Werke II. Band 4: Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit 4. Sodom und Gomorrha
by Marcel Proust, Eva Rechel-Mertens
"»Sodom und Gomonha« beginnt mit einer spektakulären Szene, der Begegnung zweier Männer, die von der Natur füreinander geschaffen sind: Baron von Charlus und der Westenmacher Jupien. Endlich öffnet Proust seinem Romanhelden die Augen; Marcel erhält Antwort auf die bisher unbeachteten oder unverstandenen Zeichen der Homosexualität. Nach der mondänen Welt der »Guermantes« tun sich nun neue Welten auf, die die »Recherche« in der Folge auskundschaften wird: Sodom, die Welt der männlichen, und Gomorrha, die Welt der weiblichen Homosexualität."

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2024Rochester and the pursuit of pleasure
by Larry D Carver
Rochester and the pursuit of pleasure provides a reading of Rochester's poems, dramatic works, and letters in a biographical context. In doing so, it sheds light on a central vexed issue in Rochester criticism, the relationship of the poet to his speaker. It also reveals that Rochester's work clusters about a central theme, the pursuit of pleasure, a pursuit motivated by a courtship of purity that grew out of Rochester's Christian and God-fearing upbringing. This rhetoric of courtship, in turn, reveals the unity of Rochester's work as the courtier and his various personae try to persuade his audiences, secular and divine, of his worth.

July 2021The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream
The Hunt for a Victorian Era Serial Killer
by Dean Jobb
“When a doctor does go wrong, he is the first of criminals, he has the nerve and he has the knowledge,” Sherlock Holmes observed. At the time the words of the fictional detective appeared in The Strand Magazine, a real-life Canadian doctor was murdering women in London’s downtrodden Lambeth neighbourhood. Dr. Thomas Cream had been a suspect in two deaths in Canada, and killed four people in Chicago before arriving in London in 1891 and using pills laced with strychnine to kill prostitutes. The "Lambeth Poisoner" became one of the most prolific serial killers in history. Dean Jobb reveals how bungled investigations, corrupt officials, and failed prosecutions allowed Cream to evade detection and kill again. Alongside an inside account of Scotland Yard’s desperate search for a brazen killer, Jobb explores how the morality and hypocrisy of the Victorian era enabled Cream to poison the vulnerable and desperate women who had turned tohim for help.

Ascópolis
by José Ángel Balmori
Ascópolis turns the most tragic stories into absurdities and scenes of endless laughter. The grotesque and the gore, the cheesy and the dirty are its specialties. He prefers scoundrels to heroes. "Ascópolis" has no moral sense, no scruples. It wants to make people laugh more than presenting a great reflection. They are visceral short stories with unrelenting honesty that might annoy anyone.
