A typical line from Publish and Perish is the final thought of a character who's about to die in an oh-so-dreadful fashion: "This can't be happening to me. I've got tenure." Horror and humor together are always delightful, but rarely is the combination executed with such gleeful panache as in the three novellas that make up Publish and Perish. The humor is at the expense of American academics, from struggling postdocs to crusty full professors. The characters spout silly jargon, wrestle with their writing problems, preen their tender egos, and skewer their colleagues. Most are likeable: their vanity is so human, it's almost touching. But the horror isn't played for laughs; it's ruthless and chilling, in the tradition of Edgar A. Poe and M. R. James. As one New York Times reviewer writes, "Publish and Perish is an odd and exhilarating experience--the playfulness of post-modernism at its best somehow celebrating the urgent, earnest suspense of old-fashioned, cliff-hanging narrative."
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of the YearA Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the YearCombining the wit of David Lodge with Poe's delicious sense of the macabre, these are three witty, spooky novellas of satire set in academia-a world where Derrida rules, love is a "complicated ideological position," and poetic justice is served with an ideological twist.
Customer Reviews:
Fun, spooky, intelligent, and disposable.......2006-10-03
Publish and Perish comprises three creepy novellas, all involving professional academics with roots in the University of the Midwest in Hamilton Groves, MN. Each tale is a spooky satire on the cut-throat intrigues that characterize contemporary academe. "Queen of the Jungle" deals with the unusual fallout from a career-driven commuter marriage, including marital infidelity, feline incontinence, and gypsy mysteries, but it does so without providing one likable character. "99" (which begins on page 99---talk about good typesetting!) relates the misadventures of one Gregory Eyck, an arrogant and downwarly mobile cultural anthropologist (with tenure!) who inadvertantly ends up doing fieldwork on neo-pagan sacrifice---from the inside. Though the story was fun, it was definitely derivative of the classic novel and film "The Wicker Man." The last, longest, and arguably best story, "Casting the Runes," is based upon names and ideas in the M.R. James ghost story of the same name. In it a young postmodern historian fights not only for tenure, but for her very life, against an eldritch elder professor who will stop at nothing to maintain his career. All in all a fun, spooky, intelligent, but disposable read.
great book - even if you're not into short stories.......2006-08-17
This was a great book. I don't write reviews much, but this one was worth writing in about.
The cat story had me looking at our cats in a different way for a few hours after I finished it. Apparently this author's sinister portrayal in the first story got to me a little.
Sensitive to scenes of animal torture?.......2006-06-01
Don't read Tale #1.
I was so repulsed, I couldn't force myself through Tales 2 and 3.
Not to mention, other authors have used the exact same plot. Do we REALLY need more stories about torturing animals? Ugh.
Academics of Angst.......2005-03-08
This collection of three novellas gets points for creativity and occasional moments of disconcerting humor, but the stories aren't really that scary and tend toward the predictable. Hynes' unusual milieu is the strangely stressful world of academia, in which aspiring professors think in fatuous postmodern gibberish about the deconstruction of texts or gender as performance, and your career is over if you can't get your dry paper published in a crusty journal that is only read by other professors. I have been in graduate school so I've been exposed to this useless angst, and quickly decided that it was not the life for me. Hynes writes about the darker impulses of those who have few goals except gaining academic tenure and cruelly crushing their competitors, in pursuit of meager professional rewards. There can't be that many fiction writers working within this subject matter, though the first two stories here don't really do anything interesting with it. "Queen of the Jungle" is little more than a cranky mid-life crisis yarn, while "99" is predictable and contrived, with nonsensical character development and a climax that you can see coming from a mile away. "Casting the Runes" is the most successful story here, dealing with witchcraft and professorial politics, and Hynes deserves credit for the hilarious scene in which riot grrrls storm a moribund academic conference. These stories are hardly pinnacles of the terror genre, but Hynes does creatively examine this world whose inhabitants are under a great deal of stress and angst, which no one out in the real world could possibly care about. [~doomsdayer520~]
I really WANTED to like this book..........2004-10-10
I found this title on a list of recommended academic satire, and the premise sounded too promising to pass up. In similar books I've read recently (Moo, Straight Man, Small World), the level of writing skill is deliciously high - perhaps because the authors themselves teach the craft.
The influence of HP Lovecraft on the author is obvious, even before he drops a reference to Miskatonic University. The plots and execution of the tales, however, are disappointingly and distractingly clumsy, compared to those of Lovecraft and other writers of academe.
All three stories are told from the third person in roughly the same voice, they are predictable, and there are strange inconsistencies that an editor should have caught. In the first story there is a "teaching assistant" who is later referred to as a "postdoc." Which is he?
Overall, I'd have to recommend giving this book a pass, unless you are tolerant of thin plots, clumsy foreshadowing, and cardboard characters. Go re-read The Dunwich Horror, instead.
Customer Reviews:
Except for Balogh, I didn't like it.......2006-08-30
This anothology consists of three stories:
A Handful of Gold -Mary Balogh
Julian Dare, an heir to an earldom, offers dancer Blanche Heyward (aka Verty Ewing) money to accompany him to his friends hunting lodge over the holidays and become his mistress. Desperate, Verty accepts his offer knowing that she will become ruined. She has no choice. She is the daughter of a deceased Reverend Ewing, who left his family penniless. Verty is the sole means of support for her mother and sister. She lies to her family, telling them that she working as a companion for a lady and not as a dancer at the opera. Soon Julian finds out that she is a virgin and is not pleased, rather confused because she acts like a lady. Later he realizes that she must be a lady for the way she takes charge of the household when a snowstorm develops and strands a family there and the women gives birth with Verty's help. When they retun to London, Verty and her family disappear to the countryside and Julian is frantic to find her because he realizes he's in love.
The Three Gifts -Julia Justiss
Miles Hamperton, a new viscount, is critically injured during the war. Out of neccessity, he marries Edwina Denby on his supposed death bed in order to prevent his horrible drunkered cousin from becoming his sister-in-laws and nieces guardian. Edwina agrees thinking that if he dies, she'll care for the relatives and if he doesn't then they will quickly annul the marriage. Surprisingly, he survives with her help and is undoubtably drawn to her, even though she is far below his station and quite ordinary looking. Edwina is in love with the handsome viscount, but refuses to believe he could want her. Miles stalls any annulment attempts while trying to woo her.
The Season for Suitors -Nicola Cornick
Heiress Clara Davenport needs advice so she goes to the source, rake Sebastian Fleet. She needs to know how to avoid the compromising situations she keeps getting herself into. She's desperate, so she chooses Sebastian even though she's still sore that he refused her marriage proposal two years ago -he'll never marry. He refuses to help, in fact she is in more danger with him than with anyone else, but she can't help it cause she's in love. He's in love too, but can't marry because he can't forgive himself over his part in a family tragedy.
Balogh's story was great as usual, the others stunk. Justiss's story lacks romance. You don't get the feeling that Miles really loves Edwina, there should have been much more buildup. The love scene is really creepy with Edwina pretending to be a her own maid sent to 'tend' to Mile's needs. Cornicks story is the worst, Sebastian was excellent up until he started crying -rakes cry? and when his manhood went limp -I kid you not. Who wants to read about crying and unable to perform rakes??? That just ruined it for me.
An EXCELLENT christmas anthology is A Gift Of Love by McNaught et. al. Read that one, you won't be dissapointed.
EXCELLENT!!! At least an "8*** Star" Book.......2006-01-15
Mary Balogh does it again. But then I shouldn't be surprised as she is one of my favorite authors.
Julia Justiss is also one of my favorites as I have all of her books and have read all of them, most of which are on my Keeper Shelf.
Now, last but not at all least is Nicola Cornick. I have all of her books and have read them too and they are all "EXCELLENT", but, I would advise you to read "THE EARL'S PRIZE", "THE CHAPERON BRIDE", and "WAYWARD WIDOW" before reading her story in this book, as Carla Davencourt and Sebastian Fleet have a history from the other three books. As Ms Cornick says in the beginning of the story....Can Carla Davencourt, who has loved Seb for years, open his heart to the comfort and joy of the Christmas season?
She says this story is especially for all the readers who wrote to her after Seb first appeared in her books and asked when he would have a story--and a LOVE--of his own. SHE DID AND HE HAS IN SPADES!!!!!
A truly wonderful Christmas read.......2005-11-24
Yummy - another Christmas Regency anthology! Well, yes, but it wasn't perfect. However, because of the Balogh and Cornick contributions, it rates five stars.
Let's start with Julia Justiss. Her contribution "The Three Gifts" had great potential. It's the story of a deathbed marriage of convenience but the groom, a badly wounded officer in the Peninsular War campaign, does not die. Instead, he survives and he and his bride must decide whether or not to seek an annulment. Viscount Hampden and Edwina Denby (a widow) seem a somewhat mismatched pair but they fall in love despite their circumstances. What let this story down, I think, was that the author failed to give her characters any real spark of attraction to the reader. I just could not care one way or the other about them. Somehow the plot seemed too contrived and unfortunately, for me at any rate, the whole thing fizzled out. I found my interest waning well before the conclusion. Sadly, I am beginning to think that this author and I are never going to hit it off together.
I haven't read anything by Nicola Cornick before so I approached "The Season for Suitors" with an open mind. I was dazzled. I fell completely in love with Sebastian, Duke of Fleet - crash, bang, whallop!! Clara Davenport met Fleet some years ago and was spurned by him as too young. He is a rake and wastrel - well on the surface he is at any rate! She seeks him out to ask for advice on how to cope with the unwanted attention she is getting from the ton's fortune hunters. He is attracted to her; indeed, he has been all along. What sets this story off was that Fleet is a tortured hero. There was an incident in his youth that has caused him great and continuing grief and, to hide from the grief and hide it from others, he behaves against his true character. I defy anyone not to love this man. He is charming, intelligent, loving and kind and despite his flaws he is, as they say, to die for.
Mary Balogh is a personal long-time favourite writer. I read "A Handful of Gold" in a previous anthology but was delighted to read it again. It is a beautifully told story of a young woman, Verity Ewing, who must earn a living and who is mistaken by Julian, Viscount Folingsby as a lightskirt. He invites her (promising to pay her enough money to ensure the well-being of her family) to spend Christmas at a friend's hunting box along with the host and his mistress. However, gradually, both realise neither are what they seem. A stranded clergyman and his family arrive and almost instantly the planned holiday in bed turns into a true family Christmas and everyone involved sees that the meaning and values of Christmas directly concern them. This is a story of much emotion and introspection and the two lovers become man and wife in a marriage guaranteed to bring them both deep and abiding happiness. This is the sort of Christmas story I am always hoping to find in the Regency Christmas anthologies.
So, hooray for Cornick - I shall have to pursue her back list. Julia Justiss has disappointed me but Mary Balogh, together with Nicola Cornick, make this anthology rate five stars.
three fun Regency romantic novellas .......2005-09-28
"Handful of Gold" by Mary Balogh. The handsome and wealthy heir to an earldom, Lord Julian Dare, seems to have everything; so what do you get the man you love for Christmas who seems to need nothing Verity Ewing asks herself. You give your heart to him though the risk is that he will return it broken.
"The Three Gifts" by Julia Justiss. Near death from war related injuries, Viscount Miles Hampden needs a spouse to provide him an heir; that is if he recovers enough to perform. Edwina Denby agrees to a marriage of convenience because she holds Miles in high regard. Edwina tends to her new husband's near fatal injuries even as they fall in love.
"The Season for Suitors" by Nicola Cornick. Because she is a pretty heiress, rakes and wastrels try to compromise Clara Davenport into marriage. She has been fortunate so far, but knows her luck will not hold out so she decides she needs a teacher to train her, an innocent, on how to fend off rakes. She turns to the poster boy of rakes Sebastian Fleet for mentoring and advice. However, the lessons between the teacher and the student turn into one of love.
These three Regency romantic novellas are fun tales due the assertive females who know what they want and take charge of achieving their respective heart's desires. The men are solid partners but the strong women make this anthology worth reading.

Book Description
The veil has been lifted.
Discover the Gospel truth about the most myth-understood woman of the New Testament. Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute? An adulteress? The wife of Jesus? An ancient goddess? Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible and Really Bad Girls of the Bible, combines heartfelt contemporary fiction with extensive biblical research to bring to life the real Mary Magdalene of the Bible.
With her own eyes, she saw him.
With her own ears, she heard him.
With her own hands, she touched him.
Unveiling Mary Magdalene opens with the fictional journey of Mary Margaret Delaney, a madwoman adrift in modern Chicago. Her moving story, closely paralleling the biblical account, is followed by a verse-by-verse study of the first-century Mary Magdalene and her life-changing encounters with the Christ.
“Liz has done it again! What hope and promise this will bring.”
— Kay Arthur
“The unforgettable portrait of a courageous woman.”
— Rebecca St. James
Customer Reviews:
A dose of encouraging reality.......2007-01-11
Wow! This book is fabulous. Written with typical Liz humor and deep insight, this book is a must for anyone who wants to really understand Mary Magdalene. Liz lets us know why most of our perceptions about Mary Magdalene are erroneous. She also has that wonderful ability to modernize the story for us. We see a fictional modern woman and situation juxtaposed against the scriptural Mary. This really brings Mary to life. If you've read the DaVinci Code, you'll want to compare the two Marys represented.
I can also recommend Bad Girls of the Bible and Really Bad Girls of the Bible by the same author, who describes herself as a "former bad girl." Funny, moving, and meaningful.
terrific two-part combo.......2004-05-28
?The Story?. On an icy Chicago day, Pastor Jake Stauros of Calvary Fellowship sees the desperate mumbling woman in her Goodwill wardrobe struggling to walk so he offered her help. Mary Margaret Delaney pretends to ignore his kindness and just keeps slipping, and incoherently saying ?Luna?. Jake truly wants to help her, but wonders how to reach Mary Margaret without a miracle as she acts as if demons possess her mind, and soul. Yet with God?s help he has assisted several rag tag muffins now part of the Calvary Fellowship. He will continue to pray for Mary Margaret, show her she is not alone, and optimistically hope she will join them. Mary Margaret?s story is a brilliantly written modern day parable paralleling that of Mary Magdalene so that readers can place a contemporary context on perhaps the bible?s ?baddest girl?.
?The Study?. Will the real Mary Magdalene stand up? Was she a courageous individual who followed Jesus and quickly became more than just a believer, but the person who was honored with being the first to see his reappearance? Was she a prostitute, Jesus? earthly lover or was that bad PR by a male dominated medieval church? Was she possessed by demons? Liz Curtis Higgs answers all the above and more with a thought provoking, well researched look at the New Testament. Using specific references that are easy to follow, Ms. Higgs furbishes a powerful intriguing case of who was the real Mary Magdalene.
UNVEILING MARY MAGDALENE is a terrific two-part combo that provides a wonderful novelette with an insightful biblical study that enables the audience to come away with a full understanding of one of the bible?s ?goodest? girls.

The Bulfinch Illustrated Encyclopedia of Antiques is an exhaustive resource for those wishing to understand the distinctions of fine antique furniture and accessories. Laid out in a clear, easy-to-use format with color photographs, the book blends the right amount of history, description and crafting techniques for pottery and porcelain, glass, silver, furniture, clocks, and oriental wares. It also goes into welcome detail of style and manufacturer distinctions, including illustrations of table legs, drawer handles, silverware hallmarks, and porcelain marks. Though the book lacks coverage for lower-end collectibles, it includes a useful glossary and informative timelines for novices. The occasional auction house shopper who needs to be able to determine the difference between a late Georgian side table and a George III satinwood card table will find what they need here.
Where the Bulfinch Encyclopedia really shines is in its item histories. For instance, note the birth of the vinaigrette: "In the late 1600s, in an attempt by men and women of quality to combat the stench of filthy streets and open sewers, vinaigrettes were introduced. These were small containers "in which a small piece of sponge soaked in spiced vinegar was kept behind a pierced cover" Overall, this encyclopedia is an excellent resource for high-end collectors and admirers of the history of European, American, and Asian antiques.--Karen Karleski

Excellent Survey of handmade bibles........2005-01-18
This is a wonderful survey of illuminated bibles that is so reasonably priced that I would gladly recommend it to *anyone* interested in illuminated manuscripts. For artists working in the medieval style, I strongly recommend adding this to your reference collection.
The book starts with an introductory chapter on book production in medieval monasteries and then quickly moves on to its stated purpose: a primarily visual survey of a variety of hand-made bibles from their beginnings to the mid-17th century. Each book featured is accompanied by a short text and at least one exploded view of the illumination details. The majority of bibles surveyed fall squarely between 1200-1500, but there are several earlier and later manuscripts. The preponderance of manuscripts come from central and eastern European libraries, so in addition to the usual Franco-Flemish and Italian examples, there are also a number of Greek, Armenian, German, Spanish, Ethiopian, Slavonic, and other under-represented areas included in this book.
The exploded details of the illumination are one of the best things about this book. They are so greatly enlarged that one can often identify the brush strokes. Added to the greater-than-usual breadth of the survey-in styles and in quality--and the reasonable price, it's a book you shouldn't skip.

Luscious photographs and extremely practical decorating advice combine to make this volume both a delight to behold and an excellent resource for anyone looking to emulate the English-cottage look at home. Solid information on basic stylistic elements and on choosing colors and fabrics lays the groundwork for a room-by-room survey of lovely spaces. From entryways and family living spaces to bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and outdoor living areas, the text, the photos, and the captions offer wonderful verbal and visual advice on why these rooms work so well and how you can adapt them to work for you. A series of marvelous double-page spreads entitled "Get the Look" feature detailed photos grouped thematically to showcase such concepts as displaying collections, disguising storage, or setting an outdoor table. This is a good primer on cottage-style decorating, and even if you're already familiar with a lot of the basics, you'll still find inspiration in these pages. --Amy Handy
Book Description
Two hundred photographs and inspiring ideas for using color, texture, materials, and furnishings show the way. Go beyond the quintessential chintz and florals: think about maximizing light with everything from a big bay window to sheer curtains. Try brick or stone floorings for that warm, traditional look. Transform a hallway with painted floorboards and a rag rug. That’s the essence of beautiful country style.

Reba McEntire: The Queen of Country
ASIN: 0312064500 |
Customer Reviews:
I have it!.......2000-11-08
I feel very fortunate to have this book as it is now out of print. I bought it in 1993 at a book store and just ran into it on a whim. I enjoyed the book as it had a lot of information about Reba and her journey through life so far. Up to this point I have every book that has been written about her and find this one to be very informative.
She is "The Queen of Country".......2000-08-08
Luckily for me, my husband found a copy of this book in perfect condition at a used book store. I cried while reading it. They were both tears of happiness and tears of sadness. The book talks about her life as a young woman followed by her start in Nashville all the way through to her darkest moment when her crew's plane went down. It also goes into some of the acting she did in the 1990's. I truly enjoyed this book. If you are a Reba fan, it is a MUST have. Enjoy!

If you can't get enough of Reba you'll enjoy this book. Mr. Cusic gets his information from people who know her well, and most of the events discribed agree with her autobiography, "Reba:My Story" ( read it first!). If you get the chance to read this ,do, just keep in mind Reba didn't authorize this so some things may be a little exaggerated.If you're not a fan already reading her story will make you one!
