Описание: `Fiercely intelligent, very funny and unlike anything else I`ve ever read` MARK HADDON`Original...witty...playful...a wonderfully funny book` JAMES WOOD`A triumph - a genuinely new story, a genuinely new form` A. Let loose on London, Ludo sets out on a secret quest to find the last samurai - the father he never knew.
Описание: If you're looking for a hardboiled detective in the mold of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade, Dick DeWitt is not your hero. He's not very bright, oozes insensitivity, lacks class, and epitomizes what we now recognize as political incorrectness. A Tinseltown starlet wannabe needs help: she has become involved with two sleazes, a fast-talking lecherous movie agent and a mean, corrupt cop. She's kept two little black books that could ruin the men, and that's why she needs an intelligent, tough-as-nails guy to protect her. She doesn't find one, but settles for DeWitt. His loyalties walk both sides of the proverbial street, But Dick is dogged in his determination to get the job done. With the help of some friends and some luck - make that a lot of luck - he just might succeed.

Описание:
Two priceless paintings. Two million euros. A civil war. What could go wrong?
The DeWitt Agency assigned disgraced ex-cop Carson a simple job: carry two briefcases of cash to swap for two artworks stolen from a German museum. Except nothing's simple in the Donbass, the breakaway Ukrainian region overrun by militias, warlords, and bandits.
After a brutal zrada - betrayal - Carson finds herself alone and hunted forty miles behind the front lines with half the money, one of the paintings, and a huge target hung on her back. The militia behind the exchange thinks she blew up their deal and wants the money and her hide. Her co-workers were in on the double-cross. And the Agency can't send help into the hottest war in Europe.
Carson's never been one to wait to be rescued. She hires Galina - a tough local with a harrowing past and a taste for revenge - to help her cut through every checkpoint, freelance army, crooked cop, and firefight between her and the West. But the road to safety is long and poorly paved. A vengeful militia commander, a Russian special-forces operator with an agenda, and her own ex-colleagues have Carson in their crosshairs.
Carson's life is now worth less than a suitcase of money or paint on a plank...but if they want to take it from her, she's going to make them pay.

Описание:
In By a Lake Near a Moon: Fishing with the Chinese Masters, a collection of 114 poems-variations based on Kenneth Rexroth's translation, 100 Poems from the Chinese (New Directions, 1971)-poet DeWitt Clinton places the poems in a contemporary landscape of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with lyrical scenes of the changes of seasons, the Lake Michigan beach front, bridges across the Milwaukee rivers, and roads and highways of the nearby countryside. While the themes of the classical Chinese poets (8th-13th Centuries)-Tu Fu, Meo Yao Ch'en, Ou Yang Hsiu, Su Tung Po, The Poetess Li Ch'ing Chao, Lu Yu, Chu Hsi, and Hsu Chao-remain the same, these adaptations bring life and energy from Classical China to the modern-day world with the changes in the landscape and temperament of the Chinese poets retold by a respected contemporary American Midwest poet.
Paperback 6 X 9 inches 144 pages including front and back matter.
Situated in the tradition of poetic improvisation, Clinton's work engages the Classical Chinese Masters within the dimensions of present experience. Lucid and hewn, poignant and fragile, his is a poetry of contemplation and searching. By a Lake Near a Moon sings as a collection of open-hearted grace. -John Swain, Ring the Sycamore Sky, Under the Mountain Born
DeWitt Clinton's marvelous new collection conducts a quirky, surprise-filled conversation with nine ancient Chinese poets, as translated by Kenneth Rexroth. As host of this unlikely party, Clinton riffs directly and indirectly on these classic lyrics and their timeless themes, here transplanted to 21st Century Wisconsin. The poems brim with sharp observation, deep feeling, and gracefully understated wisdom. Like their precursors, they are place- and season-haunted, alert to social and natural flux, and ultimately life-affirming. The book is hard to describe but very easy to love.
-David Graham, Stutter Monk and Second Wind
DeWitt Clinton's marvelous adaptations of Kenneth Rexroth's Chinese translations are remarkable. They preserve the serenity, lucidity and directness of great Chinese poetry while transforming its setting into the environs of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and even Europe. The speaking voice feels like that of the originals, while making its surroundings feel remade.
-John Koethe, Walking Backward: Poems 1966-2016
From the moment I opened this radiant collection, I was entranced by the intimacy, candor, and scope of Clinton's voice. "How much time do we really have with one another?" he asks in one poem, describing the "quiet task of digging / Through what I already know." Alternately tender and searching, poignant and wry, these beautifully lyrical poems create a compelling portrait of the poet's daily life as writer, husband, teacher, runner, yogi, Viet Nam war veteran, and, most important, seeker and seer. Deceptively simple in their language and architecture, these are poems that leave us "deeply grateful to be here." While inspired by Rexroth's One Hundred Poems from the Chinese, Clinton's poems are completely fresh and original, and luminous as the moon and lake in the book's title. DeWitt Clinton is the contemporary American equivalent to the Chinese sages. This is a stunning accomplishment.
-Alison Townsend, The Persistence of Rivers, and Persephone in America
