"MAYBE THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS ARE ONTO SOMETHING. "What if fluoride is a sinister plot to alter our minds? What if there s an extensive network of tunnels running under the United States? And what really happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?
In "The Man from Primrose Lane," James Renner fused time-travel adventures with serial-killer thrillers, producing what the "Huffington Post "called a superbly crazy and imaginative story. Now, in "The Great" "Forgetting," he blends science fiction and conspiracy thrillers with a touch of pure fantasy, and the result is just as crazy and imaginative.
Jack Felter, a history teacher, returns home to bucolic Franklin Mills, Ohio, to care for his father, a retired pilot who suffers from dementia and is quickly losing his memory. Jack would love to forget about Franklin Mills, and about Sam, the girl he fell in love with, who ran off with his best friend, Tony. Except Tony has gone missing.
Soon Jack is pulled into the search for Tony, but the only one who seems to know anything is Tony s last patient as a psychologist, a paranoid boy named Cole. Jack must team up with Cole to follow Tony s trail and maybe save the world. Their journey will lead them to Manhattan, then to secret facilities buried under the Catskills, and eventually to a forgotten island in the Pacific the final destination of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
When Jack learns the details about the program known as the Great Forgetting, he s faced with a timeless question: Is it better to forget our greatest mistakes or to remember, so that they are never repeated?"
As seen on the Oxygen mini-series The Disappearance of Maura Murray
When an eleven-year-old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession led James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of a complicated case that has eluded authorities for more than a decade and a journalist's own complicated true-crime addiction.
Описание: Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 2,0, Eberhard-Karls-Universitдt Tьbingen (Seminar fьr Englische Philologie), Veranstaltung: Zulassungsarbeit Staatsexamen (Lehramt Gymnasien), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The notion that the colonial experiences at the Heart of Africa a void which would seem to penetrate every level of existence, from the biological to the metaphysical, is hardly foreign to him [Coetzee]. (Watson 1986: 371) Um diese koloniale Erfahrung, die den Kolonisatoren und den Kolonisierten durch und durch durchdringen, sowohl psychisch als auch physisch, geht es in J.M. Coetzees Romanen. In den drei zu besprechenden Romanen Coetzees Waiting for the Barbarians, Foe und Disgrace zeigt sich, dass sich die Kolonialismuspolitik und die damit einhergehende, implizite Kritik sich gleich einem roten Faden durch seine Fiktion zieht. Coetzee ist "a white South African writer engaged with the legacy of colonialism" (Head 1997: iii). In seinen Romanen bezieht Coetzee zwar keine explizite Stellung zur sьdafrikanischen Situation oder zur weltweiten postkolonialen Situation, aber trotz seiner apolitischen Haltung kцnnen die Texte als Deutungen des Kolonialismus gelesen werden, die dadurch weitreichender sind als die herkцmmlichen Stellungnahmen politisch engagierter Schriftsteller. So ist bei Coetzee "the actual critique of colonialism [...] hardly conventional" (Watson 1986: 371). Ziel der Arbeit ist, den Kompromiss im Grauen und die Differenzierung der Kolonialismus-kritik in J.M. Coetzees Romanen Waiting for the Barbarians (1980), Foe (1986) und Disgrace (1999) aufzuzeigen. Hierbei soll wie folgt vorgegangen werden. I. bis IV. bilden den theoretischen Teil als thematischen Kontext der Romane. (...)
