The Maidens of Babylon by S. Monique Craig, ISBN 1589393759
Monica Crawford, better known as Nikki, is a passionate young woman whose complicated life has transformed her into the biblical demon Lilith, a half-woman/half-serpentine shape-shifter from Hell.Living in Washington, DC, Nikki and her recovering drug-addicted husband, Stefan, move to New Mexico where they hope to build a new and happy life. But their marriage soon falls apart, and Nikki is led into the dark underground world of exotic dancing and sadomasochism.Nikki's life becomes even more complicated when a rattlesnake bites her after she tries to escape Max, a self-confessed serial killer and rapist. She returns to DC to work at the Babylon Nightclub, and soon discovers that her body is gradually changing, until she eventually transforms into the demon, Lilith. Meanwhile Nikki's best friend, another stripper at the Babylon, discovers that several of the club's exotic dancers have been missing. Celia and Benjamin, a patron of the Babylon, convince Nikki that she is the key to solving the mystery of the missing women, even though they don't know about her shape-shifting ability.Told from a first-person perspective and illustrated, the plot becomes increasingly complex as we follow Nikki and her friends on their dark adventure of murder, deceit, and Nikki's own self-destructive behavior.A mixture of fantasy, science fiction and horror, The Maidens of Babylon is a tragic and doomed tale of one woman's journey of self-discovery.
The Theory of Decorative Art: An Anthology of European and American Writings, 1750-1940 by Isabelle Frank, ISBN 0300088051
This anthology gathers together the most significant writings on the theory of the decorative arts from the mid-eighteenth century to the 1940s. The volume offers the first history of the theory of decorative art as it emerged in the West and reconstructs the debates over how to define this category of art and distinguish it from the fine arts (music, poetry, architecture, painting, and sculpture).
The selections include well-known texts and less familiar writings, many translated into English for the first time, that reveal how architects, designers, and critics as well as sociologists and historians have thought and written about decorative art. Through the writings of such thinkers as Diderot, Riegl, Wolfflin, Goethe, Ruskin, Elias, Wright, and Loos, the anthology traces the shifting nature of the boundaries between decorative and fine art over two centuries. These writers, faced with new art forms that challenged accepted notions of art, elaborated aesthetic theories capable of encompassing...

America Hurrah and Other Plays: Eat Cake, the Hunter and the Bird, the Serpent, Bad Lady, the Traveler, the Tibetan Book of the Dead by Jean-Claude Van Itallie, ISBN 080213761X
Jean-Claude van Itallie is one of the most distinguished playwrights of the American avant-garde. A keen deconstruction of American popular culture, the America Hurrah triptych served notice that here was a major new dramatic voice. Rounded out with such works as Bag Lady, written in the voice of a deceptively insightful homeless woman; The Serpent, a fanciful interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve; The Traveller, which depicts a charismatic and brilliant artist recovering from a stroke; and van Itallie's dazzling play based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, America Hurrah & Other Plays is a definitive collection of the work of a major American playwright.

The Space of Appearance by George Baird, ISBN 0262523434
Combining history, theory, and polemic, George Baird probes the conceptual lineage and current expressions of postmodernism and the critique of modernist architecture over the past four decades, revealing the general failure to develop an architecture that is politically engaged and affirmative of the public sphere. Hannah Arendt's imperative of worldliness plays a pivotal role in Baird's reading of what has come to be called architecture's belief system. It is not enough, he argues, to reject the totalizing models that have been typical both of modernism and of many of its postmodern successors. Rather it is necessary to construct a public "space of appearance" that is large and diverse enough to make places for all of us. Baird stakes out clearly and sharply the recent history of ideas that bear on the field, recovering influences and ideas that have been omitted from standard histories of modernism. The period since 1960 has seen the collapse of the conditions that shored up modern architecture,...
