Download or read book A Momentary Jokebook written by Iwen Jayson and published by Cleveland St U Poetry Cntr. This book was released on 2008 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the tradition of such classics as Nabokov's Pale Fire comes an absurdist literary puzzle, a distinctly 21st century fiction that manages to be both a metafictional romp through Ceausescu's Romania, and a lyric meditation on brutality, desire and the search for redemption. Jayson Iwen's A Momentary Notebook is an exercise in contemporary myth-making, at once strange, comic, and terrifying."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Strata written by Ewa Chrusciel and published by Emergency Press. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Ewa Chrusciel's first book in English, Strata, an exile's memories are so overcharged that they explode into "dots. We are burying them every day. We are burying them in staccato rhythm. They rise and accrete. They beat electric letters in the air." Magicalized by an enormous nostalgia, these memories are at once a rapture of possession (of being possessed) and defeatingly untotalizable. There are no connectives, the dots just won't add up. Even so, Chrusciel's striking sentences keep intermingling in ever-changing permutations, as if seeking a crystallizing formula. Strata is at once a tumultuous revelation of how much of the past there still is, right here in the near flight of letters, and of the burn of being in time at all, the difficulty of catching up with oneself in a universe that is never one, but always scattered. Strata is a book of concuspiscences, of combings for pleasures, yes, but even more for the Sacred of the Book it wants to be. In its every line, it shows that the rhapsodic is the right approach to the truth about the world."--publisher.

Download or read book One Word written by Molly McQuade and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A sublime anthology” of essays, memoirs, stories and careful considerations from 66 writers riffing on a single word (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In this darb collection, Molly McQuade asks the question all writers love to answer: what one word means the most to you, thrills you, or sets your teeth on edge? And why? Writers respond with a wild gallimaufry of their choosing, from ardor to bitchin’ to thermostat to wrong and very. There is corn, also—not the vegetable but the idea, defining cultural generations; solmizate, meaning to sing an object into place; and delicious slang, such as dassn’t. Composed as expository or lyric essays, zinging one-liners, extended quips, jeremiads, etymological adventures, or fantastic romps, the writings address not only English words but also a select few from French, German, Japanese, Quechua, Basque, Igbo, and others. Fascinating, funny, and ingeniously curated from critics, novelists, translators, poets, and academics, “the words profiled here have a new trace of meaning, warmth, and a time-worn glow” (John Morse, publisher of Merriam-Webster, Inc.)
