Say Something Back and Time Lived, Without Its Flow - Denise Riley - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Say Something Back and Time Lived, Without Its Flow - Denise Riley - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

‘She’s one of the best poets around’ – Andrew Motion, former Poet Laureate of the United KingdomPart poetry collection, part consolation, Say Something Back and Time Lived, Without Its Flow collects Denise Riley’s moving documents of loss and grief together for the first time. Rocked by the horrific experience of maternal grief, Denise Riley wrote the much-celebrated Say Something Back , in which the poet-philosopher contemplates the natural world and physical law, and considers what it means to invoke those who are absent. These are poems which expand our sense of human speech and what it can mean, of what is drawn forth from us when we address our dead.These lyric poems and elegies are accompanied by the beautiful, unflinching Time Lived, Without Its Flow . Diary entries written after receiving news of her adult son’s death are woven into a life portrait of loss. A ruminative post-script to these diaries follows, in which Riley examines the experience with a philosopher’s precision, mapping through it a literature of consolation.Published in a single volume for the first time, Say Something Back and Time Lived, Without Its Flow offers with remarkable grace and insight kind counsel to all those living in the wake of grief.

Valparaiso - Don Delillo - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Valparaiso - Don Delillo - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In Valparaiso , a breathtaking play from Don DeLillo, a man sets out on what he imagines will be an ordinary business trip to Valparaiso, Indiana. It proves to be anything but run-of-the-mill, turning instead into a mock-heroic journey toward identity and transcendence. Valparaiso is a funny, sharp and deeply satirical look at our information age. This is the way we talk to each other today. This is the way we tell each other things, in public, before listening millions, that we don''t dare say privately. Nothing is allowed to be unseen. Nothing remains unread. And everything melts repeatedly into something else, as if driven by the finger on the TV remote. This is also a play that makes obsessive poetry out of the language of routine airline announcements and the flow of endless information.

Land's Edge - Tim Winton - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Land's Edge - Tim Winton - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

On childhood holidays to the western coast, Tim Winton’s days followed a joyous rhythm. In the mornings, the sun and surf kept him outside, in the water. In the afternoons, as the horizon wobbled with mirages and the wind came in from the ocean, he was driven inside, to books. In the ‘simple, peculiar shack’ that his family borrowed each year there was a small library: a room with four walls of books, a world unto itself. Land''s Edge: A Coastal Memoir is a beautiful delicate memoir in which Winton writes about his obsession with what happens where the water meets the shore – about diving, dunes, beachcombing – and the sense of being on the precarious, wondrous edge of things that haunts his novels. It is a book about the ebb and flow that became a way of life, and that shaped one of our finest writers. ‘Both a serial romantic and a truly gifted novelist’ - Mariella Frostrup, Mail on Sunday.

In a Free State - V. S. Naipaul - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In a Free State - V. S. Naipaul - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Winner of the Booker Prize 1971 and nominated for the Golden Man Booker Prize in 2018. In a Free State tells the story first of an Indian servant in Washington, who becomes an American citizen but feels he has ceased to be a part of the flow. Then of a disturbed Asian West Indian in London who, in jail for murder, has never really known where he is. Then the central novel moves to Africa, to a fictional country somewhere like Uganda or Rwanda. The novel''s central characters once found Africa liberating, but now it has gone sour on them. The land is no longer safe, and at a time of tribal conflict they have to make the long drive to the safety of their compound. At the end of this drive – the narrative tight, wonderfully constructed, the formal and precise language always instilled with violence and rage – we know everything about the English characters, the African country and the Idi Amin-like future awaiting it. This is one of V. S. Naipaul’s greatest novels, hard but full of pity. This is a story about displacement, the yearning for the good place in someone else’s land and the attendant heartache.

Crucible of Light - Elizabeth Drayson - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Crucible of Light - Elizabeth Drayson - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In Crucible of Light , Elizabeth Drayson pulls together the epic interwoven history of the Muslim and Christian worlds over an eight-hundred-year span, taking in the conquest and re-conquest of Spain, the meteoric rise of Arabo-Norman Sicily, the Ottoman renaissance of the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the ebb and flow of Balkan history and the fate of contested islands like Cyprus and Malta, with their very different outcomes.Focusing on major turning points, individual stories and key places, from Mecca to Cordoba, from Damascus to Venice, and from Vienna to Istanbul, Drayson tracks the themes that unite us – classical learning preserved in Islamic libraries, the enduring influence of Moorish architecture and design, the food we share, the goods we have traded and the continuing discourse between individuals and cultures that has permeated Europe’s history and shaped its borders.Drayson also explores the growing dialogue between Muslims and Christians across Europe today, a dialogue prefigured in the history of medieval and early modern Europe, in which harmony and enlightenment rise above perennial conflicts. These ideas challenge the way contemporary European identity is defined and point to the vital impact of Islamic civilization upon the continent.Surprisingly few people are aware of how much Europe owes to its Islamic heritage except via pockets of tourism, and this book aims to correct that while exploring the endless complexities thrown up by this vexed relationship. At a time when Islam is so narrowly identified with terrorism and migration in Europe it is a necessary corrective.

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here - Jonathan Blitzer - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

''Urgent, extraordinary . . . a tribute to the astonishing indomitability of the human spirit.'' - Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author Empire of Pain ''Moving, sweeping, and masterful'' - Sally Hayden, author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned New Yorker journalist Jonathan Blitzer has been covering the immigration crisis at America’s southern border for nearly a decade, but the current emergency is the end of a much larger story. In this, his first book, Blitzer goes back to the beginning: to the shadowy civil wars in El Salvador and Guatemala in the 1980s; to the American prison system in the 1990s and the policies of mass deportation that transformed local street criminals into international crime syndicates; to Honduras’s brutal crackdown on crime in the 2000s and the emergence of gangs across Central America and the United States. And then the Trump era, in which immigration became a vector of resurgent populism, with mass internments the order of the day. Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here is a fresh and full account of America’s immigration problems, but it is much more than that. It is an odyssey of struggle and resilience, telling the epic story of people whose lives ebb and flow across the border and those who help and hinder them. It is a gripping and persuasive attempt to answer not only the question of how America got there, but the vital question of who we are and who we want to be in our liberal Western democracies, whether we are incarcerating children on our southern borders or watching them drown on the shores of the Mediterranean. ''A searing, gut-wrenching, and masterfully reported account of one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twenty-first century.'' - Jill Lepore, New York Times bestselling author of These Truths: A History of the United States
