THE BRIDE STRIPPED BARE
Anonymous • 2003
Product Description<br/><br/><br/>This novel of sex, secrecy, and escape by an anonymous writer begins with a missing woman; her car lies abandoned on a remote bluff but no body is found. She was the good wife and mother: mannerly, quiet, and self-contained. But she has left behind an incendiary diary chronicling a disturbing journey of sexual awakening. As the diary opens on her honeymoon in Morocco, she believes herself to be happy . Swiftly, however, this smooth surface is ruptured as an act of massive betrayal propels her into a world of desire, fantasy and recklessness. What begins for her in the imagination ends in a downward spiral of obsession and release. The protagonist finds an unlikely heroine to inspire her in a dusty, rare manuscript written by an anonymous woman in the 1600s, a cry from the heart for women to live and love freely. With this as her guide, she dares to challenge convention as she learns the intoxicating power of knowing what she wants and how to get it. The question is, how long can her soul sustain a perilous double life? Coolly impassioned, "The Bride Stripped Bare" explores the truth about love and sex. Couched in a deceptively simple style, it will make you question whether it is ever entirely possible to know another person.<br/><br/><br/>Review<br/><br/><br/>The problem with pornography is not that it exploits or degrades, but that if you are remotely interested in it there is so much about that it can absorb every moment of every waking hour, plus some when you are not awake. As a delivery medium for pornography, the printed book lacks the impact of the Internet, and must rely for its appeal not on explicitness but literary value. Part of the sales pitch for this book is that the female author has two novels to her name, which is a secret. Like all sex books this one is conventional, being an account of sexual awakening and self-discovery. As usual with pornography what is particularly exciting is what is not shown or said. In this case the identity of 'Anonymous'.<br/><br/><br/>From Publishers Weekly<br/><br/><br/>A series of diary entries charts the sinuous paths of marriage and sexual desire in this artful book, a bestseller in the U.K. The author of the entries, a nameless 30-something housewife, has disappeared, leaving behind what amounts to 138 "lessons," written in the second-person, for her fellow archetypal "good wives." At first, the gimmick is jarring, but as the protagonist's personality emerges and flowers, readers will be seduced by this sometimes subtle, sometimes overwrought novel set in modern-day London. At first, marriage equals safety to the woman ("it's a relief, to be honest, this surrendering..."), but the sex is humdrum, and Cole, her husband, is remote and fastidiousonly oral sex offers a surefire way to orgasm and sometimes he'd just rather watch TV. To make matters worse, he may have engaged in an affair with her best childhood friend. Beginning work on her long-planned book might cheer her upand so will an affair with lovely Gabriel, of the "cathedral-wide" chest and silky young skin. Thus she commences erotic adventures previously unimaginable. She also becomes pregnant, and the anonymous author is cannily perceptive about the vicissitudes of pregnancy and new motherhood; she writes strikingly of the surprising erotic passion, emotional upheaval and anger that can flare during pregnancy. This unusual but strangely compelling novel offers an intimate chronicle of change and self-discovery, of a woman who makes a final and unexpected choice.<br/>Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The Street Poet: The Journals of a Paranoid Man
Jaidyn L Attard • 2023
Poetry on the walls. Needles in the gutters. Preachers on the corners. Protesters on the roads. People begging on the streets. This is 21st century Melbourne. Johnny Lock - young and fragile, purposeless and paranoid - meets Jay Khan, a wanderer who writes letters to strangers while trapped in Melbourne during the pandemic. Thus begins Johnny's metamorphosis. He brands himself a 'street poet' and begins roaming the city in search of stories, finding inspiration in the strangers and places Jay teaches him to notice. Johnny's world grows larger as he learns to heed the forgotten stories, entangling his own in the tales of the streets. Over a tumultuous eighteen-month period, he confronts his own delusions, exposes universally existential truths, and unveils the secrets of the city. The result is a dystopian rendering of modern Australian life from the eyes of a paranoid poet: the author's literary alter ego.<br/><br/>This collection archives the transcriptions of Johnny's wanderings as a street poet. His recorded observations and encounters are preserved in typewritten diary entries, street-inspired poetry and various other media forms. From drunken train rides and anti-vax protests to eavesdropped conversations and interactions with strangers, this is Johnny's Melbourne: a city flashing between hot and cold, welcoming and discordant. Romanticism and disillusionment are seamlessly braided into a raw, honest story about a young man navigating a turbulent world.

<b><b>A <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller</b><br><br>From the author of the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>All the Bright Places</i> comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see someone—and love someone—for who they truly are.<br></b><br>Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed “America’s Fattest Teen.” But no one’s taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libby’s ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER. <i>In that moment, I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything. </i> <br><br>Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: <i>Be charming. Be hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone. <br></i><br>Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game—which lands them in group counseling and community service—Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. . . . <i>Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.<br></i><br>Jennifer Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding that person who sees you for who you are—and seeing them right back.<br><br>"<b>Niven is adept at creating characters</b>. . . .
