Mardi, and a Voyage Thither details the traveling of an American sailor who abandons his whaling vessel to explore the South Pacific. The center of the story is a romance between the narrator Taji and Yillah, the mysterious blonde who suddenly appears and disappears. We also follow the voyage of the philosopher Babbalanja and his travel companions through the archipelago of Mardi. Beginning as a travelogue, the adventure story gives way to a romance story, which gives way to a philosophical quest. Herman Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. His writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change. His best known works include Typee, a romantic account of his experiences in Polynesian life, its sequel Omoo, and his novel Moby-Dick.

Download or read book THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B TOKLAS Modern Classics Series written by Gertrude Stein and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gertrude Stein's 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' is a groundbreaking work of literary innovation and experimentation. Written in a unique style that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, Stein recounts the life of her partner, Alice B. Toklas, in a whimsical and abstract manner. The book challenges traditional narrative structures and invites readers to question the nature of autobiographical writing. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century Paris, the book captures the vibrant artistic and intellectual atmosphere of the time. Stein's use of repetition and stream-of-consciousness adds layers of depth to the storytelling, making it a truly intriguing read for those interested in modernist literature. Gertrude Stein, a prominent figure in the modernist literary movement, drew inspiration from her own personal life and relationships to create this unconventional autobiography. As a close confidante of many influential artists and writers, Stein's unique perspective shines through in her writing. Her bold experimentation with language and form challenges readers to think outside the box and reconsider conventional storytelling methods. I highly recommend 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' to readers who appreciate innovative and thought-provoking literature. Stein's avant-garde approach to storytelling makes this book a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of autobiography and narrative fiction.

Book excerpt: Running from 1990 to 1999, the annual OutWrite conference played a pivotal role in shaping LGBTQ literary culture in the United States and its emerging canon. OutWrite provided a space where literary lions who had made their reputations before the gay liberation movement—like Edward Albee, John Rechy, and Samuel R. Delany—could mingle, network, and flirt with a new generation of emerging queer writers like Tony Kushner, Alison Bechdel, and Sarah Schulman. This collection gives readers a taste of this fabulous moment in LGBTQ literary history with twenty-seven of the most memorable speeches from the OutWrite conference, including both keynote addresses and panel presentations. These talks are drawn from a diverse array of contributors, including Allen Ginsberg, Judy Grahn, Essex Hemphill, Patrick Califia, Dorothy Allison, Allan Gurganus, Chrystos, John Preston, Linda Villarosa, Edmund White, and many more. OutWrite offers readers a front-row seat to the passionate debates, nascent identity politics, and provocative ideas that helped animate queer intellectual and literary culture in the 1990s. Covering everything from racial representation to sexual politics, the still-relevant topics in these talks are sure to strike a chord with today’s readers.
