The worlds most successful rapper continues to break records in the modern era recently reinventing himself after a drug overdose to hold his own against viral sensations like Lady Gaga & Justin Bieber. Controversy is one quality that Marshall Mathers III has never failed to deliver in spades.

This book examines for the first time the entire oeuvre of the immensely gifted poet & street culture purveyor that is Eminem. This is the definitive critical study of the man dubbed by Newsweek as "the most compelling figure in all of pop music": its a quest for the visceral troubled raison detre of Eminem." ...

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like' but Emma is irresistible. ' Handsome clever & rich' Emma is also an 'imaginist' 'on fire with speculation & foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement & imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy & the end is a triumph of understanding. ...
