28 April, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Paperback: 304 pages Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics); First Edition edition (October 1, 2001) Language: English After many years as an independently published poet, Notley did two stellar books with Penguin in the ’90s: the 1996 long-poem, Descent of Alette, and 1998′s Pulitzer runner-up, Mysteries of Small Houses, recounting, among other things, Notley’s marriage to the late poet Ted Berrigan.

Working your way through this book–and it is work–is like sitting in on a terrific creative-writing seminar, minus […]

Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World – $230

14 April, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Almost all critics praised Lords of Finance for its command of economic history and engaging, lucid prose. Ahamed, noted the New York Times, illuminates wise parallels between the misplaced confidence that spawned the global depression in the 1930s and the illusory calculations of risk that led to the current financial crisis. His compelling biographies also personalize economic history. While critics disagreed about whether lay readers will, in a century’s time, care about Norman, Moreau, and Schact, the only negative words came from […]

Thurston Moore – Psychic Hearts – $380

11 April, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Label: DGC Catalog#: DGC-24810 Format: Vinyl Country: US Released: 1995 Genre: Rock Style: Indie Rock It was inevitable that Thurston Moore’s first solo offering would sound a bit like Sonic Youth, considering how integral his guitar playing and singing are to the band’s sound. What is surprising about Psychic Hearts is how Moore twists his standard lexicon of detatched vocals, dissonant guitar lines, and deliberately obscure musical/lyrical references into something resembling pop music, which is something Sonic Youth has rarely been able to achieve. Fourteen of the album’s 15 tracks are built […]

ISBN-10: 9682322138 Fecha de Publicación: 12/1/2000 Páginas: 376 Editorial: SIGLO XXI Encuadernación: Rústica EI fin de siglo ha prodigado las revisiones del canon literario, así como los balances y las revaloraciones. Esa actividad seguramente hace patente la precariedad de los juicios literarios y la fugacidad del gusto, pero también la necesidad del lector de elegir por su cuenta y hacer más pertinente la actualidad de su lectura. Recogiendo ese desafío, Julio Ortega se ha propuesto convocar al lector a […]
