Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Unheimlich children of Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde, the Modernist Novel and a decadent despairing of it, Aaron Kunin's characters are embodied by speech--witty, philosophical, narratological. They speak and they think, occasionally, about problems of the novel, but just as often about slights, real or imagined; originary issues of form and content; things to eat and drink. They are walking mind-body problems. The volume of psychological realism and emotional force they acquire as they go along in fraught relation to one another comes therefore as a surprise boon, a delirious trick, a happy byproduct of their unimaginable contextualization in a Minneapolis they do not quite inhabit. …

Paperback. Condition: New. The poems in Folding Ruler Star are conceived as a value-neutral Paradise Lost. In other words, someone who is not God tells you to avoid a certain tree, and you disobey the instruction; the result is shame. Two characters agree that one of them is supposed to worship and obey the other without actually believing that the other possesses any special qualities that would enforce obedience; the first one disobeys the second one and has to be punished. A body has five parts; each part is alarmed. Descriptions of the parts set off the alarms. Affect lives in the face and is measured with a ruler. The measure is a five-syllable line arranged in three-line units. Each poem is mirrored by another poem with the same title.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Love Three is a study of a seventeenth-century devotional poem by George Herbert; an essay on eroticizing power; and a memory palace of sexual experiences, fantasies, preferences, and limits-with Herbert's poem as the key. It is unlike anything you have ever read-a deep, attentive reading of a text and a broad analysis (personal, historical, philosophical) of humanity's most enduring theme. …

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Aaron Kunins Gedichte sind von schockierender Nähe und kühler Distanz, fesselnd und abweisend zugleich. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Göttlichkeit und Missgeschick, romantischer Liebe und körperlicher Attraktion beleuchten sie mit schneidender Intelligenz und sprachlicher Strenge die eigenen Sehnsüchte und Unzulänglichkeiten. Statt konkreter Figuren entsteht ein komplexes System schlechter Angewohnheiten, raffinierter Sprachspiele, die vielleicht nichts weiter sind als die 'Erfindung einer Maschine, die die Sehnsucht verbirgt'. Der Gedichtband 'Unangebrachte Direktheit' stellt in der deutschen Übersetzung von Nicolai Kobus eine repräsentative Auswahl aus Kunins lyrischem Werk vor, das zwischen 2005 und 2014 bei Fence Books (USA) erschienen ist. Aaron Kunin, geboren 1973 in Minneapolis, MIN/USA, unterrichtet englische Literatur am Pomona College in Claremont, Kalifornien, er lebt und arbeitet als Schriftsteller und Kulturjournalist in Los Angeles. Zu seinen Veröffentlichungen zählen Gedicht- und Prosabände, zuletzt erschien Cold Genius bei Fence Books, 2014. Aaron Kunin war 2013/2014 Stipendiat der Akademie Schloss Solitude.…

Paperback. Condition: New. What if the Renaissance had the right idea about character? Most readers today think that characters are individuals. Poets of the Renaissance understood characters as types. They thought the job of a character was to collect every example of a kind, in the same way that an entry in a dictionary collects definitions of a word. Character as Form celebrates the old meaning of character. The advantage of the old meaning is that it allows for generalization. Characters funnel whole societies of beings into shapes that are compact, elegant, and portable. This book tests the old meaning of character against modern examples from poems, novels, comics, and performances in theater and film by Shakespeare, Molière, Austen, the Marx Brothers, Raul Ruiz, Denton Welch, and Lynda Barry. The heart of the book is the character of the misanthrope, who, in Shakespeare's phrase, "banishes the world.".…
