"Iris Murdoch: A Reassessment" is an eclectic mix of essays that
reposition Murdoch's work in relation to current debates in
philosophy, theology, literature, gender and sexuality, and
authorship. The essays refine, develop or contest previous
readings, and blur the distinction between liberal humanist and
theoretical positions, suggesting negotiations between them. The
book not only questions established critical and philosophical
positions, but also Murdoch's own pronouncements about her work. It
suggests fresh influences and interpretations, and celebrates
Murdoch's interdisciplinary modernity.
Using unpublished archive material, including correspondence and
the many annotations Murdoch made to the books held in her Oxford
library, this book offers fresh insights into Murdoch's work by
placing it within a diversity of new contexts. It also reveals
startling parallels between Murdoch's work and other literary and
philosophical texts.
An original approach to four mainstream texts for the study of
American literature and the novel in general. It examines the
strangely equivocal nature of the vision with which each of them
ends, with the central protagonists illogically clinging to their
own transcendent image of selfhood.

Now, let's talk. Despite the apparent provocative and risque nature
of the title, Wild Orchid: Not for the timid is really about the
quest for self-actualization and the ability of the human spirit to
triumph over soul-crushing adversity-and thrive. It is also about
the power and unpredictability of love, the decisions we make in
the name of love, and the price we pay for forbidden love. All of
these themes are subtly interwoven into the less-than-perfect lives
of Wild Orchid's less-than-perfect characters, which are then
sprinkled with a measured dose of sexual abandon. The story is
fluid and fast-paced, as it takes you through Jessica and Terry's
meeting to their trip to Jamaica, as Terry and his partner, Pete,
pursue a lead in a major homicide case. The characters are vivid
and relatable and may elicit some strong emotional responses,
especially if you have experienced similar circumstances in your
life. Also, expect some surprises and twists. If there are any
takeaways from this book, they would probably be: (1) Don't ever
give in to that deceitful impulse to end your life. However dire
your circumstances may be, things can change in an instant. Never
give in; there is always more purpose in living. (2) To a large
extent, you have the ability to change the course of your life-at
anytime-by the decisions you make. So, choose wisely. (3) Finally,
as my wife often says, cheating means you are making potentially
life-and-death decisions not only for yourself, but for your
partner as well. So, look before you leap. Now that I have put the
book in context for you, you can sit back, relax, take a sip, and
dive right in. Oh, by the way, don't get it twisted-this book will
also ignite your erotic passions. Enjoy - I. St. A. R.
