Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 14. 1990, a sniper massacred 41 innocent people from a high-rise building in Houston, Texas. The sniper, Kenneth Wilson, is killed by police. Kenneth turns out to be a University of Texas student, who by all accounts, is the least likely person to commit any crime, much less one as horrific as mass murder. Detective Deke Sullivan is assigned the case of finding a motive for the killings and any possible connection to subversive groups. Kenneth left a journal detailing the months prior to the killings. He recounts how he suddenly is unable to stay wake after 11 a.m., and sleeps until at least 3 p.m. every day. He also tells of things that he has done during his “sleeping” hours. With the help of a psychic and fellow student named Karen Stevens, Kenneth learns that during those hours he is being controlled by a deceased killer named Ahmed Pfarzzi, who died ten years earlier, and that Ahmed is going to use him to continue his murderous rampage to honor his father. After Kenneth’s death, Ahmed gains possession of a new body, a cop, which he intends to use to kill both Deke, who’s finally been convinced that possession is real, and Karen. Together they must destroy Ahmed once and for all, as well as the house where Ahmed’s earthly reference point is located.

Download or read book The German Joyce written by Robert K. Weninger and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first comprehensive account of the enormous impact of Joyce on German modernist and postmodern writers. An indispensable book on Joyce's 'German' face."—Gerald Gillespie, Stanford University In August 1919, a production of James Joyce's Exiles was mounted at the Munich Schauspielhaus and quickly fell due to harsh criticism. The reception marked the beginning of a dynamic association between Joyce, German-language writers, and literary critics. It is this relationship that Robert Weninger analyzes in The German Joyce. Opening a new dimension of Joycean scholarship, this book provides the premier study of Joyce's impact on German-language literature and literary criticism in the twentieth century. The opening section follows Joyce's linear intrusion from the 1910s to the 1990s by focusing on such prime moments as the first German translation of Ulysses, Joyce's influence on the Marxist Expressionism debate, and the Nazi blacklisting of Joyce's work. Utilizing this historical reception as a narrative backdrop, Weninger then presents Joyce's horizontal diffusion into German culture. Weninger succeeds in illustrating both German readers' great attraction to Joyce's work as well as Joyce's affinity with some of the great German masters, including Goethe and Rilke. He argues that just as Shakespeare was a model of linguistic exuberance for Germans in the eighteenth century, Joyce became the epitome of poetic inspiration in the twentieth. This volume, through Weninger's critiques and repositions, simultaneously revisits the fraught relationship between influence and intertextuality in literary studies and reassesses their value as tools for contemporary comparative criticism today. Robert K. Weninger, emeritus professor of German and comparative literature at King’s College London, is author or editor of over ten books, including Arno Schmidts Joyce-Rezeption 1957-1970: Ein Beitrag zur Poetik Arno Schmidts, and is a past editor of the Journal of Comparative Critical Studies.

Download or read book Deconstructing Bret Easton Ellis written by Annette Schimmelpfennig and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riddled with intertextual references and notorious for their explicit portrayal of sex, drugs, and the occasional rock 'n' roll, the novels of Bret Easton Ellis reveal many layers. The novels are often accused of not making sense--but they instead make many senses. Their semantic complexity is obvious when put under a theoretical lens as provided by Jacques Derrida. His semiotic analysis, which focuses on the instability of meaning and is shaped by key terms such as differance, the trace, and the supplement, offers the ideal framework to look behind Ellis's obsession with surfaces. Aimed at aficionados of Ellis's works as well as students of contemporary American fiction and literary theory, this book discusses the central issues in Ellis's novels through 2019 and offers a new perspective for the practical use of Derrida's ideas. In order to ensure accessibility, a theoretical chapter introduces all the concepts necessary to understand a Derridean analysis of Ellis's fiction. As Rip says in Imperial Bedrooms: "It means so many things, Clay."
Download or read book What Disturbs Our Blood written by James FitzGerald and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich, unmined piece of Canadian history, an intense psychological drama, a mystery to be solved . . . and a hardwon escape from a family curse. Like his friends Banting and Best, Dr. John FitzGerald was a Canadian hero. He founded Connaught Labs, saved untold lives with his vaccines and transformed the idea of public health in Canada and the world. What so darkened his reputation that his memory has been all but erased? A sensitive, withdrawn boy is born into the gothic house of his long dead grandfather, a brilliant yet tormented pathologist of Irish blood and epic accomplishment whose memory has been mysteriously erased from public consciousness. As the boy watches his own father—also an eminent doctor—plunge into a suicidal psychosis, he intuits, as the psychiatrists do not, some unspeakable secret buried like a tumour deep in the multi-generational layers of the family unconscious. Growing into manhood, he knows in his bones that he must stalk an ancient curse before it stalks him. To set himself free, he must break the silence and put words to the page. His future lies in the past.
Download or read book The Off Screen written by Eyal Peretz and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Renaissance on, a new concept of the frame becomes crucial to a range of artistic media, which in turn are organized around and fascinated by this frame. The frame decontextualizes, cutting everything that is within it from the continuity of the world and creating a realm we understand as the realm of fiction. The modern theatrical stage, framed paintings, the novel, the cinematic screen—all present us with such framed-off zones. Naturally, the frame creates a separation between inside and out. But, as this book argues, what is outside the frame, what is offstage, or off screen, remains particularly mysterious. It constitutes the primary enigma of the work of art in the modern age. It is to the historical and conceptual significance of this "off" that this book is dedicated. By focusing on what is outside the frame of a work of art, it offers a comprehensive theory of film, a concise history of American cinema from D.W. Griffith to Quentin Tarantino, and a reflection on the place and significance of film within the arts of modernity in general.

Download or read book The Core of the Self written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital \Media. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CORE OF THE SELF logically follows 'The Soul of Being' (1998) as a major text in which the various aphoristic cycles spiral towards a new summit identified, in this case, with the core of the self conceived in intensely metaphysical terms. The writing of this author of course goes on, as does his doggedly logical pursuit of Truth, way beyond this particular title, but here it achieves a degree of definitiveness in connection with its main subjects that it would be difficult if not impossible to refute.

Book excerpt: The Promise Of Eden is the story of Gregory Coleman, a boy caught in a maze of deception, who has been reared in the company of ghosts. When his imaginary friend, Anna, reveals to him that she is a spirit trapped in his home, she requests his help for one simple duty: to help her find heaven. To aid him in this task, she introduces him to Sylvia, a centuries-old poltergeist with aspirations of godhood and to Joseph, a hermit with mysterious ties to the small town of New Harmony, Indiana-once the site of a failed Utopian experiment. The trio form an alliance to groom Gregory to be a powerful medium in the hopes of delivering Anna to her final resting place. As Gregory matures he discovers the truth about Anna's bizarre death and uncovers the secrets of a long-dead cult that is attempting to ressurect itself. For Anna is not what she seems, nor is she the benign playmate he always thought her to be.
Download or read book Putnam Camp written by George Prochnik and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2007 Gradiva Award An innovative work of biography that traces the lasting impact of the friendship between Sigmund Freud and pioneering American psychologist James Jackson Putnam. In 1909 Sigmund Freud made his only visit to America, which included a trip to "Putnam Camp”–the eminent American psychologist James Jackson Putnam's family retreat in the Adirondacks. "Of all the things that I have experienced in America, this is by far the most amazing," Freud wrote of Putnam Camp. Putnam, a Boston Unitarian, and Freud, a Viennese Jew, came from opposite worlds, cherished polarized ambitions, and promoted seemingly irreconcilable visions of human nature–and yet they struck up an unusually fruitful collaboration. Putnam's unimpeachable reputation played a crucial role in legitimizing the psychoanalytic movement. By the time of Putnam's death in 1918, psychoanalysis had been launched in America, where–in large part thanks to the influence of Putnam, and in a development Freud had not anticipated–it went on to become a practice that moved beyond the vicissitudes of desire to cultivate the growth and spiritual aspirations of the individual as a whole. Putnam Camp reveals details of Putnam's and Freud's personal lives that have never been fully explored before, including the crucial role Putnam's muse, Susan Blow–founder of America's first kindergarten, pioneering educator and philosopher in the American Hegelian movement–played in the intense debate between these two great thinkers. As the great-grandson of Putnam, author George Prochnik had access to a wealth of personal firsthand material from the Putnam family–as well as from the James and Emerson families–all of which contribute to a new and intimate vision of the texture of daily life at a moment when America was undergoing a cultural and intellectual renaissance.
Download or read book The Endurance of Frankenstein written by George Levine and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MARY SHELLEY's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus grew out of a parlor game and a nightmare vision. The story of the book's origin is a famous one, first told in the introduction Mary Shelley wrote for the 1831 edition of the novel. The two Shelleys, Byron, Mary's stepsister Claire Clairmont, and John William Polidori (Byron's physician) spent a "wet, ungenial summer in the Swiss Alps." Byron suggested that "each write a ghost story." If one is to trust Mary Shelley's account (and James Rieger has shown the untrustworthiness of its chronology and particulars), only she and "poor Polidori" took the contest seriously. The two "illustrious poets," according to her, "annoyed by the platitude of prose, speedily relinquished their uncongenial task." Polidori, too, is made to seem careless, unable to handle his story of a "skull-headed lady." Though Mary Shelley is just as deprecating when she speaks of her own "tiresome unlucky ghost story," she also suggests that its sources went deeper. Her truant muse became active as soon as she fastened on the "idea" of "making only a transcript of the grim terrors of my waking dream": "'I have found it! What terrified me will terrify others."' The twelve essays in this collection attest to the endurance of Mary Shelley's "waking dream." Appropriately, though less romantically, this book also grew out of a playful conversation at a party. When several of the contributors to this book discovered that they were all closet aficionados of Mary Shelley's novel, they decided that a book might be written in which each contributor-contestant might try to account for the persistent hold that Frankenstein continues to exercise on the popular imagination. Within a few months, two films--Warhol's Frankenstein and Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein--and the Hall-Landau and Isherwood-Bachardy television versions of the novel appeared to remind us of our blunted purpose. These manifestations were an auspicious sign and resulted in the book Endurance of Frankenstein.
