"FANTASTIC WOMEN comprises eighteen stories by some of the most exciting contemporary women writers in the United States. [Includes Aimee Bender, Lydia Davis, Samantha Hunt, Miranda July, Kelly Link, Lydia Millet, Karen Russell, lots more] The daughters of Franz Kafka and Mary Shelley, the Brothers Grimm and Angela Carter, these inventive, insightful authors steep their narratives in a heady potion of surrealism and macabre black comedy. The result is wildly creative work that not only pushes the envelope but also folds realistic fiction into an origami dragon, transporting readers into worlds we've never seen before and capturing the truth about human nature." [publisher's copy] "Stories---subtly disturbing, ruthlessly brilliant---by eighteen top-of-the-trend writers."---Ursula K. Le Guin. "That the future is female is nowhere more thrillingly beholdable than in the dominion of literary fiction, where women writers' rejection of rote realism and received forms has cleared the way for visionary misadventure, soulful weirdness, and verbal outlandishments of the highest order. The page-by-page grit and shimmer of these stories, the unlidded imagination and teeming wisdom of these bold and unpredictable writers, reanimate our language and our literature. Here at last is an anthology that's all guts and all gusto, motioning forcibly toward the new world that all of us---women and men alike---had better know now or never."---Gary Lutz. Pristine ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.

"The Wire is an award-winning, independent magazine renowned for its expert coverage of a vast range of alternative, experimental and underground music. Now that knowledge has been distilled into THE WIRE PRIMERS: a guide to the core recordings of some of the most visionary and inspiring, subversive and radical musicians on the planet, past and present. [] A vast range of music is celebrated and demystified: the avant rock of Captain Beefheart, The Fall and Sonic Youth; the funk of James Brown and Fela Kuti; the future jazz of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman; and the experimental compositions of John Cage and Stockhausen. In addition, the book surveys and explains key genres and movements, including musique concrete, turntablism, Noise and dubstep. [] Written by leading writers on modern music, such as Stewart Lee, Alan Licht, Edwin Pouncey, Simon Reynolds, Peter Shapiro and John Szwed, THE WIRE PRIMERS is an essential guide to contemporary sounds for any reader looking to dig below the surface of mainstream music." [publisher copy] "The most essential music magazine of the contemporary era."--Forced Exposure. "For 25 years The Wire magazine has been celebrating the sound of cussed eccentricity . . . A true English eccentric . . . it is the curator of a self-sufficient and non-aligned musical world."--Daily Telegraph. "Shining a light on the marginal, the underground and the outside of popular (and semi-popular) music, The Wire has consistently validated and articulated the merit of experimental creativity."--Thurston Moore. "Feeling scared of cutting yourself to ribbons if you tiptoe along the cutting edge towards the unknown? Then allow The Wire to be your benign guide through the superficially impenetrable aural wilderness."--Robert Wyatt. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners (slight beump on lower back) & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, quite presentable.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. 286pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Of all the major jazz artists, Thelonious Monk was one of the most original musical thinkers--nonconformist, idiosyncratic, imaginative, eccentric--in a word, unique. In THE THELONIOUS MONK READER, Rob van der Bliek has brought together some of the most revealing pieces ever written on Monk, providing a full portrait of the musician and his impact on the jazz world. [] Here is a wealth of information that was previously scattered and difficult to locate, including a wide range of articles, profiles, reviews, interviews, liner notes, and music analyses. Ranging in date from 1947 to 1999, these 39 pieces feature the work of some of our best jazz critics, including Leonard Feather, Ira Gitler, Nat Hentoff, Andre Hodeir, Gunther Schuller, Martin Williams, and many others. The book spans Monk's childhood and early recordings with Blue Note and Prestige, his Riverside period and the critical recognition that followed the release of Brilliant Corners, and his fame and fortune during his Columbia years. Readers will find colorful descriptions of Monk's eccentric lifestyle as well as thoughtful commentary on his unorthodox piano technique, which was marked by off-center accents and idiosyncratic voicings, broken rhythms, alternately dense and stripped down chords, and creative use of silence. [] Rob van der Bliek also provides a general introduction and brief introductions to each piece as well as critical annotations that place the work in context. Controversial, often contradictory, and always engaging, these readings offer a complete view of the man, his music, and his time." [jacket copy] "A fascinating compendium of rare and significant reportage and commentary on a complex, enduring visionary of modern music, including his most notable interviews. The 39 essays here astutely assembled and informatively annotated by Rob van der Bliek add up to a fuller portrait of Monk than any single biography so far. Monk, as well as curious listeners and readers benefit--his music inspires vivid writing."--Howard Mandel. "This book is so good it seems hard to imagine that a full-scale biography could add much, since, of necessity, it would be borrowing largely from the material here. THE THELONIOUS MONK READER doesn't miss any cues, and reading it immeasurably enriches an understanding and appreciation of Monk's music."--George Kanzler, The Newark Star-Ledger. "With a man as hard to interview--and figure out--as Monk, better to have a collection of 39 perspectives than just one. THE THELONIOUS MONK READER is not only more complete than a straight biography, it's more fun, too."--Boston Globe. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a fine jacket featuring a more-than-fine photo portrait of the artist.
