Anthony Varallo
This Day in History (Iowa Short Fiction Award)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOn the verge of maturity--where parents are distant or absent, friendships are often more accidental than deliberate, and restless angst is common--Anthony Varallo`s adolescent protagonists dissect the world, and their place in it, with keen perception. This Day in History deftly collects their moments of discovery. “There`s a feeling I get whenever I enter an unfamiliar house, as if a secret inventory has been handed to me, and I am made to understand that the sofa cushions arestained underneath, the coffee table nursing one gimp leg, the books along the bookcase stolen from summer rental, and the dining room table used only for Christmas and taxes,” the narrator confesses in the first of Varallo`s twelve stories. Here, a birthday party for an unpopular classmate reveals an adult world both familiar and utterly strange. In subsequent stories a young girl longs to be a part of her best friend`s family, only to discover the family is less than ideal, two… [detailed...]

This Day of Change

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As part of a project initiated by Courrier Japon, a monthly news magazine based in Tokyo, 132 photographers in 79 countries were asked to visually document the spirit of hope around the world on January 20, 2009, the day Barack Obama was inaugurated President of the United States. Some photographers were in Washington and recorded the inauguration ceremony itself. Others photographed events and people in different countries, places where hope might be needed most. Each photographer chose his or her own subject. From Inner Mongolia, Johannesburg, the Israel-Palestine border, Dubai, Tokyo, Havana and an African neighborhood in Brussels, to New Orleans, here are powerful, provocative and inspiring images that reflect a universal sense of optimism and desire for change. Out of more than 1,000 photographs, 132 were chosen to be included in this stunning volume, published as part of the Kodansha Ltd. Centennial Project. [detailed...]

This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers` Bible Quilt and Other Pieces

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The powerful quilts of Harriet Powers (1837-1910), a former Athens, Georgia slave, continue to capture our imagination today. Her two-known creations, the Bible Quilt and the Pictorial Quilt, have independently survived since stitched more than a century ago. Over the years, thousands of museum visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston have stood transfixed viewing her artwork. Powers` two quilts are arguably the most well-known and cited coverings in American quilt history. But, until today, no one has told the entire, dramatic story of how these two quilts, one of which initially sold for $5, were coveted, cared for, and cherished for decades in private homes before emerging as priceless, national treasures. This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers` Bible Quilts and Other Pieces brings to light new, exciting facts - many never before published: complete exhibition history for both known quilts, proof… [detailed...]

This Is Cuba: An Outlaw Culture Survives

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A colorful first-person account of living on the fringes of Castro`s Cuba, and a splendid evocation of the modern Cuban character. Beyond the throngs of tourists streaming through Central Havana`s broad Prado Avenue, and outside the yoke of Castro`s 43-year-old Revolutionary program, there exists a parallel Cuba - a separate evolution of a people struggling to survive. With personal stories that depict a people torn between following the directives of their government and finding a way to better their lot, journalist Ben Corbett gives us the daily life of many considered outlaws by Castro`s regime. But are they outlaws or rather ingenious survivors of what many Cubans consider to be a forty-year mistake, a tangle of contradictions that has resulted in a strange hybrid of American-style capitalism and a homegrown black market economy. At a time when Cuba walks precariously on the ledge between socialism and capitalism, This Is Cuba gets to the heart of this so-called… [detailed...]

Leonard Lawlor
This Is Not Sufficient: An Essay on Animality and Human Nature in Derrida

2007 y.
Publisher: Columbia University Press
Description: Derrida wrote extensively on `the question of the animal.` In particular, he challenged Heidegger`s, Husserl`s, and other philosophers` work on the subject, questioning their phenomenological criteria for distinguishing humans from animals. Examining a range of Derrida`s writings, including his most recent L`animal que donc je suis, as well as Aporias, Of Spirit, Rams, and Rogues, Leonard Lawlor reconstructs a portrait of Derrida`s views on animality and their intimate connection to his thinking on ethics, names and singularity, sovereignty, and the notion of a common world. Derrida believed that humans and animals cannot be substantially separated, yet neither do they form a continuous species. Instead, in his `staggered analogy,` Derrida asserts that all living beings are weak and therefore capable of suffering. This controversial claim both refuted the notion that humans and animals possess autonomy and contradicted the assumption that they possess the trait of machinery…. [detailed...]

Description: The death of Judd Foxman`s father marks the first time that the entire Foxman family-including Judd`s mother, brothers, and sister-have been together in years. Conspicuously absent: Judd`s wife, Jen, whose fourteen-month affair with Judd`s radio-shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the death of his father and the demise of his marriage, Judd joins the rest of the Foxmans as they reluctantly submit to their patriarch`s dying request: to spend the seven days following the funeral together. In the same house. Like a family. As the week quickly spins out of control, longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed, and old passions reawakened. For Judd, it`s a weeklong attempt to make sense of the mess his life has become while trying in vain not to get sucked into the regressive battles of his madly dysfunctional family. All of which would be hard enough without the bomb Jen dropped the day Judd`s father died: She`s pregnant. This Is Where… [detailed...]
