Verbivoracious Festschrift Volume One: Christine Brooke-Rose
ISBN: 9789810794071 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Verbivoracious Press publishes a triannual festschrift celebrating the work of lesser-known European writers. The flagship issue fetes Christine Brooke-Rose, one of the most innovative voices of the twentieth century, whose fiction plays challenging games with form and structure, using grammatical constraints, multiple languages, and a dicing of genre styles and theoretical discourses as an integral component of her novels. Brooke-Rose is among an unfortunate revue of writers whose work is fading out of print, rarely part of critical or academic discussion. This issue contains creative...

Go When You See the Green Man Walking is a dark,...

Stories, Theories and Things
ISBN: 9780521391818 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The novelist and critic Christine Brooke-Rose reflects on her own fictional craft and turns her well-developed analytic abilities on other writers fictional and critical, from Hawthorne and Pound to Bloom and Derrida, in an attempt to investigate those difficult border zones between the "invented" and the "real." The result is an extended meditation, in a highly personal idiom, on the creative act and its relation to modern theoretical writing and thinking. Like her fiction, Professor Brooke-Rose's criticism is self-consciously experimental, trying out and discarding ideas, adopting others....

The Languages of Love
ISBN: 9789810793753 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Twenty-nine year old Julia Grampion has just received her doctorate at London University, but life is looking rather dismal. Her affair with Paul has ended, and she drifts to a relationship with Bernard, learning a different and changeable idiom of love, learning how language disguises the shifting uncertainties of the human ties that bind. The story is set in a cosmopolitan 1950s London featuring university departments, the Reading Room of the British Museum, espresso bars and little Soho restaurants, publishers' parties, and a Bloomsbury "room of one's own." The characters are many and...

The Sycamore Tree
ISBN: 9789810793814 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nina is happily married to Gael, until his recently published book rouses the ire of a not-quite-there critic, Howard, intent on becoming the mover and shaker of Londons literary circles. Howard seduces Nina, while Howards wife Elizabeth becomes involved with an Hungarian exile, who befriends and is befriended by Gael, leading to an utterly unexpected and tragic outcome for all. Christine Brooke-Roses second novel is a waspish satire of the 50s London literary scene, and a story of madness and ill-fated lust-an entertaining novel from her early quartet of realist-mode tragicomedies.

The third in Brooke-Roses sequence of early realist novels, The Dear Deceit, first published in 1960, chronicles in reverse the misadventures of Alfred Northbrook Hayley, a scheming opportunist whose canards and manipulations are met with fatigue and irritation among his family, and whose romantic, financial, and religious struggles form in part a striking autobiographical portrait of Brooke-Roses own father, Alfred Rose.
