In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing


In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing is a fragmented odyssey of artistic survival and longing. Reconstructed through hand-drawn illustrations, artefacts and photographs, cult performance and autobiography, it traces the journey through the everyday theatre of Kim Noble's life. As his art world escapades spiral from a gallery in Helsinki to hardware stores in London and a desolate English beach, romance fizzes and reality unravels. Here, fantasy and fact tangle in hand-drawn chaos, and the book itself becomes an artefact-proof of an unreal real life. At once absurd and touching, Kim Noble's journey is less a memoir and more a treasure hunt through the weird tides of love, loneliness, and the art of staying afloat. And in the margins of the page lurks a sardonic cephalopod, who crumples the story with inky interruptions and astute commentary on the unfolding adventures.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1960-1967


The second in a major two-part anthology uncovering the rich reality of life for queer men in London, from the end of the Second World War to decriminalization in 1967 In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated. Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalization. This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

Simpsonovi: Komiksové safari


Springfieldu hrozí potopa, a zatímco Flanders staví archu, Líza svolá partu k opravě vetché hráze; ale proč dělá Homer přesčasy jako blázen? A proč zakládá pštrosí farmu, když před prací kolem domu obvykle strká hlavu do písku? Ani Bart se, jak známo, na zahradě nepředře, ale jakmile začne dojit kačky z travní sekačky, brzy padne kosa na kámen. Sekáč býval kdysi i děda Simpson, ale dnes by jeho historky umořily vola, natož Homera. Když však Abe najde vděčné posluchače a adoptivní rodinu u Flandersů, má jeho pravý syn moře starostí s tím, jak ho získat zpět. Moře a dávné křivdy a hoře hrají hlavní roli i v napínavé bitvě dvou starých mořských vlků, kteří si to ovšem nerozdají šavlemi, nýbrž vařečkami. Vařit se bude i v řízném příběhu plném hořkosti a nakvašenosti, když Homer vypění poté, co se jeho svět otřese v základech: Duff již nechutná jako dřív! Je jen na Homerovi, aby vyčistil ten Augiášův chlív.

Dopisy z Bihoru


Mladý maďarský kaplan přichází koncem 19. století na faru v Nové Huti. Přichází na jaře z kvetoucí nížiny a stoupaje s vozem po nekonečné klikaté cestě nachází v kopcích krajinu dosud sevřenou sněhem, bičovanou ledovými větry. Ocitne se mezi uctivě odtažitými, roztomile primitivními Slováky, kterým nerozumí jediného slova: nepraktický intelektuál z města si přišel odbýt své vyhnanství, v němž je k zoufalství stejně blízko jako k žertu s některou z mála spřízněných duší. Maďarský román v dopisech z roku 1897 v moderním překladu Adély Gálové je nejstarším souvislým vyprávěním o slovenské krajině Nové Huti (?inteu) v dnešním rumunském Bihoru a o jejích obyvatelích – Slovácích, Maďarech, Židech a dalších. Adéla Gálová za překlad získala tvůrčí ocenění Obce překladatelů za rok 2020. #Bihor #Slováci v Rumunsku #cestopis
