The Space of Literature: A Translation of “L’Espace litteraire” – $295

3 November, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Paperback: 279 pages Publisher: University of Nebraska Press (December 1, 1989) Language: English ISBN-10: 080326092X “A series of fascinating, and frequently uncanny, meditations.”–Year’s Work in English Studies. “Authoritative analysis of the creative act… The translator’s introduction is as excellent as the translation itself.” Better to read this than to read ten manuals on the subject of writing.Blanchot evokes the non-presence of death in writing, writing’s necessary complicity with death. This death, however, is not the Hegelian death that would negate and finalize the subject […]

Independent People – $165

3 November, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Paperback: 512 pages Publisher: Vintage; 1st Vintage International Ed edition (January 14, 1997) Language: English ISBN-10: 0679767924 Originally published in 1946 and out of print for decades, this book by the Nobel Prize-winning Icelandic author is a huge, skaldic treat filled with satire, humor, pathos, cold weather and sheep. Gudbjartur Jonsson becomes Bjartur of Summerhouses when, after 18 years of service to the Bailiff of Myri, he is able to buy his own croft. Summerhouses is probably haunted and is certainly unprepossessing, but Bjartur […]

As I Walked Out One Evening – $175

3 November, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Paperback: 240 pages Publisher: Faber and Faber (October 9, 1995) Language: English ISBN-10: 0571175902 If we are to take Mendelson at his word in his preface to the controversial 1979 Selected Poems?he asserted that “the surest way to misunderstand Auden is to read him as the modernists’ heir”?then the validity of “light” poetry as a category may not need questioning. Auden himself, Mendelson reminds us, titled a section in Another Time (1940) “Lighter Poems.” But Mendelson is hardly taking authorial intention into account. He […]

Hopeful Monsters – $145

3 November, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Paperback: 551 pages Publisher: Vintage (February 2, 1993) Language: English ISBN-10: 0679739297 Like Sartre, Camus, and Kundera before him, Nicholas Mosley has put forth a supremely challenging work that relies as much on philosophical and political themes as pure storytelling. Max Ackerman and Eleanor Anders are ambitious intellectuals–British and German, respectively–whose fascination with the scientific trends and political upheaval of the 20th century take them around the world and, eventually, into each other’s arms. Intensifying, perhaps complicating the narrative of this 1990 Whitbread Prize winner is Mosley’s use as a […]

Me Talk Pretty One Day – $225

3 November, 2011 by rgonzalezr

Sedaris is Garrison Keillor’s evil twin: like the Minnesota humorist, Sedaris (Naked) focuses on the icy patches that mar life’s sidewalk, though the ice in his work is much more slippery and the falls much more spectacularly funny than in Keillor’s. Many of the 27 short essays collected here (which appeared originally in the New Yorker, Esquire and elsewhere) deal with his father, Lou, to whom the book is dedicated. Lou is a micromanager who tries to get his uninterested […]
