Gornick Vivian: The Odd Woman and the
City / B

The Odd Woman and the City

Everything/Nothing/Someone

Tod Papageorge started photographing intensely in New York's Central Park in the late 1970s and continued working there until he moved from the city in the early 1990s. More than ten years later, he edited these pictures into a book which, in its marriage of the sensual and poetic, evokes the prelapsarian Eden suggested by its title.
This re-issue of Passing Through Eden duplicates the first 2007 edition in its entirety, including Papageorge's thoughtful essay on the evolution of his photography and its basis in his early attempts to write poetry. His essay further describes how the first half of the book follows the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis, from the Creation through the (metaphorical) generations that follow Cain, suggesting how, even in the heart of a modern city, we might find echoes of elemental Biblical tales being acted out around us by those drawn into the park and its promise of beauty and peace. This section of Passing Through Eden then leads to a run of pictures confirming that the human comedy is equally alive and well in the park, even as its landscape-delightful and wild-retakes center stage to end the book.

Why I Write

An illuminating reflection on the creative process from acclaimed fiction writer, essayist, and translator Lydia Davis &nbsp; When asked why she writes, Lydia Davis confesses that she’s afraid of the question.&nbsp;Maybe she would rather not know exactly why she writes. Instead, Davis considers how she writes her stories, how other writers write, and what insights the how might provide into the why. &nbsp; In this free-ranging exploration, Davis discovers that one reason she writes is for pleasure: the pleasure of encountering something that demands to be treated in language, of handling and manipulating the language into the form it ought to take, and, finally, of seeing a story exist where it didn’t exist before. As she observes the processes of some of the authors who interest her the most, she finds that there seem to be as many reasons to write as there are writers: to relive an experience, to share an experience, to articulate something one has not quite comprehended. &nbsp; Reflecting on an eclectic mix of thinkers, including James Baldwin, Kate Briggs, Walter Raleigh, Christina Sharpe, Knut Hamsun, Grace Paley, Josep Pla, John Ashbery, and John Clare, Davis undertakes a clear-eyed, penetrating inquiry into the manifold reasons we choose to put pen to paper and begin something new.

Mit 
 Berliner Sachen
 veröffentlichte Uwe Johnson 1975 erstmals einen Band mit Aufsätzen. Hierfür stellte er Texte zusammen, die zwischen 1961 und 1971 entstanden sind und größtenteils schon an anderer Stelle publiziert waren. Die Texte sind zumeist aus tagespolitischem Anlass geschrieben und zeigen Johnson als einen wachen Intellektuellen, der mit seinen journalistischen Recherchen im politischen Geschehen interveniert.
 
 Johnson hat 13 Texte unterschiedlicher Länge und Art sorgfältig zu einem Band arrangiert, der über tagesaktuelle Stellungnahmen hinausreicht. Nicht alle kreisen um Berlin, nicht einmal alle unmittelbar um Deutsch-Deutsches. Aber alle kreisen um die Möglichkeit und Unmöglichkeit des Dialogs und sind auch untereinander als Dialog kenntlich gemacht, zu verstehen als Einladung zum Gespräch über und gegen die Sprachlosigkeit des geteilten Berlin. Johnson bemühte sich, Berlin eine Stimme zu geben.
 
 Das international besetzte Herausgeberteam greift in seinen Erläuterungen und Kommentaren genau diese Eigenheit von Johnsons Zusammenstellung auf: Es ist ein Blick über den deutsch-deutschen Tellerrand hinaus und von überzeitlicher Geltung.

Werkausgabe in 43 Bänden

Der weitgereiste Ralph Gibson arbeitet vor allem in inspirierten Serien, in Schwarzweiß oder Farbe, deren Titel die besondere poetische Sensibilität unterstreichen, die sein Werk prägt: "The Somnambulist", "Déjà-Vu", "Days at Sea", "Chiaroscuro" und "Ich bin die Nacht". Er begann 1960 als Assistent bei Dorothea Lange und ging 1967 nach New York, wo er bald in einem Atemzug mit Larry Clark und Diane Arbus genannt wurde. 
 
 
 Auch wenn seine Fotografien für sich selbst sprechen könnten: Für Gibson steckt hinter jedem Bild, jeder Serie eine Philosophie. In den beigefügten kurzen Texten stellt er uns seine Thesen vor. 
 
 
 Akte, Porträts, Stillleben, Erzählungen: Seiner Leica treubleibend, bewegt sich Gibson zwischen den Genres und schafft neue Kategorien des Sehens. Er nähert sich den Dingen und lichtet sie auf eine fast meditative Weise ab, wie es nur die Stille des Bildes vermag.

Ralph Gibson. 45th Ed

The story of my life would be a bloody sight shorter if the man who tried to murder me outside the Broadway Theatre in Barking on a winter's evening in 1989 had succeeded. He nearly did. Frank Warren has spent forty years working with boxing's most colourful and controversial characters. In his long-awaited autobiography, he reflects on the battles he had to win to reach the top and remain there, not least the battle to stay alive after he was shot at point-blank range in an attempted assassination in 1989. In Frank and Fearless, Warren pulls no punches, taking us behind the scenes into a world of blood and sweat, and intense relationships that all too often end in tears. Under Warren's careful stewardship, Frank Bruno, Naseem Hamed, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan and Tyson Fury all became world champions. So did Terry Marsh, the man who was later accused, and cleared, of trying to murder him. Along the way, Warren has been assaulted in a hotel room by the formidable Mike Tyson and gone toe to toe in a court room with his erstwhile partner, the flamboyant Don King. However, boxing is only part of the story that begins on a council estate in 1950s North London, where Warren first learnt how to stand up to bullies. That was how he overcame and outwitted the powerful cartel that controlled British boxing and tried to stop his career before it started, and it is why he is still around to reflect on his remarkable life. With cameo appearances from Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Pink Floyd and the Philadelphia mafia, Frank and Fearless is the unflinchingly candid and hard-hitting memoir of Britain's most famous and influential boxing promoter.
