Stupidity / Ronell, Avital ; Adorno T ; Acker K ; Artaud A ; Barthes R ; Beckett S ; Benjamin W ; Derrida J ; Heidegger M ; Joyce J ; Valery P ; Eckersley R., 2002

Scope and Contents
The jacket design was done by Richard Eckersley.Diane Davis Amazon.com. Avital Ronell is one of the most provocative, street-savvy, and theoretically sophisticated thinkers of this age. If you've not yet encountered her explosive work (her other books: Dictations, The Telephone Book, Crack Wars, Finitude's Score), Stupidity will most definitely blow you away. And if you are already a die-hard Ronell fan, Stupidity will ... blow you away. (No amount of prep will brace you sufficiently.) Like Ronell's other works, Stupidity offers a kind of post-critical or nonrepresentational analysis, going after a seemingly recognizable and knowable signifier (stupidity) but tracking it so closely that it quickly becomes unrecognizable, exceeding its object-status, overflowing itself as a concept. Explicitly breaking with scholarly tradition, a tradition that over-values mastery and certitude, Ronell engages her "object" of study at the level of its radical singularity, tracking it through poets,...

Scope and Contents
William H. Gass and John Updike contributed critical essays. Publishers Weekly 2007 "In this hefty volume, novelist Friedman takes a look at the artwork of more than 200 authors who found other avenues for expression in drawing, painting or sculpting. Aside from the familiar illustrations of Edward Gorey, Beatrix Potter and (to a lesser extent) Kurt Vonnegut, Friedman also unearths work from literary heavyweights past and present, including the Bronte sisters, Herman Hesse, Rudyard Kipling, Colleen McCullough, Vladamir Nabokov, John Updike and Jonathan Lethem. Each entry offers a short biography and passages from journals, letters or interviews illuminating the author's reasons for picking up pen or paint; according to Elizabeth Bishop, for instance, writers make a "frequent complaint that painting is more fun than writing." Examples of authors' art, one or two from each subject, are handsomely reproduced in vivid color alongside the text. Friedman also covers a long list of...

Transgressions: The Iowa Anthology of Innovative Fiction / Montgomery, Lee, editor ; Hussman, Mary, editor ; Hamilton, David, editor ; Gass W ; Acker K ; Federman R ; Sukenick R., 1994
Item
Identifier: CC-27663-28746
Scope and Contents
William Gass contributes an introduction to the collection titled "Anywhere But Kansas" in which he describes the innovative fiction texts as "exploratory." He states that "explorational fiction records an often painful and disappointing journey, possibly of discovery, possibly of empty sailing: yet never toward what may lie out of sight in the self, since that is what improvisation discloses, but of what lies still unappreciated in the landscape of literature - implications unperceived, conclusions undrawn, directions everyone has failed to follow." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
