What do you get when you cross a baby-eating rhinoceros with an alcoholic lemur and the angriest guy to ever have a crow jammed in his eye socket? No, really, what do you get? Maybe we will find out by reading this book... Rufus and Cleveland go on three separate adventures dealing with drugs, babies, confessions and fake I.D.'s all the while looking cuddly and cute enough to hug yet disturbed enough to be part of our dysfunctional family!Crowpsey is finally back in his first full-length adventure and there is no way this one is gonna disappoint! We find Crowpsey in crisis regarding the direction of his life. He has lost the urge to murder and maim and finds himself taking a job as an ice cream man in an attempt to find the evil in his heart he so desperately misses. I have the feeling everything is going to turn out ok for our pal Crowpsey, but maybe not so ok for everyone else. KAAWWWW!!!!

Science Fiction & Fantasy

Science Fiction

In this book Dr Dominika Oramus reads J.G. Ballard's fiction (and some of his non-fiction) as a record of the gradual internal degeneration of Western civilization in the second half of the twentieth century. In sundry ways and styles Ballard's ostensibly very heterogeneous oeuvre depicts the same intangible catastrophe that has happened to the world. Contemporary reality is thus presented in his late prose as "post-apocalyptic": though we are not literally living amidst the ruins, the golden age is far behind us and we are witnessing the twilight of the West. Oramus achieves two aims in this study. First, the revelation of the Grave New World, that imaginary territory Ballard describes in his books, which is a combination of the turn-of-the-millennium world, intertextual allusions to both fiction and non-fiction, and Ballard's projections for the near future with its sociological idiosyncrasies. Oramus shows that no matter which literary conventions Ballard applies in a given text (science fiction, speculative fiction, detective story, thriller, war novel, or any other), he charts the very same territory and remains throughout primarily interested in the reaction of the human mind to the post-World War II reality - which is the common denominator of his diverse obsessions. Second, she sheds light on the spiritual condition and social problems of contemporary Western civilization as seen by Ballard, its ever so inquisitive member. Her technique in approaching Ballard is that of textual analysis and a close readings of passages of his texts that best show his exuberant stylistics; sometimes she also points out his references to literary and cultural theories. As far as said theories are concerned, Oramus follows Ballard's own readings. He very often alludes to critical schools and makes his characters discuss fashionable notions and ideas. She refers to the same sources: mostly psychoanalysts (many Ballardian characters are psychiatrists), but also historians and recent cultural theorists.
