The TLS Guide to Good Writing

DLAschriften/DLAwritings (ehemals: marbacher schriften. neue folgen)

Who decides what good literature is? And in which spaces are these decisions made in a digitized world?

Literary judgement is the starting point for the evaluation, selection and even canonization of a literary work. In the 18th century, educated citizens exchanged ideas, formed public opinion, and promoted common narratives in debates about literature. Today, criticism is shaped in many diverse public spheres and sub-spheres, operating in an economy regulated by attention and in a globalized book market. What does this mean for the roles of critic, author, and reader?
»Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism« addresses questions relating to the forms, functions, and significance of literary judgement; the conditions and consequences for criticism in the current media landscape; the medialization of criticism as review and its rhetorical and generic effects; the ascription and dissemination of literary value for a growing but&nbsp;diverse global readership; the implications and consequences for writer, critic, and reader of the digitization of criticism.
With contributions by: Amit Chaudhuri, Phillipa Chong, James English, Florencia Garramuño, Richard Jacquemond, Mats Jansson, Christopher Odhiambo Joseph, Rebecka Kärde, Daniel Kehlmann, Zóltan Kulcsár-Szabó, Camille Laurens, B. Venkat Mani, Laura McGrath, Mark McGurl, Ronya Othmann, Irina Prokhorova, Sandra Richter, Lionel Ruffel, Gisèle Sapiro, Zeruya Shalev, Galin Tihanov, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Magnus William-Olsson and Xu Xi.

Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism

A sweeping collection of women's writing on the wandering path, moving across genres, geographies, and centuries. The follow-up to the celebrated Wanderers, Kerri Andrews's Way Makers is the first anthology of women's writing about walking. Moving from Elizabeth Carter's correspondence with Catherine Talbot in the eighteenth century through to Merryn Glover in the present day, and across poetry, letters, diaries, novels, and more, this anthology traces a long tradition of women's walking literature. Walking is, for the women included in this anthology, a source of creativity and comfort; it is a means of expressing grief, longing, and desire. It is also a complicated activity: it represents freedom but is also sometimes tinged with danger and fear. What cannot be denied any longer is that walking was, and continues to be, an activity full of physical and emotional significance for women: this anthology is a testament to the rich literary heritage created by generations of women walker-writers over the centuries.

New Essays on Oscar Wilde's Classic Novel

The Picture of Dorian Gray in the Twenty-First Century

Angesichts einer Welt, die in Tyrannei und neuem Autoritarismus zu versinken droht, heißt die Kunst der Stunde Widerstand. Dabei gilt es, der Versuchung zu trotzen, eine komplexe Welt in lächerliche Eindeutigkeiten aufzulösen, und die Falle übergroßer Gemäßigtheit zu vermeiden.
Radikal in Ambition, vernünftig in Stil und Ton, gewinnend und den Menschen zugewandt - diese Richtschnur zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die preisgekrönten Essays von Robert Misik.
Mit Verve setzt sich der Autor zwischen alle Stühle. Misik stemmt sich gegen die 'Zerstörung der Vernunft' durch den neuen Faschismus und nimmt zugleich manche Verrücktheiten der heutigen Linken aufs Korn. Die politischen Verwüstungen unserer Zeit beschreibt er mit kulturellem Tiefgang, so wie er die politische Radikalität von Künstlern wie Annie Ernaux, Franz Kafka, Pier Paolo Pasolini oder George Orwell für unsere Zeit freilegt.

Von Marx bis Kafka, von Orwell bis Butler

Ein Raumschiff strandet auf einem fernen Planeten, buchstäblich am Ende des Universums. Die kleine Gruppe von Frauen und Männern findet sich in einer lebensfeindlichen Einöde wieder und muss versuchen, auch nur die ersten Tage gemeinsam zu überstehen. Als die Männer stattdessen hochfliegende Pläne schmieden, wie diese Welt zu 'kolonisieren' sei, kommt es zur Katastrophe ... 
Mit ihrem erstmals 1976 erschienenen Roman "Wir, die wir sehr bald ..." verfasste Joanna Russ die definitive Antithese zu den Werken ihrer männlichen Kollegen: Hier tragen keine strahlenden Helden die Zivilisation in die Weiten des Weltraums hinaus. Hier stellt sich eine Frau den existenziellen Fragen des Daseins. Bis zur letzten Konsequenz. // Der abschließende Band unserer Russ-Werkausgabe enthält außerdem zwei längere Erzählungen, eine Folge repräsentativer Buchkritiken und einen Essay aus der dritten Schaffensphase der Autorin.

Jenseits der Grenzen

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.

The Book That Taught the World to Orgasm and Then Disappeared

Going behind the scenes with a veteran member of the White House press corpsSteven L Herman, chief national correspondent for the nonpartisan, government-funded Voice of America (VOA), weaves together memoir and history to pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the White House press corps, giving readers a rare glimpse into the historic and current relationship between the president and the press.Herman traces the trajectory of his career as a journalist—from learning to be skeptical of government officials’ statements when he worked as a novice reporter covering nuclear testing in Nevada in the 1970s to understanding the power of on-the-ground social media coverage after the Fukushima disaster in 2011 and facing the challenges of covering the Trump administration. He reflects on the experience of reporting on a president who once called journalists “enemies of the people”—and indeed, former president Trump singled out VOA, accusing the organization of being not a voice of America but rather a voice supporting Moscow’s and Beijing’s interests. Under questionable circumstances, top VOA executives lost their security clearances, and a dossier was prepared on Herman in an effort to remove him as White House bureau chief. With journalistic independence under threat, Herman feared not only for his career but also for “the soul of Voice of America.”Throughout Behind the White House Curtain, Herman convincingly argues that public access to accurate, unbiased information is essential to a healthy and peaceful democracy, and that journalists can and should play a key role in pressing government officials to be truthful and transparent. At a time when misinformation is rampant and the need for unbiased coverage of current events is more urgent than ever, Herman reminds readers that freedom of the press is a foundational American right.

Skills for Scholars

A playful and irreverent argument for--and practical guide to--writing in a rich and extraordinary style When it comes to literary style, the commonplace wisdom of composition classrooms, newsrooms, and editorial offices has long been that less is more. Students are taught that the best prose is that which eschews ornamentation and rhetorical flourish. But what if sometimes more is more? In Praise of Purple Prose playfully and cheekily contests a century worth of convention that rejects the baroque and byzantine as "purple prose," making the case that fun and joy in language can be as important as concision and comprehension. Part style guide and part manifesto, the book rewrites the rules on writing. Ed Simon encourages writers to embrace the extraordinary, to call upon the classical rhetorical devices, and to relish in the richness of description and the erudition of allusion. He demonstrates that serpentine syntax, eccentric diction, and idiosyncratic punctuation, when used judiciously, can express the complexity of experience, bring out the pleasures of language, and help readers develop a unique voice in a world where AI threatens to make everyone sound alike. To illustrate its arguments, the book features examples of extraordinary prose from dozens of writers, including John Donne, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, Marilynne Robison, and Zadie Smith. Playful and provocative, In Praise of Purple Prose will leave readers with a new appreciation for fancy prose and inspire writers to draw on all of the liveliest and most powerful resources of English in their work.

In Praise of Purple Prose

Penguin Modern Classics

'These stories are waves of fury, desire and delicious cruelty, always kissed by beauty and death' Mariana Enríquez A new selection of lyrically haunting 1960s short stories, from a Japanese literary iconA writer is seized by apocalyptic visions, a trio of beatniks dance to modern jazz in the ruins of an abandoned church, and a séance brings forth the reproachful spirits of the military dead. In Voices of the Fallen Heroes, stark autobiography contrasts with pure horror, and the tenderness of first love cedes to obsession, heartbreak and deathly beauty. In one tale, Mishima recounts the true story of the time a deranged fan broke into his home at dawn. Elsewhere, a beautiful youth achieves eternal life through violent murder, and an ill-matched couple seal their fate with a pack of cards, tangled in the web of time and unfulfilled desire. Available in English for the first time, and carefully selected by expert translators, these captivating stories are the perfect introduction to Mishima's work, on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
