The Space of Literature / Blanchot, Maurice ; Ann Smock, translator ; Mallarme S ; Kafka F ; Char R ; Bataille G ; Valery P ; Rimbaud A., 1982

 Item
Identifier: CC-48987-70025
Scope and Contents This book was used as the basis for Nick Thurston's experimental treatment entitled, "Reading the Removal of Literature." Amazon.com customer: "Better to read this than to read ten manuals on the subject of writing. Blanchot evokes the non-presence of death in writing, writing's necessary complicity with death. This death, however, is not the Hegelian death that would negate and finalize the subject (cf Arendt), fixing it in a form on which judgement could finally be passed. No, true to his essay on the absence of any right to death (which appears in _The Work of Fire_ and _The Station Hill Blanchot Reader_), this death never occurs. This death is never present, happens at no particular time, and happens to no one (see also _The Writing of the Disaster_). It cannot be said to happen or occur at all. It is never present, and being so, shares with writing the latter's most unearthly, strange quality - the absense of the writer and of that about which has been written. In addition to...

 Item
Identifier: CC-37769-39648
Scope and Contents

In his essay, "Pushing the envelope: Mail Art and the Michaels," Simon Anderson writes that both "Thomson and Hernandez de Luna paresent a sophisticated twist on this variegated [mail art] history, combining the random markers of official passage with a deliberate manipulation of the aesthetic involved; their small scale prints, connected to tahe much denser history of printmaking, dovetail at various points - inclusing teamwork, political humor nad tricksterism - with the fragmentary origins of art-through-the-mail, as this brief survey hopes to indicate." The illustrations depict the fake stamps and the cancelled stamps on envelopes indicating that the stamps went through the mail. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-27847-28982
Scope and Contents This book defines 74 basic forms of poetry, summarizes their histories, and quotes excellent examples. The essay on concrete poetry states that "concrete poems use space. They use sound. Instead of simply letting the words stand for something else, the words in the poem dramatize their meaning by the way they look. They draw attention to their physical appearance, ink on the page. The poem becomes a collage of words, letters, and other symbols that may or may not have something to do with the meaning we usually assign to them. [Concrete poets] see poetry as a visual of graphic art. They see it as something that can be abstract and that must be looked at in order to be understood. In trying to enhance the meaning of the poem, as well as to free the poem from what these poets see as its linguistic or verbal limitations, they have made typeface, symbol, shape, and the spatial relationships between letters, words and lines fundamental elements." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

The Tenant / Topor, Roland ; Francis K. Price, translator., 2006

 Item
Identifier: CC-52690-73826
Scope and Contents This edition includes an introduction to "The Tenant" by Thoms Ligotti, the Kafka-ish novel itself, four short stories and reproductions of nine surealistic drawing.J from NY Amazon.com: Roland Topor's "The Tenant" is nothing if not original; the author impresses his nightmarish worldview without leaving us a moment to draw breath, and as we read deeper and deeper into the tragic tale of M. Trelkovsky we can't help but share his vision, at least for the duration of the novel. I've long been a fan of the 1976 Roman Polanski film and often wondered why it was so obscure. After reading Topor's novel, I had to appreciate how beautifully Polanski translated this very complex and disturbing work to the screen. Comparing it with the movie you realize Polanski left out only what he absolutely had to, and that wasn't much. At the outset it seems that Trelkovsky is an average joe who lives in a world of material necessity, habitual discourtesy from others, and bullies. Actually I think this...
