Leslie Greentree
A Minor Planet for You: and Other Stories (cuRRents)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Told with arresting candor, Leslie Greentree`s short fiction creates the satisfying sense of discovering someone`s long-kept secret, or the guilty pleasure of overhearing a scathing conversation. A housewife indulges in monthly purchases of specialty vinegar and savours her romantic fantasies about the local grocery store manager, a daughter catches glimpses of herself in the face of her mother`s suffocating attentions, a minor astronomer accumulates star charts and wasted nights rather than tender moments with his wife. A Minor Planet for You explores the often wry, sometimes dark but consistently fragile constellations of human relationships. ?Intricately and subtly developed, a smart irony permeates these stories.? Gloria Sawai ?Leslie Greentree`s stylistic see-sawing between comedy and tragedy is one of the main reasons why this book is hard to put down.? Lisa Grekul [detailed...]

Morris Dickstein
A Mirror in the Roadway : Literature and the Real World

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In a famous passage in The Red and the Black , the French writer Stendhal described the novel as a mirror being carried along a roadway. In the twentieth century this was derided as a naive notion of realism. Instead, modernwriters experimented with creative forms of invention and dislocation. Deconstructive theorists went even further, questioning whether literature had any real reference to a world outside its own language, while traditional historians challenged whether novels gave a trustworthy representation of history and society. In this book, Morris Dickstein reinterprets Stendhal`s metaphor and tracks the different worlds of a wide array of twentieth-century writers, from realists like Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, Edith Wharton, and Willa Cather, through modernists like Franz Kafka and Samuel Beckett, to wildly inventive postwar writers like Saul Bellow, Gunter Grass, Mary McCarthy, George Orwell, Philip Roth, and Gabriel… [detailed...]

A Modern Life : Art and Design in British Columbia 1945-60

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In 1949, the forest magnate H.R. MacMillan opened an exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery entitled `Design for Living,` a show that brought together design and artistic communities to create four imaginary postwar households. It also heralded an unprecedented level of cooperation between industry, artists and craftspeople-a relationship that seemed to hold great promise for the development of art, furniture and craft. The celebration of the cooperative spirit between architects, artists and designers, between potters, weavers and gardeners is central to A Modern Life , which examines the coming together of what were often very separate disciplines post-World War II, as well as the trendsetting design and use of new building and construction materials (like plywood and cement) and the impact these had on the more traditional art community. A Modern Life demonstrates that the ideas of the artistic and design community as a whole during… [detailed...]

A More Abundant Life: New Deal Artists and Public Art in New Mexico

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionArtists began coming to New Mexico in the late nineteenth century. They came from everywhere, from Maine to California and a few from Europe. They were attracted by the dazzling New Mexican landscape, the hospitality of town and village life, and very important, the Indian and Hispanic cultures that had shaped the artistic imagination of New Mexico for centuries. From an artist?s point of view it was a rich mix, and between art and odd jobs, they managed to make a living. Until the Great Depression of the 1930s. Then, as the artist Louie Ewing said, `the jobs ran out.` No matter what you were willing to do, there was no work, and nobody was buying pictures and pots. Help came from Washington. New Deal planners offered artistsjobs to `beautify` the community. Almost immediately, artists in New Mexico picked up their brushes and chisels, and for almost ten years, between 1933 and 1943, signed onto Federal programs. How did artists, traditionally loners,… [detailed...]
