Review The Brothers of New Essex: Afro Erotic Adventures / Cleis Press:Available for the first time in book form, Brothers of New Essex collects original art from the author's self-published, popular erotic zine, Belasco. Comprised of over ten years of illustrations, this sexually explicit graphic novel explores black gay sex life - from basketball courts to house parties, from Sunday church service to the corner bar - in the tradition of gay art icon Tom of Finland. Not since Tom of Finland has a gay erotic artist created a visual world so entirely his own as Belasco's. But if Tom's beefy heroes looked as if they might slip into fluffy bedroom slippers at home, not so with Belascos streetwise young studs, who often ease into a hot session of male-male love with a quick uppercut and a chokehold. The characters, drawn from Belasco's several cartoon chapbooks, represent a range of gorgeous black male styles and types, all of them with cut physiques and zero inhibitions. Chief among them is Boo, the "fine-ass modern-day Mandingo" who first appeared in serial form in GBM. A construction worker with an endless appetite for the nasty, Boo is a bottom's dream come true. No one says no to Boo, and no one wants to. Other highlights include two college freshmen's first night at a sex club called Afreakas, and "What Grand'maw Saw," the closest thing to a love story in Belasco's cartoon town of New Essex. -Regina Marler.

Review Victorian Literature and the Anorexic Body (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture) / Cambridge University Press:Anna Silver examines the ways nineteenth-century British writers used physical states of the female body-hunger, appetite, fat and slenderness-in the creation of female characters. She argues that anorexia nervosa, first diagnosed in 1873, serves as a paradigm for the cultural ideal of middle-class womanhood in Victorian Britain. Silver uses the works of a wide range of writers (including Charlotte Brontë, Christina Rossetti, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker and Lewis Carroll) to demonstrate that mainstream models of middle-class Victorian womanhood share important qualities with the beliefs or behaviors of the anorexic female.

Review Love is hell: A cartoon book / M. Groening and Deborah Caplan:Matt Groening gives his comic treatment to the trauma of separation, the hell of heartbreak and the mess of marriage. The perfect antidote for Valentine's Day, this compendium of cartoon strips has advice including forbidden conversation topics in bed (such as local elections, septic tanks, chores and your partner's shortcomings). "Life in Hell" was the syndicated newspaper cartoon strip by Matt Groening which ran in the States during the 80s and early 90s. Asked to turn the characters into TV animation, Groening instead developed "The Simpsons", retaining many of the characteristics of Binky, Bongo, Sheba, Jeff and Akbar in the series. In a world where "The Simpsons" and "Futurama" are as popular as ever, these hellish cartoons featuring Matt Groening's zany brand of comic genius should prove very popular.
