Book Description

The moment AJ Walsh sees the sexy, tattooed pixie walk up to his bar, it's lust at first sight. He's always been labeled the "nice" guy—opening doors, buying flowers, and never, ever having one-night stands. But with this wicked little angel with red lips and unfathomably dark eyes? Oh, yeah. Tonight, "nice" has nothing to do with it... Brett Conlon is trying to convince her family that she's put away her reckless wild girl side for good. Nothing—and no one—could be better for her reputation than golden boy AJ Walsh. So they make a deal: if he plays The Good Boyfriend for her family, he can be a very, very bad boy with her. Now their one naughty night is about to turn into a whole lot of trouble... Each book in the After Hours series is STANDALONE: * One Night of Sin (novella) * One Night of Scandal * One Night of Trouble

Book Description

“Henry Smith’s father told him that if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you.” But Trouble comes careening down the road one night in the form of a pickup truck that strikes Henry’s older brother, Franklin. In the truck is Chay Chouan, a young Cambodian from Franklin’s preparatory school, and the accident sparks racial tensions in the school—and in the well-established town where Henry’s family has lived for generations. Caught between anger and grief, Henry sets out to do the only thing he can think of: climb Mt. Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine, which he and Franklin were going to climb together. Along with Black Dog, whom Henry has rescued from drowning, and a friend, Henry leaves without his parents’ knowledge. The journey, both exhilarating and dangerous, turns into an odyssey of discovery about himself, his older sister, Louisa, his ancestry, and why one can never escape from Trouble.

Book Description

Judith Butler's GENDER TROUBLE: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity radically claimed that the sexed body is a fallacy, discursively constructed by the performance of gender. A.W. Strouse has undertaken to rewrite Butler's classic tome into an octosyllabic poem. Inspired by the rhyming encyclopedias of the Middle Ages, Strouse transforms each of Butler's sentences into punchy medieval couplets. This performative repetition of Chapter 1 of Butler's now classic treatise on gender, identity, and sexuality, "Subjects of Sex/Gender/Desire," deconstructs Butler's deconstruction. Relishing in the campiness of rhyme and meter-in the bodily pleasures of form-Strouse's GENDER TROUBLE COUPLETS, Volume 1 is an imitation for which there is no original. Butler's GENDER TROUBLE, perhaps, was poetry all along. "In the tradition of the Revolutionary Cookbook ("Eggs Benedict Arnold"), teaching Structuralism through Hipster vs. Amish beards ("Is that beard ironic?"), and literary hostess gifts ("Lady Macbeth's Soap"), comes this brilliant rhymed couplet version of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble. Rarely has a poet applied his gifts to a more deserving subject. Strouse is the the Jeff Koons of queer theory, the Kim Kardashian of différance, the Lisa Frank of same-sex. In the grand tradition of rhymed pedagogical commentary - think Chaucer teaching Litel Louis how to use the Astrolabe - this funny and useful book will be an instant bestseller, a perfect gift for the nerd and hipster in your life, and the best Valentine cadeau for your secret queer crush whom you want but cannot quite name." Anna M. Klosowska, author of QUEER LOVE IN THE MIDDLE AGES (Palgrave, 2005) A.W. STROUSE teaches medieval literature at The New School, and has published a wide variety of creative works, including MY GAY MIDDLE AGES (punctum, 2015) and with Patty Barth, TRANSFER QUEEN (punctum, 2018).

Book Description

Stress. Everyone is talking about it, suffering from it, trying desperately to manage it-now more than ever. From 1970 to 1980, 2,326 academic articles appeared with the word "stress" in the title. In the decade between 2000 and 2010 that number jumped to 21,750. Has life become ten times more stressful, or is it the stress concept itself that has grown exponentially over the past 40 years? In One Nation Under Stress, Dana Becker argues that our national infatuation with the therapeutic culture has created a middle-class moral imperative to manage the tensions of daily life by turning inward, ignoring the social and political realities that underlie those tensions. Becker shows that although stress is often associated with conditions over which people have little control-workplace policies unfavorable to family life, increasing economic inequality, war in the age of terrorism-the stress concept focuses most of our attention on how individuals react to stress. A proliferation of self-help books and dire medical warnings about the negative effects of stress on our physical and emotional health all place the responsibility for alleviating stress-though yoga, deep breathing, better diet, etc.-squarely on the individual. The stress concept has come of age in a period of tectonic social and political shifts. Nevertheless, we persist in the all-American belief that we can meet these changes by re-engineering ourselves rather than tackling the root causes of stress. Examining both research and popular representations of stress in cultural terms, Becker traces the evolution of the social uses of the stress concept as it has been transformed into an all-purpose vehicle for defining, expressing, and containing middle-class anxieties about upheavals in American society.
