Literary Criticism & Essays
A Pilgrim Muddles Through by Robert F. Brodsky. Amazon.com/books. rfoxbro@aol.com.
"“A Pilgrim Muddles Through” - being ANNALS FROM A LIFE: Merchandizing-Morality- Authorship -Law-Writer’s Workshop - Outraged Citizen – Sailing – Retirement. The stories, rants, letters, and essays in ‘PILGRIM’ represent a sometimes serious , as in “Credo of a God-Fearing Atheist, sometimes ridiculous, as in “The Hard Life Of a Poet”, and sometimes instructive, as in “Brigs I Have Known” , glimpse of modern day living. The breadth of the topics covered is enormous, written by an obvious iconoclast. You can discover how at last we can have peace in the Middle East; how to become an unsuccessful author; and how to get booked on the Goodyear Blimp; and, yes, ride a bus from Haifa to Amman on a Saturday. The stories are edified by incisive pictures and cartoons "

Conversations with American Women Writers by Sarah Anne Johnson. authorinterview@earthlink.net. www.sarahannejohnson.com
"Interviews with some of the foremost contemporary American women fiction writers. A great book club selection or companion book. Sena Jeter Naslund describes the origins of Ahab's Wife in "a vision and a voice." Ann Patchett mourns the ways in which the reality of a novel may fail to live up to her conception of it. Andrea Barrett, a winner of the National Book Award and the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, nevertheless characterizes herself as "a very clumsy writer" in her early drafts. The seventeen women interviewed by Sarah Anne Johnson are some of the most popular and accomplished writers at work today-award winners, critically acclaimed, popular with book clubs. Steeped in a thorough knowledge of each writer's work, Johnson's questions range from technical issues of craft to the nurturing of fictional ideas to the daily practice of writing. The authors offer insights into their own works that will delight their fans and also provide practical advice that will be cherished by aspiring writers. From Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's reflections on her experience of immigration to Lois-Ann Yamanaka's insights on the question of a character's voice, these interviews combine the personal with the professional experience of the writing life. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

I'll Holler At You, Personal Essays With An Edge. by S. L. Givhan. www.booksurge.com. slynn42@iwon.com. slgivhanpublishing.com

Givhan is giving humanity the scolding she feel we deserve with a collection of personal essays that bitingly express everyday frustrations many of us can identify with. "I wanted to pin the readers ears back, but honestly consider the collection to be uniquely positive. Having my own cover design topped it off. It’s ridiculous how we too often have to holler in order to be heard.” "

POIETICS : Disquisitions on the Art of Creation by T. Wignesan. www.cyberwit.net/wignesan.htm. karunesh1976@yahoo.com. www.cyberwit.net/wignesan.htm
"Author: T. Wignesan Binding: Paperback (pp: 214) ISBN: 978-81-8253-104-8 Availability: In Stock (Ships within 1 to 2 days) Publisher: Cyberwit.net Pub. Date: 2008 Condition: New Description: What is Poietics? The subject of “poietics” (la poïétique in French), with its origins in the Greek word poïein (“to make with the intellect”), deals with the science and/or the art or philosophy of creation. To French academics working in the field, the subject has variously meant one thing as a definition and another as a programme of research - from Valery’s probes into the making of a poem to Passeron’s involvement with the creator’s relations with the objet d’art during the creative act. In this book, the author attempts to lay the foundation either for the formulation of a theory or, contrariwise, for the impossibility at arriving at any such formulaic circumscription on poietics. His “Disquisitions on Poietics” serves as a theoretical inquiry into the subject at large without, however, limiting itself to the fine arts. The author adopts an open-ended approach to the concept of creation. "

"Azaan Kamau speaks about the experiences that led her to pen STUD, "Stud is a term that identifies a lesbian woman whose inner being and outer persona magnifies what society sees as masculine. In the early days of the LGBTq movement, women like me were called tomboy, stud, butch, bulldyke, bulldagger and other terms. Many such women had to endure a life filled with judgment and pain simply because of how they looked. Living in a society where how one looks often determines one's overall quality of life can make some folks feel invisible and silenced. This book gives a voice to the sometimes voiceless women who don't exactly fit with society's image of what a woman What People Are Saying About STUD "Azaan Kamau has poured her soul into the creation of STUD. Readers will be transformed and reeducated by the spiritual, literary and artistic experience of reading this book." Ifalade Ta'Shia Asanti, Urban Spectrum Newspaper "This book not only dispels the myths, it s hatters them! The Message of STUD is clear: You don't have to be a victim of any system.

"Victorian (pen-in-cheek) Vignettes Tales (not so tall) of Timmy, the (not so very polite) Malaya Hall Cat in London Author: T. Wignesan Binding: Paperback (pp: 223) ISBN: 978-81-8253-107-9 Availability: In Stock (Ships within 1 to 2 days) Publisher: Cyberwit.net Pub. Date: 2008 Condition: New Description: The Victoria Institution, a secondary school founded in Kuala Lumpur in 1893 by the British administration in close collaboration with the leaders of the three major communities: Malay, Chinese, and Indian in the capital, comes closest to upholding the British public school tradition in the region. Widely recognised as the "premier school" of the country, its established traditions and ties have stood, it might be said, the test of times. The overwhelming role of former alumni in public life attests even today - though the school has lost its former pre-Independence reputation - to time-honoured British educational policies. "
