Product Description
'I will go no further', William Niven's Indian guide declared. 'Beyond on every ridge, as far as you can see is all a part of one great City of the Dead...the gods will permit no man to go further and from here I return'. Niven, however, did continue on and discovered a remarkable expanse of ruins in the rugged state of Guerrero along Mexico's western coast. During the early 1890s, Niven's explorations were sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History. Later, he continued to explore on his own. His photographs, letters, diaries, and newspaper accounts are now the only source of information on many sites that were later destroyed by grave robbers, neglect, and the turmoil of the Mexican Revolution in 1911. His later discovery of twenty-six hundred inscribed stone tablets in the Valley of Mexico aroused considerable controversy, and inspired James Churchward to put forth an occult interpretation of the origins of the Native Americans in "The Lost Continent of Mu" (1926). They remain controversial to this day.The writer Katherine Anne Porter frequented Niven's excavations in the Valley of Mexico and based her first published short story, "Mara Concepcin", on her experiences there. She would write that the 'Old Man never carried a gun, never locked up his money, sat on political dynamite and human volcanoes and never bothered to answer his slanderers. He bore a charmed life. Nothing would ever happen to him'. Niven was planning a book about his experiences, but was unable to complete it because of ill health. "Buried Cities, Forgotten Gods" is based upon his surviving manuscripts and personal papers. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
The cultural history of 20th-century Germany, more perhaps than that of any other European country, was decisively influenced by political forces and developments. This volume of essays focuses on the relationship between German politics and culture, which ismost obvious in the case of the Third Reich and the German Democratic Republic, where the one-party control of all areas of life was extended to the arts; these were expected to conform to the ideals of the day. But the relationship between politics and the arts has not always been one purely of coercion, censorship, collusion, and opportunism. Many writers greeted the First World War with quite voluntary enthusiasm; others conjured up the National Socialist revolution in intense Expressionist images long before 1933. The GDR was heralded by writers returning from Nazi exile as the anti-fascist answer to the Third Reich. And in West Germany, politics did not dictate artistic norms, nor was it greeted with any great enthusiasm among intellectuals, but writers did tend to ally themselves with particular parties. To an extent, the pre-1990 literary establishment in the Federal Republic was dominated by a left-liberal consensus that German division was the just punishment for Auschwitz. United Germany began its existence with a fierce literary debate in 1990-92, with leading literary critics arguing that East and West German literature had basically shored up the political order in the two countries. Now a new literature was required, one that was free of ideology, intensely subjective and experimental in its aesthetic. In 1998, the author Martin Walser called for an end to the author's role as "conscience of the nation" and for the right to subjective experience. This is the first book to examine this crucial relationship between politics and culture in Germany.William Niven and James Jordan are readers in German at the University of Nottingham Trent. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars An Old Favorite
I picked this book up at a thrift store when I was barely a teen, and the rest is history. But seriously, it remains to this day one of my favorite bizarre compilations, and I wish there were more like it. I reread it every few years just for the nostalgia of growing up with this and Blue Velvet to light the way into the darkness of sexuality I knew was just below the surface out there. This isn't a dark anthology, it is sci-fi, but it's weird, and I love it.

3-0 out of 5 stars Five good stories, the rest do not measure up
With a titillating title like Alien $ex, I was expecting stories a little more disturbing, perhaps something with a touch of the squishy to it, flavored with the tangy taste of repulsion.What I discovered was mostly mild, neither horrifying or $exual, and only vaguely imaginative.

Table of contents:
1) Her Furry Face by Leigh Kennedy
2) War Bride by Rick Wilber
3) How's The Night Life On Cissalda? By Harlan Ellison
4) The Jamesburg Incubus by Scott Baker
5) Man Of Steel, Woman Of Kleenex by Larry Niven
6) The First Time by K.W. Jeter
7) The Jungle Rot Kid On The Nod by Philip Jose Farmer
8) Husbands by Lisa Tuttle
9) When The Fathers Go by Bruce McAllister
10) Dancing Chickens by Edward Bryant
11) Roadside Rescue by Pat Cadigan
12) Omnisexual by Geoff Ryman
13) All My Darling Daughters by Connie Willis
14) Arousal by Richard Christian Matheson
15) Scales by Lewis Shiner
16) Saving The World At The New Moon Hotel by Roberta Lannes
17) And I Awoke And Found Me Here On The Cold Hill's Side by James Tiptree Jr.
18) Picture Planes by Michaela Roessner
19) Love And Sex Among The Invertebrates by Pat Murphy

The five good stories are 'Her Furry Face', dealing with an orangutan rather than an alien; 'Roadside Rescue', which really does display the strange $exuality of aliens; 'Scales', a story of infidelity with a Lamia; 'And I Awoke And Found Me Here On The Cold Hill's Side', a futuristic glimpse as to where mankind might head if copulation with aliens became a mainstream practice; and 'Love And Sex Among The Invertebrates', a post apocalyptic scientist tries to breathe life back into the world.

The rest of the stories all suffered from what I term "Abstracting and Distracting".Some SF tales, mostly the older pieces in the genre, tend to believe that the more abstract their prose is, the more "alien" it appears, when in reality it is simply too distracting to read.Chunky, clunky sentences strewn haphazardly across a page and using a form of "guess what I'm thinking" detachment does not make for a smooth story.I was particularly surprised at how awful Harlan Ellison's contribution to this anthology was, but even the masters must slip once in a while.Unfortunately, too many of the stories in this collection suffer this affliction, and there are too few good ones for me to recommend this book as a 'buy'.Grab it from the library, or find a used copy.

2-0 out of 5 stars Only a couple of good stories...
... the rest was fairly disappointing and not well written.

4-0 out of 5 stars Some strong stories, some weak
As advertised, 19 tales on the theme of sex involving humans and aliens.

Sex is an important part of our lives. It is not so far fetched to believe that the same might be the case for at least some alien species.But, this area is not one that has featured widely in SF writings. Aroundhalf of the stories here are published for the first time in thiscollection.

This is not a collection of erotic writing, indeed it is moredisturbing and sometimes funny than arousing.

Horror fiction has a muchstronger tradition of covering sexual matters and some of the stories herewander along the boundary of the two genres.

Particularly "The FirstTime" by K.W.Jeter. This gruesome story is not an easy read but it isalso one of the strongest in the collection.

"All My DarlingDaughters" by Connie Willis and Leigh Kennedy's "Her FurryFace" also dwell on aspects of the human condition that you wouldn'twant to discuss with your mother. Nonetheless, they are good stories thatuse the "alien" setting to good effect.

The collection is notconfined to such serious, or even disturbing material. There are somegenuinely funny stories here too. Especially the classic "How's theNightlife on Cissalda" by Harlan Ellison and "Man of Steel, Womanof Kleenex" by Larry Niven.

Many of the stories deal with the themeof aliens as a sexual threat to humans. From lighthearted stories such asPat Cadigan's "Roadside Rescue" to the macabre "DancingChickens" by Edward Bryant.

I'd rate about three quarters of thestories in here as being above agerage or better. A couple were rather weakand the book would have been better had they been left out but, overall,this is a good collection.

Excerpt: Peter Mullan (born 2 November 1959) is a Scottish actor and film-maker who has been appearing in films since 1990. Mullan, the sixth of eight children, was born in Peterhead in the northeast of Scotland, the son of Patricia, a nurse, and Charles Mullan, a lab technician who worked at Glasgow University. His family was Roman Catholic and moved to Mosspark, a working-class suburb on the south side of Glasgow. An alcoholic and latterly a sufferer from lung cancer, Mullan's father became increasingly tyrannical and abusive. For a brief period, Mullan was a member of a street gang while at high school, and worked as a bouncer in a number of south-side pubs. His father died on the day Mullan began studying economic history and drama at the University of Glasgow. At University, Mullan began acting, and continued stage acting after graduation. He had roles in several Scottish films, including Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Braveheart, and a supporting role in Ken Loach's Riff-Raff. He also began to work as a writer and director, producing the short films Close, Good Day for the Bad Guys, and Fridge. His first full-length film Orphans won an award at the Venice Film Festival. Mullan's appearance in Loach's film My Name Is Joe, portraying a recovering alcoholic wrestling with his demons, won him the Best Actor Award at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. He appeared in the lead role in Brad Anderson's 2001 psychological/super...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3242135 ... Read more
