Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Truly unlike any other book I have read. Shakespeare and AntiShakespeare, a time-slipping tragicomedy of errors, grim and gorgeous, sparkling and sliding with wit and melancholy . . . Picture of Nobody is a masterpiece, and a very strange one too.' -David Tibet, Current 93Transposed into the early twentieth century, a nonentity named Shakespeare rails against poverty, mediocrity, and misunderstanding, in forgotten modernist Philip Owens's brilliant, one-of-a-kind satire.Every year, there's a new crop of sad, dirty poet boys coming up to the city without a penny to their names. In six months' time, who on earth will remember these nobodies, with their so-called blank verse and their extravagant plots-this Marlowe, Kyd, and Will 'Shakespere' (A pseudonym, surely!)Better that they write thrillers, or advertising copy, or speeches for the media baron John Falstaff, who looks to be running for office. Now there's a man with a strong hand, who'll keep us out of any nasty foreign wars!Published in 1936 and soon forgotten in the chaos of World War II, Picture of Nobody is one of the strangest, most accomplished, and most remarkable one-offs in English fiction. A comic yet credible reimagining of the milieu of Elizabethan London in modernist dress, it transcends its premise to provide a poignant portrait, of a Shakespearean mind coming to grips with the twentieth century. Populated by an assortment of characters familiar from Will's life and writing both, it is as much a loving parody as a grim prophecy regarding the fate of genius in 'interesting times.'. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Black American Hero That History Has Tried to ForgetWyatt and Rachel's Forbidden LoveA Determined Mother's Strength Holds the Family TogetherA Book Club Choice for Discerning ReadersLittle is known about Wyatt Outlaw's life, but his death is well documented. The Short Happy Life of Wyatt Outlaw tells the heroic story of an enslaved man that history wants to forget; it imagines Wyatt Outlaw as a son, husband, and father. The novel is framed with the murderous events that occur in Graham, North Carolina, on February 26, 1870. The atmosphere is thick with political tension and impending violence. Wyatt Outlaw, a Black town commissioner, master carpenter, and Union veteran, is marked for death by the White Brotherhood and KKK. Born the unacknowledged son of a white planter and an enslaved mother, Wyatt is sold to protect his father's fragile public image. After years of working as a slave on a tobacco farm and then being brutally beaten by a patroller or 'pattyroller,' Wyatt's world improves when he meets Rachel. Because marriage is forbidden for slaves, their romance culminates in a secret jumping-the-broom ceremony. They begin a family, but when a violent clash with a pattyroller-to defend Rachel-forces Wyatt to make an impossible choice to flee North, he joins the United States Colored Cavalry to fight against the system that enslaved him. Following the Civil War, Wyatt returns to Graham a free man and a proud combat veteran. With the help of his strong mother, who takes care of his three sons, Wyatt attempts to create harmony out of the ashes of the Civil War. He builds a successful woodworking business. He is appointed town commissioner and becomes a leader in the Union League, working to forge a political alliance between newly enfranchised Black voters and poor white farmers. But this coalition is a threat to the old Southern aristocracy, and the planter class unleashes the White Brotherhood and KKK to crush Wyatt's organizing efforts through terror, triggering a ticking-clock countdown leading to the Kirk-Holden War. The narrative is followed by a Book Club Discussion Guide that offers readers and book club groups a profound look at what it costs to build a family and community when the world wants to forget you. Livengood, Thomas S. (illustrator). …
