Manhattan Transfer
Author: John Dos Passos
Publisher: Ediciones Cátedra
ISBN: 8437639050
Category : Fiction
Languages : es
Pages : 544
Book Description
"Manhattan Transfer" lleva el nombre del cartel que colgaba en una estación de transbordo de pasajeros, que daba servicio a la línea de Pennsylvania y a los ferrocarriles del Hudson y Manhattan. Al igual que los pasajeros que utilizaban aquel apeadero no tenían otra salida o ruta posible más que dirigirse a Manhattan o salir de Manhattan, los personajes de la novela se ven abocados a permanecer en la gran ciudad. En términos literarios convencionales, "Manhattan Transfer" podría considerarse una novela histórica panorámica. Sin embargo, es mucho más que eso: Dos Passos logró plasmar la complejísima multiplicidad de la metrópolis incorporando elementos no narrativos de la prensa y la cultura popular y desplegando varias líneas argumentales diferentes, algunas de ellas interconectadas a través de los personajes y otras completamente aisladas en fragmentos discontinuos.

American Audacity
Author: Christopher Benfey
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472025805
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
One of the foremost critics in contemporary American letters, Christopher Benfey has long been known for his brilliant and incisive essays. Appearing in such publications as the New York Review of Books, the New Republic, and the Times Literary Supplement, Benfey's writings have helped us reimagine the American literary canon. In American Audacity, Benfey gathers his finest writings on eminent American authors (including Emerson, Dickinson, Whitman, Millay, Faulkner, Frost, and Welty), bringing to his subjects---as the New York Times Book Review has said of his earlier work---"a scholar's thoroughness, a critic's astuteness and a storyteller's sense of drama." Although Benfey's interests range from art to literature to social history, this collection focuses on particular American writers and the various ways in which an American identity and culture inform their work. Broken into three sections, "Northerners,""Southerners," and "The Union Reconsidered," American Audacity explores a variety of canonical works, old (Emerson, Dickinson, Millay, Whitman), modern (Faulkner, Dos Passos), and more contemporary (Gary Snyder, E. L. Doctorow). Christopher Benfey is the author of numerous highly regarded books, including Emily Dickinson: Lives of a Poet; The Double Life of Stephen Crane; Degas in New Orleans: Encounters in the Creole World of Kate Chopin and George Washington Cable; and, most recently, The Great Wave: Gilded Age Misfits, Japanese Eccentrics, and the Opening of Old Japan. Benfey's poems have appeared in the Paris Review, Pequod, and Ploughshares. He has held fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Council of Learned Societies. Currently he is Mellon Professor of English at Mount Holyoke College. "In its vigorous and original criticism of American writers, Christopher Benfey's American Audacity displays its own audacities on every page." ---William H. Pritchard
