Synopsis

In "The Chronicles of Barsetshire," Anthony Trollope weaves a rich tapestry of Victorian life through a series of interlinked novels set in the fictitious English county of Barsetshire. With a keen eye for social dynamics, Trollope employs an intricate narrative style that blends humor and keen psychological insight, exploring themes of class, ambition, and morality. Notable works within this series, such as "The Warden" and "Barchester Towers," showcase Trollope's exceptional ability to create vivid characters whose lives reflect the complexities of their societal contexts, navigating the tensions between tradition and progress during a time of rapid change in 19th-century England. Anthony Trollope, an astute observer of societal norms, drew upon his own experiences as a postmaster and a member of the burgeoning middle class to craft this seminal work. His frustrations with institutional bureaucracy and his ardent belief in the power of the individual are evident throughout the chronicles, as he deftly critiques the church and the prevailing social order while promoting empathy and understanding among his diverse cast of characters. For readers intrigued by the subtleties of human interactions and the societal structures of the Victorian era, "The Chronicles of Barsetshire" is an indispensable literary journey. Trollope's masterful storytelling and meticulous attention to character development ensure that this collection remains relevant, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring themes of ambition, faith, and community.

A Comedy of Pretzels

J.J. Boskin

When tradition twists with popular culture and lands on “people’s oral humor,” idealistic Reuben Lamberth finds himself in a mess. He is a young, progressive, inspired scholar teaching at a prestigious northeastern university, but his other unique self has another foot 
planted secretly in the world of standup comedy as Josh Sandburg. His stage name is a composite of ‘joshing’ and the renowned American poet Carl Sandburg.
 
Neither his fully tenured professor wife Byrra who is enmeshed in a cabal of women’s faculty; his tough minor gangster-hood father Solly; his staid sociology chairperson and conventional colleagues; nor his tyrannical University President Jeremiah Brittle have any idea that he performs in comedy clubs as Josh Sandburg. 
 
Should he be outed, there is considerable doubt that he will be upgraded to the coveted position of tenure, and his marriage may suffer as well. Reuben wonders, Is it worth giving up academia and taking a flyer in the world of comedy culture? The finale in this novel reveals tantalizing internecine connections that land squarely the realm of people’s oral 
humor.

Marlee's Correction - A Sweet...

J.C. Cummings

Everybody makes mistakes. Even people as sweet, innocent, and well-behaved as Marlee Sanders. When this cute freshman is hired by her sociology professor to detail his car—and his car happens to be a very expensive sparkle-red Dodge Viper—well, even Marlee can buckle under the strain of temptation!

She just can't help it. She’s just so in love with this car. And she would give just about anything for just one chance to take that beauty out for a spin!

So, after her professor and his two college-age sons, Connor and Evan, go off to play golf, leaving her alone with the car, Marlee gives in to her desire. For the next hour, she is thrilled out of her mind as she cruises along the nearby highways and byways.

Until it starts to rain and snaps Marlee out of her reverie. She hurries back and starts to work on the car...

And not a minute too soon, for, just then, her professor and his sons return home from their rained-out golf game!

And they can plainly see that she’s done very little work on the car. Worse, while she’s in the bathroom, they check the odometer, and—uh, oh—they can also see that, in their absence, Marlee took their prized car for a joyride.

Marlee is in big trouble.

But she has no idea how big until her professor informs her that her punishment will consist of a bare-bottom spanking with all of them watching.

Lying across his knee, Marlee endures the worst humiliation of her life.

Then, even worse, her professor invites Connor and Evan to have a turn.

But her pain is short-lived, for when Evan has his turn, he can't bring himself to actually spank her—opting instead for gentle caresses and love-pats.

Apparently, Evan is the only one of the three with any measure of compassion, gentleness, and kindness.

And that is precisely why, when everything is all over, he finds himself being rewarded in the most erotically gratifying ways he ever could have imagined!
