Bøker av Benjamin Liu

The first installation of the White Room series, this mystery revolves around a man who wakes up in a white room with no memory of his previous life. For years he gives up trying to escape, but one day he finds a way out... This isn't a simple happy go lucky ending though, as he finds even more mysteries surrounding his predicament. Follow him as he journeys through a devastated earth and meets new people.

This book examines the intersection of jokes, laughter, insults, and poetry in a collection of 13th- and 14th-century medieval Iberian songs. Liu shows how these jokes operate in such varied cultural contexts as the arts of augury and divination, pilgrimage, prostitution, interfaith sexuality, and medical malpractice.
