Posthumous Papers of a Living Author
Author: Robert MusilPublisher: Archipelago
ISBN: 1935744488
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This collection of exploratory pieces, short stories, and reflections was originally published in Zurich in 1936. It was the last volume Robert Musil published before his sudden death in 1942. Musil had begun to fathom the impossibility of com- pleting his monumental masterpiece The Man Without Qualities and this volume reveals a radically different aspect of his work. Musil observes a fly’s tragic struggle with flypaper, the laughter of a horse; he peers through microscopes and telescopes, dissecting both large and small. Musil’s quest for the essential is a voyage into the minute.
The Novel Cure
Author: Ella BerthoudPublisher: Penguin Canada
ISBN: 0143190202
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
A novel is a story, a collection of experiences transmitted from the mind of one to the mind of another. It offers a way to unwind, a way to focus, a way to learn about life—distraction, entertainment, and diversion. But it can also be something much more powerful. When read at the right time in your life, a novel can—quite literally—change it. The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. To create this apothecary, the authors have trawled through two thousand years of literature for the most brilliant minds and engrossing reads. Structured like a reference book, it allows readers to simply look up their ailment, whether it be agoraphobia, boredom, or midlife crisis, then they are given the name of a novel to read as the antidote.

John the Posthumous
Author: Jason SchwartzPublisher: OR Books
ISBN: 1939293227
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
John the Posthumous exists in between fiction and poetry, elegy and history: a kind of novella in objects, it is an anatomy of marriage and adultery, an interlocking set of fictional histories, and the staccato telling of a murder, perhaps two murders. This is a literary album of a pre-Internet world, focused on physical elements — all of which are tools for either violence or sustenance. Knives, old iron gates, antique houses in flames; Biblical citations, blood and a history of the American bed: the unsettling, half-perceived images, and their precise but alien manipulation by a master of the language will stay with readers. Its themes are familiar — violence, betrayal, failure — its depiction of these utterly original and hauntingly beautiful.

Excerpt from The Posthumous Works of the Reverend and Pious James M'gready, Late Minister of the Gospel in Henderson, Ky: Two Volumes in One But I was deceived; I have no religion; I am going to hell. In another place an old grey headed man lay in an agony of distress, addressing his weeping wife and children in such language as this: We are all going to hell together; we have lived prayer less, ungodly lives; the work of our souls is yet to begin; we must get religion, or we will all be damned. But time would fail me to mention every instance of this kind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
