The white marquee outside said Adult Films Only. Cord McGreevy, on the heels of a talkathon with his shrink, needed some reassurance of his "identity crisis". In the lobby of the Lyric, he found Ellison Greer: his physical twin, if a little smaller, and darker skin. Broad forehead, a blade nose, a chin that won the west; and a natural grace, light and bouncy, an aristocrat in a shadowed skin. Yes, it described both of them except for color: Ellison was a butterscotch prince.They coupled briefly, became deep friends on other levels, conflict never far from hand. And then: murder. After Ellison is found brutally slain, the police were less than helpful. An unusual sex toy seemed the only clue. It's up to Cord to track down the killer. His search for the truth leads through the strangest underworlds New York has to offer. In the police, in his neighbors, in the people who know the truth about that brutal, perverse, modern urban murder, he comes to where the bizarre meets the beautiful - and his very own being is at stake. Richard Hall's first novel, a delicious and quirky murder mystery, is newly introduced by Jeffrey Round (Dan Sharp mysteries)."A deliciously written, softly witty and intricately plotted gay murder mystery ... A delight!" - In Touch"Hall's canvas is thickly populated with interesting figures and he has a nice touch for the potential of the lurid and banal alike. This is a neat, tidy thriller of the Agatha Christie variety, with an amateur sleuth and a convoluted plot, lots of local color and the pleasant addition of good sex scenes. Richard Hall uses the whodunit to advantage ... humanized it in a way few have before." - George Whitmore, The Advocate"The Butterscotch Prince has my admiration ... a good read in one sitting." - Michael Lynch, The Body Politic"Hall writes ... in a measured, often moving voice that explores the difficulties of grief and commitment." - Kirkus Reviews"The elegance and refinement of Hall's prose have once again marked him as one of our most distinguished writers." - Gay Pride

His first novel, The Butterscotch Prince, was hailed in 1975 as a triumph: an explicitly gay murder mystery story with erotic elements released during the heady days of Gay Liberation. Richard Hall's career, as a writer of short and long fiction, in theatre and as a widely acclaimed book critic, flourished. Seventeen years later, Hall worked feverishly, and lovingly, to complete his second gay mystery novel, The Spinner of Tales, now released for the first time and marking 30 years since his death.Dr. Bruce Pittman runs a successful music school in New York, nurturing young talent for the concert stage. David Donnenfield has been in his orbit for nearly a decade; he arrived as a fresh-faced, somewhat tentative, 19-year-old with talent, ambition but sorely lacking polish. Now he was touring regularly to great acclaim ... until he's been charged with the bludgeoned murder of Miles Halloran, longtime friend of Bruce, and a great raconteur and world traveler.But as Bruce tries to fit the pieces together, David resists, and darker elements of Miles' life come to the surface. Worse, his battle with AIDS-related "opportunistic infections" is taking a deep toll, sapping his energy and placing him in and out of hospital. There is much more to Miles' own back story which leads to a dangerous trip to Miles' second home in Puerto Rico, threads through the world of New York publishing, and hints at drug trade and money laundering. Is anyone who they seem to be? And when, inadvertently, Bruce hands NYPD Detective Kerrison a crucial bit of evidence, David may be lost. Jeffrey Round (Dan Sharp mysteries) provides an introduction. A ReQueered Tales Original Publication.¿"Richard Hall's prose displays a rare polish, and his accounts of ordinary and exceptional lives unfold in grateful cadences." - Los Angeles Times"The elegance and refinement of Hall's prose have once again marked him as one of our most distinguished writers." - Gay Pride

The Palgrave International Handbook of Marxism and Education is an international and interdisciplinary volume, which provides a thorough and precise engagement with emergent developments in Marxist theory in both the global South and North. Drawing on the work of authoritative scholars and practitioners, the handbook explicitly shows how these developments enable a rich historical and material understanding of the full range of education sectors and contexts. The handbook proceeds in a spirit of openness and dialogue within and between various conceptions and traditions of Marxism and brings those conceptions into dialogue with their critics and other anti-capitalist traditions. As such, it contributes to the development of Marxist analyses that push beyond established limits, by engaging with fresh perspectives and views that disrupt established perspectives.
