The Flatness and Other Landscapes
ISBN: 9780820324791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Seen from the air, the seemingly endless "flyover" spaces that form America's Midwest appear in rectangular variations of brown, green, and ochre, with what Michael Martone terms "the tended look of a train set." In these essays, the flatness of the region becomes the author's canvas for a richly textured, multidimensional exploration of its culture and history. In the tradition of the Greek myths that inspire him, Martone begins at the beginning--his beginning--as a child who "grew up" in his mother's high school English classroom. As the essays unfold, provocative accounts of his...

Racing in Place: Collages, Fragments, Postcards, Ruins
ISBN: 9780820330396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Is it truth or fiction? Memoir or essay? Narrative or associative? To a writer like Michael Martone, questions like these are high praise. Martone s studied disregard of form and his unruffled embrace of the prospect that nothing--no story, no life--is ever quite finished have yielded some of today s most splendidly unconventional writing. Add to that an utter weakness for pop Americana and what Louise Erdrich has called a deep affection for the ordinary, and you have one of the few writers who could pull off something like "Racing in Place." Up the steps of the Washington Monument, down... Is it truth or fiction? Memoir or essay? Narrative or associative? To a writer like Michael Martone, questions like these are high praise.
