Foreword I am extremely delighted to note that the Department of English is bringing out a book on relevant issues relating to Remapping Identity, Culture and History through Literature in collusion with Veda Publications. The essays by erudite academicians and research scholars probe deeply into assorted aspects of modern global issues of Identity, Culture and History, a multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with cross references that connect Literature with Culture and History of various works of authors dealing with cultural aspects and Identity crisis globally. Diversified poems, novels and plays written by authors throw light on the current burning issue of diaspora and cultural conflicts. The younger generation will glean awareness on various sensitive issues like marginalization and trauma of migration that confronts people today. I am sure this book will give numerous ideas which will be an eye opener to many issues through a plethora of literary genres.

  • Dave Hartley on How to Balance Your Personal Project with the One That Pays the Bills
    October 30, 2017 - Philadelphia’s Dave Hartley is best known for his supporting role as the bassist in The War on Drugs, the popular heartland rock band that just released its fourth album, A Deeper Understanding. Aside from the band’s founder, Adam Granduciel, Hartley is the only member to appear on every album. But in his spare time, Hartley makes symphonic pop as Nightlands, a group he concedes may sell more tickets and records if it sounded more like The War on Drugs. But for Hartley, who released his fourth Nightlands album, I Can Feel the Night Around Me, in May, compensation is the least important reason for pursuing his own project. As told to Grayson Haver Currin, 2256 words. Tags: Music, Inspiration, Beginnings, Process, First attempts, Multi-tasking, Success. Dave Hartley on how to balance your personal project with the one that pays the bills You released the first album from your own project, Nightlands, two years after the first album by The War on Drugs. Did playing bass with that band inspire you to try something on your own? The story of my involvement in The War on Drugs is the story of musical maturation. I met Adam Granduciel when I was 25 or so. We both worked a shit job together at this property management company. We’d moved to Philadelphia around the same time for the same reasons. A lot of people leave home, go to college, and want to go somewhere new. You don’t realize at the time that you’re setting your life on a path, when you think you’re just drifting.

  • The War on Drugs: Dream World
    The War on Drugs: Dream World 4 The War on0 Drugs: Dream World By Michael Tedder Contributor on 03.10.14 in Features “One more round,” Adam Granduciel yells, hand in the air. He steps back into the batting cage and, just like the last few times, most of the balls he hits go straight up to the top of the net. I’m not entirely sure how one “wins” at a batting cage, but I’m fairly certain that’s not it. The cage in question, Philadelphia’s Everybody Hits, has been, at various times in its history, a silent-movie Lost In The Dream theater, a dirty-movie theater and a popular location for The War On Drugs wedding receptions. Looking at the wooden floors, I 2014 | Secretly Canadian / SC Distrib… doubt they’ve been cleaned since the silent-movie era. Buy Now There’s a distressed wall completely covered with baseball cards and two pinball machines in the back, though only the 1983 Sega Championship Pinball game has both flippers. A few neighborhood kids are running around, one of whom grabs my tape recorder mid-interview to ask me what it is. An iPod is pumping out a Pavement playlist, and a True Value sign hangs on the right wall. I’ve come to Everybody Hits to watch the War on Drugs hit a few balls, and to get some insight into the making of their third album Lost in the Dream, a monumental testament to the enduring power of American rock and roll, and the infinite possibilities for mutation contained therein.

This will be a must-buy for dedicated fans of both the author and illustrator’s work. Jeffrey Archer is one of the world’s favourite storytellers and has topped the bestseller lists around the world in a career spanning four decades.

Jeffrey Norman Scott: My favorite pizza place ever was Symposium Greek pizza in Davis, CA, though I'm relatively happy at any Round Table. As for my favorite topping, just yesterday I was rereading "Ash Wednesday" by T.S. Eliot (who can guess the topping?): Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper-tree In the cool of the day, having fed to satiety On my legs my heart my liver and that which had been contained In the hollow round of my skull. And God said Shall these bones live? shall these Bones live? And that which had been contained In the bones (which were already dry) said chirping: Because of the goodness of this Lady And because of her loveliness, and because She honours the Virgin in meditation, We shine with brightness. And I who am here dissembled Proffer my deeds to oblivion, and my love To the posterity of the desert and the fruit of the gourd. It is this which recovers My guts the strings of my eyes and the indigestible portions Which the leopards reject.
