Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Slings and Arrows delivers a literary tour de force with unflinching candor and emotional depth. Set in early 1980s Detroit against the backdrop of Reagan-era conservatism, twenty-two-year-old Jamie Goldberg navigates the treacherous territory between self-destruction and redemption. After surviving a period of anonymous sexual encounters, Jamie seeks connection through political activism and theater, discovering in Shakespeare's Hamlet a mirror for his own struggles with identity and desire. Like Philip Roth confronting taboos through searing introspection, Arnowitz-Taylor creates in Jamie a protagonist of remarkable psychological complexity-a young man confronting the ultimate challenge: learning to love himself in a world determined to make that impossible. With echoes of Tony Kushner's moral urgency and Edmund White's sensual honesty, this novel transforms personal trauma into artistic triumph.After years of self-destructive promiscuity fueled by alcohol, drugs, and trauma, theater student Jamie Goldberg has sworn off the dangerous underworld that nearly consumed him. But when he's cast as Horatio in his university's production of Hamlet, what should be a triumph becomes another trap-the predatory director expects sexual favors, and Jamie must share the stage with Ben, his former bully, now playing the lead.Throwing himself into his studies, then politics, then a job at a conservative bank that alienates his liberal friends, Jamie tries everything to avoid confronting what he finds 'profoundly unacceptable' about himself. But the shadows of his teenage sexual assault follow him everywhere, warping his understanding of love and desire. Even his activist mother can't accept her gay son.In 1980s Detroit, where the LGBTQ community seemed to exist only in 'dark, loud, and seedy bars,' Jamie faces an impossible choice: continue running from his authentic self, or finally embrace the truth that terrifies him most. But in a world filled with violent ex-cons, dangerous exes, and predators masquerading as mentors, finding the courage to be himself might be the most dangerous act of all.'An excellent coming-of-age novel with an indelible lead.' -Kirkus ReviewsContent Note: This novel contains mature themes including past sexual trauma, substance use, and adult sexual content. Recommended for readers 18+.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Jamie Goldberg suspects his homosexuality at an early age. He manages to hide it from his homophobic Seventies Detroit community, his Jewish political activist parents, and even from himself until his rape, at the hands of a male prostitute, at the age of 16. Profoundly ashamed, he hides in two worlds. One world is an intellectual cocoon spun from music, art, theater, and literature. The other is a darker world where sadomasochistic desires attempt to obliterate his sexuality. His elaborate fantasies are no match for real life or his true affections, which blossom in spite of his constant attempts to thwart them. When his carefully constructed imaginary world begins to crumble, Jamie must face his demons, both real and invented, then the emotional sparks fly. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Detroit, 1982. Theater student Jamie Goldberg has rebuilt his life after a destructive spiral of promiscuity and dangerous encounters. When he's cast as Horatio in his university's production of Hamlet, it should be a triumph-until he discovers he'll be sharing the stage with Ben, the schoolmate who tormented him for being gay.Desperate to avoid confronting his authentic self, Jamie throws himself into contradictory identities: campus activist clashing with his progressive mother who can't accept her gay son, then conservative bank employee alienating his liberal friends. Each role feels like another performance, another escape from truths he finds "profoundly unacceptable."But the shadows of his teenage sexual assault follow everywhere, warping his understanding of desire and intimacy. In early 1980s Detroit, where LGBTQ+ community exists in "dark, loud, and seedy bars," Jamie struggles to distinguish authentic connection from self-destructive patterns.As Hamlet rehearsals intensify, parallels between Jamie's evasions and the Danish prince's torment become undeniable. Like Hamlet confronting his father's ghost, Jamie faces the specter of his true self-complete with desires and needs he's been taught to despise.When Jamie's carefully constructed identities collapse, he confronts the ultimate question: How do you accept parts of yourself the world has taught you to reject? And how do you separate trauma from authentic desire when every community-family, school, even LGBTQ+ spaces-has expectations about who you should be?Set against mysterious illness beginning to claim lives in shadows, Slings and Arrows explores the exhausting work of constant reinvention and courage required to stop running from yourself. This unflinching examination of how trauma shapes identity and communities both liberate and constrain reveals the difference between performing identity and living it.As Jamie's worlds collide in Shakespeare's most psychologically complex play, the stage meant to save him becomes where he finally stops acting and starts being-whatever the cost.Kirkus Reviews calls it "an excellent coming-of-age novel with an indelible lead," praising "humorous, approachable prose" while noting "readers will no doubt see something of their own young selves" in Jamie's struggle.Slings and Arrows powerfully concludes The Goldberg Variations trilogy-about choosing authenticity over approval and the profound courage self-acceptance requires.
