The Reckless Kind
by Carly HeathA genre-defying debut, this queer historical YA centers a wild and reckless trio who fly in the face of small-town tradition—full of compassion, love, and determination to live the lives of their choosing. <p><p> It’s 1904 on an island just west of Norway, and Asta Hedstrom doesn’t want to marry her odious betrothed, Nils. But her mother believes she should be grateful for the possibility of any domestic future, given her single-sided deafness, unconventional appearance, and even stranger notions. Asta would rather spend her life performing in the village theater with her fellow outcasts: her best friend Gunnar Fuglestad and his secret boyfriend, wealthy Erlend Fournier. But the situation takes a dire turn when Nils lashes out in jealousy—gravely injuring Gunnar. <p><p> Shunning marriage for good, Asta moves with Gunnar and Erlend to their secluded cabin above town. With few ties left to their families, they have one shot at gaining enough kroner to secure their way of life: win the village’s annual horse race. Despite Gunnar’s increasing misgivings, Asta and Erlend intend to prove this unheard-of arrangement will succeed. Asta trains as a blacksmith; Erlend cares for recovering Gunnar. But as race day approaches, the villagers&’ hateful ignorance only grows stronger. <p><p> With this year’s competition proving dangerous for the trio, Asta and Erlend soon find they face another equally deadly peril: the possibility of losing Gunnar, and their found family, forever.
The Reckoning
by AnonymousWasn't it the French humorist, Pierre Daninos, who said: "In the depths of every Englishman's subconscious there is a cat-o'-nine-tails and a schoolgirl in black stockings"? This anthology of contemporary short stories celebrates the extraordinary mythology that has grown up around corporal punishment and young English ladies in their late teens and early twenties. I-author of these stories and professional English schoolmistress-first became painfully aware of corporal punishment when I was a young schoolgirl. At the all-girls high school which I attended in Sussex, not only did we receive the slipper on our bottoms for quite trivial misdemeanours such as lateness, but for more serious offences we could expect anything up to six strokes from the headmistress' three-foot-long rattan cane. That this was a fairly typical situation in England, twenty or so years ago, may be illustrated by the following extract from the provincial English newspaper The Cornishman of 9 July 1964.

Reclaiming the Sacred: The Bible in Gay and Lesbian Culture, Second Edition
by Raymond J FrontainThe second edition of Reclaiming the Sacred: The Bible in Gay and Lesbian Culture continues the groundbreaking work of the original, exploring the territory between gay/lesbian studies, literary criticism, and religious studies. This much-anticipated follow-up examines the appropriation and/or subversion of the authority of the Judeo-Christian Bible by gay and lesbian writers. The book highlights two prevalent trends in gay and lesbian literature-a transgressive approach that challenges the authority of the Bible when used as an instrument of oppression, and an appropriative technique that explores how the Bible contributes to defining gay and lesbian spirituality. Reviewers of the first edition of Reclaiming the Sacred hailed the book&’s enterprise in exploring the area between literary criticism and religious studies. Whereas contemporary literary-critical theory has been slow to integrate religion and religious history into queer theory, this pioneering journal has addressed the issue from the start with a collection of thoughtful and though-provoking articles. This latest edition expands coverage to include noncanonical ancient texts, popular Victorian religious texts, and contemporary theater. Academics and lay readers interested in literary criticism, cultural studies, and religious studies will gain new insights from topics such as: religious mystery and homosexual identity in Terrence McNally&’s "Corpus Christi" same-sex biblical couples in Victorian literature homoerotic texts in the Apocrypha sodomite rhetoric in a seventeenth-century Italian text Radclyffe Hall&’s lesbian messiah in her 1928 novel The Well of Loneliness homosexual temptation in John Milton&’s Paradise Regained Reclaiming the Sacred counteracts the manipulative and oppressive uses to which modern writers and thinkers put the Bible and the "morality" it is presumed to inscribe. An important tool for understanding the role of the Bible in gay and lesbian culture, this remarkable book makes a powerful contribution to the advancement of studies on queer sanctity.
Reclaiming Two-Spirits: Sexuality, Spiritual Renewal & Sovereignty in Native America (Queer Ideas/Queer Action #10)
by Gregory D. SmithersA sweeping history of Indigenous traditions of gender, sexuality, and resistance that reveals how, despite centuries of colonialism, Two-Spirit people are reclaiming their place in Native nations.Reclaiming Two-Spirits decolonizes the history of gender and sexuality in Native North America. It honors the generations of Indigenous people who had the foresight to take essential aspects of their cultural life and spiritual beliefs underground in order to save them.Before 1492, hundreds of Indigenous communities across North America included people who identified as neither male nor female, but both. They went by aakíí&’skassi, miati, okitcitakwe, or one of hundreds of other tribally specific identities. After European colonizers invaded Indian Country, centuries of violence and systematic persecution followed, imperiling the existence of people who today call themselves Two-Spirits, an umbrella term denoting feminine and masculine qualities in one person.Drawing on written sources, archaeological evidence, art, and oral storytelling, Reclaiming Two-Spirits spans the centuries from Spanish invasion to the present, tracing massacres and inquisitions and revealing how the authors of colonialism&’s written archives used language to both denigrate and erase Two-Spirit people from history. But as Gregory Smithers shows, the colonizers failed—and Indigenous resistance is core to this story. Reclaiming Two-Spirits amplifies their voices, reconnecting their history to Native nations in the 21st century.

Recopilación de cornudos m sobre m: 13 experiencias de cornudos humeantes con un giro submisivo masculino
by Mike WatsonMucha gente ha leído mis libros y relatos, y los ha disfrutado enormemente... ¿por qué esta recopilación? Bueno, en primer lugar, porque algunas personas quieren pasar por alto lo que consideran la "pelusa" y llegar directamente a la "carne" (¡sin juego de palabras!) de la materia.Algunas personas sólo quieren llegar a las escenas reales de sexo caliente, y no hay nada malo en eso en absoluto si eso es su cosa. Personalmente, prefiero tener una historia por adelantado y LUEGO llegar al sexo. Así parece más real, pero todos hemos pasado por eso. A veces sólo necesitamos una lectura desenfrenada sin los "cuelgues", al igual que las mujeres a las que les gusta cornear a sus hombres a veces sólo necesitan un buen polvo largo sin los cuelgues. En segundo lugar, porque tengo una variedad tan amplia de libros y novelas que las posibilidades de que no los hayas leído todos, o la mayoría, son excelentes. Cada uno de esos libros contiene joyas por sí mismo, y he desenterrado algunos de ellos y los he recopilado en un formato fácil de leer para ti aquí mismo. En tercer lugar, y tal vez lo más importante, he incluido aquí dos experiencias que definen en gran medida cómo me siento actualmente sobre el cuckolding o "m on m" en general. Estas dos experiencias no están incluidas en ningún otro libro o escrito que haya escrito - - y son historias profundamente conmovedoras y emotivas de su servidor que (aunque ocurrieron hace años), recuerdo tan claramente y puedo ver delante de mí tan claramente como puedo ver las palabras en blanco y negro en esta pantalla de ordenador. La palabra cornudo en sí misma se presta a la sumisión, ya sea del hombre dominante en la escena, o de la mujer (¡y por lo general!) involucrada, pero aquí está el punto, la mayor parte de la literatura cornuda que hay (al menos lo que he visto) está orientada al BDSM, y eso está bien, por supuesto. Pero aquí es donde este libro se desmarca del resto, es decir, el giro sumiso y el hech

Recovering: A Journal
by May SartonAn affecting diary of one year&’s hardships and healing, by one of the twentieth century&’s most extraordinary memoirists For decades, readers have celebrated May Sarton&’s journals for their candid look at relationships, success and failure, communion with nature, and the curious stages of aging. In Recovering, Sarton focuses on her sixty-sixth year—one marked by the turmoil of a mastectomy, the end of a treasured relationship, and the loneliness that visits a life of chosen solitude. Each deeply felt entry in the journal, written between 1978 and 1979, is laced with poignancy and honesty as she grapples with a cold reception for her latest novel, the sad descent of a close friend into senility, and other struggles. Despite the trials of this one painful year, Sarton writes of her progression toward a hard-won renewal, achieved through good friendships, the levity provided by her cherished dog, and peaceful days in her garden. A candid account of Sarton&’s revival from personal darkness back into light, Recovering is another stunning entry in the author&’s irrepressible oeuvre.

Red+Blue (Los opuestos se atraen #1)
by A. B. GayleUn libro de la saga Los opuestos se atraenProcedente del interior del estado de Minnesota, el estudiante de actuariales Ben Dutoit acepta encantado una oferta para trabajar en la aseguradora Sidney Sutherland, una de las pocas empresas que ofrecen seguros de vida calificados como de alto riesgo. El hecho de que vaya a trabajar a la “capital gay”, también conocida como San Francisco, es la guinda de su pastel arcoíris. Ben se marca tres objetivos: ser lo bastante abierto y orgulloso de su sexualidad como para participar en el desfile del Orgullo Gay; buscar la compañía de almas afines en los clubs; y quizás, si tiene suerte, enamorarse. Pero los hombres con los que se encuentra son todo lo que él no es: corteses, seguros, sofisticados y sexis. Al contrario que el “cuello rojo” de Ben, un paleto de la América rural, todos son demócratas de sangre azul, nacidos con estatus, riqueza, y la responsabilidad que acompaña el paquete. Ben aún está preguntándose si rojo y azul pueden mezclarse cuando descubre lo que significa realmente el riesgo. La economía mundial se desploma. El trabajo que tanto deseaba está en peligro, y todos sus sueños se ven amenazados, especialmente el amor, el sueño más importante de todos.
