The Rivals : The Last Weekend by Blake Morrison

The Rivals : The Last Weekend by Blake Morrison

ALEX CLARK investigates Blake Morrison's creepy tale of masculine rivalry

How long one can live happily on a diet of crumbs from the rich man's table before exploding with rage and resentment is the question that animates Blake Morrison's creepy and disturbing novel. It's played out against the ostensibly benign setting of a country weekend during which two couples meet, after a gap of some years, to renew the bonds of friendship and enjoy an interlude of bucolic relaxation. Even in real life, such occasions are rarely the simple social exchanges we might wish or pretend them to be: the extending and accepting of largesse is often involved, the reinforcement of an unspoken hierarchy, thickened by the nuances of past personal history and the irrepressible concerns of the present day. But in fiction, a situation so open to complication provides the novelist with the perfect opportunity to run riot through themes of rivalry, jealousy, class tension and hidden desire; and Morrison does not shirk that opportunity.

He begins with the names of the couples: the affluent, expansive, metropolitan Moores, Ollie and Daisy, extend an invitation to an East Anglian bank holiday idyll to the Goades, already sounding as if they might welcome temporary liberation from their provincial backwater, overloaded public sector jobs and constrained finances. But from the outset, Ian Goade, our narrator, and his wife Em have reservations about the prospect: have the Moores simply been let down by some classier friends? Will they find themselves, as once happened at a glitzy party, shunted to one side with the hired help? Unable to resist the lure of the elegance and luxury they imagine will be on offer, they decide to risk it.

In a humorous and understated sideswipe at the upper middle-class staycation, the house provides little in the way of glamour or gracious living: dilapidated and damp, it is exactly the sort of place that posh Ollie adapts to with boarding-school over-enthusiasm, his beautiful wife stoically conjuring up fabulous meals in a dingy kitchen while Ian and Em attempt to hide their disappointment. Throw in the hosts' mildly delinquent teenage son, Ian's evident romantic interest in Daisy and a surprise visitor in the shape of eager-to-please Milo, and the scene seems set for a pleasant but unremarkable comedy of manners, a satire on social aspiration with a few gropes under the stairs for good measure.

But Morrison has rather more to say on the subject of friendship, and decides to say it via that most unsettling of mouthpieces, the unreliable narrator. Ian, it emerges in deliberately measured doses of self-explication, is leaving behind more than the humdrum routine of a primary school teacher. There is the matter of the tribunal he must face on his return, convened after he physically disciplined a child and further overshadowed by possible allegations of racism; the "playing on websites" that alludes darkly to a gambling habit veering out of control; and his unease and silence in the face of Em's plans to have children. And then there are the disquieting references to past lapses in control: episodes of voyeurism, his casually recounted story of hitting a prostitute who hassled him, the way in which Em says, reassuringly, "You hardly ever lose your temper these days".

What he is not able to leave in Ilkeston, however, is the problem of Ollie, the suave university friend who stole Daisy from him and has, in the process, consigned him to a life he cannot escape. When Ian is presented, courtesy of an impulsive bet, with the chance to best his rival for good and clear his debts at the same time, the "last weekend" comes to have the feel of a day of reckoning.

Morrison's plot is not, it must be said, especially sophisticated; the image of two men, at least one of whom is probably insane, slugging it out on the golf course is clearly schematic and the novel's denouement hardly impossible to predict. But he does a terrific job of keeping the reader consistently intrigued by the strange interdependency of Ian and Ollie's relationship and the extent to which Ollie is a version of Ian who has, by circumstances of birth and luck (as Ian's obsession with betting underlines), got away with it. As our knowledge of Ian's dangerous delusions increases, so too does our suspicion of Ollie: has he really, as he claims, been diagnosed with terminal cancer? What are we to make of his insistence that he has brought the party to the very spot where his father died in a freak accident? And don't we find him as easy to dislike as Ian does?

At the novel's conclusion, it is the wives who are left to pick up the pieces, and it's tempting to conclude that Morrison has little patience for the byways of male friendship that he set himself to explore. But a closer reading might suggest a more complex sympathy for two men struggling, in different ways, under the burden of masculinity and searching desperately for a way to be released from it.

E-Books : The Household: Informal Order around the Hearth

Ebooks Free Download | The Household: Informal Order around the Hearth by: Robert C. Ellickson | Ellickson's book represents a skillful use of the analytical tools of the law-and-economics movement to understand relations within the household--a complicated machine for living that involves a large number of joint decisions. Ellickson's book pushes us to think more clearly about the benefits and the costs of homeownership. His book makes sense of one of the most striking facts in the homeownership literature: the extremely tight relationship between structure type and ownership. Houses are most Americans' most important asset. They are the stages on which we live our lives. And so housing policy is worthy of intense attention--but until the current crisis housing policy existed in the netherworld of the more unglamorous public pursuits. Perhaps our present-day troubles will create the opportunity to produce better housing policies, or so I hope. Robert Ellickson's ideas can certainly help.

Moral Psychology, Volume 2

Ebooks Free Download | Moral Psychology, Volume 2 | For much of the twentieth century, philosophy and science went their separate ways. In moral philosophy, fear of the so-called naturalistic fallacy kept moral philosophers from incorporating developments in biology and psychology. Since the 1990s, however, many philosophers have drawn on recent advances in cognitive psychology, brain science, and evolutionary psychology to inform their work. This collaborative trend is especially strong in moral philosophy, and these three volumes bring together some of the most innovative work by both philosophers and psychologists in this emerging interdisciplinary field This second volume of the series on moral psychology continues the fine quality of the first, but with a different emphasis. This time the contributors discuss what role cognitive science has in morality and ethics, but the most important part of the book is in addressing the question of why there is so much variability in ethical doctrines and social mores throughout the peoples of the world. Such diversity raises doubts on the truth of the assertion of a "universal" ethical foundation that is applicable in all cultures and contexts.

The debate on moral diversity takes the form of convergent versus divergent moral realism and is strongly dependent on the ability of each individual to conceptualize or intuit moral concepts. The "common" or "folk theory" usage of moral concepts may be very different than what "professional" philosophers put forward as ethical theories. Even further, and maybe even more interesting, is the (very plausible) assertion made in a few places in the book that contributions by professional philosophers are even completely unnecessary in dialog on ethics and morality. The arguments put forward for this are very convincing but not final, for the fact that philosophers are generally absent in everyday life when real decision-making is taking place raises considerable doubt on the need for their ideas or presence. They have no "dog in the fight" to quote one contributor to the volume. Other contributors though are not so quick to judgment, presenting the need and efficacy of the thought experiments and "armchair" methods of professional philosophers.

Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection

Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection by: Thomas L. Norman CPP/PSP/CSC | When properly conducted, risk analysis enlightens, informs, and illuminates, helping management organize their thinking into properly prioritized, cost-effective action. Poor analysis, on the other hand, usually results in vague programs with no clear direction and no metrics for measurement. Although there is plenty of information on risk analysis, it is rare to find a book that explains this highly complex subject with such startling clarity. Very few, if any, focus on the art of critical thinking and how to best apply it to the task of risk analysis.
The first comprehensive resource to explain how to evaluate the appropriateness of countermeasures, from a cost-effectiveness perspective, Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection details the entire risk analysis process in language that is easy to understand. It guides readers from basic principles to complex processes in a step-by-step fashion — evaluating DHS–approved risk assessment methods, including CARVER, API/NPRA, RAMCAP, and various Sandia methodologies.
Using numerous case illustrations, the text clearly explains the five core principles of the risk analysis lifecycle. It also supplies readers with a completely adaptable graphic risk analysis tool that is simple to use, can be applied in public or private industries, and works with all DHS–approved methods. This reader-friendly guide provides the tools and insight needed to effectively analyze risks and secure facilities in a broad range of industries, including DHS designated critical infrastructure in the chemical, transportation, energy, telecommunications, and public health sectors.
