A fairy tale for grown ups, which brings together, as only Hoffman can, the fabulous & the real, chaos theory & the irrational everyday moment, in a compelling, haunting & sexy novel, with a sharp edge. The story begins with a little girl who makes a wish one snowy night & ruins her life. She grows up with a splinter of ice in her heart until one day, standing by her kitchen window, she is struck by lightning.

Instead of killing her, this cataclysmic event sparks off a new beginning. She seeks out Lazarus Jones, a fellow lightning survivor. He is her opposite, a burning man whose breath can boil water & whose touch scorches. As an obsessive love affair begins between them, both are forced to hide their most dangerous secrets
- what turned one to ice & the other to fire. The Ice Queen is a haunting story of passion, loss, second chances & the secrets that come to define us, if we're not careful.

The Idler (Issue 39) Lie Back And Protest

We are all agreed that there's a lot to complain about in contemporary society. Boredom, exploitation, an explosion of legislation and interference with our everyday freedoms: central government and big business seem to make life more difficult with each month that passes.

But do we really need to take to the streets to protest? Or would a more effective form of resistance be to take to our beds and quietly recreate our own lives? In this issue of the Idler, we reflect and philosophise on the notion of protest.

CORINNE MAIER interviews three French filmmakers making anti-work movies; we meet the brilliant history professor RONALD HUTTON. JAY GRIFFITHS writes on missionaries; JOHN NICHOLSON celebrates paradise; we ask whether there's any point in going to university
and PENNY RIMBAUD reveals the meaning of life. Plus articles on the practical side of idling with advice on treehouse-building and beer-brewing.
