In the Zone: The Twilight World of Rod Serling
ISBN: 9780879727307 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The classic television show The Twilight Zone explored the possibilities inhering in the ordinary. A Twilight Zone episode moved us by being poignant and intimate, rambunctious or thought provoking. But whether it takes place on an asteroid, in a city pool room, or in the backwoods, it will usually convey both a folklorist's eye for detail and the born raconteur's sense of pace. Rod Serling, the show's originator, main scriptwriter, and artistic director, knew how much burden he could place on his rhetorical and dramatic gifts. Deservedly celebrated as a pioneer fiction writer...

Like Hot Knives to the Brain: James Ellroy's Search for Himself
ISBN: 9780739120026 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Often more disturbing than entertaining, James Ellroy is an author who never shies away from the ugly or repellent. Eminent crime fiction scholar Peter Wolfe examines how Ellroy transcends the genres of pulp and neo-noir fiction to write stories that are both psychologically haunting and culturally relevant. Wolfe skillfully combines biography--including the unsolved murder of Ellroy's mother--with literary analysis to provide a fascinating and readable study of this popular author. The first in-depth companion to the work of James Ellroy, Like Hot Knives to the Brain will interest students...

Simon Gray Unbound: The Journey of a Dramatist
ISBN: 9780786462995 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The work of British playwright Simon Gray (1936-2008) has always discouraged labels. His inventive plays never lodged easily within the confines of ideologies and, as a consequence, have failed to garner the critical scholarship afforded his peers. This book examines Gray's legacy, from his early plays which hack away at the formalism and humanism of traditional English Satire, to his later work, in which he explores English professionals and their problems connecting with each other. If he remains the least known major English dramatist of his day, he's also one of the boldest and best.

The Theater of Terrence McNally: A Critical Study
ISBN: 9780786474950 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Peter Wolfe's new book isn't just a groundbreaking introduction to one of today's leading American playwrights; it's also a subtle, carefully nuanced critique. This first book-length monograph on Terrence McNally shows how McNally's decades in the theater have both deepened and refined his thoughts on subjects like growing up gay in mannish, homophobic Texas, Shakespeare's legacy in contemporary drama, and the life-giving power of forgiveness. McNally believes that the ability to forgive confirms our humanity because the wrongs perpetrated against us usually don't deserve to be forgiven....

Corridors of Deceit: The World of John le Carré
ISBN: 9780879723828 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John le Carre is viewed by many critics as one of the best spy and espionage novel writers. His most famous works are The Spy Who Came in from the Cold; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; and The Little Drummer Girl. Peter Wolfe has produced an informative study of le Carre's works, showing how le Carre's five years in the Service (British Intelligence) helped him become a keen observer, social historian, and expert in bureaucratic politics. He has supplanted the technological flair marking much of today's spy fiction with moral complexity and psychological depth. He shows us what spies are like,...

Something More Than Night: The Case of Raymond Chandler
ISBN: 9780879722937 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Raymond Chandler's eminence as a mystery writer is unchallenged. Somerset Maugham and George Grella both rate him above Dashiell Hammett; Eric Partridge deems him "a serious artist and a very considerable novelist," while praising him as "one of the finest novelists of his time." Peter Wolfe examines the many sides of Chandler and his work--his apparent will to self-destruct, his obsession with beautiful women, and his apparent brush with homosexuality--and casts much new and needed light on this major American author.

Henry Green: Havoc in the House of Fiction
ISBN: 9781476671116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Praised in his lifetime as England's top fiction author, Henry Green (1905-1973), is largely overlooked today. Through his use of paradoxical and ambiguous language, his novels bring texture to the flatness of life, making the world seem bigger and closer. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of his work for a new generation of readers"--

Laden Choirs: The Fiction of Patrick White
ISBN: 9780813155494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1973 the Australian novelist Patrick White won the Nobel Prize for Literature, the year that his great novel of family ties and change, The Eye of the Storm, was published and became a bestseller in America and Europe. Yet White is still not widely known or read, and few writers of today have provoked so many contradictory judgments. Now Peter Wolfe has written the first book-length study of the work of this brilliant and haunting novelist. The study offers a subtle, penetrating examination of White's style, his skill in building narrative tension, and also the depth and...

Understanding Alan Bennett
ISBN: 9781570032806 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Understanding Alan Bennett, Peter Wolfe conveys Bennett's originality, complexities of thought, and creative vigor while examining Bennett in his various roles as actor, director, playwright, and lyricist. As Wolfe illustrates, Bennett's success in his many spheres was no fluke. Bennett's theatrical eminence has been accompanied by awards and professional recognition. His play Single Spies won the Oliver Award as England's best comedy for 1989. The casts of his plays, starting with Forty Years On in 1968, have included such luminaries as Sir John Gielgud, Sir Alec Guinness, Joan Plowright,...

Alarms & Epitaphs: The Art of Eric Ambler
ISBN: 9780879726034 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Eric Ambler's novelistic career falls into two halves. In the first half belong the works he published between 1935 1940. These include the highly acclaimed Epitaph for a Spy (1938) and The Mask of Dimitrios (1939), both of which were made into successful films in 1944. The intrigue books of this period unfold in interwar Europe, a bitten-up, anxious place reeling between the extremes of fascism and Soviet communism. To reflect changes in the postwar world, Ambler set his later books in third-world countries where first-world financing collides with unstable, often...
