    # 1/08 JAN|FEB KAPU ZINE EDITORIAL Salut! Ich spar mir an dieser Stelle den obligatorischen Jahresrückblick! Straight forward lautet die Devise und ich persönlich freu mich auf das kommende Jahr. Programmatisch starten wir mit einer, meiner Meinung nach, durchaus gelungenen Mischung. Neben einigen internationalen Acts, auf die ihr euch schon freuen könnt, kommen auch österreichische und vor allem Linzer MusikerInnen nicht zu kurz, die mindestens die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit verdienen. Zum ersten mal wird Ende Fe- bruar das O-Heim-Mini-Winter-Festival stattfinden. Stationen sind die STWST und die KAPU, die sich neben dem Verein „Open Air Ottensheim“ fürs Programm ver- antwortlich zeigen. Aber das Programm könnt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten ja in aller Ruhe nachlesen. Was passiert ansonsten in der neuen KAPU-Saison? Jahreswechsel ziehen ja meist große Vorsätze und Pläne mit sich. Das ist bei uns nicht anders. Ein Bisschen sei schon mal verraten... Wir sind wie immer voller Wahnsinnsideen und Tatendrang! Für den Jahresanfang stehen zwei Projekte an. Einerseits wird die KAPUtique ihr virtuelles Dahinsiechen endgültig hinter sich lassen und in neuem Glanze im ehemaligen Fiftitu%-Büro im 1. Stock auferstehen. Das Ganze wird natürlich gebührend gefeiert; doch mehr dazu weiter hinten. Ebenfalls geplant ist eine „offene KünstlerInnenwerkstätte“; einen genauen Zeitplan dafür gibt es leider bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht. Doch was nicht ist, das kann noch werden. Gebt uns noch ein wenig Zeit und dann werdet ihr auch über Details und Nutzungsmöglichkeiten umgehend informiert (KAPUzine LeseInnen sind ja immer vorn dabei! Auch wenn es diesmal etwas später kommt, doch auch DruckerInnen verdienen Feier- tagsurlaub.) Ebenfalls in Planung ist ein neuer KAPU-Sampler; die ersten Bands sind angeheuert, die Diskussion um den Titel ist nach kämpferischen Aus- einandersetzungen abgeschlossen und wir sind gespannt, wer aller seinen/Ihren Weg auf diese kleine silberne Scheibe findet.

  • Praise for Black & White
    praise for black & white “Set in Durham, NC, Shiner’s powerful and affecting sixth novel...explores civil rights, race relations and ‘progress’ in that city over the past half century....Shiner weaves Michael’s, Robert’s and Ruth’s stories into a stunning tapestry that captures the hopes, dreams, greed, bigotry, ambitions and betrayals that shaped their destinies and those of our country.” —Publishers Weekly “Lewis Shiner’s latest, Black & White, is killer. Strong charac- ters, suspenseful situations, and tremendous insight. A novel that doesn’t flinch from social issues, and is so gracefully written it makes you want to weep. Should not be missed. Lewis Shiner is the real deal, and this is his finest work.” — Joe R. Lansdale, author of The Bottoms “Shiner, with exhaustive research, uses the story of Hayti and urban renewal as the setting for a compelling novel that is part detective story, part novel of psychological discovery, and, most important, a story about the complex relationships that African-Americans and white people share.” —Cliff Bellamy inThe Durham Herald-Sun “A near-perfect novel—steeped in important political and societal issues, neatly wrapped in the trimmings of a mystery story. With Black & White, Lewis Shiner ascends to a literary realm previously reserved for the likes of Michael Chabon and Jonathan Lethem.” —Rick Klaw in The Austin Chronicle “Black & White, Lewis Shiner’s long-awaited return to the novel, is social realism so urgent and committed as to be an act of witnessing.
