American Stutter: 2019-2021
Author: STEVE. ERICKSON
Publisher: Zerogram Press
ISBN: 9781953409102
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
As Jonathan Lethem put, Steve Erickson's journal of the last 18 months of the Trump Presidency "sears the page." Erickson, one of our finest novelists, has long been an astute political observer, and American Stutter, part political declaration, part humorous account of more personal matters, offers a particularly moving reminder of the democratic ideals that we are currently struggling to preserve. Written with wit, eloquence, and a controlled fury as event unfold, Erickson has left us with an essential record of our recent history, a book to be read with our collective breath held.* Steve Erickson is the author of ten novels and two books about American culture. For 12 years he was founding editor of the national literary journal Black Clock. Currently he is the film/television critic for Los Angeles magazine and a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Riverside. He has received a Guggenheim fellowship, the American Academy of Arts and Letters award, and the Lannan Lifetime Achievement award.

Seven Years in Southern Abyssinia
Author: Sir Arnold Wienholt Hodson
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1789124085
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
CAPTAIN HODSON was sent in 1914 to establish the first British Consulate in Southern Abyssinia, his immediate purpose being to safeguard the timid Boran tribes and the elephants of Kenya Colony against further raids across the border. His appointment was agreed to with some reluctance on the part of the Ethiopian government, partly because it was a reflection on that government's capacity to control the acts of its own peoples, but largely because of the ingrained and not altogether unfounded suspicion that all such appointments are symptomatic of the desire of Europeans to increase their influence in the last and only indigenous independent State in Africa. To add to Capt. Hodson's difficulties, he increased suspicion of his motives by having to enter Abyssinia from the south—the railway from Jubito to Addis Ababa was not then constructed—as there is a legend among the peoples of Abyssinia that it is from the south that the white man will eventually overrun their country. The fact that it took the author nearly six years to establish his consulate, although the ruler at Addis Ababa ostensibly favoured the project from the outset, is not a reflection upon his courage, negotiating skill, or determination, but an indication of the state of chaos of the country and the contempt for Europeans which existed.
