![]() ![]() Despite the controversy over the level of safety appropriate for experienced BDSM "players", for people beginning to explore BDSM, who are the intended audience of this book, it's appropriate to strongly emphasize safety for acts which carry significant risks. Within the BDSM world, there is some controversy over safety and acceptable risk, and Wiseman comes down very strongly on the low-risk end of things. Wiseman has an EMT background, and is a strong exponent of safety in one's BDSM practice. ![]() There is some introductory material which would be of use for the second sort of reader, but it's presented more as background material before delving into the details than it is an overview for outsiders. Conquer Me: Girl-To-Girl Wisdom About Fulfilling Your Submissive Desires. SM101 is much more for people who are interested in, or curious about, participating in BDSM activities, than it is for someone trying to understand from the outside. The author intended for people to read straight through it, though he reports that many people use it as a reference work, turning to the section they're most interested in reading about. It really is a "realistic introduction" for people who are interested in getting started into the world of BDSM (the current PC acronym for S&M). ![]() ![]() The dirt must long for these distant stories the way a child yearns for an absent mother. In her debut novel The Burial, Courtney Collins supposes that the earth would favour the stories of those who are furthest from it, ‘the ones who are suspended in flight’. “If the dirt could speak, whose story would it tell?” Unearthing Herstory: Courtney Collins’ The Burial Read article, published by Crikey’ s literary blog, Liticism, on 19 March 2012. Either way, Schabas’ prose is beautiful, detailed and engrossing, and Various Positions is worth reading for this alone. On the other, it’s an ambitious homage to Nabokov’s Lolita that questions the nature of truth and responsibility. ![]() ![]() On one hand, the plot is fraught with clichés connected to ballet and to ‘coming of age’ plotlines.

She consults Stan, a good friend and journalist who works for an "alternative" newspaper and uncovers historical facts. After her grandmother's death, Rebecca Berlin, the youngest of her three granddaughters (referred to as Becca in the novel) begins to believe that there is some meaning behind the bedtime story that her grandmother told to them hundreds of times. In the present day, Gemma's Jewish family is living somewhere outside a city in Massachusetts. ![]() The times when "Gemma" tells the story are flashbacks and alternate between the present-day story. She tells this to the children almost all the time and it is the only bedtime story she ever tells. The story is based around the German fairy tale of Briar Rose ( Sleeping Beauty) which is told by "Gemma", an elderly woman, to her three granddaughters. The ending is part of the "home" section, returning after the castle. ![]() The book is divided into two parts, the "home", and the "castle". ![]() It was also nominated for the Nebula Award.

You have the whole gothic smorgasbord here: the confused bloodlines, the sacred and the secular casually intermingling, extremely messy rising action, and even old, abandoned churches! The aesthetics of the story were truly my favorite part. ![]() This truly was a novel of scandal and emotion, salacious as hell and with taboo-breaking philosophy to spare, and it even possesses a slow-burn aspect to match that literary lineage it pays homage to. However, what really captivated me about this novel was the surprisingly accurate emulation of older, 18th century gothic works (Matthew Lewis came to mind the more I read it!). ![]() Usually, such texts are, more than anything, a cumbersome read for me, since extreme depictions of graphic violence usually read as ridiculous and humorous when overdone (and this certainly was those things on more than one occasion). That's how it was recommended to me, and that's what I got. This is a bizarre, exploitative tale of murder and all kinds of debauchery and assault imaginable.
