Therefore the Burning Bride is told through the eyes of 9 women. The nine perspectives highlight psychological, social and cultural factors which maintain these systems. Why does a mother force her own daughter to stay in an abusive relationship? Why does a neighbour who sees abuse happening turn a blind eye? What goes through the mind of someone doing the abuse?

The Peacock Manifesto: A beer-fuelled pursuit of the American Dream. Glasgow style.


Stuart David - 2018
     Stuart David’s cult classic, The Peacock Manifesto, was described by The Big Issue as ‘a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the Transporting generation,’ and by Scotland On Sunday as 'a lightning-paced explosion on the page. A feast of bruising humour.' It tells the story of Peacock Johnson, a well-dressed Glasgow hard-man who heads for America armed only with a Glen Campbell record, and an idea that he believes is guaranteed to turn him into a dance music millionaire. Peacock touches down in Chicago, and sets off on a wild road trip across the country with an ex-con called Evil Bob. Let loose in the land of gun-totting taxi drivers, gargantuan sandwiches, and ecstatic Elvis worship, Peacock watches his plans spiraling chaotically out of control as he travels towards a full on collision with American culture, at breakneck speed- doing everything he can to hold onto his Glaswegian vision of the American Dream. Praise for The Peacock Manifesto: ‘The DJing scene alone is, as Peacock might say, “pure f*cking genius”’ UNCUT ‘With a frenetic mixture of farce and reality David has created a rollercoaster ride of a novel.’ ATTITUDE ‘The f-word count is probably a world record” THE BOOKSELLER MAGAZINE

A Study Guide to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice


Jane Austen - 1994
    And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters. Bingley is complaisant and easily charmed by the eldest Bennet girl, Jane; Darcy, however, is harder to please. Put off by Mrs. Bennet's vulgarity and the untoward behavior of the three younger daughters, he is unable to see the true worth of the older girls, Jane and Elizabeth. His excessive pride offends Lizzy, who is more than willing to believe the worst that other people have to say of him; when George Wickham, a soldier stationed in the village, does indeed have a discreditable tale to tell, his words fall on fertile ground. Having set up the central misunderstanding of the novel, Austen then brings in her cast of fascinating secondary characters: Mr. Collins, the sycophantic clergyman who aspires to Lizzy's hand but settles for her best friend, Charlotte, instead; Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mr. Darcy's insufferably snobbish aunt; and the Gardiners, Jane and Elizabeth's low-born but noble-hearted aunt and uncle. Some of Austen's best comedy comes from mixing and matching these representatives of different classes and economic strata, demonstrating the hypocrisy at the heart of so many social interactions. And though the novel is rife with romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and a requisite happy ending for those who deserve one, Austen never gets so carried away with the romance that she loses sight of the hard economic realities of 19th-century matrimonial maneuvering. Good marriages for penniless girls such as the Bennets are hard to come by, and even Lizzy, who comes to sincerely value Mr. Darcy, remarks when asked when she first began to love him: "It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley." She may be joking, but there's more than a little truth to her sentiment, as well. Jane Austen considered Elizabeth Bennet "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print". Readers of Pride and Prejudice would be hard-pressed to disagree. --Alix Wilber
