Download or read book The Lover s Progress written by David Solway and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2001 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1733 and 1735 William Hogarth produced a series of paintings and engravings under the title of "A Rake's Progress" which became perhaps his best known and most admired work. In this sequence he told a story of a young parvenu who, having inherited a fortune, resolves to emulate the stereotypical profligate and arranges his life according to the standard formula. When the dust settles we are left with a cautionary tale curiously neutralized, to some extent, by an extraordinary profusion of choreographic detail and an astonishing technical virtuosity, compelling delight and approval (or possibly resistance) in the aesthetic rather than the moral dimension. Motivated by Hogarth's example, David Solway tells the story of a representative figure, a lover, of our own anarchic era which is in some ways very similar to the dissolute and ostentatious period the painter anatomized. Solway has equipped the lover with a sketchy CV: he is an inveterate traveller -- or perhaps cruiser' is a better word -- and diarist with an introspective bent, but he is also a confirmed voluptuary prone to distraction and not without a streak of coarseness in his nature. Illustrations detailing critical moments in the lover's career have been contributed by renowned Montr?al artist Marion Wagschal.

Download or read book Director s Cut written by David Solway and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2003 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solway argues in this feisty and polemical book that the time has arrived to take stock and engage passionately with our literature, and especially our poetry, if it is ever to be rescued from the swamp of second-ratedness into which it has descended. He contends that almost all of the poetry (and much of the fiction) being written in Canada these days is turgid, spurious and pedestrian, the result of two highly questionable developments: the proliferation of Creative Writing departments in universities throughout the country, and a largely subsidized literature industry, abetted by a press of cousinly critics and reviewers, intended to construct a patchwork national psyche, create a sense of ideological cohesion and glorify the tribe. In consequence of this we have sponsored a coterie of underachieving overproducers and proceeded to collude in their diffusion by virtue of our silent complicity or our chauvinism. Solway believes that we are on the whole far too nice, far too politically correct and, in a word, far too `Canadian', to register our disapproval bluntly and agonistically. The last thing we want to do is offend anyone. But all that such manoeuvres ensure is that nothing changes while conscience is appeased. There comes a time when diffidence and affability, those specifically Canadian virtues, work against our best interests and prevent the candid and occasionally brutal assessments without which the critical stupor and aesthetic fog so congenial to us must remain destructively in place. In Director's Cut,Solway attempts to dispel that fog, to see clearly and to speak directly to a readership that has been far too receptive of questionable work.

Download or read book The Big Lie written by David Solway and published by Lester, Mason & Begg. This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprises two lengthy essays explicating Solway's response to the attacks of 9/11, which caused him to reassess his dogmatic left-liberal, anti-American, and anti-Zionist worldview. The first essay reflects on the threat posed to Western civilization by a militant Islam - a theologically-inspired terrorist movement, and on the ideological capitulation of the liberal and democratic West vis-à-vis this threat. The second essay, "On Being a Jew" (pp. 89-244), discusses the meaning of Judaism, the complex nature of Islam, the demonology of antisemitism as directed against the Jewish diaspora - in Europe especially - and the Jewish state, and the Middle East conflict. Warns that terror and antisemitism are intimately related, and the weakness of the West's response to the former and the waxing strength of the latter are indicators that we are living in a faltering society. Muslim hostility toward the Jews and Israel is centuries-old, and not simply a reaction to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. The real conflict in the Middle East is not over borders or Palestinian self-determination, but over the right of the Jewish people to exercise its sovereignty in its ancestral homeland. Deplores the fact that not only has the Islamic world adopted Western antisemitism, but the West is also adopting Islamic-style antisemitism disguised as anti-Zionism, and is blind to the danger it poses to everything the West stands for.
