it he enlists the help of an analyst - Lucia, who is herself a formidably seductive presence. As the two debate, the balance of power begins to shift in a sexually charged battle of wits for the soul of a gambler. Erotic, intelligent, resonant with provocative ideas, DOSTOEVSKYS LAST NIGHT introduces American readers to a vibrant international voice. CRISTINA PERI ROSSI was born in Uruguay and has lived in Spain since 1972. DOSTOEVSKYS LAST NIGHT is her nineteenth published book; her essays, short stories, poems, and novels have been translated into nine languages. She has recently received a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation grant for her work. inventory #31905 ISBN: 0312143222., NY: Fantasy House, 1957. Vol. 13, No. 5. Edited by Anthony Boucher.

I have just finished reading Richard Rodriguez's new book "Brown: The Last Discovery of America", and I am contemplating how long I should wait before beginning it again. Here is a writer worth many readings. His subject and approach invite numerous visits, viewings from varied moods and perspectives. In this, his third book, Mr. Rodrigez's takes as his theme the notion of "brown" as intermingled, mixed, impure and argues that it is the inevitable conclusion of America. Along the way he gives us his reading (a 'brown' reading?) of Richard Nixon, Alexis de Tocqueville, Ben Franklin, the Latin American migration, the persistance of Puritanism, sexual politics, cubism, Melcolm X, Catholism, public space, and the American insistance on authenticy against its impulse for the theatrical. Many of these are themes Mr. Rodriguez has covered before. Here he revisits some familiar themes through the lense of brownness, turning them over by a different light, holding them up to a different horizon. He is a writer of a fugue like repetition, striking humor in one note and discomfort in the next, leaving the reader to follow the argument off the page. He is a writer who does not condescend to his readers with trite resolutions or comforting reassurances. His style is personal and political, contemplative and engaging. He is an excellent stylist of a kind rarely seen today. This is not an easy read. It is a provocative and perplexing tune Mr. Rodriguez carries. He points in directions that he leaves uncharted, exposes personal wounds that he leaves unhealed. He invites us into an uncomfortable space of hanging questions. New readers may find him challanging (some friends have found his style dense or obscure). But if you are looking for an intelligent and engaging converstaion on the meaning of what America is becoming and why undermining of America's very notion of race is inevitable, then I strongly urge you to read this terrific book., Penguin Group: Viking, 2002., New York: Bare Bear Press, 1996. 1st printing. Saddle-stapled comic. Light shelfwear. Very good. 32 pp. plus covers, semi-glossy color covers, b/w interiors. An adult comic containing strong sexual content and violence. A space demon comes to earth to rape women with his tentacles. Heavily based off of Japanese Hentai. The artist is not to be confused with the Eros/ Fantagraphics creator of CYNTHIA PETAL'S REALLY FANTASTIC ALIEN SEX FRENZY! and PRESSED TONGUE., Bare Bear Press, 1996, Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2010. Softcover. New. Creation of universe has been an enigma since time immemorial. Matter is made of energy. E=mc2 is an established scientific fact. Energy, in essence, is an expression of natural forces. Natural forces recognised so far are electromagnetic forceâa strong force binding the nuclear particles, weak force of radioactivity, force of gravitation and a recently recognised force binding together the quarks. It has been suggested that all these forces are essentially part of a unified field force of nature. Forces exhibit as field, as wave and sometimes as particle radiation. To explain their behaviour exactly various theories, e.g. quantum theory, relativity theory and string theory have been postulated in physics. But their changing behaviour is complicated enough to be understood fully by any one theory. They all are debated, discussed, modified, challenged, cancelled and formulated, again and again to reach new syntheses. âConsciousnessâ appears to be one variant of this field force of nature. Space, time and the unified field force of nature interacted to create this universe. Consciousness incorporated into matter and the living world happened. Life, in essence, is conscious awareness of self and an intense desire to perpetuate it for ever. This desire of eternal perpetuation is termed as survival instinct which reflects in the complex behaviour patterns of all living organisms, starting from sexual behaviour to sports and politics. The nature is governed by the principles of perpetuity, dynamicity, infinity, uncertainty and cyclicity. As nature keeps on changing, everything changes with the passage of time. The profound change in the system of an organism ultimately accumulates detrimentally and this natural machine first gets deranged or diseased and finally stops working. The expression of consciousness ceases and we call it death. Mental conditioning since childhood imparts attachment to family, society and nation at large. Food habits, beliefs, cultural imprints and faith in various gods are the other fallouts of conditioning. The book Truth and Illusion contains seminal essays on all these aspects of life including matter, energy, time, consciousness, survival instinct, pain, grief, sorrow, anger and violence, among others. The readers will find it interesting and informative. Printed Pages: 80., Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2010, Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2010.

Here is a writer worth many readings. His subject and approach invite numerous visits, viewings from varied moods and perspectives. In this, his third book, Mr. Rodrigez's takes as his theme the notion of "brown" as intermingled, mixed, impure and argues that it is the inevitable conclusion of America. Along the way he gives us his reading (a 'brown' reading?) of Richard Nixon, Alexis de Tocqueville, Ben Franklin, the Latin American migration, the persistance of Puritanism, sexual politics, cubism, Melcolm X, Catholism, public space, and the American insistance on authenticy against its impulse for the theatrical. Many of these are themes Mr. Rodriguez has covered before. Here he revisits some familiar themes through the lense of brownness, turning them over by a different light, holding them up to a different horizon. He is a writer of a fugue like repetition, striking humor in one note and discomfort in the next, leaving the reader to follow the argument off the page. He is a writer who does not condescend to his readers with trite resolutions or comforting reassurances. His style is personal and political, contemplative and engaging. He is an excellent stylist of a kind rarely seen today. This is not an easy read. It is a provocative and perplexing tune Mr. Rodriguez carries. He points in directions that he leaves uncharted, exposes personal wounds that he leaves unhealed. He invites us into an uncomfortable space of hanging questions. New readers may find him challanging (some friends have found his style dense or obscure). But if you are looking for an intelligent and engaging converstaion on the meaning of what America is becoming and why undermining of America's very notion of race is inevitable, then I strongly urge you to read this terrific book., Penguin Group: Viking, 2002., New York: Bare Bear Press, 1996. 1st printing. Saddle-stapled comic. Light shelfwear. Very good. 32 pp. plus covers, semi-glossy color covers, b/w interiors. An adult comic containing strong sexual content and violence. A space demon comes to earth to rape women with his tentacles. Heavily based off of Japanese Hentai. The artist is not to be confused with the Eros/ Fantagraphics creator of CYNTHIA PETAL'S REALLY FANTASTIC ALIEN SEX FRENZY! and PRESSED TONGUE., Bare Bear Press, 1996, Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2010. Softcover. New. Creation of universe has been an enigma since time immemorial. Matter is made of energy. E=mc2 is an established scientific fact. Energy, in essence, is an expression of natural forces. Natural forces recognised so far are electromagnetic forceâa strong force binding the nuclear particles, weak force of radioactivity, force of gravitation and a recently recognised force binding together the quarks. It has been suggested that all these forces are essentially part of a unified field force of nature. Forces exhibit as field, as wave and sometimes as particle radiation. To explain their behaviour exactly various theories, e.g. quantum theory, relativity theory and string theory have been postulated in physics. But their changing behaviour is complicated enough to be understood fully by any one theory. They all are debated, discussed, modified, challenged, cancelled and formulated, again and again to reach new syntheses. âConsciousnessâ appears to be one variant of this field force of nature. Space, time and the unified field force of nature interacted to create this universe. Consciousness incorporated into matter and the living world happened. Life, in essence, is conscious awareness of self and an intense desire to perpetuate it for ever. This desire of eternal perpetuation is termed as survival instinct which reflects in the complex behaviour patterns of all living organisms, starting from sexual behaviour to sports and politics. The nature is governed by the principles of perpetuity, dynamicity, infinity, uncertainty and cyclicity. As nature keeps on changing, everything changes with the passage of time. The profound change in the system of an organism ultimately accumulates detrimentally and this natural machine first gets deranged or diseased and finally stops working. The expression of consciousness ceases and we call it death. Mental conditioning since childhood imparts attachment to family, society and nation at large. Food habits, beliefs, cultural imprints and faith in various gods are the other fallouts of conditioning. The book Truth and Illusion contains seminal essays on all these aspects of life including matter, energy, time, consciousness, survival instinct, pain, grief, sorrow, anger and violence, among others. The readers will find it interesting and informative. Printed Pages: 80., Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2010, Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2010.
