thick square sewn PAPERBACK, cover price $20, fresh attractive copy, appears unused. VLADISLAVIC, IVAN. The distance. Brooklyn, NY: Archipelago Books, 2020, stated First Archipelago Books edition, 290pp., . "In his youth in 1970s suburban Pretoria, Joe falls in love with Muhammad Ali. He diligently scrapbooks newspaper clippings of his his hero, recording the showman's words and taking in his inimitable brand of resistance. Forty years later, digging out his yellowed archive of Ali clippings and comic books, Joe sets out to write a memoir of his childhood. Calling upon his brother Branko for help, their two voices interweave to unearth a shared past. Reconstructing a world of bioscopes, Formica tabletops, Ovaltine, and drop-offs in their father's Ford Zephyr, conjuring the textures of childhood, what emerges is a collision of memories, patching the gulf between past and present. Meaning arises in the gaps between fact and imagination, and words themselves become markers of the past and the turbulent present. In this formally inventive, fragmented novel, Vladislavic evokes the beauty, and the strangeness, of remembering and forgetting, and explores what it means to be at odds with one's surroundings".

Perfect Bound Soft Cover. Condición: This is a new book. Lenz, Georg Büchner's visionary exploration of an 18th-century playwright's descent into madness, has been called the inception of European modernist prose. Elias Canetti considered this short novella to be one of the seminal reading experiences of his entire life, and writers as various as Paul Celan, Christa Wolff, Peter Schneider, and Gert Hofmann have paid homage to it in their works. Published posthumously in 1839, Lenz is a taut case study of three weeks in the life of a schizophrenic, perhaps the first third-person text ever to be written from the "inside" of insanity. An early experiment in docufiction, Büchner's textual montage draws on the diary of J.F. Oberlin, the Alsatian pastor who briefly took care of Lenz in 1778, while also refracting Goethe's memoir of his troubled friendship with the playwright. English versions of both of these historical source texts here accompany Lenz for the first time in this bilingual presentation. Based on the most recent edition of the text, this fresh translation will allow readers to discover why Heiner Müller pronounced Lenz the inaugural example of "21st-century prose." Büchner's Lenz represents a brilliant and widely influential prefiguring of the modernist narrative imagination. For the first time, thanks to Richard Sieburth's astonishing skills, we have a version in English that respects and communicates the radical inventiveness and stylistic singularity of the original. It is a work that fully breathes in the present. - Michael Palmer Richard Sieburth is one of handful of magnificent literary translators among us-witness his Hölderlin, Nerval, Scève, and Gershom Scholem's poems. His extraordinary rendition of Büchner'sLenz is both a superb version and a startling interpretation of a great and vital work. The beautifully produced little volume is amazingly rich, giving us Büchner's 'source' in Oberlin, Goethe's reflections upon Lenz himself, and crucial commentary. - Harold Bloom .…

A hero to the likes of Llosa and Gabriel Garci?a Ma?rquez and a vital forbearer to magical realism, Onetti won the Cervantes Prize in 1980. A Dream Come True, beautifully translated by Katherine Silver, gathers Onetti's entire body of short fiction into English for the first time. Onetti's characters drift untethered, through strange places with unfamiliar people. A woman idles in a beachside hotel during a prolonged convalescence; a grandmother serves cafe?-con-leche to schoolboys resembling her lost grandson. In these mysterious, dream-like stories, everything is gestured at, nothing plainly told. Each offers a brief glimpse into the life of one of Onetti's vast cast of unusual characters, intimately rendering their sorrows, fears, and joys"-- Provided by publisher. ; Synopsis: A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages. ; Juan Carlos Onetti Borges was a Uruguayan novelist and author of short stories. ; Contents: Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo -- Obstacle -- Possible Baldi -- Tragic end of Alfredo Plumet -- Perfect crime -- Convalescence -- Dream come true -- Masquerade -- Welcome, Bob -- Long tale -- Ninth of July : Independence Day -- Back to the South -- Esbjery by the Sea -- House in the Sand -- Album -- Tale of the Rosenkavalier and the Pregnant Virgin from Liliput -- Most Dreaded Hell -- Face of Disgrace -- Jacob and the Other -- As Sad as She -- On the Thirty-First -- Kidnapped Bride -- Matias the Telegraph Operator -- Twins -- Death and the Girl -- Dogs will have their Day -- Presencia -- Friends -- Soap -- Cat -- Marketplace -- Piggy -- Full Moon -- Tomorrow will be Another Day -- Tree -- Montiagne -- Ki no Tsurayuki -- Shotgun -- She -- Araucaria -- At Three in the Morning -- Imposter -- Kisses -- Her Hand -- Back and Forth -- Ti me dai la cosa me, io te do la cosa te -- Cursed Springtime -- Beachcomber -- Visit -- Saint Joseph ; FINE.
