339309 A: Untitled MJ 339309

Untitled MJ 339309

From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and "master of the short story" (NPR) comes a brilliant new collection. The stories in The Vanishing Point are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa and New England. Each focuses on life's vanishing points-a moment when seemingly all lines running through one's life converge, and one can see no farther, yet must deal with the implications. With the insight, subtlety, and empathy that has long characterized his work, Theroux has written deeply moving stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form. 'The most gifted, most prodigal writer of his generation' Jonathan Raban 'The most exciting contemporary practitioner of a literary tradition honed to elegantly crafted terseness by Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene. A terrific teller of tales and conjurer of exotic locales' Sunday Times

The Vanishing Point

People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere. At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then disaster. In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.

I often hated my brother, but I have to understand his life. The unflinching story of Édouard Louis's brother's violent life and death. 'One of the most important, politically vital and morally bracing writers of his generation' GUARDIAN 'Bracing, pulverising... burns with white-hot truth' COLIN WALSH Édouard's brother spends much of his life dreaming. He lives in a poor, working-class world, where he imagines that he will become one of the finest butchers in France, that he will travel, that he will make his fortune, that he will restore cathedrals, that he will earn his father's love. But his reality allows none of this. There is no way to escape, no one who can show him how, and everything about him - his drinking, his violence, his behaviour with women and with others - condemns him. At thirty-eight he is found dead on the floor of his small studio apartment. This book is the story of his collapse. Translated by TASH AW 'Louis has never been tenderer, more sophisticated, or more fully on form' NAOISE DOLAN 'Spare, raw... Édouard Louis is someone who makes writing matter' NEIL BARTLETT 'Belongs to that vital group of writers, amongst the likes of Cusk, Rankine and Ernaux, who have revitalised and reinvented their own form' ANDREW McMILLAN Praise for Édouard Louis 'I feel so lucky to be living and writing at the same time as Édouard Louis' MAGGIE NELSON 'One of the major writers of our time' GARTH GREENWELL 'Louis is a master of the poetics of juxtaposition, elucidating the hostile and the intimate... the vulnerable and the resilient' YIYUN LI

Collapse

Based on extensive research and original interviews, this intimate biography reveals the complexities of Gandolfini's character, his rise to fame, and his lasting impact on television and film."A riveting look inside the mind of a towering talent, this is a must for&nbsp;Sopranos&nbsp;fans."-Publishers Weekly"A fast-moving, entertaining bio of a Hollywood mensch."-KirkusIn&nbsp;Gandolfini,&nbsp;critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played.Gandolfini's roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn't until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen.Bailey traces his rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos&nbsp;career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience.More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family.

Critical Memory Studies

This open access book proposes slow memory as a new framework for understanding how remembrance operates across time, urging scholars and practitioners to resist the acceleration that characterizes both contemporary scholarship and public memory cultures. The authors explore the theoretical foundations of slow memory in relation to environmental humanities and Indigenous studies, emphasizing themes of deep time, intergenerational justice, and contested memory regimes. The collection focuses on the fields of environment, (de)industrialization, welfare, politics, and conflict to examine how gradual transformations impact the present through remembrance practices at different tempos. It advocates for a deceleration of scholarly and commemorative practices to develop ethical, sustainable, and inclusive engagements with the past. By foregrounding slowness as a conceptual and methodological tool, and slow memory as a "connective concept," this book offers a vital framework for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to rethink the temporalities of remembrance in an era of rapid transformation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA20105 on Slow Memory, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

Eins der großen Tabuthemen bleibt Geld - egal ob man reich oder arm ist. Wer über Geld redet, hat keins? Über Geld spricht man nicht, man hat es? Aber was ist, wenn man mal viel hatte und alles verlor? In seinem berührenden Memoir beschreibt der Journalist Alexander Hurst, wie er innerhalb weniger Monate 1,2 Mio Dollar verdiente und schlagartig wieder verlor. Er zeichnet ein Porträt von unserer spätkapitalistischen Gesellschaft und unserem Verhältnis zu Geld und geht Fragen nach, die uns alle bewegen um Finanzen, Gemeinschaft und was es bedeutet, ein sinnvolles Leben zu führen. Wir leben in Zeiten großer finanzieller Paradoxe: Bildung, Gesundheitsversorgung und geographische Reisefreiheit sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten für immer mehr Menschen zugänglich geworden. Aber anders als die Babyboomer leben Millennials und die Generation Z häufiger von Gehaltscheck zu Gehaltscheck. Das Schulden-Einkommens-Verhältnis steigt, genauso wie die Angst vor Altersarmut. Gleichzeitig schwebt über allem das Versprechen vom großen Aktiengewinn. Die Trading-Apps der letzten Jahre haben Zugangsbeschränkungen egalisiert und das Phänomen der Amateur-Händler hervorgebracht. Die Finanzwelt lädt zum Spiel ein: "passives Einkommen", "sein Geld für sich arbeiten lassen", sind die Traumvorstellung vieler (junger) Leute, die ihre Zeit anders verbringen möchten als im klassischen Nine-to-five-Job. Genauso Alexander Hurst, der im Meme-Stock-Hype 2020 dem großen Geld hinterherjagte und während der Corona-Pandemie ein kurz das Millionärs-Dasein erleben konnte. Doch welche Freiheiten bringt Geld wirklich? Welche Auswirkungen hat es auf Freundschaften, Prioritäten und Werte? Stehen individuelles Streben nach Geld und die Schaffung von Gemeinschaft im Konflikt miteinander? Und wann ist viel genug?Von Hannah Arendt über Thomas Piketty bis hin zu bell hooks lässt Alexander Hurst Philosoph*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen zu Wort kommen und verwebt gekonnt Gesellschaftliches, Politisches und Persönliches. Mit großer Erzählkunst schafft er eine moderne Parabel über Geld - und über uns.

Come and meet Shere Hite—the feminist hero whose notorious work revolutionized how we think about sex, marriage, and the female orgasm... Despite being one of the leading thinkers of the second wave feminist movement, today Shere Hite is little known, little written about, and, unsurprisingly, little read. Her groundbreaking book, The Hite Report, was the first feminist exploration of the link between sex and male power. It sold millions of copies when first published in 1976 and revolutionized the way people thought about marriage and the female orgasm. How, then, did it, and Hite, disappear from public consciousness?&nbsp; Using original research material and sharp cultural analysis, Rosa Campbell explores Hite’s complicated life and literary legacy. Campbell expands on Hite’s ideas about sex — namely, that sex is sexist — and tracks Hite through her fraught childhood, her struggles working in the porn industry, and her eventual cancellation by the far-right Evangelical movement. All the while, Campbell holds Hite and The Hite Report to account for their own failings and absence of intersectionality.&nbsp; In a post-Dobbs, post-MeToo world, this book’s examination of shifting ideological movements is essential to understanding both the current feminist movement, as well as how conservative, reactionary, counter-mobilization efforts can silence even the most successful of women. Contains 8 black and white vintage photos.

A Daughter's Memoir

How to Lose Your Mother

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.
