Book Synopsis B-Side Books by : John Plotz

Download or read book B-Side Books written by John Plotz. This book was released on 2021-06-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are the acknowledged classics of world literature: the canonical works assigned in schools, topping every must-read list . . . and then there are the B-Sides. These are the books that slipped through the cracks, went unread, missed their rightful appointment with posterity. They were ahead of their times or behind their times or on a whole different schedule than the rest of the universe. What do you do when a book that you love has been neglected or dismissed by everyone else? In B-Side Books, leading writers, critics, and scholars show why their favorite forgotten books deserve a new audience. From dusty westerns and far-out science fiction to obscure Czech novelists and romance-novel precursors, the contributors advocate for the unsung virtues of overlooked books. They write about unheralded novels, poetry collections, memoirs, and more with understanding, respect, passion, and love. In these thoughtful, often personal essays, contributors—including Stephanie Burt, Caleb Crain, Merve Emre, Ursula K. Le Guin, Carlo Rotella, and Namwali Serpell—read books by writers such as Helen DeWitt, Shirley Jackson, Stanislaw Lem, Dambudzo Marechera, Paule Marshall, and Charles Portis.

Book Synopsis B-Sides by : David Chislett

Download or read book B-Sides written by David Chislett. This book was released on 2022-10-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry happens, just like life, when you are making plans. The poems of B-Sides were written in the ten years between ‘For You Or Someone Like You’ and ‘With All Of You.’ My previous two collections have been time-related projects… one launched on Facebook, and one on Patreon. ‘B-Sides’ is completely the opposite. It is a selection of all the poems I wrote in between those two projects. The everyday poetry that gets stashed in the bottom draw and almost forgotten. The words tracking a changing life, an evolving perspective. As such it is thematically and stylistically more diverse whilst remaining recognisably my voice. The idea for the title was born in conversation with Jason Curtis, who suggested the play on words from ‘Besides’ to ‘B-Sides’ as a way of grouping such a diverse collection. Just as bands used to always have a quirky, less commercial B-side to every single released, this is another side of my writing. Or rather, this is the face of my writing outside of well-defined projects! I’ll let you decide which is the ‘real’ voice… whatever that may mean.

Book Synopsis The Making Of by : Brecht Evens

Download or read book The Making Of written by Brecht Evens. This book was released on 2017-11-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peterson, a moderately successful artist, is finally given a chance to shine at the Beerpoele biennial festival. However, upon arrving in the village, he realises the festival is a little more amateur and its organisers a little more laid-back than he had expected. Still hoping for his fifteen minutes of fame, Peterson takes matters into his own hands and tries to rally the other participants with a grandiose project. It will not go to plan. The Making Of is a graphic novel like no other. It explodes from the confines of the page with the unique and unmistakable style that has made Brecht Evens an international sensation.
