![]() Here a revealing episode in the gender politics of cultural production unfolds as male artists and writers, working in a society consumed by fear of outside threats, envision women as enemies that can be contained and mastered through transcendent artistic expression. Tatar focuses attention on the politically turbulent Weimar Republic, often viewed as the birthplace of a transgressive avant-garde modernism, where representations of female sexual mutilation abound. In examining images of sexual murder ( Lustmord), she produces a riveting study of how art and murder have intersected in the sexual politics of culture from Weimar Germany to the present. ![]() Tatar, however, challenges us to consider what is taking place - both artistically and socially - in the construction and circulation of scenes depicting sexual murder. This image is so prevalent in painting, literature, film, and, most recently, in mass media, that we rarely question what is at stake in its representation. In a book that confronts our society’s obsession with sexual violence, Maria Tatar seeks the meaning behind one of the most disturbing images of twentieth-century Western culture: the violated female corpse. ![]() ![]() Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale Books In Order Click here to subscribe to Kindle Unlimited Membership Plans #ad.

It also turns out that his father lives in fear of the peril to his son from both human and spiritual demons. Lee’s physical prowess, however, gets him into trouble with the authorities and he’s sent to San Francisco for his own safety. ![]() Somewhat awkward socially, he transforms into a confident human dynamo when he’s forced to fight. The jumping-off point of the biopic finds the teenage Lee (the not-related Jason Scott Lee) as a young man in Hong Kong. However, at its core, it’s a romance, and tapping into that audience will determine whether the picture is a small or a big hit. Not truly aimed at aficionados of the action star, it will unquestionably attract that crowd. The combination looks commercially potent and diverse. ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel is essentially a love story, an unlikely one given the journey the two main characters have to take. Its initial print run, in the original Japanese, was sold out on the first day of release, largely due to advance orders, Murakami having already achieved a high literary profile by that stage. Despite the huge anticipation of the novel when it was announced, it was not received with universal critical acclaim. It is a huge book, three volumes totalling around a thousand pages, forty-five hours of listening time, recounting the events of a single year. By contrast, this complex and curious novel was one of the best things I have read in a long time.
