Описание: Asked in 2006 about the philosophical nature of his fiction, the late American writer David Foster Wallace replied, "If some people read my fiction and see it as fundamentally about philosophical ideas, what it probably means is that these are pieces where the characters are not as alive and interesting as I meant them to be." Gesturing Toward Reality looks into this quality of Wallace's work—when the writer dons the philosopher's cap—and sees something else. With essays offering a careful perusal of Wallace's extensive and heavily annotated self-help library, re-considerations of Wittgenstein's influence on his fiction, and serious explorations into the moral and spiritual landscape where Wallace lived and wrote, this collection offers a perspective on Wallace that even he was not always ready to see. Since so much has been said in specifically literary circles about Wallace's philosophical acumen, it seems natural to have those with an interest in both philosophy and Wallace's writing address how these two areas come together.

Can the meaning of religious language be separated from its use? In Religious Language, Meaning, and Use, Robert Bolger and Robert Coburn address what has become a contentious though often overlooked account of the relationship between religious belief and religious practice. Through philosophical argumentation and by means of a variety of sermon-like essays on religious topics, this book seeks to return religion to the place in which the meaning and practical impact of its beliefs become inseparable from the life of the believer.
Part I begins by considering, through the loose lens of Wittgenstein's philosophical method, how religious language has been misunderstood leading straightway to a variety of challenges and conceptual confusions. Part II presents previously unpublished essays written by Robert C. Coburn who has, for over 50 years, been at the forefront of the study of metaphysics and philosophy of religion.
Making a compelling case for a religious practice that avoids trivializing religious belief, this book promises to be a corrective to those who see faith as nothing more than ethics in disguise and to those metaphysicians who see faith as a set of beliefs.

Paul Kruk sits in a hidden hunting blind with his father's Winchester rifle, deciding whether to kill a man. So begins The Hunters, the debut novel by prize-winning writer John Bolger, whose writing has been compared to that of Cormac McCarthy, Ernest Hemingway, Jim Harrison, Robert Stone, William Faulkner, and Don DeLillo.
With twists and turns, The Hunters explores the lives of the people touched by Paul's decision, from the men in his hunting party to his beautiful, brilliant sister, as this literary novel carefully and honestly depicts their choices, their actions, and the events that follow.
The Hunters portrays the idiosyncrasies of living in contemporary, rural America: serene, yet surreal; at once, beautiful and terrifying. It is the perfect book for readers of serious fiction who want to be entertained.
Praise for The Hunters:
"I love this portrayal of the Northwoods, and the feeling of impending winter that pervades--the pressure cooker that is created by all these people trapped in such a cold bleak place. I like how information is withheld and delivered, and the way all the men in town are ruining their lives for the same woman. And I love most the twisted sense of justice, and just how twisted it gets in the end. A pinch of Hemingway and a pound of Cormac and all the rest original Bolger. This is a terrific book." Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted and Cowboys Are My Weakness.
"The men and women, the weapons, the deerhunt all make a huge and fragile danger in John Bolger's novel The Hunters. There is care and harm in this book and all written with felicitous and steady grace." Ron Carlson, author of The Signal and At the Jim Bridger.
