Book Description
Plunge into a crazy world where people (homos) carry a basket of physical, emotional and psychological quirks and dysfunctions. There are some inbreds, a sex-and-love-addicted transgender, a terrifying red-clawed hunk, a demented stalker, a troubled politician and a lascivious charity worker. And thats just for starters. The story is based in a South London house owned by two gay men (homo-homos), home to some of this motley crew. The two homo-homos seek to create a place where transformation and wholeness can be achieved for each member of the household in spite of their freakish singularities. Two anthropomorphic dogs, rescued from a dire Essex family, tell the story. They discover what makes life really tick, through intimate probing and questioning particularly in relation to their own body parts as well as to homo bodily functions. This is a story of honesty, of hope, of love and of laughter in the midst of an absurd world where dysfunction threatens to reign supreme.

Stories in Red and Black PDF Author: Elizabeth Hill Boone

Pages : 552

Book Description
The Aztecs and Mixtecs of ancient Mexico recorded their histories pictorially in images painted on hide, paper, and cloth. The tradition of painting history continued even after the Spanish Conquest, as the Spaniards accepted the pictorial histories as valid records of the past. Five Pre-Columbian and some 150 early colonial painted histories survive today. This copiously illustrated book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the Mexican painted history as an intellectual, documentary, and pictorial genre. Elizabeth Hill Boone explores how the Mexican historians conceptualized and painted their past and introduces the major pictorial records: the Aztec annals and cartographic histories and the Mixtec screenfolds and lienzos. Boone focuses her analysis on the kinds of stories told in the histories and on how the manuscripts work pictorially to encode, organize, and preserve these narratives. This twofold investigation broadens our understanding of how preconquest Mexicans used pictographic history for political and social ends. It also demonstrates how graphic writing systems created a broadly understood visual "language" that communicated effectively across ethnic and linguistic boundaries.
