Summary

In "Fantasia of the Unconscious," D. H. Lawrence delves into the intricate interplay between the conscious and unconscious realms, employing a contemplative literary style that combines autobiographical elements with philosophical musings. This work, rooted in the burgeoning psychological discourse of the early 20th century, articulates Lawrence's radical views on human instincts, sexuality, and the nature of creativity. Through vivid metaphors and poetic language, he explores how societal constraints stifle individual expression and the integral role of instinct in the pursuit of authenticity and fulfillment. D. H. Lawrence, a pivotal figure in modernist literature, experienced many influences—ranging from his working-class upbringing in industrial England to his tumultuous relationships—which informed his exploration of the self. His exposure to the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud instilled in him a profound curiosity about the human psyche and the societal constructs that bind it. "Fantasia of the Unconscious" stands as a critical articulation of his philosophical stance on the need for a deeper understanding of human desires and spiritual awakening. This thought-provoking book is recommended for readers seeking an intricate understanding of the dynamics of consciousness and artistic creation. Its fusion of psychological insight and lyrical prose invites a reflective journey into the depths of humanity, making it an essential read for those intrigued by the nexus of literature and psychology.

    “A powerful reclamation.”—AudioFileThe first comprehensive audiobook about Michael Stewart, the young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983, from Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call.This program, read by multi Audie award-winning narrator Dion Graham, features a bonus conversation between the author and gallerist Patrick Fox, who rented Michael Stewart studio space in New York City.At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall.Witnesses reported officers beating him with billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma. This was, at that point, the most widely noticed act of police brutality in the city's history. The Man Nobody Killed recounts the cultural impact of Michael Stewart’s life and death.The Stewart case quickly catalyzed movements across multiple communities. It became a rallying cry, taken up by artists and singers including Madonna, Keith Haring, Spike Lee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, tabloid legends such as Jimmy Breslin and Murray Kempton, and the pioneering local news reporter, Gabe Pressman. The Stewart family and the downtown arts community of 1980s New York demanded justice for Michael, leading to multiple investigations into the circumstances of his wrongful death.Elon Green, the Edgar Award–winning author of Last Call, presents the first comprehensive narrative account of Michael Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us the story of a promising life cut short and a vivid snapshot of the world surrounding this loss. A tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene, The Man Nobody Killed serves as a poignant reminder of recurring horrors in American history and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

    Ask people to describe anxiety and they'll start with the familiar symptoms: racing heart, sweaty palms, difficulty breathing. Anxiety, they might add, is "freaking out," a panic attack, or a frightening loss of control. But anxiety isn't always what we think it is, especially now. Anxiety has become the new normal, constant and simmering, disguising itself in patterns and responses we don't even recognize as anxiety. These patterns include: 
 
 
 
● Ruminating and worrying (and mistaking it for problem solving) 
 
  
 
● Going global, or seeing the world through an overwhelming, all-or-nothing lens 
 
 
 
● Isolating and disconnecting, all too common in our "new normal" 
 
 
 
● Creating chaos and "busy-ness" 
 
 
 
The Anxiety Audit is a guide for us all: with no overly scientific or diagnostic language—just real talk and time-tested tactics from a respected therapist—it is a relatable and practical guide to untangling yourself from the grips of worry and fear. 
 
 
 
Using stories, real-world examples, and helpful dialogues to retrain the way you think and react, trusted anxiety expert Lynn Lyons helps you recognize the sneaky ways these anxious patterns and cycles of worry take hold in your life.

    It was late in the night when the group reached Pune. The soft diffused light of the ashtami moon spread over the ground. The guards at the gate came out adjusting their guns hearing the horses. One of the guards challenged,
'Kaun hai?'
One of Ibrahim's men stepped forward and slapped the guard hard shouting, 'Badtameez! Khansahab ko pehchanta nahin?'
The other guards hastily bent in mujras and salaams. The route was now clear. Ibrahim moved forward in a casual yet dignified manner as if nothing had happened. It was silence all over sans the intermittent warning shouts of the guards parading the area. Most of the Mughal troops were tired of the day long Ramzan fast and were fast asleep after a heavy meal.
