The most ambitious work of fiction by a writer widely considered the most important novelist working in China today In this darkly comic novel, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in the flowerbeds and false reports fly. Conspiracies abound in a community that normalizes paranoia and suspicion. Some try to flee—whether to a mysterious gambling bordello or to ancestral homes that can only be reached underground through muddy caves, sewers, and tunnels. Others seek out the refuge of Nest County, where traditional Chinese herbal medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Each life is circumscribed by buried secrets and transcendent delusions. Can Xue's masterful love stories for the new millennium trace love's many guises—satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling—against a kaleidoscopic backdrop drawn from East and West of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, sex and romance.

“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a striking novel. Just when I was thinking there wasn't anything new on the horizon, along comes Stieg Larsson with this wonderfully unique story. I was completely absorbed.” —Michael Connelly "I doubt you will read a better book this year.” —Val McDermid Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence. But her uncle, Henrik, is convinced that she was murdered by someone from her own deeply dysfunctional family. Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is hired to investigate, but he quickly finds himself in over his head. He hires a competent assistant: the gifted and conscience-free computer specialist Lisbeth Salander, and the two unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

The Making of the Millennium tells the story of one of the most powerful myths that has ever motivated Western peoples. This is the ancient story in the Bible that describes a horrific end of the world followed for a few survivors by a new golden age called the Millennium. This book describes how the Bible's myth has managed to keep its luster for over three thousand years while other myths have faded away. It also describes how the refurbishment techniques that are found in the 'new' interpretations have kept the Bible's end-time myth alive and active in people's imaginations. The book analyses how the frequent and creative interpretations of the Bible's myth have fueled ancient and modern suicidal cults, as well as ancient and modern militias. This book highlights how the Bible contains several versions of the deity's comments on the world's end and traces the end-time myths through Egypt, the ancient Middle East, and to Persia where fast paced myth making created several exciting renditions before they found their way into the Scriptures. This book explains how imaginative new readings of the Bible's end-time myths have all too frequently burst forth from church, mosque and synagogue to cause problems everywhere from China, the Pacific Islands, to Africa. The Making of the Millennium also recounts the end of the world's impact on American history. This includes how the Puritan belief that England would be the target of the apocalypse drove them to these shores, a place they believed to be a last refuge provided by God. This book describes how the notion of God's refuge helped inspire the American Revolution, helped open up the American West, and nearly destroyed America's native peoples. This book brings the idea of the end-time refuge up to date. It is currently fueling the citizen militias in the US who believe that the UN is violating their sacred land. A situation that their stockpiled weaponry is intended to fix. Recently new myths about the planet's ultimate condition have been emerging from the mists of New Age hot tubs. The Making of the Millennium describes how the predominate forms of New Age mythology are anti end-of-the-world. There are many varieties of New Agers and their numbers are out pacing the numbers of Christians in the US, and the New Age anti end-time myths have become the wave of the future. The story of the end of the world is completely told in the following chapters: Introduction: The Once and Future End of the World 1. The Terminal Myth: Adam and Eve and Armageddon 2. The Persian Connection: The End of the World Begins 3. Gods, Wars, and Prophets: The Divine Myths 4. The Making of Messiahs: From Shepherd Boys to Militias 5. The Making of Martyrs: Ancient Heroes and Modern Victims 6. The Puritans: The World's End and America's Beginning 7. The Wild West: The Indians Meet the End of the World 8. The Tokyo Subway Bombers: Mixing Myths and Toxins 9. Keeping the End Up-to-Date: Conspiracy Theories 10. New Myths For Old: The Beginning of the End Epilogue: Space Age Religion and the End of the End of the World

Wright argues that getting ready for the millennium does not mean getting ready for the end of the world as we know it, and shows that the millennium hype is masking a deeper problem in our culture. By following some ancient words on hope, Wright outlines a practical way for creating a better world as we move into the coming age.

Is there biblical evidence for a thousand-year earthly kingdom (the Millennium) ruled by Christ before the fulfillment of the new heaven and new earth? Revelation chapter 20 seems to suggest so, but few books of the Bible are so difficult to interpret. And a discussion of the Millennium branches out into many other theological questions about the end times (eschatology): Are these the last days? What must happen before Jesus returns? What part does the church play? This Counterpoints volume compares three views of the Millennium: Premillennial: Christ will come again before this kingdom is established. Postmillennial: our present age represents that kingdom and that the church is and must move toward the fulfillment of this kingdom. Amillennial: a future Millennium is not a literal kingdom, and when Christ returns, he will usher in an immediate new heaven and new earth. Robert B. Strimple, Kenneth L. Gentry Jr., and Craig A. Blaising offer their perspectives, giving their exegetical reasoning. Each of them then responds to the views held by their peers in a respectful and informative setting, making it easy for you to compare their beliefs and gain a better understanding of how this aspect of Christianity's great hope--the return of Jesus--is understood by the church. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

Artists, art historians, and critics look at the legacies of feminism and critical theory in the work of women artists, more than thirty years after the beginning of the modern women's movement and Linda Nochlin's landmark essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" More than thirty years after the birth of the modern women's movement and the beginnings of feminist art-making and art history, the time is ripe to examine the legacies of those revolutions. In Women Artists at the Millennium, artists, art historians, and critics examine the differences that feminist art practice and critical theory have made in late twentieth-century art and the discourses surrounding it. In 1971, when Linda Nochlin published her essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" in a special issue of Art News, there were no women's studies, no feminist theory, no such thing as feminist art criticism; there was instead a focus on the mythic figure of the great (male) artist through history. Since then, the "woman artist" has not simply been assimilated into the canon of "greatness" but has expanded art-making into a multiplicity of practices with new parameters and perspectives. In Women Artists at the Millennium artists including Martha Rosler and Yvonne Rainer reflect upon their own varied practices and art historians discuss the innovative work of such figures as Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark, Mona Hatoum, and Carrie Mae Weems. And Linda Nochlin considers changes since her landmark essay and looks to the future, writing, "We will need all our wit and courage to make sure that women's voices are heard, their work seen and written about."
