Download or read book The Ruins of Urban Modernity written by Utku Mogultay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ruins of Urban Modernity examines Thomas Pynchon's 2006 novel Against the Day through the critical lens of urban spatiality. Navigating the textual landscapes of New York, Venice, London, Los Angeles and the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, Against the Day reimagines urban modernity at the turn of the 20th century. As the complex novel collapses and rebuilds anew the spatial imaginaries underlying the popular fictions of urban modernity, Utku Mogultay explores how such creative disfiguration throws light on the contemporary urban world. Through critical spatial readings, he considers how Pynchon historicizes issues ranging from the commodification of the urban landscape to the politics of place-making. In Mogultay's reading, Against the Day is shown to offer an oblique negotiation of postmodern urban spaces, thus directing our attention to the ongoing erosion of sociospatial diversity in North American cities and elsewhere.

Born into wealth and privilege, Venice Arial is a product of the elite society in New Orleans, and lives a life arranged for her and rigidly overseen by her hateful mother, Lorraine. Venice feels her home, Arial Mansion, is a palatial prison, and her only escape is the family’s summer home, Belle-Haven, on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. While at Belle-Haven in the summer of 1916, Venice meets and falls deeply in love with a poor local boy, Etienne Armand. After Venice and Etienne are viciously torn apart by her mother, they meet unexpectedly in New Orleans. They are soon married but are faced with another hurdle- The Great War. With Etienne overseas, Venice has a child and tries to become self-reliant, but after no letter from Etienne in months, she is desperate for any word on her husband- until the dire information of his death arrives by telegram. After many years of denial and grief, Venice remarries but learns that her second husband has concealed traumatic and heartbreaking secrets from her. Will she retreat to her beloved Belle-Haven in hopes of starting over, or will she continue to live with the pain and anguish of the past?

Download or read book Jeff in Venice Death in Varanasi written by Geoff Dyer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-04-07 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book A Best Book of the Year: The Economist, The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Slate.com, and Time In Venice, at the Biennale, a jaded, bellini-swigging journalist named Jeff Atman meets a beautiful woman and they embark on a passionate affair. In Varanasi, an unnamed journalist (who may or may not be Jeff) joins thousands of pilgrims on the banks of the holy Ganges. He intends to stay for a few days but ends up remaining for months. Their journey—as only the irrepressibly entertaining Geoff Dyer could conjure—makes for an uproarious, fiendishly inventive novel of Italy and India, longing and lust, and the prospect of neurotic enlightenment.
Download or read book Tintoretto written by Tom Nichols and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacopo Tintoretto (1518–94) is an ambiguous figure in the history of art. His radically unorthodox paintings are not readily classifiable, and although he was a Venetian by birth, his standing as a member of the Venetian school is constantly contested. But he was also a formidable maverick, abandoning the humanist narratives and sensuous color palette typical of the great Venetian master, Titian, in favor of a renewed concentration on core Christian subjects painted in a rough and abbreviated chiaroscuro style. This generously illustrated book offers an extensive analysis of Tintoretto’s greatest paintings, charting his life and work in the context of Venetian art and the culture of the Cinquecento. Tom Nichols shows that Tintoretto was an extraordinarily innovative artist who created a new manner of painting, which, for all of its originality and sophistication, was still able to appeal to the shared emotions of the widest possible audience. This compact, pocket edition features sixteen additional illustrations and a new afterword by the author, and it will continue to be one of the definitive treatments of this once grossly overlooked master.
Download or read book Surviving written by Henry Green and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of short stories, journalism pieces, and various writings by the esteemed twentieth-century English novelist Henry Green. Surviving presents a miscellany of Henry Green’s writing, and is as reflective of his extraordinary and unclassifiable genius for the word as any of his great novels from Living to Loving to Nothing. Readers will find remarkable stories from the 1920s and 1930s; Green’s telling of his time in the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz; a short, unpublished play, Journey out of Spain; journalism; and the hilarious interview that Terry Southern conducted for The Paris Review. Edited by the novelist Matthew Yorke, Green’s grandson, Surviving also includes a memoir by Green’s son, Sebastian Yorke, that is a brilliant portrait of this maverick master.
Download or read book Through the Eye of My Lens written by Joseph B. Hendrix and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The travel photography I have chosen to share with you in my book has very special significance to me. Each image was taken with the greatest skill and determination that I have to offer. As you will see, there are very few images with people in them. It's not because I don't like people (I love people); it just wasn't the way I wanted to capture the views. Funny, my wife and daughter accompany me on my photo shoots and always ask "Dad; how long are you going to stand there and wait for those people to move out of your picture?" Actually, I hate to put them through that but, hopefully you will see the results of my labor as you maneuver through my website (josephhendrixphotography.com).
