		Following up on the World Fantasy Award-winning Leviathan 3, Leviathan 4 is a Baedeker of the fantastical, exploring the character of cities and the city as character, mapping the streets of the imagination.
		This fourth volume of the Leviathan series takes the reader to a variety of cities in all their splendor and decadence.

	LA Weekly: 10: Shall We Decadence?
		(Personally, I’d take a cheese enchilada over a chocolate anything, but that’s another story.) For me, a night of decadence is a satellite dish, remote control and maybe a husband or pet to fetch things from the refrigerator.
		It’s too much of everything, and a lack of moral virtue." Mothers never want you to have too much of anything, and they think a lack of moral virtue reflects poorly on them, so if you bring up the subject with them, it will be a very short conversation.
		But decadence is for the young (and Keith Richards), by God, and each generation needs its own depraved Zeitgeist.

		RUPD Sergeant Alex Adames, who supervised the RUPD officers at NOD, said officers tried to help Rice Emergency Medical Services technicians treat the student, who was severely intoxicated and had injured his nose and shin jumping.
		The student was released that night — because the Harris County Jail’s computer system failed due to the switch to standard time — but was charged Monday with resisting arrest and possession of a fictitious driver’s license, Adames said.
		Ostdiek said students in charge of NOD security and Wiess Masters Katherine Donato and Dan Kalb invited him to attend the party, and he accepted.

		Look at Southern Decadence, or Memorial Day, or Halloween: at one point, these were all fun, festive holidays, fabulous excuses to dress up and boogie down.
		Last night was Decadence Ball (technically, no relation to the aforementioned Southern Decadence, though I'm beginning to wonder if it hasn't been co-opted by the latter just to annoy me).
		But last night, as I walked onto the scene with my two housemates, I was dismayed to see so many Decadence costumes--I mean Southern Decadence now--scuttling around.

		The show, which premieres Sunday night at 9:30, doesn't just aspire to be an engaging, gorgeously photographed drama about the secret lives of Dust Bowl carnies.
		It wants to be a cosmic battle between Good and Evil hosted by no less than the man upstairs, God, obscurely referred to among the carnies as "management." Created by Daniel Knauf (of the woeful "Wolf Lake"), the show isn't interested in being merely a human-scaled metaphor; it has its sights set on major allegory.
		He met the carnies coincidentally, but his family tree is rooted among these strangers who move from town to town, offering citizens a night of decadence.
