Kate Brennan
In His Sights: One Woman`s Stalking Nightmare (P.S.)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What if the man you`d loved for years transformed into a ruthless and relentless tormentor, stealing your freedom, threatening your sanity and your safety? This is not a fictional scenario. It is Kate Brennan`s life. A well-respected writer and scholar, Kate was wary of getting involved when she met Paul, a wealthy, charismatic businessman with a great deal of free time, but his charm and determination eventually won her over. Once they moved in together, however, Kate discovered the sordid secrets lurking beneath the Mr. Right facade: the serial infidelities, the unbalanced psyche. When she ended their relationship, Paul dedicated himself to stalking her—using his limitless resources to track her movements, interfering with her work, arranging for people to break into her home—in a campaign of cruel harassment that has been Kate`s unending nightmare for more than a decade . . . and which continues to this day. A shocking and visceral memoir that lays bare the twisted mind of a… [detailed...]

Christopher Wiseman
In John Updike`s Room: New And Selected Poems

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description`Time`s circle draws us in`, Christopher Wiseman writes in one of his finest poems, and it`s the continuous, poem after poem, vivid and tender evocation of Time that gives this collection its cachet, its utterly distinctive and, as the pages turn, increasingly obvious stand-alone quality. This is a voice which cares not how nakedly and vulnerably it speaks its truths: the brittle safety-first impersonality of post-modernism is kept far hence, like Eliot`s dog, if we will only enter into these finely-crafted poems with half the longing that they so richly have for remembered bliss, for the `faint persistent music` (from the same Wiseman poem) of our own lives and the lives of those we have known or admired or even, and not seldom here, adored -- sporting heroes, dance-hall tunes, film beauties, early and also late loves -- then, ah then, we`ll know we`ve been allowed into an emotion-laden space that`s wider and deeper and, for sure, less predictable than what the… [detailed...]

In Katrina`s Wake: Portraits of Loss from an Unnatural Disaster

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: While many may argue whether the devastation of hurricane Katrina was the direct or indirect result of global warming, infrastructural neglect, inadequate preparation, or an incompetent governmental response, nobody will deny the heartbreak it wrought, the homes, businesses, and history washed away, the landscape uprooted, or the lives lost. Renowned photographer Chris Jordan went on assignment—his own—to capture the tragedy of the aftermath of this, the greatest natural disaster in the history of the United States. In Katrina`s Wake , his series of 50 photographs, layer, the horror of ruin with the uncanny beauty of nature, even in its most savage incarnation. His images show how the remnants of a place—from Mardi Gras beads to church pews, from computer stations to swing sets—recall the essence of a place. Essays by Bill McKibben, Elizabeth Royte, and Susan Zakin explore the causes and effects of global warming, noting that we are all responsible… [detailed...]

In Lands That Never Were: Tales of Swords and Sorcery from The Magazine of Fantasy &, Science Fiction

2004 y.
Publisher: Thunder`s Mouth Press
Description: For more than half a century, the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction has been the leading forum for the most literate sf and fantasy. Hence it may surprise many F&,SF stalwarts when they discover this new and entertaining anthology culled from its pages but devoted to swords-and-sorcery fantasy--a subgenre generally confined to less noble publications. The quality of writing on view is nonetheless up to F&,SF standards, and the writers include many familiar names, from Fritz Leiber, whose award-winning `Ill Met in Lankhmar` features his popular swashbuckling thieves Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, to Ursula LeGuin, who contributes one of her Earthsea tales. An engaging, early Conan the Barbarian episode by Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague de Camp opens the volume, and Jeffrey Ford`s satirical jab at similar barbarian swordsmen, `The Fantasy Writer`s Assistant,` concludes. In between are enough dragons, wizards, and medieval skulduggery to satisfy even the most demanding swords-and-sorcery… [detailed...]

In Lieu of Memory: Contemporary Jewish Writing in France (Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, and Art)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An encyclopedic introduction to French Jewish literature as it has emerged since the late 1960s. This book provides a wide-ranging analysis of French Jewish authors born after the Shoah and traces the development of the rich agenda of jeune littA©rature juive (young Jewish writing) from its beginnings in the late 1970s, into the 1980s and 1990s, when it gained intense momentum. Thomas Nolden uses a wealth of biographical information to expound on his central thesis: the abrupt interruption of transmission of the Jewish heritage by assimilation, migration, and near-extermination required these writers to reinvent themselves, their past, and their memories as Jews. Nolden provides concise readings of the fiction of more than two dozen writers of both Sephardic and Ashkenazi background living in present-day France. He demonstrates how contemporary Jewish writing has responded historically, culturally, politically, and aesthetically to developments in French society and in Jewish… [detailed...]

In Light Of Shadows: More Gothic Tales By Izumi Kyoka

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In Light of Shadows is the long-awaited second volume of short fiction by the Meiji-Taisho writer Izumi Kyoka. It includes the famous novella Uta andon (A story by lantern light), the bizarre, anti-psychological story `Mayu kakushi no rei` (A quiet obsession), and Kyoka?s hauntingly erotic final work, `Rukoshinso` (The heartvine), as well as critical discussions of each of these three tales. Translator Charles Inouye places Kyoka?s `literature of shadows` (kage no bungaku) within a worldwide gothic tradition even as he refines its Japanese context. Underscoring Kyoka?s relevance for a contemporary international audience, Inouye adjusts Tanizaki Jun?ichiro?s evaluation of Kyoka as the most Japanese of authors by demonstrating how the writer?s paradigm of the suffering heroine can be linked to his exposure to Christianity, to a beautiful American woman, and to the aesthetic of blood… [detailed...]

We married, and together with our growing son, Benjamin, continued these gardens as we also fought through blackberries, horsetails, and morning glories to push intersecting paths through the adjacent two-lot wilderness we later purchased, creating a little park which we planted and nurtured and ultimately gave to the City of Seattle in 1996, with our promise to maintain it through our lifetimes.` -from the Introduction This richly illustrated book offers timely inspiration to gardeners in an increasingly urban world. In an engaging narrative, the Streissguths show the emergence of their gardening partnership during forty years of marriage, and their philosophy that developing a site along a public stairway gave them the opportunity to share their garden with neighbors and… [detailed...]

In Monet`s Light: Theodore Robinson at Giverny

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Theodore Robinson (1854-96) was among a number of American painters who began to visit the small hamlet of Giverny on the Seine River in the late 1880s and early 1890s, where Claude Monet had settled in 1883. Robinson adopted the master`s vibrant palette and fresh brush work. He also pursued Monet`s rigorous practice of exploring subjects in series and, like his mentor, concentrated on recording aspects of the particular locale where he lived and worked. The book shows how Robinsonabsorbed and translated Monet`s working method, style and subject matter, and demonstrates how Robinson conveyed Impressionism to America. His individual accomplishments and his artistic exchange with Monet are examined by juxtaposing the American`s French works with a small number of carefully selected examples by Monet. [detailed...]

Description: A renowned German novelist`s memoir of his brother, who joined the SS and was killed at the Russian front. Uwe Timm was only two years old when in 1942 his older brother, Karl Heinz, announced to his family he had volunteered for service with an elite squadron of the German army, the SS Totenkopf Division, also known as Death`s Heads. Little more than a year later Karl Heinz was injured in battle at the Russian front, his legs amputated, and a few weeks after that he died in a military hospital. To their father, Karl Heinz`s death only served to immortalize him as the courageous one, the obedient one, the one who upheld the family honor. His childhood was marked by the mythology of his brother`s lost life, his absence-the hole he left in the family-just as palpable as if he were still alive. His mother`s sadness and his father`s rage over the loss of Karl Heinz ultimately defined Uwe`s relationship with his parents. But while they eulogized the boy, Uwe… [detailed...]
