On a cold night in January 2005, eighteen-year-old Shawn Stiles was brutally stabbed over 30 times and left for dead in the slums of Erie Pennsylvania. His attackers thought they could get away with murder since he was just another loser no one would ever miss. They were dead wrong. Four years later, Anthony Goodroad finds himself a newlywed married to a gorgeous blonde. But as he’s sitting with her opening wedding presents, he comes across a most gruesome gift: a photograph of Shawn’s mutilated face and naked torso lying on a medical table. It isn’t long before Anthony and his once meth addicted friends realize that someone is coming for them, and he’s dealing a warped brand of justice. They’ll face unbearable physical and psychological torture for something they may or may not be responsible for. This twisted account of absolute vengeance puts a scalpel to your eyeball, and forces you to reassess your convictions about revenge and forgiveness. How close would you stoop to the depths of hell if you were Inconsolable.

Health, illness and disease are topics well-suited to interdisciplinary inquiry.

This book is the outcome of the first global conference on Making Sense of: Health, Illness and Disease, held at St Catherine's College, Oxford, in June 2002. The selected papers pursue a range of topics from the cultural significance of narratives of health, illness and disease to healing practices in contemporary society as well as patients' illness experiences.

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Poverty Studies. Urban Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jesse Lee Kercheval. "IN FABLE OF AN INCONSOLABLE MAN, Uruguayan poet Javier Etchevarren combines clear-eyed realism with a survivor's imaginative streak to take on the poverty and violence threaded through his own childhood in Montevideo. 'When one is honest, the world is a miser, ' he writes. And despite his commitment to unblemished toughness, still, there are moments of transformation and grace in here when a mother grows extra arms to save her children, a boy becomes a beloved dead dog, and a child comes to know the world by reading wondrous encyclopedias in the library his mother cleans. Etchevarren's poems are vibrant psalms of perseverance and grit." -- Erika Meitner "In these] poems, I feel my own struggles toward adulthood and the loneliness of such a road. Reading these emotionally deft and beautiful poems make me feel less alone." -- Nate Marshall
