Abstract

After noticing his identity has been stolen and used to create various social media accounts, a man with a troubled past, Paul O'Rourke, begins to wonder if his virtual alter ego is actually a better version of himself. "Paul O'Rourke is a man made of contradictions: he loves the world, but doesn't know how to live in it. He's a Luddite addicted to his iPhone, a dentist with a nicotine habit, a rabid Red Sox fan devastated by their victories, and an atheist not quite willing to let go of God. Then someone begins to impersonate Paul online, and he watches in horror as a website, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account are created in his name. What begins as an outrageous violation of his privacy soon becomes something more soul-frightening: the possibility that the online "Paul" might be a better version of the real thing. As Paul's quest to learn why his identity has been stolen deepens, he is forced to confront his troubled past and his uncertain future in a life disturbingly split between the real and the virtual. At once laugh-out-loud funny about the absurdities of the modern world, and indelibly profound about the eternal questions of the meaning of life, love and truth, To Rise Again At a Decent Hour is a deeply moving and constantly surprising tour de force"--Publisher's web site.

Abstract

Journaliste, homme de théâtre, poète, Adrien Bertrand, né le 4 août 1888 à Nyons dans la Drôme et mort à Grasse le 18 novembre 1917, savait manier la plume. Son premier roman fut un coup de maître. Inspiré par les premiers combats de la Grande Guerre, auxquels l'auteur prit part, L'appel du sol reçu le Prix Goncourt 1914. L'Académie des Dix, contrainte par les événements à réserver ce millésime, couronna l'ouvrage en 1916, année où elle distingua également Le feu d'Henri Barbusse. Sans manquer de décrire la vie des tranchées, Adrien Bertrand fait revivre une guerre de mouvement, celle que mène, au début du conflit, un groupe de chasseurs alpins résistant en Lorraine et dans la Marne à la percée allemande. Les aventures de Vaissette, normalien agrégé de philosophie, sergent promu officier qui périt en héros, sont dignes de celles du Candide de Voltaire. Elles sont marquées par une ironie tragique. Au travers des conversations que mènent les personnages entre deux attaques, elles invitent à une réflexion sur la guerre : pourquoi la fait-on, alors que chacun la déteste ? Comment ces hommes face à l'horreur, et malgré elle, ont-ils tenu ? Hervé Duchêne, professeur à l'Université de Bourgogne, en faisant redécouvrir une personnalité méconnue, invite à ne pas confondre fiction et biographie. Adrien Bertrand s'avance masqué. Il est sous le signe de Janus, divinité romaine de la guerre et figure au double visage. L'homme n'est pas mort des blessures d'un éclat d'obus reçu dans la poitrine, mais de la tuberculose. Pour autant, L'appel du sol n'est-il que le roman d'un imposteur ?

Abstract

"An explosive new voice in fiction emerges from Iraq in this blistering debut by "perhaps the best writer of Arabic fiction alive" (The Guardian) The first major literary work about the Iraq War from an Iraqi perspective, The Corpse Exhibition shows us the war as we have never seen it before. Here is a world not only of soldiers and assassins, hostages and car bombers, refugees and terrorists, but also of madmen and prophets, angels and djinni, sorcerers and spirits. Blending shocking realism with flights of fantasy, Hassan Blasim offers us a pageant of horrors, as haunting as the photos of Abu Ghraib and as difficult to look away from, but shot through with a gallows humor that yields an unflinching comedy of the macabre. Gripping and hallucinatory, this is a new kind of storytelling forged in the crucible of war"--

Abstract

It's the late twenty-first century. Technological, environmental, and social catastrophes have changed the meanings of culture, nature, and landscape forever. But in what remains of the international urban scene, architecture still refuses to admit it hasn't been modern since the early twentieth century. Enter Ickles, Etc.Helming Los Angeles's most misunderstood info-architecture practice is Henries Ickles, “the man without self-concept.” Time and again Ickles offers practical solutions to the most impenetrable theoretical entanglements of art, architecture, and science in the 2090s. In the fifth book in the Critical Spatial Practice series, Mark von Schlegell's fusion of theory and fiction puts the SF back in notions of “speculative aesthetics.” A collection of interconnected comical sci-fi stories written for various exhibitions, Ickles, Etc. explores the future of architectural practice in light of developments in climatology, quasicrystalography, hyper-contemporary art, time travel, and the EGONET. Occupying New Los Angeles, visiting the Danish Expansion, Nieuw Nieuw Amsterdam, and 1970s St. Louis, the practice finds selves embroiled in very spicy mustards indeed, redefining info- architecture and jettisoning the burdensome “self-concept” of the Western tradition in the process. Just don't expect a visit to the ruins of Disney Hall!

Abstract

Here at last is a fully annotated critical edition of the Châteauroux text of the Chanson de Roland. Even in the Corpus edition, C was represented by a simple transcript. The Roland Corpus edition of 2005 took Venice 7 as the base text and V7 laisses 92A and 108A were relegated to Appendix A. This obscured crucial evidence demonstrating the greater authority of C as representing the shared model and the role of V7 as modifier of that model. Close comparison of C with V7 and of both texts with the other versions disproves the Segre thesis of the anteriority of V7. In this edition, the aim is always to provide an authentic text with minimal emendation, so as to show the salient characteristics of C, but to discuss its readings in detailed footnotes. All arguments are solidly based on textual analysis throughout and particularly in C's repetitions and associated assonanced passages. In addition, the linguistic characteristics are studied and the historical background to C pre-1328 and its possible route from Venice to Paris between 1746 and 1792 investigated.
