Description:


Written in the 1950s and discovered by family members years after her death, Margaret Brown Kilik's shocking coming-of-age novel of the emotional and sexual brutality of young women's lives in wartime San Antonio deserves a place on the shelf alongside classic novels like Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and Carson McCullers's The Member of the Wedding.

The Duchess of Angus reworks Kilik's unusual personal history (her mother spent the 1930s running flophouse hotels all over the United States, leaving Margaret to be brought up by a host of relatives) into a riveting portrait of a young woman navigating a conflicted and rapidly changing world, one in which sex promises both freedom from convention and violent subjection to men's will. Strikingly modern in its depiction of protagonist Jane Davis and her gorgeous, unreadable friend Wade Howell, The Duchess of Angus covers some of the same emotional territory as novels like Emma Cline's The Girls and Robyn Wasserman's Girls on Fire.

Includes an introduction by Jenny Davidson and contextual essays by Laura Hernandez-Ehrisma and Char Miller.

Not worth your time!
Format: Paperback
The abstration level of the knowledge presented in this book is mixed and poorly organized, for example, it could leap from high level suddenly into the details of import packages and codes. This book tries to cover a loooot but achieves so little in any specific topic. Sometimes the high level logic is not even consistent, sometimes the low level details contain errors. There are nonsensical sentences, poorly formatted equations, figures should be printed in color to understand but are in black and white. While I may doubt myself of not being able to delve in at the beginning, gradually it is pretty clear that it is the poor quality of this book that drags me and makes me want to finish reading as soon as possible. I cannot believe this quality of writing was generated with the help of AI. This is an evidence that human can write much poorly than AI. All the figures from the cited papers are of poor resolution and quality. I have submitted more than 15 erratas to the publisher. These just cover the obvious mistakes or errors, and cannot cover the poor organization and logic of the book. It's such a waste of my money and time!

Conquer AI Agent complexity with this comprehensive guidebook
Format: Kindle
This book delivers incredibly comprehensive coverage of AI Agents and their various components -- designing, creating, building, deploying with LLMs, RAG, Knowledge Graphs, and ML models (Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning). And more! Disclosure: the publisher provided me with a free review copy of the book.
