Wild Colonial Girl: Essays on Edna O`Brien (Irish Studies in Literature and Culture)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the 1960 publication of her first novel, The Country Girls , award-winning Irish writer Edna O`Brien has been both celebrated and maligned. Praised for her lyrical prose and vivid female characters and attacked for her frank treatment of sexuality and alleged sensationalism, O`Brien and her work seem always to spawn controversy, including the past banning in Ireland of several of her works. O`Brien`s attention to `women`s` concerns such as sex, romance, marriage, and childbirth has often relegated her to critical neglect at best and, at worst, outright contempt. This essay collection promises to be a long overdue critical reevaluation and exciting rediscovery of her oeuvre. Wild Colonial Girl situates O`Brien in Irish contexts that allow for an appraisal of her significant contribution to a specifically Irish women`s literary tradition while attesting to the potency of writing against patriarchal conventions. Each chapter`s clear and detailed readings of… [detailed...]

Wild Design: Ecofriendly Innovations Inspired by Nature

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Wild Design, environmental designer and scientist Alan Marshall presents a manifesto on nature-inspired designs, including visionary concepts as well as exhibits of actual products, landscapes, and artwork from around the world. With elegant photographs and drawings, the book incorporates the ethos of sustainability by documenting many of the results of the Ecomimicry Project, an international experiment in ecodesign that marries the skills of local artists and ecologists from Western Australia and the Carpathian mountains in Eastern Europe.All the designs treat nature as an inspiration for ecofriendly innovations. Among the fascinating possibilities: a bike helmet based on the crustacean exoskeleton, a heliotropic house, and a car fueled by algae. Marshall argues that design should be the responsibility of all, not just a technological elite, and it is in this spirit that he offers this timely, important book. [detailed...]

Wild Exuberance: Harold Weston`s Adirondack Art

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEarly in his career, critics and collectors widely recognized that Harold Weston (1894-1972), was capturing and saying something unusual in his paintings. `There is a young American painter,` wrote Duncan Phillips, `who stirs in me the hope for a re-birth on this new soil of something that was not lost to the art of painting with the passing of Vincent van Gogh.` Along with 104 color and ten black-and-white plates of Weston`s works, the catalog includes essays that cover myriad aspects of Weston`s life and art. The Adirondack Museum`s chief curator Caroline M. Welsh explores nature and wilderness preservation as themes in twentieth-century art and places Weston in the context of his contemporaries who painted the Adirondacks. The biographical essay by the exhibition`s guest curator Rebecca Foster follows the unfolding of a career in parallel to the unfolding of a life. Weston`s rich technique is explored by Stephen Bennett-Phillips, curator at the Phillips… [detailed...]

Anchee Min
Wild Ginger : A Novel

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAt once a coming-of-age tale and a heart-rending love story, Wild Ginger explores the devastating experience of the Cultural Revolution, which defined Anchee Min`s youth. The beautiful, iron-willed Wild Ginger is only in elementary schoolwhen she is singled out by the Red Guards for her `foreign-colored eyes.` Her classmate Maple is also a target of persecution. The novel chronicles the two girls` maturing in Shanghai in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Chairman Mao ruled absolutely and his followers took up arms in his name. Wild Ginger grows up to become a model Maoist, but her love for a man soon places her in an untenable position — and ultimately in mortal danger. This slim and powerful novel `examines the fragile sensibilities and emotions of an entire generation of Chinese youth` (Washington Post) and brilliantly delineates the psychological and sexual perversion of those times.

Wild Heart: A Life : Natalie Clifford Barney and the Decadence of Literary Paris

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Born in 1876, Natalie Barney -- beautiful, charismatic, brilliant, and wealthy -- was expected to marry well and lead the conventional life of a privileged society woman. But Natalie had no interest in marriage and made no secret of the fact that she was attracted to women. Brought up by a talented and rebellious mother -- the painter Alice Pike Barney -- Natalie cultivated an interest in poetry and the arts. When she moved to Paris in the early 1900s, she plunged into the city`s literary scene, opening a famed Left Bank literary salon and engaging in a string of scandalous affairs. For the rest of her long and controversial life, Natalie Barney was revered by writers for her generous, eccentric spirit and reviled by high society for her sexual appetite. In the end, she served as an inspiration and came to know many of the greatest names of twentieth-century arts and letters -- including Marcel Proust, Colette, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Isadora Duncan, Gertrude… [detailed...]

Description: This book is well intended but flawed by its somewhat incoherent style, lack of good writing, and an inability or unwillingness to target an audience. The brief autobiographical chapters offer counsel and moral support to the aspiring author, with a little Zen thrown in for good measure. There are several exercises for writing practice that are useful but can be invented or found elsewhere. The cosmic angle may appeal to those with New Age inclinations, although it may annoy others. While this book is inexpensive and accessible, a work on writing ought to contain some fine examples (e.g., Strunk and White`s Elements of Style, or anything by William Zinsser). - Janice Braun, Medical Historical Lib., Yale Univ.
