Download or read book Now the Night Begins written by Alain Guiraudie and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel that is a meditation on friendship, love, obsession, power, and abuse, by turns hyperrealist and phantasmagoric, recalling the work of Sade and Bataille. And he leaves. I'm not happy, I'm pretty upset at myself, I wasn't satisfied with him but I wouldn't have been any better without him. I sit on the couch and think. I'm not actually thinking, it's already been thought, I have to call Grampa... I need to hear his voice. I miss him. —from Now the Night Begins At the tail end of summer vacation, Gilles Heurtebise drifts between lazy afternoons, swimming, cruising the shores of a nearby lake, and absentmindedly hooking up with old lovers. He has yet to achieve material or romantic stability. He is forty, facing a precarious future with unformed fears and regrets. The one thing that seems solid is Grampa, the ninety-year-old patriarch of a family Gilles has befriended. Gilles grows obsessed by the old man, and a strange sexual bond grows between the two. When the police get involved, and Gilles is witness to a murder, the banality of interhuman violence is brought to a paroxysmal climax. The winner of France's prestigious Prix Sade, Now the Night Begins is a meditation on friendship, love, power, and abuse in a world where social relations have radically disintegrated. Interwoven with swaths of Occitan, the language of troubadours and love, and by turns hyperrealist and phantasmagoric, the novel recalls Georges Bataille's dark surrealism and the unvarnished violence of Bret Easton Ellis. It proves Alain Guiraudie's status as the preeminent writer of the vulnerability underlying our contemporary malaise. “The genial perversity of Alain Guiraudie's Now the Night Begins is something rare and fascinatingly energized, a metaphysical and moral slapstick that points to the arbitrariness of all authority and the fluidity of all desires. In its way, the most elegant, certainly the most hilarious brief for anarchy that anyone has written in a long time.” —Gary Indiana “Raw, sexual, and scatological, Alain Guiraudie's novel evokes Sade and Bataille.” —Elisabeth Philippe

Download or read book Yasoo Al Maseeh Date of His Return written by Mark Landon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, we have seen Christians making false predictions about the date of the return of Jesus Christ. Worse is the case of the Muslims. Even though Muslims too are supposed to be waiting for the return of Jesus, which is something written in their Qur'an, but unfortunately Muslims invented stories to wait for something else except what the Lord promised. This is why Muslims never tried to search when Jesus will return as if this does not concern them, which is so sad. Jesus is an important part of the Muslims' faith. During my study in theology, reading books from different beliefs, I came to realize that every faith is waiting for the coming of someone: Muslims are waiting for someone called Al Mahdi, Christians are waiting for Jesus, Jews are waiting for their Jewish Messiah, Hindus are waiting for the last Avatar, and so on. From all of those, Jesus is the sure fact, and there is no myth about him or about his return.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to the Modernist Novel written by Morag Shiach and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel is modernism's most vital and experimental genre. In this 2007 Companion leading critics explore the very significant pleasures of reading modernist novels, but also demonstrate how and why reading modernist fiction can be difficult. No one technique or style defines a novel as modernist. Instead, these essays explain the formal innovations, stylistic preferences and thematic concerns which unite modernist fiction. They also show how modernist novels relate to other forms of art, and to the social and cultural context from which they emerged. Alongside chapters on prominent novelists such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, as well as lesser-known authors such as Dorothy Richardson and Djuna Barnes, themes such as genre and geography, time and consciousness are discussed in detail. With a chronology and guide to further reading, this is the most accessible and informative overview of the genre available.
