Harry Levin--one of America's major literary critics--offers a brilliant and original study of the whole world of comedy, concentrating on playwrights through the centuries, from Aristophanes and Plautus in classical times to Bernard Shaw and Bertolt Brecht and their recent successors. Viewing the comic repertory as a richly varied yet broadly unified whole, Levin provides a synthesis of theories and practice. Isolating two fundamental aspects of comedy--the ludicrous and irreverent "playboy," whom we laugh with, and the ridiculous and forbidding "killjoy," whom we laugh at--he traces the dialectical interplay of these components throughout history and across various cultures and media. While mainly focusing on the plays and the stage, with discussions of such major dramatists as Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Molière, and William Congreve, Levin also includes essays on such related topics as humor, satire, and games.

Hundreds of years of ridicule, persecution, erasure, misunderstanding, and institutionalization could put anyone in a bad mood. Killjoy invites you into her Kastle for a queer exorcism of the past.Lesbian feminist histories can have a haunting effect on the present. This book explores the making and experience of Killjoy's Kastle, an immersive walk-through installation and performance artwork (by Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue). Inspired by Evangelical Christian hell houses of the past, the exhibition has been staged in three cities so far – Toronto, London, and Los Angeles – engaging thousands in interactive encounters with the spirits that haunt feminist and queer history. Where traditional hell houses set out to scare and convert, Killjoy's Kastle cheekily aims to provoke and pervert. Inside Killjoy's Kastle extends and reflects on the theoretical and political legacies of the installation in chapters by queer and feminist scholars and in vignettes by participating artists. The many colourful photos in the book offer an important visual context that bring the Kastle to life.

Indian Medicine Power is based on personal research and extensive interviews with medicine people of numerous tribes. Through these accounts of medicine people, Brad Steiger demonstrates the power of ancient medical practices in the modern world. As more than an objective observer, the author was himself initiated into the medicine lodge of the Wolf Clan of the Seneca Tribe. Indian Medicine Power treats medicine culture and religion as a practical system of thought, not merely as folklore and magic. It shows how medicine power can help us discover our individual sources of strength and achieve purpose in our lives.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release, the sophomore album from the Syria-born, Los Angeles-based folk singer/songwriter.
