Rebel : my life outside the lines
\"Legendary actor Nick Nolte delivers his most revealing performance yet. This intimate memoir is a tale of art, passion, commitment, addiction, and the quest for personal enlightenment as intense and hypnotic as the man himself. In a career spanning five decades and hundreds of roles, Nick Nolte has become a true Hollywood icon. Rising from a difficult childhood in the rural Midwest to leading roles and a trio of Oscar nominations in the golden West, he has been both celebrated and vilified; survived marriages, divorces, and a string of romances; was named People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive'; and suffered public humiliation over his addiction issues, including a drug-fueled trip down the Pacific Coast Highway that resulted in his infamous arrest. Despite these ups and downs, Nolte has remained true to the craft he loves, portraying a diverse range of characters with his trademark physicality and indelible gravelly voice ...\"--Jacket.

Possibilities in a Neoliberal World: Masculine Authority and Love in Affliction
[...]Wade embodies the negative counterexample to a proper neoliberal subject who is predominately defined in terms of economic success and personal aptitude, a particular kind of masculinity not necessarily aligned with muscle and brawn.2 But although Wade's actions at the end of the narrative may be dismissed as an \"isolated explosion of homicidal rage in a small American town\" committed by a man who is not a neoliberal subject \"like you and me,\" his brother Rolfe refuses to let the assumed reader's tendency to \"forget all about it\" erase the significance of his brother's actions (Banks 354). According to David Harvey, this uneven development occurs because \"the globe never has been a level playing-field upon which capital accumulation could play out its destiny. [...]the ephemeral nature of such denigration becomes a presence of which one is always aware but is unable to directly pinpoint. [...]when a self-assured character such as Mel Gordon simply states, with a snap of the fingers, that he can have Wade fired \"with just one phone call\"-in contrast to the novel, all direct reference to Wade's country position omitted-it is a demonstration of power that is implicitly tied to the superiority of urban wealth over rural need. [...]our position becomes tied to LaRiviere's own machinations at the expense of the town, and the sentiment of Wade's critique, although ultimately lost in incoherent rage, becomes part of the assault against us.
