Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Nobel Lectures From the Laureates 1986 to 2006 by The New Press NOBEL CAUSES. “Nobel Lectures” is a collection of acceptance speeches by 21 winners of the for Literature. Most took the opportunity to explain themselves and their baffling craft. “If art teaches us anything (to the artist, in the first place), it is the privateness of the human condition,” says. Or perhaps it’s as Camilo Jose Cela says, “literature is an art form of all and for all, although written without deference, heeding only the voiceless, anonymous murmur of a given place and time.” Or, from Turkish winner Orhan Pamuk, “a writer talks of things that everyone knows but does not know they know.” If you write, even in private, for pleasure, this is a collection to have around for inspiration. Finishing each speech makes you think you’ve cracked the secret of fine prose, until you read the next one from another master. It’s Pamuk, again, who says, “A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him.” Perhaps not years, but after reading his touching speech about his father’s suitcase full of diaries, and you’ll spend at least a couple hours looking for your own second self. This book urges you to read (as much as each speaker as you can) and put pen to paper, or at least finger to keyboard. Flattered by the attentions of , forced to explain themselves, these honorees make writing sound philosophical and seductive. “Word-work,” says, is “sublime a We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” The New Press. I’d Like to Say Sorry, but There’s No One to Say Sorry To. Translated from the Polish by Sean Gasper Bye. An exquisitely original collection of darkly funny stories that explore the panorama of Jewish experience in contemporary Poland, from a world- class contemporary writer. “These small, searing prose pieces are moving and unsettling at the same time. If the diagnosis they present is right, then we have a great problem in Poland.” —, Nobel Prize laureate and author of Flights. Mikołaj Grynberg is a psychologist and photographer who has been collecting and publishing oral histories of Polish Jews. In his first work of fiction—a book that has been widely praised by critics and was shortlisted for Poland’s top literary prize—Grynberg recrafts those histories into little jewels, fictionalized short stories with the ring of truth. Both biting and knowing, I’d Like to Say Sorry, but There’s No One to Say Sorry To takes the form of first-person vignettes, through which Grynberg explores the daily lives and tensions within Poland between Jews and gentiles haunted by the Holocaust and its continuing presence. In “Unnecessary Trouble,” a grandmother discloses on her deathbed that she is Jewish; she does not want to die without her family knowing. What is passed on to the family is fear and the struggle of what to do with this information. In “Cacophony,” Jewish identity is explored through names, as Miron and his son Jurek demonstrate how heritage is both accepted and denied. In “My Five Jews,” a non-Jewish narrator remembers five interactions with her Jewish countrymen, and her own anti-Semitism, ruefully noting that perhaps she was wrong and should apologize, but no one is left to say I’m sorry to. Each of the thirty-one stories is a dazzling and haunting mini-monologue that highlights a different facet of modern Poland’s complex and difficult relationship with its Jewish past.
