radiant identities (21 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Tender, precise, comic and chilling by turn, the stories in A. L. Kennedy's new collection confirm her reputation as one of the most exciting new writers to have appeared in the past decade. Exposing and exploring the sinuous undercurrents of violence, anguish and love, she examines the nature of the individual, both in isolation and society, as characters define and deny their chosen identities. While showing us the unlikeliness of intimacy and the impossibility of communications, Kennedy also reveals the subversive liberation of impotence, the humour of discomfort as human beings chafe together, the crazed claustrophobia of the family and the wildly funny results of an eccentricity unleased - the guru who recommends his disciples follow the example of the penguin, or the mordant and brilliant 'Mouseboks Family Dictionary' where LIFE is crossed referenced to Bad Joke and WHAT YOU DESERVE. Told with economy, dramatic insight and enormous empathy, these stories demonstrate a radiant and versatile talent: a writer who has the rare gift of understanding, in equal parts, elation and despair. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 1994. In Radiant Identities, photographer Jock Sturges explores issues of youth and the liberation of body and spirit. These unforgettable images are made from his own circle of acquaintances and family; the settings are their homes and stretches of naturist beaches in France and Northern California. In superb reproductions, Sturges evokes the classical spirit of Old Master paintings and late-nineteenth-century photographic tableaux, while probing concepts of emergent sexuality and psychological intimacy. Aperture's 1991 publication of Sturges's first book, The Last Day of Summer, came shortly after the FBI's much-publicized raid on his home in California, the confiscation of thousands of his images--deemed "pornographic"--and the subsequent rejection of the case by a federal grand jury. Now in its fifth printing, The Last Day of Summer has outlived and transcended that ordeal, drawing both critical and popular acclaim throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, and bringnig Sturges well-deserved artistic recognition. Radiant Identities is the second volume in Sturges's ongoing work. Physically and psychically revealing, these deeply felt images are glorioiusly natural and wonderfully compelling. Elizabeth Beverly's introductory essay, drawn in part from conversations with Sturges's subjects, adds a new dimension to the photogarphs. These personal reflections shed light on the unique collaborative process by which Sturges's remarkable photographs are made. In the book's afterward, noted photography critic A.D. Coleman places Sturges in the context of current debates surrounding censorship in the arts, and discusses the themes of innocence and sexuality in the photographs.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lawrence Johns' Love And Hate is an epic poem on the rise and fall of Haight-Ashbury. Not since Whitman has an American poet so confidently reinvented poetry and country in a single stroke. Billy Collins: 'Heads of acid roll again, this time in verse.' Linda Hurst: 'Lawrence Johns' Love And Hate is a masterpiece of political allegory based on the radiant and tragic story of the Diggers, a whirlwind of new poetics, ruling passions and ancient identities summoned in sharp defense of individual freedom.' G.S.Rowe: 'We haven't seen such a psychologically tuned cast of characters since Chaucer and Shakespeare. Love and Hate is the most ambitious American poetry since Leaves of Grass---its freewheeling style carries a new epic form to catharsis. We confront the tragic nature of the American soul as history and philosophy without interference from the poet's voice. This is strange, ambivalent, this is genius.'.

Who are his biological parents and could they be the source of his sudden trances, when he drifts off into visionary worlds, by turns radiant and nightmarish Reality checks-quick bops on the head-are administered by his nurse during delicate surgeries. But fumbling Jess pulls off a superb makeover of a severely injured patient, with a stunning sequel.Set in Greenwich Village and Santa Fe from 1989 to 2008, Jess's romantic misadventures echo perils of the heart endured in the days of Edna St. Vincent Millay and D. H. Lawrence, the sexual revolution of the sixties and seventies, and today's hookup culture. But Jess and his close companions more than endure; whatever their fates, they are sustained by a group loyalty anchored in pluck, buoyancy, and affection. This is a novel of charmed human acts-from feasting and parading to sailing and dancing to yearning and loving to seeking roots and chasing jackrabbits. All these are brought within a brisk narrative of startling recognitions that prove transformative for Jess Freeman and his intimates.'I read Out of Wedlock at one go, sitting down in the morning to give it a try and not getting up until early evening, when, with a deep sigh of satisfaction, I read the final line. With a plot as screwy as its characters, it charges ahead with manic energy. With all the fun you're having, you may not be prepared for how deeply Out of Wedlock will end up moving you.

Autographed copy sticker on front of dust jacket. Signed by the author on the title page. The dust jacket is in a plastic sleeve. Douglas Coupland[a] OC OBC RCA (born 30 December 1961) is a Canadian novelist, designer, and visual artist. His first novel, the 1991 international bestseller Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, popularized the terms Generation X and McJob. He has published 13 novels, two collections of short stories, seven non-fiction books, and a number of dramatic works and screenplays for film and television. He is a columnist for the Financial Times, as well as a frequent contributor to The New York Times, and Vice. His art exhibits include Everywhere Is Anywhere Is Anything Is Everything, which was exhibited at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Royal Ontario Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, now the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada, and Bit Rot at Rotterdam's Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, as well as the Villa Stuck. Coupland is an Officer of the Order of Canada, and a member of the Order of British Columbia. He published his thirteenth novel Worst. Person. Ever. in 2012. He also released an updated version of City of Glass and the biography Extraordinary Canadians: Marshall McLuhan. He was the presenter of the 2010 Massey Lectures, with a companion novel to the lectures published by House of Anansi Press: Player One What Is to Become of Us: A Novel in Five Hours. From the bestselling author of Generation X and Microserfs, a smart, funny, fast-paced mystery with a heartfelt American romance at its core. Susan is a former child-beauty-pageant contender. John is a hard-living movie producer. She walks away from a plane crash without so much as a scratch. He comes away from a near-death experience with a unique, vivid plan. Susan refuses to spend one more day peddling herself for cheesy TV sitcom parts and takes advantage of a very weird situation to disappear. John turns his back on a hedonistic life making blockbuster action flicks. Shedding their self-made identities, each sets out on an uncharted course across the Gap-clogged, strip-mall landscape of California, searching for the thing--Love--that neither has ever really known, but that they now think they just might, actually, desperately want. Assisting Susan and John are a blackmailing pageant mom, a pair of suburban eggheads, a rust-belt refugee, and a salad bar of other twentieth-century Americans who all share the dream of one day taking center stage. In Miss Wyoming, Douglas Coupland has combined the literary and the popular in a sparkling and witty caper that quietly resonates into the eternal. Derived from a Kirkus review: Coupland's fifth novel matures the generation he christened via a lonely pair of thirtyish Hollywood burnouts in search of meaning. Devotees will recognize the characteristic blend of hip cultural references, ambient humor, and an love tale involving dead-enders living in hope of hope. The romance is a fragmented affair that resolves itself in this concluding phrase: Whatever came to them next would mercifully erase the creatures theyd already become as they crawled along the plastic radiant way. What leads up to that F. Scott Fitzgerald envoi is the story of John Johnson, a maker of mega-selling trash flicks for teens, who falls ill, has a vision, and leaves Hollywood behind for the joys of dumpster diving in the Southwest; and Susan Colgate, a veteran of kiddie beauty pageants whose generous half-hour of sitcom fame has ended, and whose airliner takes a nosedive into a field in the Midwest, leaving her miraculously unharmed. The two meet in a restaurant, take a walk down Sunset in the afternoon, and are mutually enchanted. Despite their efforts to meet again, flashbacks, flashforwards, and sitcom misfortunes intervene. Susie's mom Marilyn, broke, deprived of an airline settlement, and abandoned by her resentful daughter, kidnaps Susie's infant Eugenea child conceived and born during her anonymous lost year immediately after the plane crashand John, with the help of young lovers Ryan and Vanessa, begins his search for Susie. They all end up in Wyoming, mother and daughter reconciled, mother and infant reunited, and Susie and John heading out for the plastic radiant way.

Softcover. Zustand: gut. 2004. This latest book by Jock Sturges is outstanding. The single-page introduction gives the background to the pictures, and it prepares the reader for the delightful, poignant, beautiful, stunning, first-rate photographs that follow. It is a tribute to the girl / adolescent / woman Fanny, and to the continued brilliance of one of the very best photographers alive today. Is it worth the price? Definitely. Jock Sturges presents twenty five plates selected from fourteen years of his career. These includes several of his remarkable images. They won't be new to those who have followed his publications before. However, here each plate contains a commentary on the opposite page. In it the photographer describes the family and setting from which the image emerges. What makes so much of his work stand out is his ability to relate to these subjects and their family. The trust and comfort he has earned is rewarded with the complexity of the character he is able to capture on film. Coupled with his eye for setting and attention to detail the results are remarkable. Jock Sturges Twenty-Five Years is a unique addition to the growing family of Jock Sturges publications. It is the first that presents an overview of his classic images made between the years 1978-2003 with personal commentary by the photographer opposite each reproduction. Beautifully printed in a limited first edition of 3000 copies.

Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 2015. Alain Laboile lebt mit seiner Familie in einem kleinen Dorf im Südwesten Frankreichs. Ursprünglich Bildhauer, kaufte er seine erste Kamera vor wenigen Jahren, um seine Skulpturen festzuhalten. Unwillkürlich gerieten jedoch seine sechs Kinder und deren freier, wilder Lebensstil rund um Haus und Garten in den Fokus. Laboile kann als Naturtalent der Fotografie bezeichnet werden. Seine Bilder zeigen die Ungezwungenheit des kindlichen Spiels und sind emotional vielschichtig. Wie kein Zweiter versteht er es, ihre Interaktion einzufangen und genau im richtigen Moment den Auslöser zu betätigen. Ohne Zweifel können die Aufnahmen Laboiles, die den psychologisch entscheidenden Moment einfangen, mit den Werken der großen fran- zösischen Fotografen Jacques Henri Lartigue und Cartier Bresson verglichen werden. Seine Arbeiten bestimmen einen neuen Standard der Fotografie, die sich mit dem Leben von Kindern auseinandersetzt. Alain Laboiles Fotografien werden von einer ständigen wachsenden internationalen Fangemeinde geradezu euphorisch aufgenommen. Jock Sturges erwarb einen B.A. in Wahrnehmungspsychologie und Fotografie des Marlboro College in Vermont und einen M.F.A. des San Francisco Art Institute. Er hatte zahlreiche Ausstellungen in den Vereinigten Staaten, Frankreich und Japan. Seine Bilder sind in der Sammlung des Museum of Modern Art und dem Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York ausgestellt, ebenso in der Biblioth que Nationale in Paris. Dies ist sein erstes Buch in Deutschland. Alain Laboile resides with his family in a village in the southwest of France. A sculptor by trade, he acquired his first camera only a few years ago. But soon his six children and their natural and uninhibited lifestyle came to dominate his camera's attention: "Through my photographic work I celebrate and document my family life: a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. Though my work is deeply personal, it is also accessible, addressing human nature and allowing the viewer to enter my world and reflect on their own childhoods." Born on May 1, 1968 in Bordeaux, France, Alain Laboile is a photographer and father of six. In 2004, as he needed to put together a portfolio of his work as a sculptor, he acquired a camera, and thus developped a taste for macrophotography, spurred by his passion for entomology. Later on, he pointed his lens towards his growing family which became his major subject : a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. Jock Sturges is a fine art photographer living in Seattle, Washington in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Best known for his nudes and extended portraits of families in Northern California counter-culture communities, Ireland and on French naturist beaches, his large format images borrow significantly from classical periods in both photography and nineteenth and early twentieth century painting. Represented by 26 galleries in ten countries, Mr. Sturges' work is also to be found in the collection of many of the world's museums including The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and The Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art in Germany.
