The Arrangement: A Novel
by Sarah DunnNamed one of the 9 Most Addictive Books of 2017 by Huffington PostA hilarious and emotionally charged novel about a couple who embark on an open marriage-what could possibly go wrong? Lucy and Owen, ambitious, thoroughly-therapized New Yorkers, have taken the plunge, trading in their crazy life in a cramped apartment for Beekman, a bucolic Hudson Valley exurb. They've got a two hundred year-old house, an autistic son obsessed with the Titanic, and 17 chickens, at last count. It's the kind of paradise where stay-at-home moms team up to cook the school's "hot lunch," dads grill grass-fed burgers, and, as Lucy observes, "chopping kale has become a certain kind of American housewife's version of chopping wood."When friends at a wine-soaked dinner party reveal they've made their marriage open, sensible Lucy balks. There's a part of her, though-the part that worries she's become too comfortable being invisible-that's intrigued. Why not try a short marital experiment? Six months, clear ground rules, zero questions asked. When an affair with a man in the city begins to seem more enticing than the happily-ever-after she's known for the past nine years, Lucy must decide what truly makes her happy-"real life," or the "experiment?"

An Arrangement of Skin: Essays
by Anna Journey"These are intimate, delicate essays about the many skins we inhabit, illuminating even in their darkness." —The Boston GlobeAnna Journey revels in the flexibility and hybridity of the essay form, swerving artfully among topics—a recollection of a personal rupture and ensuing call to a suicide hotline opens into a consideration of taxidermy and lyric time; a mother’s penchant for telling macabre stories at the dinner table connects to campfire songs and the cultural importance of American roots music; and a tattoo artist named after a pirate–themed rum reminds us how we inscribe our skins and spirits through the intimate gestures of ink.

Arranging Grief: Sacred Time and the Body in Nineteenth-Century America (Sexual Cultures #2)
by Dana Luciano2008 Winner, MLA First Book PrizeCharting the proliferation of forms of mourning and memorial across a century increasingly concerned with their historical and temporal significance, Arranging Grief offers an innovative new view of the aesthetic, social, and political implications of emotion. Dana Luciano argues that the cultural plotting of grief provides a distinctive insight into the nineteenth-century American temporal imaginary, since grief both underwrote the social arrangements that supported the nation’s standard chronologies and sponsored other ways of advancing history.Nineteenth-century appeals to grief, as Luciano demonstrates, diffused modes of “sacred time” across both religious and ostensibly secular frameworks, at once authorizing and unsettling established schemes of connection to the past and the future. Examining mourning manuals, sermons, memorial tracts, poetry, and fiction by Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Apess, James Fenimore Cooper, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Susan Warner, Harriet E. Wilson, Herman Melville, Frances E. W. Harper, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Keckley, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Luciano illustrates the ways that grief coupled the affective body to time. Drawing on formalist, Foucauldian, and psychoanalytic criticism, Arranging Grief shows how literary engagements with grief put forth ways of challenging deep-seated cultural assumptions about history, progress, bodies, and behaviors.
Arranging Marriage: Conjugal Agency in the South Asian Diaspora
by Marian AguiarThe first critical analysis of contemporary arranged marriage among South Asians in a global context Arranged marriage is an institution of global fascination—an object of curiosity, revulsion, outrage, and even envy. Marian Aguiar provides the first sustained analysis of arranged marriage as a transnational cultural phenomenon, revealing how its meaning has been continuously reinvented within the South Asian diaspora of Britain, the United States, and Canada. Aguiar identifies and analyzes representations of arranged marriage in an interdisciplinary set of texts—from literary fiction and Bollywood films, to digital and print media, to contemporary law and policy on forced marriage.Aguiar interprets depictions of South Asian arranged marriage to show we are in a moment of conjugal globalization, identifying how narratives about arranged marriage bear upon questions of consent, agency, state power, and national belonging. Aguiar argues that these discourses illuminate deep divisions in the processes of globalization constructed on a fault line between individualist and collectivist agency and in the process, critiques neoliberal celebrations of &“culture as choice&” that attempt to bridge that separation. Aguiar advocates situating arranged marriage discourses within their social and material contexts so as to see past reductive notions of culture and grasp the global forces mediating increasingly polarized visions of agency.
Arranging Stories: Framing Social Commentary in Short Story Collections by Southern Women Writers
by Heather A. FoxBetween the 1880s and the 1940s, opportunities for southern white women writers increased dramatically, bolstered by readers’ demands for southern stories in northern periodicals. Confined by magazine requirements and social expectations, writers often relied on regional settings and tropes to attract publishers and readers before publishing work in a collection. Selecting and ordering magazine stories for these collections was not arbitrary or dictated by editors, despite a male-dominated publishing industry. Instead, it allowed writers to privilege stories, or to contextualize a story by its proximity to other tales, as a form of social commentary. For Kate Chopin, Ellen Glasgow, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, and Katherine Anne Porter—the authors featured in this book—publishing a volume of stories enabled them to construct a narrative framework of their own. Arranging Stories: Framing Social Commentary in Short Story Collections by Southern Women Writers is as much about how stories are constructed as how they are told. The book examines correspondence, manuscripts, periodicals, and first editions of collections. Each collection’s textual history serves as a case study for changes in the periodical marketplace and demonstrates how writers negotiated this marketplace to publish stories and garner readership. The book also includes four tables, featuring collected stories’ arrangements and publication histories, and twenty-five illustrations, featuring periodical publications, unpublished letters, and manuscript fragments obtained from nine on-site and digital archives. Short story collections guide readers through a spatial experience, in which both individual stories and the ordering of those stories become a framework for interpreting meaning. Arranging Stories invites readings that complicate how we engage collected works.
Arras Hanging: The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama
by Rebecca OlsonTextiles have long provided metaphors for storytelling: a compelling novel “weaves a tapestry” and we enjoy hearing someone “spin” a tale. To what extent, however, should we take these metaphors seriously? Arras Hanging: The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama reveals that in the early modern period, when cloth-making was ubiquitous and high-quality tapestries called arras hangings were the most valuable objects in England, such metaphors were literal. The arras in particular provided a narrative model for writers such as Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare, who exploited their audience’s familiarity with weaving to engage them in highly idiosyncratic and “hands on” ways. Specifically, undescribed or “blank” tapestries in the period’s fiction presented audiences with opportunities to “see” whatever they desired, and thus weave themselves into the story. Far more than background objects, literary and dramatic arras hangings have much to teach us about the intersections between texts and textiles at the dawn of print, and, more broadly, about the status of visual art in post-Reformation England.

Arrebatos carnales (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 1)
by Francisco Martín MorenoUn libro que nos informa, que nos descubre secretos de alcoba y que nos recuerda nuestra propia humanidad. «Resulta inadmisible estudiar las biografías de los grandes personajes de nuestra historia con un criterio moralista o religioso que excluya sus inclinaciones sentimentales o ignore los arrebatos carnales en que pudieron haber caído, víctimas ¿afortunadas? de una obnubilación permanente o pasajera. El amor constituye la columna vertebral de las relaciones humanas. ¿A dónde se va en la vida sin un cómplice con quien se comparten secretos exquisitos en la cama?» Francisco Martín Moreno, con su fresco, cercano, pero a la vez riguroso estilo, nos invita a humanizar, desde las pasiones y afectos, a esos personajes históricos que han cambiado o influido en la historia de México. Así,en Arrebatos carnales I, el lector conocerá las intimidades de la poeta y escritora Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, del político José Vasconcelos, del libertador José María Morelos, del emperador Maximiliano I, del dictador Porfirio Díaz y del célebre revolucionario Pancho Villa.
Arrebatos carnales II (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 2)
by Francisco Martín MorenoUna vez más, el autor nos hace disfrutar de la historia de México conociendo sus entresijos carnales y sus pasiones. «Una prueba para demostrar que no me dejé impresionar por los comentarios adversos ni me importó que me llamaran irreverente, entre otros calificativos, por haberme atrevido a bajar de sus respectivos pedestales a los grandes protagonistas de la historia de México y por exhibirlos como figuras de carne y hueso con sus fortalezas y debilidades [...] Aquí está Arrebatos carnales II.» Francisco Martín Moreno regresa con grandes hombres y mujeres de la historia y sus amores. Para abrir apetito comienza con la Güera Rodríguez, mujer hermosa y estratega audaz, en amoríos con Iturbide; también nos lleva de la mano por la alcoba de Diego Rivera y sus múltiples amantes, mientras vemos de perfil a una Frida Kahlo rompiendo moldes; otra mirada dura de las pasiones es la de Isabel Motecuhzoma, hija del gran Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin, para seguir con la entereza de doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez y cerrar, como una gran cereza, con los arrebatos de don Lázaro Cárdenas.
Arrebatos carnales III (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 3)
by Francisco Martín Moreno«Con la entrega de Arrebatos carnales III [...] doy por concluida la trilogía que me permitió ver a contraluz la vida amorosa de algunos personajes de la historia patria.» Con esta obra, Francisco Martín Moreno da por concluida su Trilogía Erótica de México, acogida con justificado entusiasmo por el público lector. ¿Por qué oscura razón la historia oficial ha subido a los grandes protagonistas de nuestra historia a enormes columnas de mármol blanco como si se tratara de figuras sacralizadas, santificadas, carentes de la menor pasión carnal? ¿Se trataba de proyectar la imagen impoluta de destacados actores de nuestro pasado o más bien observar su comportamiento en su más exquisita intimidad? El autor, un acucioso investigador de los acontecimientos que definieron nuestra actual realidad, descubrió el fuego, el idilio que consumía a Melchor Ocampo, uno de los padres de la Reforma en elsiglo xix; a Díaz Ordaz, el jefe del Ejecutivo que padeció los horrores del movimiento del 68; a Venustiano Carranza, uno de los supuestos inspiradores de la Constitución de 1917; a Felipe Carrillo Puerto, el gran líder henequenero, feroz enemigo de la esclavitud yucateca; sin olvidar la configuración psicológica de un influyente inquisidor del siglo xvii en México.
