Serenissima: A Novel of Venice
by Erica JongSerenissima is the story of a love so great it bends time out of shape. A novel of Venice today and Venice in its illustrious past, this exquisite tale gives the reader both a compelling portrait of our modern-day film world and a clue to the passions behind Shakespeare's most enigmatic work. Jessica Pruitt is a popular Hollywood actress in her forties who has come to Venice to be a judge in the Venice Film Festival. In the rollicking paparazzi-crazed atmosphere of the festival Jessica senses that something mysterious is in the air. She begins receiving roses and sonnets from an unknown admirer who seems to be beckoning her to leave the narcissistic present and enter an enchanted past. The weather grows colder, the tourists depart, the canals freeze; it is one of the coldest autumns in history. Jessica is captive in Venice and goes deeper and deeper into Shakespeare and the history of the city, which the Venetians call "La Serenissima." While exploring the Jewish ghetto of Venice, Jessica suddenly finds herself at the Grand Canal in the Venice of Shakespeare's time-where she has, at once, been transformed into a Venetian Jewess of the sixteenth century. Shakespeare and his patron, the Earl of Southampton, have come to Venice to escape the plague, which rages in England, and a passionate love triangle develops among the three. Jessica experiences the great sensual love she has always been seeking, a love that history decrees cannot last, except in the timeless world of poetry.

Serial Killers in Contemporary Television: Familiar Monsters in Post-9/11 Culture (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies)
by Brett A.B. RobinsonThis volume examines the significant increase in representations of serial killers as central characters in popular television over the last two decades. Via critical analyses of the philosophical and existential themes presented to viewers and their place in the cultural landscape of contemporary America, the authors ask: What is it about serial killers that incited such a boom in these types of narratives in popular television post-9/11? Looking past the serial format of television programming as uniquely suited for the presentation of the serial killer’s actions, the chapters delve into deeper reasons as to why TV has proven to be such a fertile ground for serial killer narratives in contemporary popular culture. An international team of authors question: What is it about serial killers that makes these characters deeply enlightening representations of the human condition that, although horrifically deviant, reflect complex elements of the human psyche? Why are serial killers intellectually fascinating to audiences? How do these characters so deeply affect us? Shedding new light on a contemporary phenomenon, this book will be a fascinating read for all those at the intersection of television studies, film studies, psychology, popular culture, media studies, philosophy, genre studies, and horror studies.
