Translated by Sarah Booker and Robin Myers A city is always a cemetery. When a professor named Cristina Rivera Garza stumbles upon the corpse of a man in a dark alley, she finds a stark warning on the brick wall beside the body, scrawled in coral nail polish: 'Beware of me, my love / beware of the silent woman in the desert.' After reporting the crime to the police, the professor becomes the lead informant of the case, led by a detective with a newfound obsession with poetry and a long list of failures on her back. But what has the professor really seen? While more bodies of men are found across the city, the detective tries to decipher the meaning of the poems, and the darker stream of violence spreading throughout the city. From one of Mexico's greatest living writers, Death Takes Me is a dark and dazzling literary thriller that flips the traditional crime narrative on its head, in a world where death is rampant and violence is gendered. Unfolding with the charged logic of a dream in sentences as sharp as the cuts on the bodies of the victims - a word which, in Spanish, is always feminine - it explores with masterful imagination the unstable terrains of desire and sexuality.

This work is a Publishing Pathway's edition of nine scholarly essays that were presented at the 2000 Birkbeck conference at the University of England.

Birrell, and Otto S. Lankhorst presented essays.

Eight essays from a conference in London (no date noted) explore various aspects of the Company's 400-year history, drawing on the recent microfilm publication of its entire archive. The Company was formed by British booksellers, stationers, printers, binders, and other producers and dealers to protect their trade interest and exert control in such matters as apprenticeship and the number of master printers. Among the topics are William Cecil, members who served in the Artillery Company before the Civil War, the discourse in the 17th century, the smuggling of pirated editions from Ireland to Scotland, and Welsh efforts to join the London-dominated association. Part of a series on the history of books. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
