Описание: Mirror Gazing is a book about reading and looking, about what people seek when they read, and about what stares back at them from the printed page. It is an archival project, based on a wealth of material collected daily by celebrated critic Warren F. Motte over thirty-five years and squirreled away for some eventual winter. It is also a love letter, a confession, a tale of deep obsession, and a cry for help addressed to anyone who takes literature seriously. "At heart, this is not just a book about mirror scenes, interesting as they are-- and they are interesting. It's also a look at passion, at collection, at personal taxonomies and the game of creating order from disorder (do we ever win that game?). It's about how we read and why we read. And it's about the Delphic maxim, "Know thyself." Motte explores how characters look for (or suddenly catch) themselves in mirrors, as well as how (or whether) the act of writing is a reflection, distorted or true, of writers themselves."-- Julie Larios, Numero Cinq "I believe (and I'm choosing my words carefully) that this is the most extraordinary book about reading I have ever read" - Jacques Jouet "Wonderfully luminous, entertaining, thought-provoking, and wide-ranging...an essential book" - Gerald Prince "Motte has collected around ten thousand mirror scenes from roughly 1,500 books. This, in and of itself, is noteworthy, but the book is not simply a reprinting of quotes from various books. It is a deeply considered analysis of what it actually means to look into a mirror. For the serious reader, this book will serve as a trip through your reading past. I was reminded--somewhat nostalgically--of much of the literature that has defined the early part of my adult life. From Nabokov to Salinger to Rilke to Calvino, the book makes its way into just about every corner of American and European literature." - Nancy Smith, YourImpossibleVoice
Описание: A Perverse Romance is a satirical tale of artist Hephzibah Brown, who is persuaded by Cedric, the Imp of Perversity, to follow him to the recently independent Ghana, following with the temptation that they will compose a tourist book for him to write and for her to illustrate. She does follow, but knowing his unreliability, she changes it to a book about tourists-one a pragmatist and the other an idealist. And more than this, her tourist will be a woman. The novel becomes an examination of real life being a form of transience. How I use satire: Satire is the uncomfortable life of being disturb but draws to our notice the human capacity of doubling our subjective thinking. This is a philosophical impact, which philosopher Thomas Nagel brought to my attention in mind and cosmos (materialism), "Subtracts from the physical world as its major object is everything mental-consciousness-meaning intention or purpose." It is the absence known but ignored too hard. Subjectivity becomes fictive but remains to challenge through satire.
