Kovadlo and Batchelor have edited a thoughtful, worthwhile volume on novelist and essayist Michael Chabon.The book is divided into sections that situate Chabon in relationship to popular culture; genre conventions; ethnicity and gender; and Chabon as a writer, noting training and earlier literary movements that influenced him. The editors’ lucid introduction points out the paucity of scholarship on Chabon in comparison to such contemporaries as David Foster Wallace, Junot Diaz, and Jonathan Franzen, as well as to such forebears as Updike, Mailer, and Roth 'at similar points in their careers.' The volume is illuminating throughout. Batchelor, for instance, makes a persuasive comparison of Chabon’s flawed but likable protagonist Grady Tripp, from Wonder Boys, with counterparts in film (the Coen Brothers’ Jeff Lebowski) and in politics (Bill Clinton).Stephen Hock traces the pervasive influence of comic books on Chabon’s subject matter.Josef Benson examines 'queer masculinities' in Chabon’s fiction and nonfiction. David McKay Powell supplies a careful, close reading of Chabon’s Wonder Boys that locates possible parallels in the novel to Chabon’s development as a gifted writer with an expansive imagination. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.
A "Shadow Agenda?"
First, the Shadow Agenda is NOT
- A political movement, (even though it utilizes politics and human government as a means to accomplish its agenda.)
- It also isn't "religious," (but will readily cloak itself in religion to blind people to its real agenda.)
So what is it then, and why must it be destroyed?
The "Shadow Agenda" is an ancient evil conspiracy originating in the unseen, spiritual realm, populated by highly intelligent malevolent beings who have one singular obsession... the enslavement and eventual destruction of all humanity. They are the evil "puppet masters" pulling strings from behind the scenes to entice and manipulate fallen humanity to narcissistic acts of unspeakable violence, cruel depravity, and selfish ambition to power and wealth.
In this cogent book, Dr. Bruce Porter reveals a dark spiritual conspiracy that is corrupting America's moral character and actively "dumbing-down" our citizens on every level. He reveals compelling historical evidence that the United States was originally founded upon Christian principles by Christians, as a Constitutional Republic (not a Democracy) and has an unfulfilled destiny.
Destroying the Shadow Agenda exposes the highly censored, yet profound influence of biblical Christianity upon the Founders and the Republic they forged, making possible the greatest experience of political and religious freedom in all of human history. Is it possible to recapture those cardinal foundations of liberty again? Bruce believes it is inevitable!
Destroying the Shadow Agenda is a prophetic revelation and call to action that will impart powerful encouragement and reveal the heavenly strategy that will ultimately defeat the Shadow Agenda and establish God's final dominion over the entire Earth under Christ."
