  • Bibliography & End-Notes
    TESTIMONY Sources This is a compilation of sources I consulted while researching Testimony, both works that provided general information about recurring themes, e.g., Gypsy life, and ones that inspired specific statements in the novel. I mean to be forthright about the points of departure for my imagination, as well as to provide an opportunity for further reading for those who might be curious about the actual facts, remembering that Testimony is fiction, and not intended to be a reliable portrayal of any real-world person or event. BIBLIOGRAPHY Books Isabel Fonseca, Bury Me Standing, (Knopf, 1995) Available currently in a Vintage Departures edition. This book by a researcher who met and lived among various European Rom communities remains gorgeously written, intricately researched, and constantly moving. Ian Hancock, We Are the Romani People (University of Hertfordshire Press, 2002) An introductory guide to Rom culture. Professor Hancock, Rom by birth, is one of the world’s leading experts on Romnipen and his people, to whom he, understandably, remains fiercely loyal. Like Fonseca, he is occasionally criticized for being more advocate than scholar, but his works were invaluable to me, and this book is only one of several works of his that I consulted, including several of his lectures and interviews captured on YouTube. Aleksandar Hemon, The Book of My Lives (Picador 2013). A deserving finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Non-Fiction, this book is a memoir in essays about Sasha’s movement from his boyhood in Bosnia to Chicago, from which he watched at a distance as the world he grew up in was savaged.

Introduction Emir Kusturica is arguably one of the greatest Yugoslav and European filmmakers ever. His fifth film – Underground, also known as Once Upon a Time There Was a Country, a surrealist black comedy about the history and breakup of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, won the Palme D’Or at the 48th Cannes Film Festival in 1995. It was the director’s second accolade at Cannes in ten years; Kusturica also won the coveted award for his 1985 film When Father Was Away on Business. In the spring of 1995, the wars in Bosnia and Croatia were nearing their final stage. Despite the fact that the conflict was coming to its close after four long years, some of its most horrifying and atrocious chapters were yet to be written, and some of the most heinous war crimes in Europe since WWII yet to be committed.

    Bono’s Personality 1 Running head: EVALUATING BONO’S PERSONALITY The Fly Evaluating the Personality of Paul Hewson (a.k.a Bono) Brian Berry Box 31 Atlantic Baptist University PS2033 Dr. Edith Samuel November 24, 2008 Bono’s Personality 2 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyse the personality of Paul Hewson, better known to the world as “Bono” As one reads through this paper he or she will see how the different aspects of Bono’s personality mesh together to make him the person he is. One will also come to understand how aspects of Bono’s personality relate to the ideas of certain personality theorists. Bono’s Personality 3 The person whose personality will be discussed and analyzed from multiple perspectives is none other than Paul Hewson, better known to the world by his stage name, Bono. He is best known for his participation in the band U2 as their lead vocalist and occasional rhythm guitar player for the entirety of the band’s existence (from 1976 to present day). He is also known as of lately for his humanitarian work with the “One” campaign to try to eliminate poverty in Africa. Bono has been known to be very outspoken on issues that he deems important such as this crisis of poverty in Africa and his dream to see that become an actual non issue by eradicating poverty altogether. (Maddy Fry, Bono Biography http://www.atu2.com/band/bono/ ) Like everyone else in this world the personality of Paul Hewson (Bono) began to form at birth.

  • Pavarotti Ans Telefon

Weil ich nie zurückrief, brüll- te er meine Haushälterin an, sie solle Gott ausrichten, daß er Pavarotti ein Lied zu schreiben habe.“ Bono gab nach und komponierte „Miss Sarajevo“. Daß der Experimental-Pop durchaus gelungene Momente enthält, ist eher Brian Eno als den U2-Musikern zu ver- danken, die sich offenbar nur aus Orien- tierungslosigkeit auf das Projekt einge- lassen haben.

  • Dancing About Architecture : Postmodernism and Irish Popular Music
    Dancing About Architecture : Postmodernism and Irish Popular Music Stephen Ryan 'Writing about music is like dancing about architecture' Elvis Costello Introduction Listening to Bono of U2 in a recent radio interview, I was struck by a comment he made. He was talking about contemporary and past musics, and how the past and the present are tied up with hopes and fears about the future. It was, he argued, a case of the difference between yesterdays tomorrow and todays tomorrow. Yesterday's tomorrow was about a confidence for the future, a belief that progress was more or less inevitable and, for music, that artistic creativity would continue to blossom and produce great works. By contrast, today's tomorrow is characterised by a chronic lack of confidence in the future, a deep-seated questioning of the possibility of further progress, and a resigned belief that absolute musical creativity is no longer possible (if it had ever existed in the first place) simply because all the good music has been written already. This, for me, is crucial to the very idea of postmodern music. However, as Elvis Costello's quote above suggests, any attempt to rationalise, analyse or intellectualise music is bound to fail. By its very nature, music is not readily suited to a written discourse. Added to this is the problem of how different sectors of the music community react to attempts of any academic approach to popular music is bound to come up against some resistance. This resistance tends to take two forms: one that comes from the music industry itself and one from academia.
