A spare, elegantly simple exploration of father-son love and father-son hate. Equally strong passions, left unbridled, one can be harmful, the other deadly. Based on a real event, Patricide begins with a brutal homicide on the Iowa prairie in 1920. Told by several observers, the subject is handled with the respect befitting these salt of the earth people bewildered by the horrifying act of fifteen-year-old Carl Jess. What drove this boy to patricide? What was his motivation? Did he believe he had something to gain, or was he totally deranged? While the community wrestles with these questions, attempting to sort fact from speculation, the five men closest to the case examine their relationship with their sons. The killer, Carl Jess, has a point of view, too. Stirring the pot is Augusta Duvall, the first female reporter for the Des Moines Register, who publishes a sensationalized and somewhat fictional portrayal of Carl Jess. She also stirs romantic feelings in John Glover, 50 years her senior; they become the target of gossip. Patricide will have readers contemplating their life and family relationships. Given circumstances similar to Carl Jesss, who among us might commit murder? Christensens authentic voice carries readers beyond the opening shock of patricide into the hearts and minds of a rich cast of characters who explore the complexities of the human condition that tie, bind, and wound families. Long after closing this thought-provoking novel readers will find themselves asking: Why? JB Hamilton Queen: author of Dagger in the Cup, NIEBA Award; Raincrow; Imminent Reprisal; Masters of the Breed; and Sweet Gums.

In this beautifully and compassionately told tale, unfolding from multiple perspectivesthe sheriff, the newspaper reporter, the reverend, the young killer himselfMadonna portrays a community struggling to live with incomprehensible evil. Once youve read this story, it will be a light for your journey for the rest of your life. Marshall J.

Roland Marks is a Nobel Prize winning novelist with a penchant for younger women and four marriages behind him. Lou-Lou Marks, his grown daughter, is a successful academic in her own right. But her real career lies in attending to her father. An egomaniacal and emotionally manipulative man, he demands of her absolute filial loyalty and an uncompromising acquiescence to his every need—her only reward is his approval, which she feels she never fully receives, but desperately desires. When Roland falls in love with a woman fifty years his junior, Lou-Lou senses the precarious decline of her power. Intent on preventing Roland from marrying for a fifth time and signing away his estate—and her inheritance—the relationship takes a darkly comical turn. Astute, insightful, and mordantly hilarious, Patricide is Joyce Carol Oates at her best.

D. Foy's second novel is a tornado of brutal Americana. PATRICIDE is a heavy metal Huck Finn that whips up the haunted melancholy of Kerouac's Doctor Sax, a novel of introspection and youth in its corruption that seethes with the deadly obsession of Moby-Dick, and the darkness of Joy Williams' State of Grace. Beyond the story of a boy growing up in a family derailed by a hapless father, PATRICIDE is a search for meaning and identity within the strange secrecy of the family. This is an existential novel of wild power, of memories, and of mourning-in-life, softened, always, by the tenderness at its core. With it, Foy's place among the outstanding voices in American literature is guaranteed.

As a clinician, she explains the reasons behind the killings. Understanding Parricide includes in-depth discussion of issues related to prosecuting and defending parricide offenders. The book is enriched with its focus on clinical assessment, case studies, and follow-up of parricide offenders, as well as treatment, risk assessment, and prevention.

"Shortly after the allied invasion of France in 1944 the tiny village of Oradour-Sur-Glane, located in the south of France, was suddenly and with no discernible reason surrounded by a German SS division. The inhabitants were segregated into groups then brutally massacred and the village burned to the ground. No reason was ever found for the atrocity and the village was never rebuilt. Gerard Beaulieu is a young boy who witnesses his parents being killed by the Commanding Officer of the division and vows revenge. He escapes and joins the Underground movement only to find out that the man he is chasing is his biological father. His chase ends when he finds evidence that the Officer has been killed by the Allies. Many years later he attends a war crimes trial and is reunited with a friend from his town. She informs him that the officer is alive and living in her village under an assumed identity. Gerard's thirst for revenge is rekindled and he takes up the quest he had started so many years before."

Dave Harris's stellar debut takes a nuanced look at the complexities of black masculinity. Patricide weighs those complexities and how they impact a lineage of black boys who fight to become men in the image of their fathers. More than just a book about fear or death centered on being black in America, Patricide illuminates the internal struggle to be the best man possible with the shadow of other men at your back. Through poems on loss, music, college, and family strife, Harris examines how time shifts and changes, despite so much of a life’s architecture staying the same. Ultimately, Patricide opens itself up to reveal a story of many threads, one that finds a way to tie together in unexpected and joyful ways.

Parricide And Violence Against Parents Throughout History written by Marianna Muravyeva and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-10-16 with History categories.
This book combines the approaches of history and criminology to study parricide and non-fatal violence against parents from across traditional period and geographical boundaries, encompassing research on Asia as well as Europe and North America. Parricide and non-fatal violence against parents are rare but significant forms of family violence. They have been perceived to be a recent phenomenon related to bad parenting and child abuse often in poorer socioeconomic circumstances – yet they have a history, which provides insights for modern-day explanation and intervention. Research on violence against parents has concentrated on child abuse and mental illness but, by using a rich array of primary and secondary documents, such as court cases, criminal statistics, newspaper reports, and legal and medical literature, this book shows that violence against parents is also shaped by conflicts related to parental authority, the rise of children’s rights, conflicting economic and emotional expectations, and other sociohistorical factors.
