Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COMRADE V. sits at the white console in the sparsely furnished, windowless room where he is held prisoner reading the daily printout that supplies a constantly altered version of his case history. The story that emerges from the details on the printout, V. concurs, is in many respects accurate: the incredible child prodigy who became a brilliant mathematician, highly respected in his own country and honored throughout the world. Beyond this point, V.'s story and that of his captors differ drastically. According to V., an increasing political awareness made him dangerous to a government which stripped him of his prestigious position and imprisoned him in a mental institution near the capital. And now, V. is convinced, both the daily printout and his psychiatrist are conspiring to shake his belief in his own sanity.

Book excerpt: Search and Clear demonstrates that the seeds of war were implicit in American culture, distinguishes between literature spawned by Vietnam and that of other conflicts, reviews the literary merits of works both well and little known, and explores the assumptions behind and the persistence of stereotypes associated with the consequences of the Vietnam War. It examines the role of women in fiction, the importance of gender in Vietnam representation, and the mythic patterns in Oliver Stone's Platoon. Essayists sharply scrutinize American values, conduct, and conscience as they are revealed in the craft of Tim O'Brien, Philip Caputo, Michael Herr, Stephen Wright, David Rabe, Bruce Weigl, and others.

Download or read book Jerzy Kosinski written by James Park Sloan and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was hailed as one of the world’s great writers and intellectuals, with novels like The Painted Bird and Being There. He was acclaimed as a heroic survivor and witness of the Holocaust. He won high literary awards, made the bestseller lists, taught and lectured in prestigious universities, was feted in high society, and became an intimate of the rich and famous in a jet-set world of glitter and glamour. Then, in an expose that sent shock waves throughout the intellectual community, he was denounced as a C.I.A. tool, a supreme con man, and a literary fraud, igniting a firestorm of controversy that consumed his reputation and culminated in his headline-making suicide. Now this compelling biography cuts to the complex heart of the truth about the man and the myth that was Jerzy Kosinski. In so doing, it unfolds a story of reality and deception as fascinating, as moving, as painfully honest, and as revelatory as the most gripping of novels. With research that extends from the Poland of Kosinki’s birth and early life to scrupulous examinations of every allegation against Kosinski throughout his career, James Park Sloan, who knew Kosinski for twenty years before his death, leaves no stone unturned and no mask intact. The facts of Kosinski’s horrific childhood Holocaust experiences are sorted out from the fictions of The Painted Bird. Sloan traces Kosinski’s years as an emigre student at Columbia; his marriage to an alcoholic American millionairess; his first literary mark with anti-Communist writings; his award-winning novels and the controversy surrounding their authorship; his triumphant climb to success on an increasingly shaky stairway of half-truths; his compulsive sexual adventuring in New York's erotic underground; his relationship with such figures as Norman Mailer, Roman Polanski, Henry Kissinger, and others in the political and cultural limelight; and the Gotterdammerung of his life and reputation when an article in the Village Voice cast all he had done in doubt despite his denials and his circle’s support. A dazzling investigation of the tantalizing mystery of an extraordinary man and the tangled roots of his artistry, enriched by frank and intimate testimonies of Kosinski’s widow, Kiki, his friends and lovers, his editors and “helpers”, his defenders and detractors, Jerzy Kosinski is intriguing biography, equal to its subject.
Download or read book War Games written by James Park Sloan and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wise, dryly humorous, and perfectly conceived novel about a man during the years of the Vietnam War. The protagonist leaves college to enlist in the army and is sent to Southeast Asia. He is a man curiously beset by small cares. He worries about his teeth. Venereal disease may cost him his combat tour, so he endures it in silence. His stoicism rewarded, he is like a passive observer in the mire of Vietnam, in bureaucracy and battle, in the depths of callousness and fear. When sent on a mission at last, he commits the most barbarous (or the most honorable) act possible in the war. War: games? honor? duty? reality? The answers he finds—surprising even to himself—are revealed in a succession of events which force him toward a crisis of decision. His response to the crisis may well be a definitive comment on the modern situation.

Download or read book Keeping Literary Company written by Jerome Klinkowitz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1999-06-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the 1960s, a group of radically new fiction writers began having success at reinventing the novel and short story for postmodern times. Chief among them were Kurt Vonnegut, Jerzy Kosinski, Donald Barthelme, Ronald Sukenick, Raymond Federman, Clarence Major, and Gilbert Sorrentino. Although their work proved puzzling to reviewers and did not fit the conventions familiar to academic critics, these writers found an ally in a young reader named Jerome Klinkowitz. Hired to teach Hawthorne and other nineteenth-century figures, Klinkowitz found his deepest sympathies (and most lifelike affinities) to be with Vonnegut and company instead. Beginning in 1969 he published the first scholarly essays on Vonnegut, Kosinski, Barthelme, and the others in turn. By 1975 he was ready to write Literary Disruptions, a literary history of what he called this "post-contemporary" period. Since then he has written more than thirty books on contemporary fiction and its allied developments in cultural history, art, music, politics, and philosophy. Keeping Literary Company details Klinkowitz's work with these writers—not just researching their fiction and other publications, but introducing them to one another and taking part in the business-world activities that spread news of their innovations. He shows how what they wrote was so much a part of those turbulent times that a new literary generation found itself defined in such works as Slaughterhouse-Five, Being There, and Snow White. Here is a fascinating, first-person account of what these important figures wrote, how they wrote it, and what it means in the development of American fiction.
