Description:
A vital and timely reminder that modern life owes as much to outlandish
thinking as to dominant ideologies.
What do the Nag Hammadi library, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, speculative
feminist historiography, Marcus Garvey's finances, and maps drawn by asylum
patients have in common? Jonathan P. Eburne explores this question as never before
in Outsider Theory, a timely book about outlandish ideas. Eburne brings readers on
an adventure in intellectual history that stresses the urgency of taking seriously
— especially in an era of fake news — ideas that might otherwise be discarded or
regarded as errant, unfashionable, or even unreasonable.
Examining the role of such thinking in contemporary intellectual history, Eburne
challenges the categorical demarcation of good ideas from flawed, wild, or bad ones,
addressing the surprising extent to which speculative inquiry extends beyond the
work of professional intellectuals to include that of nonprofessionals as well, whether
amateurs, unfashionable observers, or the clinically insane.
Considering the work of a variety of such figures — from popular occult writers and
gnostics to so-called outsider artists and pseudoscientists — Eburne argues that an
understanding of its circulation and recirculation is indispensable to the history of
ideas. He devotes close attention to ideas and texts usually omitted from or
marginalized within orthodox histories of literary modernism, critical theory, and
continental philosophy, yet which have long garnered the critical attention of
specialists in religion, science studies, critical race theory, and the history of the

Cliffhanger oh my
Format: Kindle
I liked this a lot. Fast paced, some deception, a lil bit of scheming, and not such a happy ending.

Good Read
Format: Kindle
Dahlia, Ryken and Aiden are in quite the lovers triangle. I was very invested in Dahlia’s story and what was going to happen next. I loved that she fought for herself and tried to stand up for what she believed and her friends, rather than just giving in. Even though there were predictable portions of the story, I was still invested enough not to care. I’m curious what will happen in book 2. The spice level is mild, but maybe it will get spicier?? The only reason I gave the story four stars was because the world building in the beginning of the story was a bit confusing. I could’ve used a bit more explanation. Overall - I recommend to anyone who loves a story about lovers triangles & a FMC who struggles with an overwhelming power.

SO GOOD!!
Format: Kindle
Okay this is definitely one of my favorite books of 2023. I was in a reading slump and this book made me feel excited! I read it all day and stayed up till 3 to finish it, could not put it down.
Spoilers so you may wanna stop reading.
Spice? ✅ plot? ✅ magic? ✅
I loved the fact that our fmc romance did not just start with the mmc. Like cmon most people don’t end up with their true love right away and we gotta kiss a couple toads before we find him. I LOVED our Ryken omg new book boyfriend. I am just sad I have to wait now for the next book. That ending!!

The gasp I gasped!
Format: Kindle
Okay so “dark fantasy” is not a go to of mine, like at all. But OMG! I loved this. I personally didn’t feel like any of the themes were that “dark”. The story and the characters were so intriguing and I was instantly hooked! It was such a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end, and it was well worth it!

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
