Reflective but humorous - author Chris "Gus" Chesney walks down memory lane in his latest book and shares the untold and, to all but those who can similarly recall such off-the-field escapades, the not wholly familiar story of the less publicized aspects of Rugby Union. It being a family sport, he conveys a sense of genuine love for and lasting interest in the sport both as he knew it when a player himself and also today, with the identical and virtually inherited participation of his sons in the game. As with his weird and enjoyable experiences he has shared with us in previous books, he opens the door to his smile-inducing memories of times and places gone by, when Rugby Union was a totally amateur sport. Whilst it has now grown substantially in popularity, world-wide, over the last 40 years, it is now having to cope with the new challenges brought about by the advent of a professional element of the game, and "Tales from a Small Rugby Club" sheds a heartening light on what remains its basic roots.

Описание:

Resulting from wholly unexpectedly being incarcerated in foreign prisons for 5 months in 2009 for financial crimes he'd never committed, Chris Chesney wrote "A Consuming Rage". Whilst this was cathartic in itself, it gave him a taste for writing, and he has followed up that first book with "Tales of Travelling and Working Abroad", in which he details the many weird and wonderful events he experienced whilst working outside the UK, mostly for US banks or financial institutions. Whilst many of these events were harmless and simply reflected the alternative ways in which different cultures view the same subject, he also came across a number of instances where, especially with citizens from southern European counties, morality was a word that could be construed in any number of ways. And frequently was.

Описание:

Serious Fiction explores the novels of J.M. Coetzee, in dialogue with key works of the European literary tradition and several contemporary masterworks of world literature, in order to flesh out an ethico-aesthetic ideal for the contemporary novel. Serious refers back to the Aristotelian definition of tragedy to revive a certain communal, political-ethical task of the artwork; fiction, also referring back to Aristotle and the subsequent poetic tradition, stresses the element of play in the artwork in contrast to the seriousness of the world of daily survival, business, and life. Following post-Enlightenment thinkers from Schiller and Arnold to Leavis and Auerbach, as well as more contemporary literary theorists, the argument maintains a delicate balance between seriousness as a sort moral criterion of literary assessment and playfulness as a necessary stage in the creation of any artwork, adding the formal and epistemological obligations of the realist novel as the dominant literary genre of the long nineteenth century. Coetzee is presented as a contemporary model of serious fiction writing, balancing elements of realism and play/imagination, tragedy and the prosaic, aesthetic semi-autonomy and ethical responsibility. Major works by Coetzee are discussed - Waiting for the Barbarian, Life & Times of Michael K., Disgrace, Diary of a Bad Year - as well as other of his works, fictional and non-fictional, along with important traditional and contemporary works by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Joyce, Kakfa, and Beckett as well as Imre Kert sz, W.G. Sebald, Eimear McBride, Cormac McCarthy, Jiang Rong, and others.

Описание: Duncan McColl Chesney addresses many of the main issues in Beckett criticism by focusing on a key aspect of Beckett`s work throughout his long career: silence. Chesney links Beckett`s language and silence back to his predecessors, especially Joyce and Proust - laterally to contemporary movements of minimalism in the sister arts and theoretically in in-depth discussions of Blanchot and Adorno.
