And they are rude and crude and obnoxious.ĭONNELLA: Wray is also the author of "Not Quite White: White Trash And The Boundaries Of Whiteness." And he says the term is kind of an oxymoron. WRAY: They live in trailer parks and ramshackle cabins in the woods. MATT WRAY: Nowadays, the connotation is that they're probably crack or meth addicts or opioid addicts.ĭONNELLA: That's Matt Wray. REBEL SON: (Singing) I'm proud to be a redneck piece of white trash.ĭONNELLA: But the words we tend to associate with white trash are actually pretty serious - poor, lazy, uneducated, violent, dirty, immoral, racist.

LEAH DONNELLA, BYLINE: When you hear the phrase white trash, there are probably a bunch of images, maybe even some jokes, that come to mind. As part of our Word Watch series, Leah Donnella with NPR's Code Switch team looked into what the expression white trash really means. There are not many racial slurs that you hear on cable TV or read in the headlines these days. Adapted from Rand's 1938 novella, Staton's art is oddly crude for such a veteran artist, but oddly well suited for Rand's clumsy, hectoring story. Forced by the lesser men around him to flee, Equality and his lover, Liberty 5-3000, find refuge in a conveniently preserved chalet, free to rediscover eternal truths suppressed by their totalitarian forefathers. His curiosity about the mysteries of the past is anathema to those selected to rule Equality's rejection of his assigned menial role is if anything an even greater affront to his master. In a future where misguided egalitarianism has reduced a once-vibrant civilization to a handful of doctrinaire serfs living in the rubble of what once was, Equality 7-2521 rejects the mindless collectivism of his people to embrace individuality. In a book that is both shocking yet eerily convincing, Kunstler seamlessly weaves hot-button issues such as the decline of oil and the perils of climate change into a compelling narrative of violence, religious hysteria, innocence lost, and love found. And a sinister cult threatens to shatter Union Grove's fragile stability. Bandits roam the countryside, preying on the weak. Wars are fought over dwindling resources and illness is a constant presence. In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove, New York, travel is horse-drawn and farming is back at the center of life. In the sequel to his novel, World Made by Hand, Kunstler expands on his vision of a post-oil society with a new novel about an America in which the electricity has flickered off, the Internet is a distant memory, and the government is little more than a rumor. Already a renowned social commentator and a best-selling novelist and nonfiction writer, James Howard Kunstler has recently attained even greater prominence in the global conversation about energy and the environment. Maeve first becomes a reluctant whore, and then goes on to become the most coveted prostitute in Rome. She’s bought by a brothel madam, the greatest domina in Rome, and from then on, the adventure never stops. Here we meet our protagonist, in the story being narrated by her. The book though starts off in a Roman slave market, in the city that all roads led to. She’s the daughter of warrior-witches, from distant Celtic isles, foster-daughter to a great Celtic king, and trained in the lore and wisdom of druids. The second most famous woman of Christianity in this story is a wild, beautiful, red-haired Celt. The passion turns out to be full of religious imagery and wild fiction, but turns out to be a rollicking entertainer with a most remarkable story and wonderful style. I half expected another pulp-thriller that wove between religious imagery and wild fiction. After all, Mary Magdalen was a hot commodity, especially after The Da Vinci code. I started reading Elizabeth Cunningham’s The passion of Mary Magdalen with a little bit of caution. “My name,” I said one more time, “is Maeve Rhuad…….I am the daughter of the warrior witches of Tirna mBan, daughters of the Cailleach, daughter of the goddess Bride…”Īnd so it begins, one of the most remarkable adventures I’ve read in recent times.

As she pouts on the side, a man who came in the tent with the others spots her for an unknown reason as the others are being entertained by the new discovery of the elephant bird. The bird soon hatches and is a cross between Mayzie and Horton, who is rewarded for his hard work by keeping the "elephant bird" and Mayzie is punished for her laziness by getting nothing. When the egg is about to hatch, she demanded the egg back without offering Horton a reward. Many months later when Horton was sold to the circus, causing him to arrive at Palm Beach and Mayzie saw the show, bumping into Horton in the process. She is beautiful and can be a bit self-obsessed and mean but knows what she can and cannot handle in life (Although she never admits it).Īfter about a week or two of sitting on her egg, Mayzie relied and persuaded Horton to sit on her egg for a few hours, while she actually flew to Palm Beach on her vacation and decided to never go back until Horton was done. She is known to be vain and vivacious and loves making people envious of her good looks and talent.
