  • Ted Chiang Story of Your Life and Ot
    Ted chiang story of your life and ot Continue Soon there will be a major film starring Amy Adams. This new edition of Ted Chang's masterful first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, includes his first eight published short stories plus the author's story notes, and the cover that the author commissioned himself. Combining the precision and scientific curiosity of Kim Stanley Robinson with Lorry Moore's cool, clear love of language and narrative subtlety, this award-winning collection offers readers the dual charms of a very, very strange and heartbreakingly familiar. The stories of your life and others represent characters that must withstand sudden changes - the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens - while striving to maintain some sense of normality. In an amazing and highly acclaimed title story, a grieving mother copes with her daughter's divorce and death, drawing on her knowledge of alien languages and non-linear memories of memory. Smart pastiche news and interviews chronicle the college's initiative to turn off a person's ability to recognize beauty in Love What You See: A Documentary. With sharp intelligence and humor, Chan examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty and constant change, as well as beauty and wonder. Ted Chang is one of the most celebrated science fiction authors writing today and is the author of numerous short stories, including most recently Exhale, which won hugo, British science fiction and the Locus Awards. He lives near Seattle. An award-winning book from the author of Exhale, this collection of short stories mix absorbing narrative with reflections on the universe, existence, time and space .

  • Christy Moore and the Irish Protest Ballad
    “Ordinary Man”: Christy Moore and the Irish Protest Ballad MIKE INGHAM Introduction: Contextualizing the Modern Ballad In his critical study, The Long Revolution, Raymond Williams identified three definitions of culture, namely idealist, documentary, and social. He conceives of them as integrated strands of a holistic, organic cultural process pertaining to the “common associative life”1 of which creative artworks are an inalienable part. His renowned “structure of feeling” concept is closely related to this theoretical paradigm. The ballad tradition of popular and protest song in many ethnic cultural traditions exemplifies the core of Williams’s argument: it synthesizes the ideal aesthetic of the traditional folk song form as cultural production, the documentary element of the people, places, and events that the song records and the contextual resonances of the ballad’s source and target cultures. Likewise, the persistence and durability of the form over many centuries have ensured its survival as a rich source for ethnographic studies and an index of prevailing socio-political conditions and concerns. As twentieth-century commentators on the Anglophone ballad form, such as A. L. Lloyd, have observed, there is an evident distinction between the older ballad tradition, tending toward a more impersonal and distanced voice and perspective, and the more personal style of ballad composed after the anthropological research of ethnomusicologists such as Cecil Sharp, Alan Lomax, and others during the first half of the twentieth century. The former derives from a continuous lineage of predominantly anonymous or unattributed folk material that can be said to reside in the public domain, and largely resists recuperation or commodification by the music industry.

It lures them into landscapes authentic in detail and populated with all manner of rich characters, only to shatter the readers’ expectations and leave them questioning their perceptions. A Gene Wolfe story embeds stories within stories, dreams within memories, and truths within lies. It coaxes its readers into a safe place with familiar faces, then leads them to the edge of an abyss and disappears with the whisper of a promise. Often classified as Science Fiction or Fantasy, a Gene Wolfe story is as likely to dip into science as it is to make a literary allusion or religious metaphor. A Gene Wolfe story is fantastic in all senses of the word.
