This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. Sequel to the accusation against Mr. Coates--Copy of affidavit sworji by Mrs. Lyall--The incident of the Diamond Coat--Re-appearance of Mr. Coates at the Haymarket Theatre--Caricature of Mr. Coates in the Satirist, March 1814--Pamphlet by Charles Mathews--Mr. Coates again appears at the Haymarket for the benetit of Mr. Sims--Mr. Coates visits Birmingham and Stratford-uponAvon. The charge publicly brought against Mr. Coates, which we have just related, gave him great concern. Mr. Coates spared no trouble and expense to arrive at a solution of the matter. It appeared that Mrs. Lyall, the landlady of the house in which Mr. Coates had his apartments, in Craven Street, had previously sought the Amateur's services for her own benefit, and that his aid was freely given. The performance was one of those we have recently recorded as given for the benefit of an unnamed "widow," and was held at the Haymarket Theatre with a highly satisfactory result. This was, doubtless, the reason for Mrs. Lyall's course of action. She found so many persons ready to avail themselves of Mr. Coates' philanthropic services, and whom she waited upon when that gentleman was from home, that the opportunity for obtaining a douceur or a final payment for bringing the wants of visitors under the notice of Mr. Coates, was used, as we shall see, to her own advantage, and to the mystification of the hirer of her apartments. Having at last arrived at the truth of the matter, Mr. Coates was very angry, and demanded a full apology from Mrs. Lyall, to be accompanied by a sworn affidavit, incriminating herself, and absolving Mr. Coates from all participation in, or knowledge of, her nefarious practices. Failing this, he declared that he would adopt every legal measure...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Robert Coates: Better Known as Romeo and Diamond Coates, the Celebrated 'Amateur of Fashion' Apologies are so frequently used in Pre faces to biographies that in this case we do not propose to offer any, believing that a plain and impartial narrative of the career of the late Robert Coates may give entertainment to some and instruction to many.

Download or read book The Eater of Darkness written by Robert M. Coates and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many to be one of the most unique, avant-garde works published by the Lost Generation, The Eater of Darkness is hailed as the first Dada novel published by an American. Previously out of print for more than fifty years, this new edition has been updated with a new introduction and contemporary material that pays homage to the groundbreaking life and career of author Robert M. Coates. “One of the cleverest tours de force ever contrived by the pen of a wit.” Young, charming, and fresh from a passionate jaunt in France, Charles Dograr leaves behind his French lover and returns to America to spend a year in New York City. Eager to make his year in New York one to remember, Charles leaves his boarding house room one night in search of an adventure. As he wanders, Charles stumbles into the living quarters of Picrolas, an eccentric, crazed scientist who refers to himself as “the Eater of Darkness.” Picrolas reveals his prized invention: a remote-control x-ray machine, designed to electrocute and kill at random by shooting “x-ray bullets” into the brains of Picrolas’ intended targets. Tricked by Picrolas into releasing the trigger, Charles is instantly taken by the machine and the power it holds. After a string of murders ensue, Charles agrees to help Picrolas plot an elaborate bank heist, using the x-ray bullets to kill the bank’s guards and any unlucky witnesses that happen to be on the street during the heist. As the city is terrorized by these mysterious murders, Charles becomes entangled in the fallout. Characters disappear and reappear; events spiral in a disorienting, antirealistic fashion; and genres collide in an unpredictable, dreamlike conclusion. Often compared to Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman, The Eater of Darkness is many things: both an acclaimed crime novel and a study in surrealist fiction; an experimentation of style, structure, and syntax; and an innovative, avant-garde concoction from an author who wrote years ahead of his time.

Download or read book Yesterday's Burdens written by Robert Myron Coates and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memorable period piece, remarkable for its vivid language and thematic structure, "Yesterday" "s Burdens "is an obsessive Story of New York life in the 1930s. Malcolm Cowley, a close personal friend of Robert Coates, has pointed out in his Afterword to this new edition the aptness of this novel to its time. "Yesterday s Burdens "is an informal story of an unconventional young man of the 1930s. The central character, Henderson, typifies the successful young New Yorker, whose life style reflects the restless, seeking, discontented mood of his time. With him, the reader crisscrosses Manhattan, visits speakeasies, crashes parties, and participates in Henderson s sexual activities and his possible suicide (the novel has three endings). Frankly experimental in technique, the novel attempts the universal in its appeal. Readers today no doubt will appreciate the unexpected tenderness and passion with which the author endows his very ordinary characters."

Download or read book Wisteria Cottage (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) written by Robert M Coates and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Florence Hackett and her daughters Elinor and Louisa, Richard Baurie, a handsome young bookstore clerk and aspiring poet, seems a little odd but harmless enough. With his amusing conversation and his eager-to-please attitude, Richard works his way into the Hacketts' confidence until he is almost one of the family. When he suggests they rent Wisteria Cottage, a charming seaside residence, it seems to promise a summer of pleasant companionship and fun. What the Hacketts don't know is that Richard is a deeply troubled individual, recently released from a mental institution, and that their relaxing summer holiday will soon turn into a terrifying nightmare.... A brilliant psychological examination of criminal insanity, Robert M. Coates's Wisteria Cottage (1948) earned rave reviews on its initial publication and was adapted for the 1958 film noir Edge of Fury. As Mathilde Roza writes in the introduction to this new edition, "the novel has lost nothing of its remarkable power of taking the reader into a disturbed man's world." "A brilliant tour de force."--The New York Times Book Review "Top peaks of terror . . . a grade-A psycho-thriller!"--Saturday Review "As direct and frightening as the uncoiling of a serpent."--Commonweal

Book excerpt: Roza grounds her study in Coates's time at Yale University and his participation in the evolution of literary modernism that occurred between the end of the nineteenth century and World War I. Particular attention is given to Coates's expatriate years in Paris, where he was influenced by the Parisian Dada movement while socializing with writers such as Stein and Hemingway. Roza delves into Coates's return to New York City and his thirty-year association with the New Yorker as a critic and short story writer. She discusses Coates's three most important novels as inventive acts of literary cultural reportage: his "Dada novel," The Eater of Darkness (1926), summons up the artistic innovation and chaos of Paris in the early 1920s; Yesterday's Burdens (1933) is analyzed as an exercise in "literary vaudeville" that captures the tragicomic mood of New York City in the early 1930s; and the confessional The Bitter Season (1946) portrays the gloom, loneliness, and intolerance of wartime New York. Roza also thoughtfully discusses Coates's art criticism, his later novels--such as Wisteria Cottage and The Farther Shore-- his memoirs, his short fiction, and his travel writing. She also explores his attitudes toward his own profession and the ebb and flow of his literary reputation throughout his life.

Download or read book The Outlaw Years written by Robert M. Coates and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Natchez Trace is remarkable in American history for the legends and tales surrounding it. During the first half of the nineteenth century, travelers--traders, settlers, andøthe occasional war party or fugitive from justice--followed its course from the Appalachians to the lower Mississippi, from Knoxville to Natchez. In this vibrant and energetic account, the author has mined both history and legend for startling tales of the near-mythical thieves, cutthroats, and confidence men once reported to have stalked their unsuspecting victims along this frontier trail--the terrible Harpe brothers, who came to a satisfactorily bad end; Samuel Mason, a thief done in by other thieves; and John Murrell, whose reputed schemes threw the South into a paroxysm of fear. Robert M. Coates retells the stories of these and other "land pirates" in chilling and ominous detail, preserving for us the tales once whispered on the edges of the dark southern woods nearly two centuries ago.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.
