Book excerpt: "Superb" -- Vogue "What makes Schweblin so startling as a writer, however, what makes her rare and important, is that she is impelled not by mere talent or ambition but by vision." -- New York Times A powerful, eerily unsettling story collection from a major international literary star. The brilliant stories in Mouthful of Birds burrow their way into your psyche and don't let go. Samanta Schweblin haunts and mesmerizes in this extraordinary collection featuring women on the edge, men turned upside down, the natural world at odds with reality. We think life is one way, but often, it's not -- our expectations for how people act, love, fear can all be upended. Each character in Mouthful of Birds must contend with the unexpected, whether a family coming apart at the seams or a child transforming or a ghostly hellscape or a murder. Schweblin's stories have the feel of a sleepless night, where every shadow and bump in the dark take on huge implications, leaving your pulse racing, and the line between the real and the strange blurs.
Book Synopsis The Joy of Eating by : Jane K. Glenn
Download or read book The Joy of Eating written by Jane K. Glenn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores our cultural celebration of food, blending lobster festivals, politicians' roadside eats, reality show "chef showdowns," and gravity-defying cakes into a deeper exploration of why people find so much joy in eating. In 1961, Julia Child introduced the American public to an entirely new, joy-infused approach to cooking and eating food. In doing so, she set in motion a food renaissance that is still in full bloom today. Over the last six decades, food has become an increasingly more diverse, prominent, and joyful point of cultural interest. The Joy of Eating discusses in detail the current golden age of food in contemporary American popular culture. Entries explore the proliferation of food-themed television shows, documentaries, and networks; the booming popularity of celebrity chefs; unusual, exotic, decadent, creative, and even mundane food trends; and cultural celebrations of food, such as in festivals and music. The volume provides depth and academic gravity by tying each entry into broader themes and larger contexts (in relation to a food-themed reality show, for example, discussing the show's popularity in direct relation to a significant economic event), providing a brief history behind popular foods and types of cuisines and tracing the evolution of our understanding of diet and nutrition, among other explications.

In her writings on religious and political subjects, she maintains that this world would be a wonderful place if we could live by principles that the Bible gives us. She considers a wide range of topics in her essays and opinions, from the faith that is vital to her to various current issues facing all of us.

Download or read book You written by Fan Ogilvie and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-10-28 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About KNOT: A Life “This is not only a moving, insightful family memoir, recognizing the way pain and attachment are braided too intricately for separation. Fan Ogilvie has also made an artful, writerly work, bringing cadences and sentences that recall Gertrude Stein to the immediacy of these materials.” -Robert Pinsky Poet Laureate “Gulf Music”, newest collection About Fan Ogilvie’s poetry: “Fan Ogilvie’s poetry has a delightful intelligent trend that takes the reader through surreal and unexpected meanderings. Her quick twists surprise and at the same time unveil a keen sensitivity with piercing intuition that seizes both contrast and beauty. The settings, staged to etch her visions, become a continuous challenge in which we are directly involved.” -Anny Ballardini poet and creator of Fieralingue, the Poet’s Corner, a web site “Fan Ogilvie’s poems are truly wondrous in their jaded and hopeful musings on modern life both in a highly poetic and colloquial tone. In her poems we hear ourselves....” -Carrie McGath poet and reviewer of Fulcrum, an Annual of Poetry and Aesthetics in Literary Review Magazine “Fan Ogilvie is one of the most sensitive and articulate poets alive when it comes to registering the shifts of nature and subtle changes in the cosmos of the mind. Each poem is an amazingly finely-tuned gauge for capturing the processes that form lived experience.” -Katia Kapovich, poet “Gogol in Rome” “Cossacks and Bandits” “Whoever said that the modern lyric is dead has not read Fan Ogilvie.” -Philip Nikolayev poet and critic “Monkey Time” “Letters from Aldenderry” editor of Fulcrum, an annual of Poetry and Aesthetics
Download or read book René Magritte written by René Magritte and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in an English translation, this selection of René Magritte’s writings gives non-Francophone readers the chance to encounter the many incarnations of the renowned Belgian painter—the artist, the man, the aspiring noirist, the fire-breathing theorist—in his own words. Through whimsical personal letters, biting apologia, appreciations of fellow artists, pugnacious interviews, farcical film scripts, prose poems, manifestos, and much more, a new Magritte emerges: part Surrealist, part literalist, part celebrity, part rascal.While this book is sure to appeal to admirers of Magritte’s art and those who are curious about his personal life, there is also much to delight readers interested in the history and theory of art, philosophy and politics, as well as lovers of creativity and the inner workings of a probing, inquisitive mind unrestricted by genre, medium, or fashion.

Book Synopsis Tales from the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea by : Gunter Senft
Download or read book Tales from the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea written by Gunter Senft and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents 22 tales from the Trobriand Islands told by children (boys between the age of 5 and 9 years) and adults. The monograph is motivated not only by the anthropological linguistic aim to present a broad and quite unique collection of tales with the thematic approach to illustrate which topics and themes constitute the content of the stories, but also by the psycholinguistic and textlinguistic questions of how children acquire linearization and other narrative strategies, how they develop them and how they use them to structure these texts in an adult-like way. The tales are presented in morpheme-interlinear transcriptions with first textlinguistic analyses and cultural background information necessary to fully understand them. A summarizing comparative analysis of the texts from a psycholinguistic, anthropological linguistic and philological point of view discusses the underlying schemata of the stories, the means narrators use to structure them, their structural complexity and their cultural specificity.
