She is something he comprehends well enough to present to her own father, in ways that he hasn’t been able to do for himself. But here, Christian’s virtuoso verbal description is how he marks Maddy as his. Many romance heroes from books of this type use sexual possession at this point in the narrative (looking at you, Woodiwiss): marriage, or kidnapping, or outright rape. But more than that, it’s a way of taking possession of Maddy, of staking a sort of ownership. I keep thinking of that early scene, where Christian turns to Maddy’s blind father and says, “Shall I describe her to you?” It’s a charming thing to do for a father who’s never seen his daughter’s face, yes. Obviously this is a book more than usually concerned with language, which Charlotte’s post does a wonderful job breaking down.

Two weeks later I rode a yak up a Tibetan mountain located well behind the Bamboo Curtain, dismounted at a snowed-in tape to meet with a priestess of polyandry, and proceeded to bust several Lamaist taboos relating to sexuality. THE EVENING OF MAY 12TH, 1967, I SLIPPED BETWEEN the sheets of a bed in a Hollywood hotel, established contact with the world famous cinema sex-kitten Misty Milo, and proceeded to break several California statutes having to do with erotic practices between unmarried members of opposing sexes. It was quite a novel way of getting inside history and Steve Victor, always a willing scholar, decided To let himself go and make the most of it. In no time at all he was being propelled from one century to another - now an orgy with the Princess Julia in ancient Rome, now a quivering clinch with Eleanor of Aquitaine during the Second Crusade in Damascus. Once inside it, Steve Victor unbelievingly found himself catapulted into the lap of the Queen of Sheba in ancient Ethiopia. He might have been content to continue his researches with this uninhibited sexual dynamo, if it hadn't been for Papa Baapuh’s time machine.

Though the interest rates were a result of Fed policy, the money-supply target let Volcker avoid the politically explosive appearance of directly raising rates himself. As money became more scarce, banks would raise interest rates, limiting the amount of liquidity available in the overall economy. This would be accomplished by limiting the growth of bank reserves, which the Fed influenced by buying and selling government securities to member banks. On October 6, 1979, after an unscheduled meeting of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, Volcker announced that he would start limiting the growth of the nation’s money supply. These were the years when the industrial workers’ movement was defeated in the United States and the United Kingdom, and third-world debt crises exploded. As chair of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987, Volcker was the most powerful central banker in the world. If someone were to make a movie about neoliberalism, there would need to be a starring role for the character of Paul Volcker.

Hamid writes: “As you and your parents and siblings dismount, you embody one of the great changes of your time. Of the decision of “you’s” father to move his immediate family from their small village (where “you” grew up surrounded by dozens of relatives) and their arrival in the metropolis, Mr. If I was around back then, I’d be hysterical all the time.
