Porozumět svědkům


Čtyři eseje soustředěné pod názvem Porozumět svědkům zkoumají, jak se literární dílo proměňuje v estetický objekt v rukou interpreta, jenž osciluje mezi rolí literárního historika a pozorného čtenáře. Kniha vychází z přesvědčení, že pouhé poukazování na kreativní recepci literatury nestačí – klíčová je kvalitní práce s textem zakořeněná v živé kultuře. Úvodní esej Točité schody mapuje podmínky rozvoje bohemistiky a polonistiky po roce 2000 na univerzitních pracovištích v Praze, Hradci Králové a Pardubicích a klade důraz na odpovědnost oboru vůči kulturní praxi. Skrytá stezka se vymezuje proti mechanickému spoléhání na žánrové konvence a aktualizační výklady a vybízí ke zkusmým způsobům četby, které otevírají mnohovrstevnatost literárních významů. Esej Smyčky dějin se zaměřuje na specifika fiktivního času v české a polské literatuře 20. a 21. století a ukazuje, jak hra s kulturní pamětí umožňuje překračovat zažité myšlenkové rámce. Závěrečné Rozsypané stránky zdůrazňují potřebu generační sebekritiky založené jak na racionální argumentaci, tak na empatii vůči druhému. Teprve souběh těchto čtyř hledisek – živé kultury, osobní četby, kulturní paměti a generační sebereflexe – umožňuje porozumět literárnímu svědectví napříč obdobími i zkušenostmi jednotlivce a moderní společnosti.

He runs the family business, and is engaged to Angela Mancini. Marriage is his chance to finally assimilate into local society. His best friend has taken a job with a gambling company in Hawaii. When Jimmie is found murdered on Maui, John is compelled to return to his birthplace to bring his friend’s body home and to reassure Jimmie’s mother that justice will be served.

Plus he is spellbound by Lani, the accused suspect’s beautiful and mesmerizing Hawaiian attorney. Determined to find Jimmie’s killer, he is led into a perilous confrontation with Charles N.

And a mysterious gang of Tongans is pursuing him around the island. But John Rossi is undeterred—Hawaii has become home. Paul Konwiser’s intimate knowledge of Hawaiian culture and lore imbues his novel with credibility and compassion. Island of Shadow and Light sweeps readers into a vivid story of identity, danger, and discovery, where the brilliance of Hawaii’s beauty collides with shadows of greed and violence.

The Darling of the Blackrock Desert: Three novellas set in the West


From the critically acclaimed short fiction writer Laura Newman, whose first collection of stories, PW effused “with candor and wry wit, and memorable details, these stories shimmer,” come three, thematically-liked, quirky yet resonant novellas that together form an unusual and original view of western American life. In The Darling of the Black Rock Desert, Julia loves Howi, but never intends to marry him until she realizes she’s pregnant with few options; it is, after all, 1960. Life becomes more complicated and yet richer when their darling daughter, Nia, is born with a physical disability. Despite her infirmity, Nia manages to have a fairly normal, happy childhood, beloved by her best friend Wynona and their male sidekicks until tragedy strikes and family life comes undone. It’s 1986 in City of Angels when Henri and Simone Bouchard meet in the iconic Los Angeles Central Library. Simone is a college art student, and Lenny is a Viet Nam vet trying to survive extreme PTSD. They strike up an unlikely acquaintance that is interrupted when the great Los Angeles Library fire of 1986 happens, a substantial portion of the books—and their tenuous connection—going up in flames. Will they find one another agai? t's 2006 in The Saints of Death ValleyT, a nun in a San Francisco convent adopts a baby left on the doorstep and in order to raise her must leave the faith. Named Grace, the baby grows up; however, after committing what she fears to be an unforgivable sin, Grace takes her bag of holy cards and hits the road, winding up at the Burning Man Festival and then in Death Valley where she is taken in by a family of pastry chefs and landscapers and tries to reinvent herself in a secular world. Newman’s trio of novellas about desert misfits are by turns probing, incandescent, and like her shorter fiction, riotously funny and are certain to broaden her readership.

Hot or Not


A hilarious send-up of the art world s patriarchy. The history of twentieth century art is filled with men, but one key component has always been missing: Which of these men are boneable? And which are not? Jessica Campbell has created the definitive resource on this very important subject in a hilarious rundown of male artist hotness and notness. From its cheeky scratch-off cover and curator s statement, MFA docent Campbell introduces the masters of the fine art world with an irreverent overview of their practice, only to quickly get to the point on the next page with a HOT or a NOT. Would Campbell kick Cy Twombly out of bed? Probably not. How about Paul Gauguin? Most definitely. A silly but stinging rebuttal of male chauvinism, Jessica Campbell s Hot Or Not is a delightful, cheeky exclamation of female desire and utter lack thereof.

Daybreak Birdsong Always Wakes Him


A haunting reimagining of Billy the Kid—myth, violence, and regret collide in a lyrical coming-of-age story woven with history, legend, and the omnipresence of birds. Daybreak Birdsong Always Wakes Him: The Lives of Billy the Kid by Pamela Ryder is a coming-of-age saga like no other. It reaches beyond the myth of the reckless and romantic rebel, the murdering gunslinger, and the scrappy outlaw. His story is one of survival, mayhem, and regret. Billy is portrayed as a complex and authentic figure. At times he is ruthless, often sympathetic, always clever and engaging. Yet he remains haunted by loneliness as he rides ever closer to the end of his short and violent life. The child of Irish immigrants, Billy came of age amid hardship and lawlessness, forced to navigate a world that offered him little mercy. From his grim childhood in the tenements of New York to the unforgiving deserts of New Mexico, his journey is marked by loss, chaos, and fleeting moments of grace. He was a boy who became an outlaw, forever running from his past toward an inevitable fate. Told through shifting perspectives and enriched by Billy's keen observations of birds, landscapes, and the lives he has taken, the novel unfolds in lyrical, unflinching prose. His fascination with birds, whose freedom stands in stark contrast to his own doomed flight, threads through the narrative. A meditation on myth, mortality, and the stories we tell about ourselves, Daybreak Birdsong Always Wakes Him is a singular reimagining of the American West. It does not flinch from the blood or the beauty of a life lived on the edge of history.
