Kurt Vonnegut nebyl jen přední americký prozaik, ale též vyhledávaný a oblíbený veřejný řečník. Výbor z jeho projevů nyní vychází pod názvem No není to krása? Najdeme zde devět autorových proslovů; jeden z nich byl pronesen u příležitosti přebírání prestižní ceny Carla Sandburga, jeden na shromáždění Indianské unie občanských svobod a sedm zbylých na různých univerzitních promocích (což je přímo vonnegutovsky paradoxní, vzhledem k tomu, že sám Vonnegut nikdy univerzitu nedostudoval). Netřeba se však bát nějaké mravokárné suchařiny - Vonnegutovy projevy si co do výstavby, čtivosti a vtipnosti s ničím nezadají s jeho prózami. I v nich autor předvádí svou typickou ironii a sarkasmus, i v nich dokáže mezi drsné špílce nenápadně propašovat svůj humanismus a empatii, i v nich vyslovuje nejednu základní pravdu a přitom na čtenáře - či posluchače - spiklenecky pomrkává. No není to krása? Kurt Vonnegut jr. (1922-2007) patřil k nejoceňovanějším a nejoblíbenějším americkým spisovatelům druhé poloviny 20. století a od 60. let, kdy si ho přisvojili studenti amerických univerzit, požíval pověsti autora kultovního. Jeho romány lze považovat za společenské prózy (on sám je tak označoval), ale z běžně chápaných hranic tohoto žánru se od začátku tvrdošíjně přesouvají do sfér literatury humorné, groteskní, protiválečné, antiutopické či ...

The first-ever, critically acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five now available in softcover!Centering on the infamous firebombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim’s odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we fear most. Billy Pilgrim’s journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human. An American classic and one of the world’s seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!).

Selected and introduced by fellow novelist and friend Dan Wakefield, the speeches in If This Isn''t Nice, What Is? capture a different side of Kurt Vonnegut for the first time in book form.

In each of these talks Vonnegut takes pains to find the few things worth saying and a conversational voice to say them in that isn''t heavy-handed or pretentious or glib, but funny and serious and joyful even if sometimes without seeming so.

Look at the Birdie evokes a world in which squabbling couples, high school geniuses, misfit office workers, and small-town Lotharios struggle to adapt to changing technology, moral ambiguity, and unprecedented affluence. In "Confido," a family learns the downside of confiding their deepest secrets into a magical invention. In "Ed Luby''s Key Club," a man finds himself in a Kafkaesque world of trouble after he runs afoul of the shady underworld boss who calls the shots in an upstate New York town. In "Look at the Birdie," a quack psychiatrist turned "murder counsellor" concocts a novel new outlet for his paranoid patients.

Audiokniha: „Někdy si myslím, že zrovna v tomhletom je malér světa: moc vystydlejch mrtvol na těch nejvyšších místech.“ Sci-fi román o lidské zaslepenosti, který dlouho nepustíte z hlavy. Kolíbku, která vyšla v roce 1963, považoval Kurt Vonnegut za jeden ze svých nejlepších románů. Ironicky v něm komentuje stav Spojených států v šedesátých letech 20. století, kdy na Západě rostla obliba hippies, východního náboženství i konzumace drog, studená válka byla v plném proudu a vzrůstala vojenská podpora USA ve válce ve Vietnamu. Vonnegutův vypravěč pracuje na knize o tom, co dělali význační Američané v den svržení první atomové bomby. Pátrá i po fiktivním otci jaderné zbraně a při tom narazí na další ničivý objev – tzv. led typu 9, který mrzne při pokojové teplotě. Další stopy ho zavedou do fiktivního karibského státu, kde nečekaně dosáhne vysokého postavení, schyluje se ale k apokalypse… Vonnegutova kniha je ironickou sondou do lidského nitra, kde se skrývá touha po moci i po něčem vyšším.

Kriminálník je ideální knihou pro čtenáře, kteří s Kurtem Vonnegutem ještě nemají žádnou zkušenost, ale chtějí s ním začít. Tento román totiž neodkazuje k jiným autorovým dílům, jako řada z těch ostatních, ale soustředí se přísně na vyprávění hlavního hrdiny Waltera Starbucka, který byl po letech propuštěn z vězení a hodlá radikálně změnit svůj život. Jeho vyprávění přeskakuje v čase z minula do budoucna a stává se originální, vtipnou a satirickou kritikou amerického kapitalismu.

V knize je text vracející se znovu k tématu amerického bombardování Drážďan na konci druhé světové války, text o třech vojácích, kteří si představují své milované jídlo, jež si dají, až se vrátí z války domů, text o tom, jak je nemožné uchránit své děti před svody násilí, a další. Dvanáct dosud nepublikovaných textů dovoluje nahlédnout do úvah muže, který byl vojákem, spisovatelem, umělcem, rodičem i člověkem usilujícím neúnavně o nápravu světa.

Based on her own experience with grief—the author’s partner died when both were in their late twenties—and those of other Grief Club members, Janine Kwoh uses brief writings, illustrations, and creative diagrams to explore the wide range of emotions and experiences that grief can encompass. For anyone who has lost a loved one or who is close to someone who is grieving, Welcome to the Grief Club is a book of solace, connection, hope, and reassurance. It addresses with empathy and honesty the aspects of grief that so many of us experience but that aren’t widely discussed: the variety and volatility of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, joy; the physical symptoms of grief; and how grief isn’t linear, but it does change and soften over time. It affirms that there is truly no right or wrong way to grieve and assures us that the things we feel that surprise us or seem strange are often common and always valid. Humor helps us to survive, and the book uses a lighthearted approach to cover powerful topics, like supremely ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A significant catalogue of Pakistani-American artist Huma BhabhaÂ’s layered and nuanced sculptures and works on paper that center on a reinvention of the figure and its expressive possibilities.Through the artistÂ’s fusion of materials and influences, BhabhaÂ’s work unites the ancient and the futuristic, evoking both familiarity and otherworldliness. Her formally innovative practice pulls from a wide range of references, from those that span the history of art to quotidian influences such as science fiction and horror films and the makeshift structures and detritus of urban life. Instinctive and rigorous, her work brings diverse aesthetic, cultural, and psychological touchstones into contact with matters of surface, materiality, and formal construction. This publication highlights BhabhaÂ’s ability to move between a wide range of media and forms, creating deeply resonant hybrid figures that seem to simultaneously dwell in the past, present, and future. Published on the occasion of two concurrent exhibitions at David Zwirner in New York in 2024, Welcome . . . to the one who came includes a text by the curator Tausif Noor that investigates the theme of alienation in BhabhaÂ’s work. In his essay, the curator and writer Peter Eleey situates her practice within the arc of art-historical models and ... Unknown localization key: "more"
