Wittgenstein's Mistress is a novel unlike anything David Markson or anyone else has ever written before. It is the story of a woman who is convinced and, astonishingly, will ultimately convince the reader as well that she is the only person left on earth.
Presumably she is mad. And yet so appealing is her character, and so witty and seductive her narrative voice, that we will follow her hypnotically as she unloads the intellectual baggage of a lifetime in a series of irreverent meditations on everything and everybody from Brahms to sex to Heidegger to Helen of Troy. And as she contemplates aspects of the troubled past which have brought her to her present state--obviously a metaphor for ultimate loneliness--so too will her drama become one of the few certifiably original fictions of our time.
"The novel I liked best this year," said the Washington Times upon the book's publication; "one dizzying, delightful, funny passage after another . . . Wittgenstein's Mistress gives proof positive that the experimental novel can produce high, pure works of imagination."

Описание: From Wittgenstein's Mistress to Reader's Block to Springer's Progress to This Is Not a Novel, he has delighted and amazed readers for decades. And now comes his latest masterwork, Vanishing Point, wherein an elderly writer (identified only as Author) sets out to transform shoeboxes crammed with notecards into a novel--and in so doing will dazzle us with an astonishing parade of revelations about the trials and calamities and absurdities and often even tragedies of the creative life--and all the while trying his best (he says) to keep himself out of the tale. Naturally he will fail to do the latter, frequently managing to stand aside and yet remaining undeniably central throughout--until he is swept inevitably into the narrative's starting and shattering climax. A novel of death and laughter both--and of extraordinary intellectual richness.
Автор: Markson, Sharri Название: What really happened in wuhan: a virus like no other, countless infections, millions of deaths ISBN: 1460762355 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781460762356 Издательство: HarperCollins UK Рейтинг: Цена: 8790.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Walkley Award-winning journalist, Sharri Markson is the Investigations Editor at The Australian and host of prime-time show Sharri on Sky News Australia. The origins of Covid-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view.
Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.
Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation from leading journalist Sharri Markson into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research. It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's concealment of the virus, fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan and crucial eyewitness accounts that dismantle what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit. With unprecedented access to Washington insiders, Markson takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump lieutenants revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of compromised government advisors and censored scientists.
Bravely reported and chillingly laid out, Markson brings to light the stories of the pandemic from the people on the ground: the scientists and national security officials who raised uncomfortable truths and were labelled conspiracy theorists, until government agencies began to suspect they might have been right all along. These brave individuals persisted through bruising battles and played a crucial role in investigating the origins of Covid-19 to finally, in this book, bring us closer to the truth of what really happened in Wuhan.

Are you intrigued by imagination and yearn to overcome the reasons you think you can't do something more playful, fun or meaningful? Are you a millennial, boomer, octogenarian or anywhere in between who would like to realize and express themselves in a whole new way or be more imaginative with what to do with the life that lies ahead? As children, most of us lived and thrived in a world of imagination. We were not afraid to be artists, musicians, dancers, actors and writers. How did all of that natural creativity fall away as we aged? When and why did imagination take a back seat to harsher realities and more mundane considerations?
The Imagination Playbook is for all of us looking for that spark or lightning bolt; whether we are entrepreneurs, artisans, social activists, brand managers, corporate execs, communicators, magicians or jelly bean counters.
Imagination is the fusion between art and science that we can tap into with every breath. It feeds our soul, makes our spirit soar and gives us hope. It moves us forward and guides us to both discovery and escape. Author, consultant and Idea Whisperer Mitch Markson wrote The Imagination Playbook to remind us that there is an idea laboratory in everyone's mind--unlimited and waiting, ready to be activated. In this visually explosive and interactive book, he shares the lessons and secrets from a lifetime of experience; one that recognizes that a healthy mix of strategic process, gut instinct, trial and error, experimentation, and mixing it up with strange bedfellows, can lead us to a new outer space of imaginative possibilities.
ThisPlaybook is a guide to help you be more imaginative, playful and purposeful with your "brand" (whether that brand is you, your product/service, your organization, or an identifying issue you are passionate about). Inside, you'll learn how to feel more comfortable with the designations of Imagination and Creativity and find and flex your imagination and creativity muscles with "playtime" activities, imagination-stirring tools (not rules), a personal branding guide, a social issue-to-brand primer with plenty of examples, and a few of Mitch's experimental brands ripe for collaboration and harvesting.
Let the imagination therapy session begin
