Debra

Reconciling the Irreconcilable

By: Penelope Morrison Chambers

A 21st CENTURY LOVE STORY BETWEEN TWO STAR STRUCK LOVERS DESPERATELY TRYING TO BRIDGE THE SACRED AND THE PROFANE An out of luck American born French Escort-Interpreter living in France is brought into a windstorm that involves an international precious stones contraband ring in support of the Zionist Cause. This, after a young corporate lawyer's satchel is stolen that contains an envelope given to her in Venice, Italy. What starts out to be a banal theft, culminates in a murder that ultimately pits an Irish-American FBI agent and a Jewish-American CIA analyst, and the role played by both agencies since the end of World War Two. An intellectual battle is drawn between Catholicism and Judaism as to what it truly means to be God's Chosen People. Written in 2002, the present Bush Administration's wish to 'liberate' Iraq serves as backdrop in the understanding American Foreign Policy, which from he country's inception has been shaped by its singular vision of democracy and freedom. It is a tale of the non-Politically Correct underside of American-European relations and how religion has influenced this troubled alliance from its very beginnings. Has 'One World' hegemonic economic interests reawakened nationalism to the detriment of our most precious liberties, as once did the 'Terror' of the French Revolution and European imperialism prior to World War One, and Hitler and Stalin between the two World Wars? Is Islamic Fundamentalism a precursor to future mass revolts against any such hegemonic intent?

Merry Wives and Others

A History of Domestic Humor Writing

By: Penelope Fritzer,Bartholomew Bland

In many ways, the history of domestic humor writing is also a history of domestic life in the twentieth century. For many years, domestic humor was written primarily by females; significant contributions from male writers began as times and family structures changed. It remains timeless because of its basis on the relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, houses and inhabitants, pets and their owners, chores and their doers, and neighbors. This work is a historical and literary survey of humorists who wrote about home. It begins with a chapter on the social context of and attitudes toward traditional domestic roles and housewives. The following chapters, beginning with the 1920s and continuing through today, cover the different time periods and the foremost American domestic humorists, and the humor written by surrogate parents, grown children about their childhood families, husbands, and Canadian and English writers. Also covered are the differences among various writers toward traditional domestic roles--some, like Erma Bombeck and Judith Viorst, embraced them, while others, like Caryl Kristenson and Marilyn Kentz, resisted them. Common themes, such as the isolation and competitiveness of housework, home as an idealized metaphysical goal and ongoing physical challenge, and the urban, suburban, and rural life, are also explored.
