Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: If you can think of times in your life that you’ve treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it’s probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we’re here for is to learn how to do it. I know that sounds a little pious.-- David Foster Wallace An indelible portrait of David Foster Wallace, by turns funny and inspiring, based on a five-day trip with award-winning writer David Lipsky during Wallace’s Infinite Jest tour In David Lipsky’s view, David Foster Wallace was the best young writer in America. Wallace’s pieces for Harper’s magazine in the ’90s were, according to Lipsky, “like hearing for the first time the brain voice of everybody I knew: Here was how we all talked, experienced, thought. It was like smelling the damp in the air, seeing the first flash from a storm a mile away. You knew something gigantic was coming.”Then Rolling Stone sent Lipsky to join Wallace on the last leg of his book tour for Infinite Jest, the novel that made him internationally famous. They lose to each other at chess. They get iced-in at an airport. They dash to Chicago to catch a make-up flight. They endure a terrible reader’s escort in Minneapolis. Wallace does a reading, a signing, an NPR appearance. Wallace gives in and imbibes titanic amounts of hotel television (what he calls an “orgy of spectation”). They fly back to Illinois, drive home, walk Wallace’s dogs. Amid these everyday events, Wallace tells Lipsky remarkable things—everything he can about his life, how he feels, what he thinks, what terrifies and fascinates and confounds him—in the writing voice Lipsky had come to love. Lipsky took notes, stopped envying him, and came to feel about him—that grateful, awake feeling—the same way he felt about Infinite Jest. Then Lipsky heads to the airport, and Wallace goes to a dance at a Baptist church.A biography in five days, Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself is David Foster Wallace as few experienced this great American writer. Told in his own words, here is Wallace’s own story, and his astonishing, humane, alert way of looking at the world; here are stories of being a young writer—of being young generally—trying to knit together your ideas of who you should be and who other people expect you to be, and of being young in March of 1996. And of what it was like to be with and—as he tells it—what it was like to become David Foster Wallace. David Lipsky is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, The Best American Short Stories, The Best American Magazine Writing, The New York Times, The New York Times Book Review, and many other publications. He contributes as an essayist to NPR's All Things Considered, and is the recipient of a Lambert Fellowship, a Media Award from GLAAD, and a National Magazine Award. He's the author of the novel The Art Fair, a collection of stories, Three Thousand Dollars, and the bestselling nonfiction book Absolutely American, which was a Time magazine Best Book of the Year.
What Have They Built You to Do?: The Manchurian Candidate and Cold War America - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Considered by many to be the best political thriller ever made, The Manchurian Candidate is as entertaining, troubling, and relevant today as it was in 1962. Starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Angela Lansbury, and directed with probing insight by John Frankenheimer, the film was widely acclaimed as a masterpiece. Largely out of circulation for the next two decades, it acquired a well-deserved cult following until it was rereleased during the last year of the Reagan presidency, when its pointed satire of political and media manipulation seemed more timely than ever. In What Have They Built You to Do?—a key line of dialogue from the original film—Matthew Frye Jacobson and Gaspar Gonz?lez undertake an ambitious reexamination of The Manchurian Candidate, the 1959 novel by Richard Condon on which it was based, and—critically analyzed here for the first time—the 2004 remake directed by Jonathan Demme. Based on close readings of the film and broad investigations into the eras in which it was made and rediscovered, the authors decode the many layers of meaning within and surrounding the film, from the contradictions of the Cold War it both embodies and parodies—McCarthyism and Kennedy liberalism, individualism and conformity—to its construction of Asian villains, overbearing women, and male heroes in a society anxious about race, gender, and sexuality. Through their multifaceted analysis of The Manchurian Candidate (in all its incarnations), Jacobson and Gonz?lez raise provocative questions about power and anxiety in American politics and society from the Cold War to today. Matthew Frye Jacobson teaches American studies at Yale University. His books include Roots Too: White Ethnic Revival in Post–Civil Rights America. Gaspar Gonz?lez is an independent scholar and journalist in Miami. He has taught American studies at Yale University and film studies at the University of Miami.

The Best Places You've Never Seen: Pennsylvania's Small Museums, A Traveler's Guide - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You know the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but have you ever visited the Toy Robot Museum in Adamstown or Bill's Old Bike Barn in Bloomsburg? The Tom Mix Museum in Mix Run? The Houdini Museum in Scranton? Pennsylvania's many small museums are easy to miss in an age of instant information and superhighways. After reading Therese Boyd's guide, however, you'll rush to get off the beaten track to find them. Pennsylvania's little wonders are as entertaining as they are educational. Unlike large museums, which display masterpieces of art and other 'important' items, small museums feature objects that would otherwise be thrown away and forgotten everything from spittoons to high button shoes and trolley cars. Some small museums, such as the Richard Allen Museum, serve a serious purpose; others are playful, even eccentric. All offer a fresh perspective on how people have lived and worked. Of the hundreds of small museums throughout Pennsylvania, Boyd concentrates on forty-two she considers well worth a detour. These range from Kready's Museum, where visitors can savor the simple pleasures of a country store, to the Vocal Groups Hall of Fame and Museum, where music fans can listen to 'golden oldies' and pore over memorabilia (including sequined dresses once worn by the Supremes). Boyd's book is a comprehensive, illustrated guide to the best small museums in Pennsylvania. It weaves amusing anecdotes about Boyd's own visits to the museums along with descriptions of their histories and collections. Her guide provides travel directions as well as complete information about each museum's visiting hours, Website, and contact information.
As You Like It (Bloom's Shakespeare Through the Ages) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: hakespeare Through the Ages presents not the most current of Shakespearecriticism, but the best of Shakespeare criticism, from the seventeenth centuryto today. In the process, each volume also charts the flow over time of criticaldiscussion of a particular play. Other useful and fascinating collections of his-torical Shakespearean criticism exist, but no collection that we know of containssuch a range of commentary on each of Shakespeare’s greatest plays and at thesame time emphasizes the greatest critics in our literary tradition: from JohnDryden in the seventeenth century, to Samuel Johnson in the eighteenth cen-tury, to William Hazlitt and Samuel Coleridge in the nineteenth century, toA.C. Bradley and William empson in the twentieth century, to the most per-ceptive critics of our own day. This canon of Shakespearean criticism empha-sizes aesthetic rather than political or social analysis.Some of the pieces included here are full-length essays; others are excerptsdesigned to present a key point. Much (but not all) of the earliest criticismconsists only of brief mentions of specific plays. In addition to the classics ofcriticism, some pieces of mainly historical importance have been included, oftento provide background for important reactions from future critics.These volumes are intended for students, particularly those just beginningtheir explorations of Shakespeare. We have therefore also included basicmaterials designed to provide a solid grounding in each play: a biography ofShakespeare, a synopsis of the play, a list of characters, and an explication ofkey passages. In addition, each selection of the criticism of a particular centurybegins with an introductory essay discussing the general nature of that century’scommentary and the particular issues and controversies addressed by criticspresented in the volume.
