Juan, captured by Turkish pirates and sold into slavery is bought by a beautiful Princess as her toy-boy. Dressed as an odalisque, he is smuggled into the Sultan's harem for a steamy assignation. Unbelievably, Byron's publisher almost baulked at this feast of allusive irony, blasphemy (mild), calumny, scorn, lesse-majeste, cross-dressing, bestiality, assassination, circumcision and dwarf-tossing. This was the last Canto published by the stuffy John Murray (who had, however, made a tidy fortune on the earlier parts of the Epic). Although Byron's mood starts, after this, to grow darker and his bitterness at English hypocrisy to grow sharper, his discursive comedy and precise and intriguing rhyme is rarely better than in Canto V.

An assured and inventive debut, The Thoughts explores different manifestations of intrusive thoughts as part of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) before navigating through the twists and turns of recovery and love. These poems inhabit therapists' treatment rooms, waiting rooms, and everyday documents, appearing in such varied forms as emails, research proposals and kids' puzzles. Compassionate and at times painfully humorous, The Thoughts is an act of advocacy, giving voice to critically underrepresented experiences of illness through poems that are as peculiar and creative as they are arresting.Ver libro

First performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2010, Brett Neveu's breakthrough play explores the creeping onset of middle age in a group of people increasingly disillusioned by the American Dream. Five friends gather in ritual homage at an annual motocross championship in southern Michigan, but times have changed. Greg has always ridden with speed and style, but this year he brings his pregnant wife instead of his bike. As they relive past glories, the haze of beer and smoke can't disguise the fading of their friendship. 'The script — profane, vigorous and clever — neatly shows how routine joshing insult slides into real enmity as male egos grind and clash' - The Times 'Make no mistake. This is an author worth watching, and listening to.' - Chicago TribuneVer libro
