He’s always praising strongmen rulers around the world. Most recently Bolsonaro in Brazil, is a horrible misogynist. There isn’t a single authoritarian state that embraces feminism, and so that misogyny and subjugation of women underpins all of these strongman-like states. ![]() Have you seen similar tendencies in other world leaders? So when you have single women refusing to get married and have babies, insisting that they control their own bodies, wanting to make their own decisions and not follow the edicts of the Communist Party, then that’s an existential threat to these male leaders. Betraying Big Brother contributes greatly to the fields of gender studies and human rights in Asia. Keeping the family with children together under a man who exerts his authority and a wife who is obedient is seen as critical to political stability. There is also the hyper-masculine personality cult of Xi Jinping, where he presents himself as a father figure and strongman ruler over these male-dominated, harmonious families. ![]() ![]() I think that’s even more important to them than sustaining economic growth. They see the subjugation of women as critical to the party’s survival. Patriarchal authoritarianism is what underpins the longevity of the Communist Party. ![]() ![]() ![]() Otherwise it's not consistent with the character building. Think of something else that could at least maintain a level of sympathy for the characters. It's unexpected and repulsive and unimaginative. In what romance is this a good character trait? It was such a tired move. Anything for him to still remain decent or likable…or different. It just.ugh! I was thinking we were going to find out that Javier never had sex with the whores that maybe he just went into another room or paid them without having sex or something. I KNOW that there were other ways for the author to cause a rift in the relationship or some tension other than the whorehouse. I wish I had stopped before that chapter. I was so turned off by all this that the enjoyment I had had thus far completely vanished. You'll beg me before I come back to you". POSSIBLE SPOILER: I keep seeing this happening in so many gay romance stories (and I always hate it) where a character has sex with a woman just to prove something, but this one was so disgusting to me, doing it in front of your partner and then being like "What did I do wrong? Why are you mad?. This one started out great for me and I enjoyed it UNTIL the scene in the brothel. ![]() 7/8/2023 0 Comments Bluegrass undercover series![]() When danger and passions flare it’s best to find cover.

These riots resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1 million Hindus and Muslims and the displacement of about 20 million persons on both sides of the border.

Jennifer Hodgson edited the book and contributed its introduction. The new collection The Unmapped Country brings together Quin’s shorter works, from stories and some autobiographical pieces to writings that were unfinished at the time of her death. In the ensuing years, Quin’s work has gained a cult following for its innovation, its tactile sense of place, and its unique ability to capture a feeling of desperate unease. ![]() Tripticks was the fourth and final novel that Quin published in her lifetime she died the following year. ![]() This led me to Quin’s 1972 Tripticks, a formally bold and deeply unsettling work–the sort of experimental fiction that reconfigures how you process text, feels ahead of its time. M y first exposure to the works of Ann Quin, if memory serves, came via a list of recommendations by Blake Butler of notable books published by Dalkey Archive Press. ![]() |
