In the 1990s, a boom in autobiographical novels and memoirs about incest emerged, making incest one of the hottest topics to connect daytime TV talk shows, the self-help industry, and the literary publishing circuit. In Everybody's Family Romance, Gillian Harkins places this proliferation of incest literature at the center of transformations in the political and economic climate of the late twentieth century. Harkins's interdisciplinary approach reveals how women's narratives about incest were co-opted by-and yet retained resistant strains against-the cultural logics of the neoliberal state. Across chapters examining legal cases on recovered memory, popular journalism, and novels and memoirs by Dorothy Allison, Carolivia Herron, Kathryn Harrison, and Sapphire, Harkins demonstrates that incest narratives look backward into the past. In these accounts, images of incest forge links between U.S. chattel slavery and the distributive impasses of the welfare state and between decades-distant childhoods and emergent memories of the present. In contrast to recent claims that incest narratives eclipse broader frameworks of political and economic power, Harkins argues that their emergence exposes changing structural relations between the family and the nation and, in doing so, transforms the analyses of American familial sexual violence.

“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).

Academic philosophy may have lost its audience, but the traditional subjects of philosophy—love, death, justice, knowledge, and faith—remain as compelling as ever. To reach a new generation, Paul W. Kahn argues philosophy must be brought to bear on contemporary discourse surrounding these primal concerns, and he shows how this can be achieved through a turn to popular film. In such well-known movies as Forrest Gump (1994), The American President (1995), The Matrix (1999), Memento (2000), The History of Violence (2005), Gran Torino (2008), The Dark Knight (2008), The Road (2009), and Avatar (2009), Kahn explores powerful archetypes and their hold on us, and he treats our present-day anxieties over justice, love, and faith as signs these traditional imaginative structures have failed. His inquiry proceeds in two parts. First, he uses film to explore the nature of action and interpretation, and narrative, not abstraction, emerges as the critical concept for understanding both. Second, he explores the narratives of politics, family, and faith as they appear in popular films. Engaging with genres as diverse as romantic comedies, slasher films, and pornography, Kahn gains access to the social imaginary, through which we create and maintain a meaningful world.

She’s his first love and the one woman he could never forget. He’s the Cowboy she fell in love with… and the same man who left her at the altar years ago. Sierra Baxter’s life was thrown into turmoil when the man she loved bolted out of her life years ago. Since the day he left, she has worked hard to give her son the security he needs. She’s found love and acceptance from family and friends in their small town. When the town council volunteers Sierra to be the host of Refuge Mountain’s yearly Christmas Fair, she agrees. But, the day her ex-fiancé suddenly returns to their small town, the town council eagerly chooses him as her co-host. Sierra worries knowing the secret she’s hidden from him for the past six years is about to be uncovered. Denver Callahan returns home filled with regret at how he messed things up between them. He’d been far too young and made the worst mistake of his life when he left Sierra on the day he was supposed to marry her years ago. Everything had spiralled out of control back then and he wasn’t mature or wise enough to do the right thing. In truth, he didn’t start out with plans to become a famous Country Music Singer. He’d just written songs on the side, pouring himself into his music, when one day — shortly before his wedding day — his talent was discovered. Years ago, he chose the love of music over his first love. But, he’d never forgotten her — the scent of her or her beautiful smile. Now that he’d returned, it looked like they would be forced together, co-hosting their small town’s Christmas Fair. Seeing the woman he loves once more, Denver’s attraction to her is stronger than ever. But, years of neglect and betrayal sit in between them like unbreakable walls. Maybe it’s too much to hope that Sierra would forgive him for the pain and heartache he’s caused her. But, Denver’s determined to ask for forgiveness anyway. Will Denver pick up his cowboy hat and cowboy boots and return home to stay? Can he convince Sierra that he will choose her this time... his first and forever love?
