On a cold night in January 2005, eighteen-year-old Shawn Stiles was brutally stabbed over 30 times and left for dead in the slums of Erie Pennsylvania. His attackers thought they could get away with murder since he was just another loser no one would ever miss. They were dead wrong. Four years later, Anthony Goodroad finds himself a newlywed married to a gorgeous blonde. But as he’s sitting with her opening wedding presents, he comes across a most gruesome gift: a photograph of Shawn’s mutilated face and naked torso lying on a medical table. It isn’t long before Anthony and his once meth addicted friends realize that someone is coming for them, and he’s dealing a warped brand of justice. They’ll face unbearable physical and psychological torture for something they may or may not be responsible for. This twisted account of absolute vengeance puts a scalpel to your eyeball, and forces you to reassess your convictions about revenge and forgiveness. How close would you stoop to the depths of hell if you were Inconsolable.

Health, illness and disease are topics well-suited to interdisciplinary inquiry. This book brings together scholars from around the world who share an interest in and a commitment to bridging the traditional boundaries of inquiry. We hope that this book begins new conversations that will situate health in broader socio-cultural contexts and establish connections between health, illness and disease and other socio-political issues. This book is the outcome of the first global conference on Making Sense of: Health, Illness and Disease, held at St Catherine's College, Oxford, in June 2002. The selected papers pursue a range of topics from the cultural significance of narratives of health, illness and disease to healing practices in contemporary society as well as patients' illness experiences.

"Exotic...erotic... Ocean Sea is highly romantic and breathtakingly lyrical."--The New York Times Book Review With Silk, his first novel to appear in English, Alessandro Baricco immediately proved himself to be a magical storyteller. With Ocean Sea, he has been acclaimed as the successor to Italo Calvino, and a major voice in modern literature. In Ocean Sea, Alessandro Baricco presents a hypnotizing postmodern fable of human malady--psychological, existential, erotic--and the sea as a means of deliverance. At the Almayer Inn, a remote shoreline hotel, an artist dips his brush in a cup of ocean water to paint a portrait of the sea. A scientist pens love letters to a woman he has yet to meet. An adulteress searches for relief from her proclivity to fall in love. And a sixteen-year-old girl seeks a cure from a mysterious condition which science has failed to remedy. When these people meet, their fates begin to interact as if by design. Enter a mighty tempest and a ghostly mariner with a thirst for vengeance, and the Inn becomes a place where destiny and desire battle for the upper hand. Playful, provocative, and ultimately profound, Ocean Sea is a novel of striking originality and wisdom.
