Описание: Flann O'Brien & Modernism brings a much-needed refreshment to the state of scholarship on this increasingly recognised but still widely misunderstood 'second generation' modernist. Rather than construe him as a postmodernist, it correctly locates O'Brien's work as the product of a late modernist sensibility and cultural context. Similarly, while there should be no doubt of his Irishness, and his profound debts to Irish language, history and culture, this collection seeks to understand O'Brien's nationally sensitive achievement as the work of an internationalist whose preoccupations reflect global modernist trends. The distinct themes and concerns tracked in Flann O'Brien & Modernism include characterization in branching narrative forms; the ethics and paradoxes of naming; parody and homage; lies and deception; theatricality; sexuality; technology and transport; and the inevitable matter of drink and intoxication. Taken together, these specific topics construct a mosaic image of O'Brien as an exemplary modernist auteur, abreast of all the most salient philosophical and technical concerns affecting literary production in the period immediately before and after World War Two.
Short's Stories is the first in a series recounting the author's life and travels. Ronan Short was born in London, England in 1940 and raised at the British National Institute for Medical Research, where his father was in charge of the research animals.
His early life was full of adventures and encounters. This first volume--Bomb Dropping, Hampstead, North London 1940 -1949--is a humorous and witty account of his childhood in Hampstead, and his family's move to Mill Hill.
Ronan is surprised to be still writing and remembering.
Short's Stories, Ball Dropping, is the third in a series recounting, with more humor and wit, the author's life and travels. Ronan Short was born in London, England in 1940 and brought up at the British National Institute for Medical Research, where his father was in charge of the animal division.
This new volume, Three Years in America, 1963-1966, begins in the 'vast metropolis' of Dobbs Ferry, New York, near Ardsley, where Ronan first worked in the US and covers his jaunts as a young man with new American friends and fellow British ex-pats in Edgewater, NJ and New York City. He then voyages across the US and up the west coast by car, with many adventures, finally arriving in Alaska in August 1966.
