His work eschews all cant . Its sheer verve, the way it burrows beneath ossified forms of writing, its discipline and the distance it places between itself and the jaded preoccupations of local fiction, distinguish it . —Sunday Times (South Africa) Vladislavi´c’s cryptic, haunting tale echoes Jorge Luís Borges and David Lynch, drawing readers into its strange depths . —Publishers Weekly The Folly is mysterious, lyrical, and wickedly funny – a masterful novel about loving and fearing your neighbor . —Katie Kitamura 2 The Folly A vacant patch of South African veld next to the comfortable, complacent Malgas by household has been taken over by a mysterious, eccentric figure with “a plan ”. Fash- ioning his tools out of recycled garbage, the stranger enlists Malgas’s help in clearing ivan vladislavic´ the land and planning his new home . Slowly but inevitably, the stranger’s charm and the novel’s richly inventive language draw Malgas and the reader in . Then, just as quietly, all that seemed solid begins to melt back into air . Grimly humorous and play- fully serious, Vladislavi´c’s classic first novel is a comic and philosophical masterpiece . IVAN VLADISLAVIC´ was born in Pretoria in 1957 and lives in Johannesburg . His September 2015 books include The Restless Supermarket, The Exploded View, Double Negative, and 160 pages Flashback Hotel . In 2006, he published Johannesburg: A Portrait with Keys . He has $16 trade paperback edited and contributed to books on architecture and art, and has collaborated with visual artists . Vladislavi´c has received the Sunday Times Fiction Prize, the Alan Paton ISBN: 978-0-914671-7-4 Award, the University of Johannesburg Prize, and, most recently, a 2015 Windham E-ISBN: 978-0-914671-8-1 fiction Campbell Prize for fiction . archipelago books www.archipelagobooks.org Private Life is a delightful, intelligent, and exciting novel, the best ever written about Barcelona . One of the high points of 20th century Catalan and European literature, it is an unflinching portrait of the social mores of the high and low classes, the desire to be someone, and the destruction of a way of life . —Quim Monzó Expect murder, revenge, and fallings in and out of love . Barcelona between the wars is full of tawdry vitality, much like the novel itself . —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Private Life holds up a mirror to the moral corruption in the interstices of the Barcelona high society Sagarra was born into . Boudoirs of demimonde tramps, card games dilapidating the fortunes of milquetoast aristocrats – and how they scheme to conceal them – fading manors of selfish scions, and back rooms provided by social-climbing seamstresses are portrayed in vivid, sordid, and literary detail . The novel, practically a roman-à-clef for its contemporaries, was a scandal in 192 . The 4 Private Life 1960s edition was bowdlerized by Franco’s censors . Part Lampedusa, part Genet, this 5 by translation will bring an essential piece of 20th-century European literature to the josep maria de sagarra English-speaking public .

A hero of the Italian Resistance, Tristano has called a writer to his bedside to listen to his life story, though, really, “you don’t tell a life… you live a life, and while you’re living it, it’s already lost, has slipped away ”. Tristano Dies, one of Antonio Tabucchi’s major achievements, is a vibrant consideration of love, war, devotion, betrayal, and the instability of the past, of storytelling, and what it means to be a hero .

    Michael Schmitt Literature and Criticism – Immutable Canon or Ongoing Debate? A precarious trade Literary criticism can be many things - or at least aspire to be many things - and depending on one's perspective it can therefore readily be seen as either arrogant pontification, or a worthy contribution to spreading the word about new books; for many journalists, however, it is also a singularly precarious line of work. Regardless of medium - newspaper, magazine, radio , TV, internet - it is a hybrid phenomenon. Once - in days long gone - it was regarded as the very acme of cultural criticism in essay form. Over a long period of time it also served as a key factor in determining the success or failure of a book in the eyes of the public. All such considerations are highly contentious these days. But literary criticism still has its place within supra-regional German-language media, and current claims that this special place is steadily diminishing are also essentially a question of perspective. Compared to the fat years enjoyed by the German media in the 1990s the space allotted to literary criticism has indeed clearly lessened, and the fees paid to its producers are now considerably lower. But anyone dipping into the archives in search of an article from the 1960s soon comes to appreciate just how substantial today's arts supplements still are; back then the supplements even in major newspapers often consisted of just a single page serving to cover everything - theatre, films, books, opinion pieces. And there weren't as many TV and radio stations offering programmes centred on literature.

The main forms of the interrelation of the artists of both countries in this field are studied. The interaction of both countries in the literary sphere is realized in different forms: participation in the international and book exhibitions, art events, reading, poetic evenings and so on. The role of the international book forums and some figures in the improvement of the literary contacts is defined. The presentations of the joint publishing and translation projects are held at the international literary fairs. Now- adays literature art platforms are the ways of unity of Ukraine separated by the Russian-Ukrainian war. An out- standing phenomenon is organization of literary evenings and meetings of writers within different culture and art events (Days of Ukrainian literature, Ukrainian-German Year of Languages an so on). Every year more and more Ukrainian and German figures and organizations join them. The urgent literature problems are discussed there.

  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Nature, Landscape and Identity in the Netherlands Indies Literary Constructions of Being Dutch in the Tropics
    SUSIE PROTSCHKY Nature, landscape and identity in the Netherlands Indies Literary constructions of being Dutch in the tropics Recent trends in Indonesian history suggest a fruitful point at which two major fields of research might begin to converge: one is the growing body of litera- ture on environmental history, the other is the abundant scholarship on social history and identity in colonial contexts. Studies of indigenous and colonial land-use patterns, conservation policies and practices, and Asian attitudes toward landscape and nature are some of the recent scholarly sojourns into Indonesia’s colonial past.1 However, few of these studies enlighten us on the attitudes of the governing elite (comprised mainly, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, of Dutch colonists) toward the distinctive landscapes of the tropics and the place of the elite within these landscapes. Social histories of the Netherlands Indies provide a detailed insight into the complex and often fluid relations between Europeans and Asians that were mediated by class, ethnicity and gender. Rarely, however, have social histories taken account of the nexus between nature, landscape and colonial identity – a surprising over- sight, given the quantity of European sources on responses to the Indonesian environment, and given that the very motive for Dutch colonization of the In- dies often centred upon agricultural profits and resource extraction. This ar- ticle uses three colonial novels written during the first half of the twentieth century to examine how Indonesian nature and landscapes, which differed so profoundly from those of the Netherlands, affected the cultural identity of the Dutch in the Indies during the final decades of colonial rule.

Signature: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This thesis is the result of a long and intense process and it would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of a number of people. I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Edward Grasman. Thanks to his patience and guidance throughout this long process and the necessary steering in the right direction when I needed it, I can now finish this project. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Paul van den Akker and Drs. Irmgard Koningsbruggen. My love for Florence began during a school excursion led by these two great teachers, who showed us the secret and not so secret places of Florence, and most importantly, introduced me to the Palazzo Davanzati. Finally, I must express my profound gratitude to my parents and my sister for their love, unfailing belief and continuous encouragement in me during this process, and to my friends, family and roommates, who picked me up when I had fallen down and constantly reminded me that I was able to finish this process.

As my own work has fo cused over the last decade more squarely on the sexual politics of race, those questions have fe lt more pressing than ever before. At a time when Fou­ cault's work has had such an enormous impact on anthropology and on the discursive and historic turns within it, why have contemporary schol­ ars dealt in such an oblique way with the slimmest and, some might ar­ gue, the most accessible of his major works, volume 1 of The History of Sexuality? More precisely, why has colonial studies, where issues of sexu­
