Farrar, Straus and Giroux Purity A Novel Jonathan Franzen A magnum opus for our morally complex times from the author of Freedom Young Pip Tyler doesn't know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she's saddled with $130,000 in student debt, that she's squatting with anarchists in Oakland, and that her relationship with her mother­her only family­is hazardous. But she doesn't have a clue who her father is, why her mother chose to live as a recluse with an invented name, or how she'll ever have a normal life. Enter the Germans. A glancing encounter with a German peace activist leads Pip to an internship in South America with the Sunlight Project, an organization that traffics in all the secrets of the world­including, Pip hopes, the secret of her FICTION origins. TSP is the brainchild of Andreas Wolf, a charismatic provocateur who rose to fame in the chaos following the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The territory of Reconnaissance is one where morals threaten to become merely "what the light falls through," "suffering [seems] in fact for nothing," and "all we do is maybe all we can do." In the face of this, Carl Phillips, reconsidering and unraveling what we think we know, maps out the contours of a world in revision, where truth lies captured at one moment and at the next goes free, transformed. These are poems of searing beauty, lit by hope and shadowed by it, from a poet whose work "reinstates the possibility of finding POETRY meaning in a world that is forever ready to revoke the sources of meaning in our lives" (Jonathan Farmer, Slate).

  • The Library of America Interviews Lloyd Schwartz About Elizabeth Bishop
    The Library of America Interviews Lloyd Schwartz about Elizabeth Bishop In connection with the publication in October 2007 of Elizabeth Bishop: Poems, Prose, and Letters , edited by Robert Giroux and Lloyd Schwartz, Rich Kelley conducted this exclusive interview for The Library of America e-Newsletter. Sign up for the free monthly e-Newsletter at www.loa.org . Critics now consider Elizabeth Bishop one of the great poets of the 20th century, but they have a bit of problem placing her. Marianne Moore was an early mentor and Robert Lowell raved about her first book of poems and became a close friend, yet her poems are not confessional. Some people say she reminds them of Wallace Stevens, others of Robert Frost. How would you characterize Elizabeth Bishop’s achievement and why is she so difficult to place? Maybe what makes her hard to place is exactly what makes her different from anyone else. The more we learn about her the more we realize that her biography has a lot more to do with both the kind of poet she was and with the subject of her poems than first meets the eye. Here was someone who grew up essentially an orphan. Her father died when she was only a few months old. Her mother had a series of nervous breakdowns , was not able to take care of her , and was institutionalized when Bishop was four. Elizabeth never saw her again even though her mother lived for 18 more years. She was brought up by her grandparents and her aunts and farmed out to private schools.

  • Roberto Bolaño, El Asesino Literario. Enfoque En Su Carrera De Escritor
    Hipertexto 20 Verano 2014 pp. 121-131 Roberto Bolaño, el asesino literario. Enfoque en su trayectoria de escritor C. Valeria Bril Universidad Nacional de Córdoba Hipertexto ivimos sin duda en una época de difícil discernimiento para los escritores que V parecen ponerse de moda por la vorágine de un mercado literario internacional que incorpora a autores que podríamos denominar como asesinos o suicidas literarios. Tal es el caso de Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003), un escritor chileno que vivió en México y se radicó en España. Bolaño supo encontrar el camino que lo llevaría finalmente al éxito editorial. Se convirtió en un asesino en masa o un asesino serial, o mejor dicho en un asesino pasional, para intentar corromper con su escritura las nulas y las duras consideraciones críticas que ignoraban su figura de escritor. Nada quedó fuera de su astuto entusiasmo como escritor para lograr ver la salida de su anonimato. Bolaño fue un problema para los medios crítico-literarios, porque se presentó con un perfil público controvertido y poco discreto para sus colegas, proponiendo sus propios enfoques y revalorizaciones de/sobre las obras de otros autores. El escritor chileno puede ser comparado, siguiendo sus palabras acerca de la escritura de los suicidas y de los asesinos, con: Un suicida, sea o no sea discreto, lo único que plantea son unas pocas (pero interesantes) preguntas, y en algunos casos hasta alguna respuesta. El problema es que muy poca gente sabe leer la escritura de los suicidas y en cambio mucha gente está convencida, entusiasmadamente convencida, de conocer la escritura de los asesinos”.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Elizabeth Bishop Edited by Angus Cleghorn and Jonathan Ellis Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02940-8 - The Cambridge Companion to Elizabeth Bishop Edited by Angus Cleghorn and Jonathan Ellis Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Elizabeth Bishop Elizabeth Bishop is increasingly recognized as one of the twentieth century’s most important and original poets. Initially celebrated for the minute detail of her descriptions, what John Ashbery memorably called her “thinginess,” Bishop’s reputation has risen dramatically since her death, in part owing to the publication of new work, including letters, stories, and visual art, as well as a controversial volume of uncollected poems, drafts, and fragments. This Companion to Elizabeth Bishop engages with key debates surrounding the interpretation and reception of Bishop’s published and unpublished writing in relation to questions of biography, the natural world, and politics. Individual chapters focus on well-known texts such as North & South, Questions of Travel , and Geography III , while offering fresh readings of the signifi cance of Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, and Brazil to Bishop’s life and work. With a chronology and guide to further reading, this volume explores the full range of Bishop’s artistic achievements and the extent to which the posthumous publications have contributed to her enduring popularity. Angus Cleghorn is professor of English and Liberal Studies at Seneca College, Toronto. Since 2004, he has served as the editor of the Elizabeth Bishop Bulletin for the Elizabeth Bishop Society. He has published articles on Bishop and Wallace Stevens, as well as the book Wallace Stevens’ Poetics: The Neglected Rhetoric (2000); guest-edited two issues of the Wallace Stevens Journal (1999, 2006); and co-edited the volume Elizabeth Bishop in the Twenty-First Century: Reading the New Editions (2012).

In The Underground Railroad—a selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2016—author Colson Whitehead (Sep 26) chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. While interweaving the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day, The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a powerful meditation on the history we all share. Whitehead will discuss the book and its relevance to the current social and political climate with Lisa Lucas, executive director of the National Book Foundation.

Postmodern works are seen as a reaction against Enlightenment thinking and Modernist approaches to literature.[1] Postmodern literature, like postmodernism as a whole, tends to resist definition or classification as a "movement". Indeed, the convergence of postmodern literature with various modes of critical theory, particularly reader-response and deconstructionist approaches, and the subversions of the implicit contract between author, text and reader by which its works are often characterised, have led to pre-modern fictions such as Cervantes' Don Quixote (1605,1615) and Laurence Sterne's eighteenth-century satire Tristram Shandy being retrospectively inducted into the fold.[2][3] While there is little consensus on the precise characteristics, scope, and importance of postmodern literature, as is often the case with artistic movements, postmodern literature is commonly defined in relation to a precursor.
