Nearer
ISBN: 9781932559729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 363 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Lyrical, witty, and elegiac, the twenty-five essays in NEARER show the imagination at work and play amid the ambiguities, consternations, and beauties of the world. They range in subject matter from confrontations with magnitude (God, death, and the physical universe) to examinations of the compact, coiled insistences to be found in the ordinary and the local-what John Updike refers to as "the small answer of a texture." There are meditations on the appeals and the pitfalls of celebrity, the strange and complex nature of memorials, the threat of creeping fraudulence in personal and...

Obligations of the Harp
ISBN: 9781602351158 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) There is never a dull phrase in Arthur Saltzman's OBLIGATIONS OF THE HARP, his fourth book of essays. The writing in these twenty-five pieces is by turns wry and satirical, sensually descriptive, playfully punning-but always nuanced and illuminating. Reference points range from Kobe Bryant to John Updike, from geology to Jewish ritual. One essay is a fanciful treatment of the history of the human cannonball; another provides a deeply humane and humorous account of preparing middle-schoolers for History Day. Varied in topic and tone, Saltzman consistently revels in and re-imagines the...

This Mad Instead : Governing Metaphors in Contemporary American Fiction
ISBN: 9781570033261 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Saltzman (English, Missouri Southern State College) explores the use of metaphor in representative novels by writers such as Kathy Acker, Don DeLillo, William Gass, John Updike, and Paul West. He argues that even as these authors reveal metaphor as unreliable, they use it to structure modes of moral inquiry. The resolution of moral and aesthetic gratification, he argues, is one of the major purposes of metaphor in contemporary American fiction.

Understanding Nicholson Baker
ISBN: 9781570033032 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In addition to being celebrated as a prose miniaturist for such works as The Mezzanine and Room Temperature, Nicholson Baker is widely viewed as a best-selling highbrow eroticist for Vox and The Fermata. In Understanding Nicholson Baker, Arthur Saltzman engages these provocative fictions as well as Baker's renowned nonfiction to show how his seemingly disparate works derive from and demonstrate an unremitting zeal for explicit detail, along with descriptive obsessiveness and linguistic virtuosity.
Through close readings of Baker's work -- including his 1998 novel, The Everlasting Story of... In addition to being celebrated as a prose miniaturist for such works as The Mezzanine and Room Temperature, Nicholson Baker is widely viewed as a bes...

The Novel in the Balance
ISBN: 9780872499607 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Novel in the Balance investigates the issue of "balance" as a thematic and stylistic feature of contemporary American fiction. In his refreshingly jargon-free examination of modern and postmodern writings, Arthur Saltzman cites the hovering, poised, provisional quality of contemporary fiction as the impetus for his study, and he distinguishes paradox as the common philosophical premise and formal principle uniting the works he considers here. Through a comparative analysis of numerous exemplary modern and postmodern novels, Saltzman identifies the strategies employed to produce a state of...

Designs of Darkness in Contemporary American Fiction
ISBN: 9780812230512 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In Designs of Darkness, Arthur M. Saltzman examines some of the ways in which fiction has traditionally conspired to promote a goal-oriented vision of the work of art--and explores the ways in which postmodern (or postrealist) fiction consistently and unavoidably subverts the clarity of this vision. Offering readings of works by well-known authors, including Barthelme, Doctorow, DeLillo, and Hakes, as well as works by lesser-known writers (Auster, Gangemi), Saltzman concentrates on the breakdown of epiphany in recent fiction, both as philosophical motive and as structural...
