Stranger on the Loose
ISBN: 9780972959834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this collection of stories, D. Harlan Wilson deconditions the boundaries of reality with the same offbeat methodology that energized his first book The Kafka Effekt. Stranger on the Loose is an absurdist account of urban and suburban social dynamics, and of the effects that contemporary image-culture has on the (in)human condition. These stories operate on a plane of existence that resists, and in many cases breaks, the laws of causality. Parrots teach college courses. Fl?neurs impersonate bowling pins. Bodybuilders sneak into people's homes and strike poses at their leisure....

Alfred Bester's the Stars My Destination: A Critical Companion
ISBN: 9783030969455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In this comprehensive study of The Stars My Destination, D. Harlan Wilson makes a case for the continued significance of Alfred Bester’s SF masterwork, exploring its distinctive style, influences, intertextuality, affect, and innovation as well as its extensive metafictional properties. In Stars, Bester established himself as a son of the pulp-SF and high-modernist writers that preceded him and a forefather to the New Wave and cyberpunk movements that followed his lead. Wilson’s study depicts Bester as an SF insider as much as an outlier, writing in the spirit of ... In this comprehensive study of The Stars My Destination, D.

Battle without Honor or Humanity: Volume 1
ISBN: 9781935738763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Taking its cue from the theme song of Kill Bill by Tomoyasu Hotei and the Japanese yakuza film, BATTLE WITHOUT HONOR AND HUMANITY is a thought experiment in the short story form. The deranged politicians, simian film directors, choleric tyrants, fevered academics and berserk everymen that populate this first volume scurry like vermin through dreamlike environments that have been imploded by the hammer of media and information technologies. Based in part on the author's lifelong practice of the martial arts, especially judo and Jeet Kune Do, unlikely English professor D. Harlan Wilson weaves a...

Peckinpah: An Ultraviolent Romance
ISBN: 9781935738404 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Life in Dreamfield, Indiana, is a daily harangue of pigs, cornfields, pigs, fast food joints, pigs, Dollar Stores, motorcycles, pigs, and good old-fashioned Amerikan redneckery. The decidedly estranged yet complacent occupants of this proverbial smalltown go about their business like geriatrics in a casino ... until their business is interrupted by a sinister gang of outsiders. Angry, slick-talking, and ultraviolent to the core, Samson Thataway and the Fuming Garcias commit art-for-art's-sake in the form of hideous, unmotivated serial killings. When an unsuspecting everyman's family is...

Freud: The Penultimate Biography
ISBN: 9781935738572 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. (Publisher's Note: The author failed to fold my laundry in the proper manner, so I am letting the cat out of the bag-these are not actual biographies. They are closer to maps of the author's ego than they are texts about the namesakes adorning their covers. So, if you want to read about Freud or Douglass or Hitler I suggest you do so elsewhere.) In this unofficial, unauthorized sequel to Peter Gay's groundbreaking Freud: A Life of Our Time, D. Harlan Wilson reveals a side of the man that has proven too disturbing and risque for past biographers. Based on newly recovered diaries, microfiche,...

They Had Goat Heads
ISBN: 9780982628126 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. D. Harlan Wilson returns with another ferociously mindbending collection of short fiction. Masked in absurdity, these stories reveal the horrifying and hilarious faces of everyday life. Wilson tells of egg raids, hog rippers, monk spitters, fathers who take their children to pet stores to buy them whales, sociopaths who threaten to clothesline eternity, and the simple act of the story itself becoming a means of repetitive, endless torture. Put on your goat head, hop in your hovercraft, and take a ride with a juggernaut of modern imaginative fiction.

Minority Report
ISBN: 9781800856417 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Charting new territory in filmmaking technologies and Steven Spielberg’s oeuvre, Minority Report (2002) portrays a dystopian near-future that comments on our increasingly science-fictional world and pays homage to the history of SF cinema. In this comprehensive monograph, D. Harlan Wilson recounts the film's inception, production, reception, and afterlife since its release in 2002 while depicting it as a symptom of contemporary media pathology, post-9/11 paranoia, consumer-capitalist aggression, religious mania, and above all, the screen culture that has come to define the human condition....

Pseudo-City
ISBN: 9781933293028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Pseudofoliculitis City nothing is as it seems and everything is as it should be. Today's forecast calls for extreme confrontation, with sandwich flurries and the threat of handlebar mustaches to the west. By turns absurd and surreal, dark and challenging, Pseudo-City exposes what waits in the bathroom stall, under the manhole cover and in the corporate boardroom, all in a way that can only be described as mind-bogglingly irreal.

They are closer to maps of the author's ego than they are texts about the namesakes adorning their covers. So, if you want to read about Freud or Douglass or Hitler I suggest you do so elsewhere.) An icon of true evil, Adolf Hitler is arguably the most important figure of the twentieth century. No one has so patently demonstrated the horrific capabilities of mankind. In Hitler: The Terminal Biography, D. Harlan Wilson tracks the life of the...

Douglass: The Lost Autobiography

They are closer to maps of the author's ego than they are texts about the namesakes adorning their covers. So, if you want to read about Freud or Douglass or Hitler I suggest you do so elsewhere.) Frederick Douglass stands as one of American history's most extraordinary figures, overcoming the evils of slavery and racial construction by force of will and grit. As a fervent abolitionist, gifted orator, and sagacious editor and author, he became...

Dr. Identity
ISBN: 9781933293325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For a professor at Corndog University it's quite acceptable to purchase a robotic dopplegnger and have it teach your classes for you. But how does it reflect on your teaching skills when your dopplegnger murders the whole class? Follow the Dystopian Duo (Dr. Blah Blah Blah and his robot Dr. Identity) on a killing spree of epic proportions through the irreal postapocalyptic city of Bliptown where time ticks sideways, artificial Bug-Eyed Monsters punish citizens for consumer-capitalist lethargy, and ultraviolence is as essential as a daily multivitamin.

J. G. Ballard
ISBN: 9780252082955 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Prophetic short stories and apocalyptic novels like The Crystal World made J. G. Ballard a foundational figure in the British New Wave. Rejecting the science fiction of rockets and aliens, he explored an inner space of humanity informed by psychiatry and biology and shaped by Surrealism. Later in his career, Ballard's combustible plots and violent imagery spurred controversy--even legal action--while his autobiographical 1984 war novel Empire of the Sun brought him fame. D. Harlan Wilson offers the first career-spanning analysis of an author who helped steer SF in new, if startling,...

Primordial: An Abstraction
ISBN: 9780989239158 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A nameless professor's methods of teaching and scholarship become toxic; he is sent back to college to redo his Ph.D. and redeem his authority. This is only the beginning of terror. Life at the University isn't what it used to be. Confronted by folly, redundancy and pornography at every turn, the professor must struggle to follow the rules and be a good student even as he terrorizes the roommates, faculty, staff and administrators that threaten to undermine his rancorous will to power. Narrated in D. Harlan Wilson's token "Hornblower" prose, PRIMORDIAL: AN ABSTRACTION is an exercise in...

Amid the chaos, one man experiences a terminal affliction, a revolution of the self: the chronic transformation into the city of Kyoto, Japan. Each transformation further plunges the world into darkness, but he's helpless against the lethal clockwork of his body, his psyche, his mindscreens-and nothing, not even Fate itself, can stop him from becoming God ...
