Duende
Author: Jason Webster
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1407094610
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Having pursued a conventional enough path through school and university, Jason Webster was all set to enter the world of academe as a profession. But when his aloof Florentine girlfriend of some years dumped him unceremoniously, he found himself at a crossroads. Abandoning the world of libraries and the future he had always imagined for himself, he headed off instead for Spain in search of duende, the intense emotional state - part ecstasy, part desperation - so intrinsic to flamenco. Duende is an account of his years spent in Spain feeding his obsessive interest in flamenco: he subjects himself to the tyranny of his guitar teacher, practising for hours on end until his fingers bleed; he becomes involved in a passionate affair with Lola, a flamenco dancer (and older woman) married to the gun-toting Vicente, only to flee Alicante in fear of his life; in Madrid, he falls in with Gypsies and meets the imperious Jesús. Joining their dislocated, cocaine-fuelled world, stealing cars by night and sleeping away the days in tawdry rooms, he finds himself spiralling self-destructively downwards. It is only when he arrives in Granada bruised and battered, after two years total immersion in the flamenco lifestyle that he is able to put his obsession into context. In the tradition of Laurie Lee's classic As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, Duende charts a young man's emotional coming of age and offers real insight into the passionate essence of flamenco.

Duende
Author: Tracy K. Smith
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1555978649
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
The award-winning second collection by the Poet Laureate of the United States Duende, that dark and elusive force described by Federico García Lorca, is the creative and ecstatic power an artist seeks to channel from within. It can lead the artist toward revelation, but it must also, Lorca says, accept and even serenade the possibility of death. Tracy K. Smith's bold second poetry collection explores history and the intersections of folk traditions, political resistance, and personal survival. Duende gives passionate testament to suppressed cultures, and allows them to sing.

""In this bold and electric contemporary novella a teenage expat on the cusp of womanhood is caught between 2 worlds: her childhood in Detroit, where her family's troubled history haunts her, and her year in Seville, where a missing girl populates the periphery of her attention. Suspended by the rhythm of flamenco, lava, our heroine, is self-reliant by necessity, and her sentimental education examines a body in flux. In intoxicating prose,...Poppe shows us the links between twin mysteries, how trauma can reverate through a life, how a girl becomes a woman." -- Kate Wisel, author of Driving in Cars with Homeless Men, 2019 Winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize"--
