![]() ![]() Armed with only her revolver, her wits, and her untameable Demdji powers, Amani must rally her skeleton crew of rebels for a rescue mission through the unforgiving desert to a place that, according to maps, doesn’t exist. But after the bloodthirsty Sultan of Miraji imprisoned the Rebel Prince Ahmed in the mythical city of Eremot, she doesn’t have a choice. When gunslinging Amani Al’Hiza escaped her dead-end town, she never imagined she’d join a revolution, let alone lead one. *Because this book is the third and final in the series, there ARE going to be spoilers, because I don’t think I can write this review without them…* I read Rebel of the Sands when it first came out, and following Amani on her journey across the desert, into the Sultan’s palace in Traitor to the Throne, and back across the desert , has been a delightful (and not so delightful) journey. I feel like I have been waiting for this all my life. Ahhhhh, here it is: the final book in the Rebel of the Sands trilogy. ![]()

Furthermore, I will look at Miller's use of puns within the novel and how they also contribute to a homoerotic reading. Originally banned in the United States for its graphic sexual content, Henry Millers classic novel, Tropic of Cancer (1934), follows an unnamed narrator on. By looking at the nature of the male-male relationships, as well as the lack of emotion and presence in the male-female relationships, I will show that the most intimate relationships are between men, and that these relationships are expressed through the telling of stories about (heterosexual) sex this is the function of women within the novel: one has sex with a woman, not for the pleasure that the act brings, but for the pleasure that the recounting of the story to other men brings. ![]() This reading is dependent upon an interpretation of Eve Sedgwick that proposes male sexuality as a continuum. "Fighting Desires: Henry Miller's Queer Tropic" is an investigation of Tropic of Cancer that investigates the deeply repressed homoerotic desire that periodically surfaces. ![]() |
