Book excerpt: " Requiem pour Harlem " conclut de façon magistrale l'une des plus extraordinaires odyssées littéraires et spirituelles de notre époque. Dans cet ultime volume de " A la merci d'un courant violent ", Ira Stigman rompt avec sa famille et son passé, quitte Harlem pour Greenwich Village. La radicalisation de sa vie n'a jamais été aussi extrême. D'un côté sa relation avec Edith Welles, dont l'influence le conduit vers la poésie et la réflexion intellectuelle. De l'autre côté, sa répugnance pour la pauvreté, sa haine pour son père et le spectre de sa relation avec sa cousine Stella, qui pourrait bien être enceinte de lui. Requiem pour Harlem est à la fois le roman de la rupture et celui de la rédemption : il marque la rencontre du jeune homme égocentrique et du vieillard désabusé, de l'écrivain en devenir et de l'écrivain reconnu. Et propose un autoportrait de l'artiste dans " une langue qui est tout à la fois, la sagesse, la beauté divine, la moquerie, le rire, la dérision, la voix de la plus haute ferveur et le bon sens le plus terre à terre ". (J.M.G. Le Clézio).

Book excerpt: 'A landmark of the American literary century' Boston Globe Sixty years after the publication of his great modernist masterpiece, Call It Sleep, Henry Roth returned with Mercy of a Rude Stream - a sequence of four internationally-acclaimed epic novels of immigrant life in early-twentieth century New York. Ira Stigman's polarised life has never been more difficult. On one side is Edith Welles, his supporter, friend and lover; she believes in him. On the other is his shameful immigrant origins, his poverty, his family with their arguments and lack of sophistication. Then there is his incestuous relations with his sister and his cousin, who may be pregnant. This fourth and final volume, published posthumously, brings to a close one of America's most extraordinary literary odysseys. 'The literary comeback of the century' Vanity Fair 'As unquenchably vibrant with life as the immigrants whose existence it commemorates' Sunday Times 'A dynamic and moving event . . . a stirring portrait of a vanished culture . . . a poignant chapter in the life-drama of a unique American writer' Newsweek 'Although it is sixty years since a new novel by Mr Roth last hit the bookshelves, it has been worth the wait' The Economist 'Fresh and touching' Wall Street Journal 'A precision of detail which brings the sounds from the tenements, the heat of the sidewalk steaming off the pages' Sunday Express 'A meticulous evocation of a now-distant episode of the American experience' New York Times Book Review Mercy of a Rude Stream: The Complete Novels includes 1) A Star Shines Over Mt. Morris Park 2) A Diving Rock on the Hudson 3) From Bondage 4) Requiem for Harlem.

Book Strangers at Home

    Book Details:
  • Author : Rita Keresztesi
  • Publisher : U of Nebraska Press
  • Release : 2005-01-01
  • ISBN : 0803227671
  • Pages : 247 pages

Download or read book Strangers at Home written by Rita Keresztesi and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strangers at Home reframes the way we conceive of the modernist literature that appeared in the period between the two world wars. This provocative work shows that a body of texts written by ethnic writers during this period poses a challenge to conventional notions of America and American modernism. By engaging with modernist literary studies from the perspectives of minority discourse, postcolonial studies, and postmodern theory, Rita Keresztesi questions the validity of modernism's claim to the neutrality of culture. She argues that literary modernism grew out of a prejudiced, racially biased, and often xenophobic historical context that necessitated a politically conservative and narrow definition of modernism in America. With the changing racial, ethnic, and cultural makeup of the nation during the interwar era, literary modernism also changed its form and content. ø Contesting traditional notions of literary modernism, Keresztesi examines American modernism from an ethnic perspective in the works of Harlem Renaissance, immigrant, and Native American writers. She discusses such authors as Countee Cullen, Nella Larsen, Zora Neale Hurston, Anzia Yezierska, Henry Roth, Josephina Niggli, Mourning Dove, D?Arcy McNickle, and John Joseph Mathews, among others. Strangers at Home makes a persuasive argument for expanding our understanding of the writers themselves as well as the concept of modernism as it is currently defined.
