From an eerily real , almost holographic evocation of Lyndon B. Johnson, to over-televised game-show hosts and late-night comedians, to the title story, where terminal punk nihilism meets Young Republicanism, Wallace renders the incredible comprehensible, the bizarre normal, the absurd hilarious, the familiar strange.

Svůj poslední soubor povídek Zapomnění psal David Foster Wallace paralelně s již nedokončeným románem Bledý král. Kniha vyšla roku 2004. Témata osobní identity a možností porozumění i sebeporozumění se ve Wallaceových textech prolínají s nejsoučasnějšími technikami ovlivňování a vnější prezentace a kladou - nevyslovenou, snad i nevyslovitelnou? - otázku, na co jsme vlastně zapomněli. David Foster Wallace (1962-2008) patřil k nejoriginálnějším anglicky píšícím autorům přelomu tisíciletí. Proslul především románem Nekonečný žert z roku 1996. Prvním českým překladem byly Krátké rozhovory s odpornými muži, které Rubato vydalo v roce 2018.

V Krátkých rozhovorech s odpornými muži (1999) podává David Foster Wallace zprávu o lidských bytostech zasažených úzkostí, nejistotou a osamoceností. Formálně rozmanitý soubor povídek je jakousi verbální anatomií vztahu mezi pohlavími, výpravou do světa myslí a těl prozacového národa . Titulní cyklus, který prorůstá celou knihou, má podobu přepisu rozhovorů s 18 muži, jejichž promluvy jsou formovány nepřítomností tázající osoby. Strach mužů z ženských soudů tu ústí v egománii, mizogynii a objektivizaci svého protějšku. Wallacovy prozaické útvary jsou obydleny personalizovanými postoji, s nimiž by se málokdo chtěl identifikovat, které se ale mnohým budou zdát až znepokojivě povědomé. Mluví tu přízraky, nebo skutečné osoby v nás?

How are David Lynchâ ™s films as much in dialogue with literary and musical traditions as they are cinematic ones? By interrogating this question, David Lynchâ ™s American Dreamscape broadens the interpretive horizons of Lynchâ ™s filmography, calling for a new approach to Lynchâ ™s films that goes beyond cinema and visual art to explore how Lynchâ ™s work engages with literary and musical works that have shaped the American imagination. As much as Lynch stands as a singular artistic voice, his work arises from and taps into the cultural zeitgeist in a way that illuminates not only his approach to creativity but also the way works interact with each other in an age of mass media. From childrenâ ™s literature to teen tragedy ballads, Nathanael West and Cormac McCarthy to folk music and mixtapes, David Lynchâ ™s American Dreamscape investigates the cultural frequencies Lynchâ ™s films tune into and positions Lynchâ ™s work as a conduit for American popular culture, a medium or channel through which the subconscious of American life finds its way into full view.The book expands upon this approach by discussing how artists such as David Foster Wallace and Lana Del Rey graft Lynchâ ™s affiliative, cinematic sensibility onto their own projects. Reading their work as intertextual engagements with Lynchâ ™s films further illustrates the versatile interactions among creators and audiences to generate more works, readers, and readings.

A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024A century ago, a Labour government took power for the first time. Meet the Wild Men who led the way... Superb -- New Statesman Fascinating -- The Sunday Times.In 1923, the passing of the Act which gave all men the vote opened the door for a radically different sort of government: men from working-class backgrounds who had never before occupied the corridors of power at Westminster. Who were these â ˜wild menâ ™? Ramsay MacDonald, their leader and Labourâ ™s first Prime Minster, was the illegitimate son of a Scottish farm labourer; Arthur Henderson was a Scottish iron moulder; J. H. Thomas, a Welsh railwayman; John Wheatley, an Irish-born miner and publican; and William Adamson, a Fife coal miner.The Wild Men - this new edition with a fully updated preface - tells the story of that first Labour administration â “ its unexpected birth, fraught existence, and controversial downfall â “ through the eyes of those who found themselves in the House of Commons, running the country for the people. Blending biography and history into a compelling narrative, David Torrance reassesses the UKâ ™s first Labour government a century after it shook up a British establishment still reeling from the War â “ and how the establishment eventually fought back.This is an extraordinary period in British political history which echoes down the years to our current politics and laid the foundations for the Britain of today.

Rich in technically authoritative accounts of individual missions, David Priceâ ™s atmospheric narrative interweaves individual stories with events in the wider war as the Allies closed in on Germany from the summer of 1944.For those fans of the Mosquito aircraft recently described by Rowland White, Mosquito Men will add the human element to this iconic plane.

With a new introduction by Wallace Shawn, a classic work of war reportage that describes, with unblinking vision, the systematic leveling of a Vietnamese village by American troops.In January 1967, as President Lyndon Johnson sent more forces to the war in Vietnam, the US military began what was to be the largest ground operation of the entire conflict. Not far from Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, and close to the Cambodian border was an area known as the Iron Triangle, long under Viet Cong control. Operation Cedar Falls set out to eliminate that guerrilla threat by sealing off the region, emptying its villages, and leveling the surrounding jungle. The local population would be transferred to model New Life Villages under US surveillance.The village of Ben Suc was the Americans first target, and Jonathan Schell, a reporter at the start of his career, accompanied them there. He witnessed the destruction of the village; the frantic efforts of young soldiers to figure out who was or wasn t a foe; the destruction of people s homes and possessions; and the chaotic transfer of women, children, old men, and livestock to a refugee camp where no preparations had been made for their arrival. He described it all in measured tones and unflinching detail. As a cautionary tale about the unintended and devastating consequences of military occupation, The Village of Ben Suc remains unequaled. Schell s book might have been the crystal ball that could have led American policymakers to realize that quasi-imperial American interventions of this type could not succeed in the contemporary world, and if the policymakers had read Schell s book and studied it carefully, who knows, maybe a million or more Vietnamese lives could have been saved, along with the lives of fifty thousand American soldiers, along with countless lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. —From Wallace Shawn s Introduction.

Donald Judd Interviews presents sixty interviews with the artist over the course of four decades, and is the first compilation of its kind. It is the companion volume to the critically acclaimed and bestselling Donald Judd Writings.This collection of interviews engages a diverse range of topics, from philosophy and politics to Judd’s insightful critiques of his own work and the work of others such as Mark di Suvero, Edward Hopper, Yayoi Kusama, Barnett Newman, and Jackson Pollock. The opening discussion of the volume between Judd, Dan Flavin, and Frank Stella provides the foundation for many of the succeeding conversations, focusing on the nature and material conditions of the new art developing in the 1960s. The publication also gathers a substantial body of unpublished material across a range of mediums including extensive interviews with art historians Lucy R. Lippard and Barbara Rose. Judd’s contributions in interviews, panels, and extemporaneous conversations are marked by his forthright manner and rigorous thinking, whether in dialogue with art critics, art historians, or his contemporaries. In one of the last interviews, he observed, “Generally expensive art is in expensive, chic circumstances; it’s a falsification. The society is basically not interested in art. And most people who are artists do that because they like the work; they like to do that [make art]. Art has an integrity of its own and a purpose of its own, and it’s not to serve the society. That’s been tried now, in the Soviet Union and lots of places, and it doesn’t work. The only role I can think of, in a very general way, for the artist is that they tend to shake up the society a little bit just by their existence, in which case it helps undermine the general political stagnation and, perhaps by providing a little freedom, supports science, which requires freedom. If the artist isn’t free, you won’t have any art.” Donald Judd Interviews is co-published by Judd Foundation and David Zwirner Books. The interviews expand upon the artist’s thinking present in Donald Judd Writings (Judd Foundation/David Zwirner Books, 2016).

The result is a debut worth waiting for: formally adept, beautifully achieved poems that exist outside of the fluctuations of fashion, unabashedly serious, learned, and well crafted.â ™ â ” from the afterword by A. E. Stallings

The deaths of a series of young Eastern European women in Glasgow leads to a stately home in the Scottish countryside, and back to the Second World War, where a group of young soldiers made their own, shocking rules… Saltire Prize shortlisted author David F. Ross returns with an extraordinary, dark mystery – first in a new series. ‘A thoroughly researched and well imagined historical mystery with echoes of David Peace’ Guardian ‘A novel of real ambition and verve … ranges from wartime Italy to sixties Glasgow to explore the past’s dark hold upon the present. Harrowing and compelling in equal measure, this is David F. Ross at the top of his game’ Liam McIlvanney ‘A masterpiece from one of Glasgow’s finest authors … epic in scale but told through the deeply personal accounts of its luckless, damaged characters. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor’ Callum McSorley ‘Righteous anger drives us through the narrative at a ferocious rate … All of Ross’s novels so far have been accomplished works, but The Weekenders is certainly one of the most compelling, with the dynamism of a thriller and the power of a stirring sermon’ Herald Scotland __________ Glasgow, 1966: Stevie ‘Minto’ Milloy, former star footballer-turned-rookie reporter, finds himself trailing the story of a young Eastern European student whose body has been found on remote moorland outside the city. How did she get there from her hostel at the Sovereign Grace Mission, and why does Stevie find obstacles at every turn? Italy, 1943: As the Allies fight Mussolini’s troops, a group of young soldiers are separated from their platoon, and Glaswegian Jamesie Campbell, his newfound friend Michael McTavish at his side, finds himself free to make his own rules… Glasgow, 1969: Courtroom sketch artist Donald ‘Doodle’ Malpas is shocked to discover that his new case involves the murder of a teenage Lithuanian girl he knows from the Sovereign Grace Mission. Why hasn’t the girl’s death been reported? And why is a young police constable suddenly so keen to join the mission? No one seems willing to join the dots between the two cases, and how they link to Raskine House, the stately home in the Scottish countryside with a dark history and even darker present – the venue for the debauched parties held there by the rich and powerful of the city who call themselves ‘The Weekenders’. Painting a picture of a 1960s Glasgow in the throes of a permissive society, pulled apart by religion, corruption, and a murderous Bible John stalking the streets, The Weekenders is a snapshot of an era of turmoil – and a terrifying insight into the mind of a ruthless criminal… _________________ ‘An alchemical epic that flies through decades while managing to remain deeply grounded in real lives and the battle for truth. Bravo!’ Ewan Morrison ‘This fiction is furious. David F. Ross goes deep and dark, in an attempt to understand the criminal mind … [and] writes with a righteous anger as he examines the evil that men do’ Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae ‘David Ross has a seemingly natural gift for pungently memorable phrasing and dialogue that feels you’re listening in rather than reading’ Damian Barr ‘Stark, uncompromising and gritty, David F. Ross takes us to a dark place that is no easy weekend away’ Douglas Skelton ‘Excruciating vulnerability meets the harsh daily realities of sixties’ Glasgow and the brutal machismo of its poisonous, smoke-filled institutions. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor, David F. Ross’s style has been honed to perfection’ Callum McSorley ‘A gripping tale of secrets and excess, and a stylish, mesmerising thriller, boldly delivered in Ross’ signature style’ George Paterson Praise for David F. Ross #39;A dazzling, time-hopping patchwork of pop and politics, sewn together with wit and compassion #39; Kirstin Innes #39;This amiable and ambitious transatlantic extravaganza is a busy social tapestry pegged to real-life events in Scotland and the US … Ross #39;s affection for his characters shines through.

Oscar the cat lives on the third floor of a nursing home in Rhode Island, USA. At first glance Oscar doesn t seem special. He s plain to look at. He s aloof. Like most cats, he s partial to treats and catnip. But in the summer of 2007 Oscar made headlines around the world. So what s so unusual about Oscar? He knows when the hospice patients are going to die. Dr Dosa s job is to respond to people s medical needs, treat them for their ailments and communicate with their families. Oscar takes care of the rest. He is a steady companion as patients descend into death. He is with them when they die. And, because of him, they don t die alone. Can a cat really predict death? Is he smelling something or responding to behavioural clues? Is he helping guide souls to heaven? Oscar s warm and profound story - of his uncanny ability to see death coming, of his steadfast and non-judgmental commitment to sit with patients as they die, of his quiet compassion - is a metaphor for what is important at the end of life.
