A story of greed, duplicity and death in the flamboyant, super-ego world of rock celebrities. Dystopia have rocketed up the charts in Europe, so now it's time to crack the American market. The opening concert in Las Vegas is a huge success -- but secret envy and open animosity have begun to tear the group apart. The lead singer, Vid, is on a roller-coaster of self-indulgence and egomania... Jared, the lead guitarist, increasingly resents being shouldered out of the limelight... Spin, the warm-up DJ, just cannot resist a dangerous extra-marital adventure... nor can their manager, Alex, resist the lure of personal gain that greed and duplicity could bring him. Then one of them dies, in an apparent accident, and there begins to unravel a chilling saga of dark emotions, cynical manipulation, and murderously ruthless self-interest.

Inspiring, unflinchingly honest, and even at times laugh out loud hilarious, THE ELEGANT ART OF FALLING APART shows us how, sometimes, we have to lose everything to understand that the moment is all we have - and living that moment with style, grace and a damn good lipstick is all that matters. Jessica Jones had a complicated life - booze, cocaine, bad boyfriends, a rollercoaster ride of what self help writers call ‘opportunities for growth’ - but she got way from all that. She rebuilt her career, became prosperous and, at last, found happiness in a wonderful, new relationship. Just when things were almost perfect she learned that she had breast cancer and so Jessica did what she’s always done, she got through it. After seven months of gruelling treatments she travelled from London to Sydney to begin a three-month holiday of a lifetime with her gorgeous man - only to find herself plunged into a different, and totally unexpected, life crisis. Jessica’s story of courage, friendship and laughter gives us all hope that, no matter what, we can always start again.

"You showed me love through your hand that never lets go of mine and taught me how to endure painful goodbyes through the smiles you give me before leaving" The Art of Falling is a queer poetry collection that deals with falling in love and the challenges and questions that arise therefrom. Exploring the different aspects of love, hurt and joy, this collection of selected poems illustrates the intricate ways in which past experiences can influence one's emotions and attempts to put into words the most complicated, contradictory feelings. No one chooses who they fall for, and with themes of yearning, trauma and the pain of a broken heart, The Art of Falling is a profound exploration of the wonder of getting to know a person in the most fascinating way: falling in love.

This book proposes a new approach to the problem of aesthetic experience in Western culture. Noting how art world phenomena evoke conventional psychoanalytic speculations about narcissism, the authors turn the tables and “apply” aesthetic questions and concerns to psychoanalytic theory. Experimenting with Freudian and post-Freudian concepts, they propose a non-normative theory of the psychic drive to address and embrace deep tensions in the post-Renaissance aesthetic project, the rise of modernism, and the contemporary art world. It is argued that these tensions reflect central conflicts in the development of patriarchal civilization, which the emergence of the aesthetic domain, as a specialized range of practice, exposes and subverts. The postmodern era of aesthetic reflection is interpreted as the outcome of a complex narcissistic dialectic of idealization and de-idealization that is significant for the understanding of contemporary culture and its historical prospects.

At last, the broader movements of twentieth-century Swiss art--and the individual artists behind them--are tracked through the present day in one standard-setting publication. Swiss Made: Precision and Madness sets the famous Swiss tendency toward precision and order alongside the tendency toward obstinacy and chaos, pairing canonical works with pieces made within the past 40 years. Provocative pairs include Max Bill and John Armleder, Ferdinand Hodler and Urs Lüthi, Alberto Giacometti and Rémy Zaugg, Louis Soutter and Martin Disler, Robert Müller and Sylvie Fleury, Paul Klee and Silvia Bächli, Adolph Wölfli and Ugo Rondinone. Tensions emerge between the focused and the expansive, over everyday life in the Swiss state, and naturally over the mountains. Swiss Made: Precision and Madness is of interest on its own analytic terms, and as an excellent overview of the country's art since 1850.
