Download or read book Antonello s Lion written by Steve Katz and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In his first novel since Swanny's Ways, Steve Katz takes another look at the failure of Humanism in the West, through the lens of the great Sicilian master, Antonello da Messina. A father and son, who have never met, both set out on quests for meaning in their lives. The father is obsessed with Antonello, and convinced he can find what he thinks is a lost painting of St. Francis. He gets lost on the way, and disappears. The son becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to the father, and his discoveries are more than he can absorb. This is a double picaresque that takes turns through fantasy, sexual follies, and wild historical and philosophical speculations. The frail positionings of order in art are played against the background of contemporary chaos."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Arcanum 17 written by André Breton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered radical at the time, Breton's ideas today seem almost prescient, yet breathtaking in their passionate underlying belief in the indestructibility of life and the freedom of the human spirit. Breton wrote Arcanum 17 during a trip to the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec in the months after D-Day in 1944, when the allied troops were liberating Occupied Europe. Using the huge Perce Rock - its impermanence, its slow-motion crumbling, its singular beauty - as his central metaphor, Breton considers issues of love, loss, aggression, war, pacifism and feminism.
Download or read book Charlie P written by Richard Kalich and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Charlie P author Richard Kalich offers us a singularly unique, comic and outlandish Everyman. A looney-tune figure of the American manchild - the kind of eternally adolescent men one sees on any American street corner - who, in his episodic adventures through life, loses his penis, is completely dismembered, suffocated, starved and cut in half, yet continues to come back for more. At age three, when his father dies, he decides to overcome mortality by becoming immortal. By not living his life he will live forever. Whether he's persuing the girl of his dreams, or a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Charlie P ends up with no more than a peck on the cheek or robbed blind. Even when dead and called to Heaven for an accounting, he remains the eternal optimist. Now that he's dead and gone, he finally has a real chance at achieving his ends. He can start over. Having never lived his life, his life has not yet hardly begun. Akin to other great American icons such as Sinclair Lewis's Babbitt, Ring Lardner's Al, and Forrest Gump, Charlie P plumbs the relation between fantasy and reality to offer us a character both asocial and alienated and, at the same time, at the heart of the American Dream."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Although best known for his fiction - including novels such as Little Casinos and Gold Fools - Sorrentino is also a distinguished poet. This volume reprints his Selected Poems 1958-1980 and includes 27 new poems and poem sequences published since 1980. Sorrentino's poetry is at once beautifully imagistic and filled with the magic of startling language. His works are precise and yet dazzlingly abstract; some use, to great effect, Oulipian devices. Satiric landscapes are alternated with brilliant recastings of older forms.
