Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Winnipeg Free Press Top Read of 2021What if David Bowie really was holding the fabric of the universe together The death of David Bowie in January 2016 was a bad start to a year that got a lot worse: war in Syria, the Zika virus, terrorist attacks in Brussels and Nice, the Brexit voteand th…e election of Donald Trump. The end-of-year wraps declared 2016 "the worst ever." Four even more troubling years later, the question of our apocalypse had devolved into a tired social media cliché. But when COVID-19 hit, journalist and professor of public policy Andrew Potter started to wonder: what if The End isn't one big event, but a long series of smaller ones In On Decline, Potter surveys the current problems and likely future of Western civilization (spoiler: it's not great). Economic stagnation and the slowing of scientific innovation. Falling birth rates and environmental degradation. The devastating effects of cultural nostalgia and the havoc wreaked by social media on public discourse. Most acutely, the various failures of Western governments in their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the legacy of the Enlightenment and its virtuesreason, logic, science, evidencehas run its course, how and why has it happened And where do we go from here.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Winnipeg Free Press Top Read of 2021The thirteenth installment of Canada's annual volume of essays showcases diverse nonfiction writing from across the country. 'The exceptional essay,' writes editor Bruce Whiteman, 'derives from a passionate feeling, love and anger being perhaps its upper…and lower limits, coexisting with a desire for truth, and it aims for the radiance of what is.' In the 2021 edition of Best Canadian Essays, Whiteman's selections seek truth in all the places it may be found, from walks in brambled woods and ancient cities to memories of childhoods that shape a life; to analyses of artifacts both legislative and cultural that advance equality long overdue; to reports from the field that articulate the poetry of the present, the invisibility of the poor, the social contours and consuming mental contagions of the ongoing pandemic. Drawn from leading magazines and journals published in 2020, the fifteen essays gathered here brilliantly illuminate what is.Featuring work by:Neil BesnerCatherine BushYvonne BlomerJenna ButlerElizabeth DauphineeEva-Lynn JagoeMark KingwellFrances KoziarHilary Morgan V.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Shortlisted for the J.I Segal Awards Best Quebec Book on a Jewish Theme Shortlisted for the The Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-FictionA poet rediscovers the artistic passion of her youthand pays tribute to the teacher she thought she'd lost.After thirty-five years as an "on-again, off-again, unc…oached closet pianist," poet and writer Robyn Sarah picked up the phone one day and called her old piano teacher, whom she had last seen in her early twenties. Music, Late and Soon is the story of her return to studying piano with the mentor of her youth. In tandem, she reflects on a previously unexamined musical past: a decade spent at Quebec's Conservatoire de Musique, studying clarinetostensibly headed for a career as an orchestral musician, but already a writer at heart. A meditation on creative process in both music and literary art, this two-tiered musical autobiography interweaves past and present as it tracks the author's long-ago defection from a musical career path and her late re-embrace of serious practice. At its core is a portrait of an extraordinary piano teacher and of a relationship remembered and renewed.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "If you really want to journey into the heart of darkness, you'd be advised to travel with Vancouver writer Keath Fraser, a man of extraordinary talents." Bronwyn DrainieAn icon of Canadian short fiction, Keath Fraser has exerted a wide and trenchant influence since the publication of his fir…st collection Taking Cover in 1982. Damages: Selected Stories 19822012 gathers the finest of his work across decades. Combining the craftsmanship of the form's greatest masters with the idiosyncratic voices and music of our contemporary moment, the stories selected here travel from the richly peopled worlds of Fraser's Vancouver to the Gulf of Thailand, a Phnom Penh bone-house embassy, and the Rajasthan desert, and demonstrate remarkable diversity of character and effortless storytelling across a range of modes. Featuring an introduction by John Metcalf, and including the novella "Foreign Affairs," called by the Oxford Companion of Canadian Literature "one of the masterpieces of Canadian short fiction," Damages showcases Keath Fraser as one of the best and most enduring story writers of the last fifty years.
