After ten years of selecting great books from writers, new and established, Prairie Schooner celebrates the first decade of its Book Prize series by offering this collection of excerpts from each year’s winners in fiction and poetry. Writers such as Brock Clarke, Anne Finger, Rynn Williams, and Paul Guest open windows to ordinary and fantastic experience showcasing the liveliness and power of contemporary literature. Greg Hrbek’s darkly comic, genre-bending tales stand alongside Ted Gilley’s stories about achieving bliss through pain and John Keeble’s reflections on community and the difficulty of love. Here Shane Book’s poems serve as an elegiac witness to suffering, while Kathleen Flenniken’s poems consider ordinary women constructing their own significance, and Kara Candito’s explore sex, loss, and human passions.
Whether the topic is fantastic or quotidian, childbirth or monsters, South American airplane disaster or suburban Wisconsin, this writing carries us to the furthest reaches of human experience.
Автор: Dawes, Jack Название: Memories are made of these... ISBN: 178693454X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781786934543 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 14890.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Memories Are Made of These... is an autobiographical account by Jack Dawes of his boyhood and his formative years as a young adult. Growing up in the sixties and early seventies, this really is another country, particularly the account of his schooldays which will have the reader rolling about with mirth. It's hard to imagine these types of antics taking place in the politically correct schoolroom of today. The author chronicles his schooldays, his time at College, a particularly funny episode spent working for the Tax Inspectorate followed by his first foray into life as a secondary school teacher in Liverpool. Each chapter is so redolent of the time, a blissful pre internet age when human relationships and interactions were all. More than a little nostalgic but without any element of rose tint, this charming account is evocative and funny and really does capture the essence of a bygone time. The reader will definitely be looking for the sequel.

Du Bois and the Emergence of Identity ISBN: 0674724917 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780674724914 Издательство: Harvard University Press Рейтинг: Цена: 37960.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: W. E. B. Du Bois never felt so at home as when he was a student in Berlin. Germany was the first place white people had treated him as an equal. But anti-Semitism was prevalent, and Du Bois` challenge, says Kwame Anthony Appiah, was to take the best of German intellectual life without its parochialism--to steal the fire without getting burned.
