Kochanka Wittgensteina
ISBN: 9788381964289 / Polski / twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Ogłoszona „szczytowym osiągnięciem amerykańskiej prozy eksperymentalnej" Kochanka Wittgensteina Davida Marksona (1927–2010) to powieść osobliwa. Obsesyjna, przewrotna, dowcipna, przejmująca. Skazana na pierwszą osobę liczby pojedynczej, w bardzo szczególnym sensie post-apokaliptyczna, w nietuzinkowy sposób erudycyjna. Niewiarygodna narratorka, malarka, znana czytelnikowi jako Kate, jest, jak się zdaje, jedyną ocalałą na świecie, po którym z zaskakującą swobodą porusza się najróżniejszymi środkami lokomocji.

Going Down
ISBN: 9781593760649 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Unlike David Markson's most recent works, including Vanishing Point and Wittgenstein's Mistress, which David Foster Wallace described as "pretty much the high point of experimental fiction in this country," his early novel, Going Down, is a more traditional effort, a masterfully plotted narrative set in Mexico in the 1960s. Three Americans, a man and two women, are living together in obvious intimacy. Their habits, strange to the Mexicans, are strangest of all to themselves. When Fern Winters' attention is caught by movement behind a window in a run-down Greenwich...

The Last Novel
ISBN: 9781593761431 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In recent novels, which have been called "hypnotic," "stunning," and "exhilarating," David Markson has created his own personal genre. In this new work, The Last Novel, an elderly author (referred to only as "Novelist") announces that since this will be his final effort, he has "carte blanche to do anything he damned well pleases." Pressed by solitude and age, Novelist's preoccupations inevitably turn to the stories of other artists -- their genius, their lack of recognition, and their deaths. Keeping his personal history out of the story as much as possible, Novelist creates an...

This Is Not a Novel
ISBN: 9781582431338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This Is Not a Novel is a highly inventive work which drifts "genre-less," somewhere in between fiction, nonfiction, and psychological memoir. In the opening pages of the "novel," a narrator, called only "Writer," announces that he is tired of inventing characters, contemplating plot, setting, theme, and conflict. Yet the writer is determined to seduce the reader into turning pages-and to "get somewhere," nonetheless. What follows are pages crammed with short lines of astonishingly fascinating literary and artistic anecdotes, quotations, and cultural curiosities. This Is Not a Novel is...

Epitaph for a Tramp & Epitaph for a Dead Beat: The Harry Fannin Detective Novels
ISBN: 9781593761349 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Before achieving critical acclaim as a novelist, David Markson paid the rent by writing several crime novels, including two featuring the private detective Harry Fannin. Together here in one volume, these works are now available to a new generation of readers. In Epitaph for a Tramp, Fannin isn't called out to investigate a murder -- it happens on his doorstop. In the sweltering heat of a New York August night, he answers the buzzer at his door to find his promiscuous ex-wife dying from a knife wound. To find her killer, Fannin plies his trade with classic hard-boiled aplomb. In...

The Ballad of Dingus Magee
ISBN: 9781582434100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although best known today for his singular, stunning "anti-novels" dazzlingly conjured from anecdotes, quotes, and small thoughts, in his early days David Markson paid the rent by writing punchy, highly dramatic fictions. On the heels of a new double edition of his steamy noirs Epitaph for a Tramp and Epitaph for a Deadbeat comes a new edition of his 1965 classic The Ballad of Dingus Magee, whose subtitle -- "Immortal True Saga of the Most Notorious and Desperate Bad Man of the Olden Days, his Blood-Shedding, his Ruination of Poor Helpless Females, & Cetera" -- gives...
