Book excerpt: San Francisco’s art world is exhibiting murderous tendencies… Geez, make a splash in the world of art forgery at the age of seventeen and people can’t stop bringing it up. Lesson learned: genuine art is priceless, and forgery gets you arrested. Now Annie puts her artistic talents to honest use as a faux finisher in San Francisco. But carving out a new reputation can be a creative challenge… Modernism isn’t Annie’s thing, but even she is surprised to discover that the “sculpture” in a prestigious gallery’s grisly new exhibition is an all-too-real corpse—the artist’s. Meanwhile, a Chagall painting is stolen from the Brock Museum, and Annie’s old friend Bryan is accused of being in on the fix. To track down the missing Chagall, she’ll need the dubious assistance of a certain sexy art thief. And if Michael—or whatever his real name may be—isn’t distraction enough, Annie’s mother shows up in town, acting strangely. Annie’s got to solve these mysteries, and fast—because art is long, but life can be very, very short.

Download or read book The Trojan War Museum and Other Stories written by Ayse Papatya Bucak and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A debut story collection of spectacular imaginative range and lyricism from a Pushcart Prize–winning author. In Ayse Papatya Bucak’s dreamlike narratives, dead girls recount the effects of an earthquake and a chess-playing automaton falls in love. A student stops eating and no one knows whether her act is personal or political. A Turkish wrestler, a hero in the East, is seen as a brute in the West. The anguish of an Armenian refugee is “performed” at an American fund-raiser. An Ottoman ambassador in Paris amasses a tantalizing collection of erotic art. And in the masterful title story, the Greek god Apollo confronts his personal history and bewails his Homeric reputation as he tries to memorialize, and make sense of, generations of war. A joy and a provocation, Bucak’s stories confront the nature of historical memory with humor and humanity. Surreal and poignant, they examine the tension between myth and history, cultural categories and personal identity, performance and authenticity.

Download or read book Tokyo written by Barbara E. Thornbury and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tokyo: Memory, Imagination, and the City is a collection of eight essays that explore Tokyo urban space from the perspective of memory in works of the imagination—novels, short stories, poetry, essays, and films. Written by scholars of Japanese studies based in England, Germany, Japan, and the United States, the book focuses on texts produced in Japan since the 1980s. The closing years of the Shōwa period (1926-1989) were a watershed decade of spatial transformation in Tokyo. It was also a time (in Japan, as elsewhere) when conversations about the nature of memory—historical, cultural, collective, and individual—intensified. The contributors to the volume share the view that works of the imagination are constitutive elements of how cities are experienced and perceived. Each of the essays responds to the growing interest in studies on Tokyo with a literary-cultural orientation.

Download or read book My Very Last Possession and Other Stories written by Wan-so Pak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of ten short stories by one of Korea's foremost living writers. Pak Wanso is the author of five novels, including The Naked Tree, and of several best-selling volumes of short prose. Her works have sold millions of copies in Korea, where the public and critics alike have applauded Pak as a masterful realist. The literary world of Pak depicts the trials of the Korean War and the subsequent three decades of upheaval during which Korea was transformed from a military dictatorship and an agriculturally based society to an urban industrialized, albeit troubled, democracy. Pak offers a searching woman's perspective on radical changes in Korean family structures and social values, exposing the cruelty and hypocrisy of Korea's Confucian traditions, which have subjugated women for centuries. Her realistic prose also portrays the dehumanizing impacts of the capitalist market order that characterizes Korea today. With rich insight, Pak presents moral ambiguities inherent in Korea's society today and encourages her readers to question the injustices that prevail in the more impersonal and often alienated world emerging in a "globalized" Korea.

I think of the originality of the whole conception and swift pace with which you carry it off. Mark Shorer, writer and critic. THE LIONS SHARE (Avranches Press) Thanks for the gift of THE LIONS SHARE, which Ive read practically in one sitting with considerable admiration. The book is wonderfully readable. Paul Fussell, author of the classical study of war, THE GREAT WAR AND MODERN MEMORY. Thanks for sending me your novel THE LIONS SHARE, which I have now read and enjoyed very much. You have a wonderful way with words and scenes. As Paul Fussel says, the book is wonderfully readable. Stephen E. Ambrose, author of CITIZEN SOLDIERS. I liked your book (THE LIONS SHARE). It rings true. Only someone who was there could have written it. John Toland, author of BATTLE: THE STORY OF THE BULGE. THE BATTLE FOR SNOW MOUNTAIN (Pocol Press) Ive never read a more powerful anti-war novel than THE BATTLE FOR SNOW MOUONTAIN, not that its an anti-war novel in an ideological sense or a political novel. The reader shares the fact that no one knew what was going on, the blinding snowstorms working beautifully. There is the quixotic pair, idealistic and realistic, but again not as symbols, but as real people. John Dizikes, formerly Professor in the American Studies Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz.. TOMS WAR (Avranches Press) The poems (in TOMS WAR) have clarity, force, the feeling of a true and heartfelt report. Robert Pinsky, formerly Poet Laureate. NEW VISTAS (Avranches Press) Many thanks for sending me NEW VISTAS. Ive been reading the poems with great pleasure. Stephen Greenblatt, author of the highly acclaimed book on Shakespeare, WILL IN THE WORLD. I thank you for the your wonderful poems in NEW VISTAS, so vivid and fresh. I read them slowly over several months and very much enjoyed them. Jay Parini, author of the excellent book, ROBERT FROST, THE LIFE.
