Nabokov's dream diary, published for the first time--and placed in biographical and literary context
On October 14th, 1964, Vladimir Nabokov, a lifelong insomniac, began a curious experiment. Over the next eighty days, immediately upon waking, he wrote down his dreams, following the instructions he found in An Experiment with Time by the British philosopher John Dunne. The purpose was to test the theory that time may go in reverse, so that, paradoxically, a later event may generate an earlier dream. The result--published here for the first time--is a fascinating diary in which Nabokov recorded sixty-four dreams (and subsequent daytime episodes) on 118 index cards, which afford a rare glimpse of the artist at his most private. More than an odd biographical footnote, the experiment grew out of Nabokov's passionate interest in the mystery of time, which influenced many of his novels, including the late masterpiece Ada.
Insomniac Dreams, edited by leading Nabokov authority Gennady Barabtarlo, presents the text of Nabokov's dream experiment, illustrated with a selection of his original index cards, and provides rich annotations and analysis that put them in the context of his life and writings. The book also includes previously unpublished records of Nabokov's dreams from his letters and notebooks and shows important connections between his fiction and private writings on dreams and time.

Norman MacIsaac was alone on a cold December day when he received his worst news. At first, he didn't know what to do with a prognosis of just a few years to live, growing more and more disabled until he could no longer move, swallow, or, in the end, breathe.
Travel the world with the author in search of wisdom and inspiration, from the Himalayas to the slums of Mumbai, from his home in Montreal to the African savannah. Written over nearly five years, this is an authentic "live" look at the multiple and evolving challenges, the frustrations and unparalleled joy that mark living with a degenerative terminal illness.
This book is about the emotional and psychological aspects rather than the medical side of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)--also known as Lou Gehrig's or Motor Neuron Disease. It's about focusing on what's really important and overcoming obstacles to experience the best that remains to be lived. It's an ode to a life well lived and an audacious approach to defiantly embracing the best of the worst news.
Norman MacIsaac has spent a lifetime travelling, living abroad, and working with inspiring people from diverse cultures around the world. His diagnosis with ALS led him to share the experiences that have heightened his perspective and resilience in the face of this incurable, crippling and ultimately terminal condition. He lives in Montreal, Canada with his wife of thirty-two years, and has two sons and one daughter.

In this narrative in verse, a failed academic with a dead-end domestic labour job disappears into her own consciousness in an attempt to distance herself from her circumstances. Up against poverty and political tyranny that seems to worsen by the day, she finds solace in substance abuse and destructive relationships. But as the boundaries between fantasy, reality, her past, and her present start to break down, she's left to figure out what in her life is within her control and what is simply written in the stars. A meditation on grief, pleasure, free will, and totalitarianism, Scorpion Season is an experimental and genre-bending book of poetry about a strange time to be alive.

The Russian is the exciting sequel to Brad Kelln's Tell Me More. Picking up only months after the events of the first installment, this second book in the Blake Waiter series finds our reluctant hero in the middle of an international debacle. While his wife continues to struggle with the multiple tragedies that have befallen their family, including the disappearance of their son some three years ago, and while he tries to care for her, Dr. Waiter gets assigned a new client from the Special Services Coordination for High-Value Assets (or SSCHVA for short) only to find out that this patient is a controversial Russian submariner who is officially listed as dead. Before Blake can even meet the man, a hostage-taking on a Halifax Harbour ferry draws the attention of police, and they enlist his services. Throw in the return of the British assassin, Constant White; the assistance of Blake's favourite patient, Chuck; and the rumours that the Waiters' son might have returned, and let the non-stop action begin.

Rivers are often used in mythology to represent boundaries; to cross the river is to transform. The poems in River Revery reflect the river Thames as it winds through the city of London, Ontario. Because the Thames forks into two streams at the city's core, it was called Askunessippi, "the antlered river," by the original Algonquin inhabitants. For Indigenous communities, it is "Deshkan Ziibiing." In re-naming the river the Thames, English settlers colonized forbidding new territory as an imitation of 'home, ' rather than embracing the vibrancy of the river as it is. A distillation of ecological concern is a current necessity in River Revery. Such inspiration in poetry is one source for right action since the Thames waters our gardens, real and imaginary.

Описание: Poetry. These insomniac episodes consist of 84 tantalizing descriptions of hallucinated Magritte murals, painted on the inside of poet Joseph Reich's sleepless eyelids. Strongly visual but leaving much to the imagination, humorous, and deliciously paradoxical, they make a delightful introduction to Reich's wryly obsessive way of shaking off the downpour of the world's insanity.
