The Face: Cartography of the Void【電子書籍】[ Chris Abani ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>“A fascinating meditation on identity that explores the novelist’s own mixed heritage and mixed feelings….A true citizen of the world….With great insight and compassion, Abani reveals that behind hisーand everyーface are unseen scars.” ー<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></strong></p> <p>In <em>The Face: Cartography of the Void</em>, acclaimed Nigerian-born author and poet Chris Abani has given us a profound and gorgeously wrought short memoir that navigates the stories written upon his own face. Beginning with his early childhood immersed in the Igbo culture of West Africa, Abani unfurls a lushly poetic, insightful, and funny narrative that investigates the roles that race, culture, and language play in fashioning our sense of self.</p> <p>As Abani so lovingly puts it, he contemplates “all the people who have touched my face, slapped it, punched it, kissed it, washed it, shaved it. All of that human contact must leave some trace, some of the need and anger that motivated that touch. This face is softened by it all. Made supple by all the wonder it has beheld, all the kindness, all the generosity of life.” <em>The Face: Cartography of the Void</em> is a gift to be read, re-read, shared, and treasured, from an author at the height of his artistic powers.</p> <p>Alternately philosophical, funny, personal, political, and poetic, the short memoirs in The Face series offer unique perspectives from some of our favorite writers.

Smoking the Bible【電子書籍】[ Chris Abani ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>An award-winning author of numerous books, Chris Abani moves between his Igbo ancestry and migration to the United States in poems that evoke the holiness of grief through the startling, central practice of inhaling an immolated Bible.</strong></p> <p><em>Smoking the Bible</em> is an arresting collection of poems thick with feeling, shaped by Chris Abani’s astounding command of form and metaphor. These poems reveal the personal story of two brothersーone elegizing the otherーand the larger story of a man in exile: exile of geography, culture, and memory. What we experience in this emotionally generous collection is a deep spiritual reckoning that draws on ancient African traditions of belief, and an intellectual vivacity drawing on various wisdom literatures and traditions. Abani illustrates the connective geography between harm, regret, and release, as poems move through landscapes of Nigeria, the Midwestern United States, adulthood, and childhood. One has the sense of entering a whole and complex world of the imagination in reading this collection. There is no artifice here, no affectation; and these poems are a study in the very grace of image.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【古本】 Graceland - Chris Abani (Picador) 【紙書籍】 9780312425289
Roundabout Books

タイトル: Graceland著者: Chris Abani出版社: Picador出版日: 2005年01月26日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Graceland is a dazzling debut by a singular new talent The sprawling, swampy, cacophonous city of Lagos, Nigeria, provides the backdrop to the story of Elvis, a teenage Elvis impersonator hoping to make his way out of the ghetto. Broke, beset by floods, and beatings by his alcoholic father, and with no job opportunities in sight, Elvis is tempted by a life of crime. Thus begins his odyssey into the dangerous underworld of Lagos, guided by his friend Redemption and accompanied by a restless hybrid of voices including The King of Beggars, Sunday, Innocent and Comfort. Ultimately, young Elvis, drenched in reggae and jazz, and besotted with American film heroes and images, must find his way to a GraceLand of his own. Nuanced, lyrical, and pitch perfect, Abani has created a remarkable story of a son and his father, and an examination of postcolonial Nigeria where the trappings of American culture reign supreme. A richly detailed, poignant, and utterly fascinating look into another culture and how it is cross-pollinated by our own. It brings to mind the work of Ha Jin in its power and revelation of the new.--T. Coraghessan Boyle

The Face Cartography of the Void【電子書籍】[ Chris Abani ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Description</p> <p>In The Face: Cartography of the Void, acclaimed poet, novelist, and screenwriter Chris Abani has given us a brief memoir that is, in the best tradition of the genre, also an exploration of the very nature of identity. Abani meditates on his own face, beginning with his early childhood that was immersed in the Igbo culture of West Africa. The Face is a lush work of art that teems with original and profound insights into the role of race, culture, and language in fashioning our sense of self. Abani’s writing is poetic, filled with stories, jokes, and reflections that draw readers into his fold; he invites them to explore their own “faces” and the experiences that have shaped them.</p> <p>As Abani so lovingly puts it, this extended essay contemplates “all the people who have touched my face, slapped it, punched it, kissed it, washed it, shaved it. All of that human contact must leave some trace, some of the need and anger that motivated that touch. This face is softened by it all. Made supple by all the wonder it has beheld, all the kindness, all the generosity of life. The Face is a gift to be read, re-read, shared, and treasured, from an author at the height of his artistic powers. Abani directs his gaze both inward and out toward the world around him, creating a self-portrait in which readers will also see their own faces reflected.</p> <p>Abani’s essay is part of a groundbreaking new series from Restless Books called The Face, in which a diverse group of writers takes readers on a guided tour of that most intimate terrain: their own faces. Visit www.restlessbooks.com/the-face-series for more information.</p> <p>Reviews</p> <p>“Chris Abani might be the most courageous writer working right now. There is no subject matter he finds daunting, no challenge he fears. Aside from that, he’s stunningly prolific and writes like an angel. If you want to get at the molten heart of contemporary fiction, Abani is the starting point.”</p> <p>ーDave Eggers</p> <p>“Abani is a force to be reckoned with, a world-class novelist and poet.”</p> <p>ーRussell Banks, author of Lost Memory of Skin</p> <p>“Abani has the energy, ambition and compassion to create a novel that delineates and illuminates a complicated, dynamic, deeply fractured society.”</p> <p>ーLos Angeles Times</p> <p>“Abani [is] a fluid, closely observant writer.”</p> <p>ーThe Washington Post</p> <p>“A master, a literary shaman.”</p> <p>ーBrad Kessler, author of Birds in Fall</p> <p>“Abani is a fiction writer of mature and bounteous gifts.”</p> <p>ーThe New York Times</p> <p>“Abani writes in a fearless prose.”</p> <p>ーTime Out Chicago</p> <p>About the Author</p> <p>Chris Abani is a novelist, poet, essayist, screenwriter, and playwright.

<p><em><strong>A breathtaking novella from the award-winning author of Song for Night and GraceLand.</strong></em></p> <p>ーA <em>New York Times</em> Editors’ Choice</p> <p>“Moody, lyrical prose reminiscent of Toni Morrison’s <em>Beloved</em> . . .

Toward a Living Archive of African Poetry: Kwame Dawes and Chris Abani on the New-Generation African Poets Chapbook Series【電子書籍】[ Kwame Dawes ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong><em>Celebrating ten years of New-Generation African Poets,</em> Toward a Living Archive of African Poetry <em>presents Kwame Dawes and Chris Abani’s unprecedented disquisition on the state of African poetry.</em></strong></p> <p><em><strong>TOWARD A LIVING ARCHIVE OF AFRICAN POETRY</strong></em> collects Kwame Dawes’s and Chris Abani’s introductory essays for the New-Generation African Poets Chapbook Box Set Series. These essays are conversations that celebrate the work of emerging African poets and buildーmeticulously and with principled careーa vision of a pluralistic literary community in which poets may thrive. Over more than ten years, Dawes and Abani have offered readers a glimpse into their editorial labor and philosophy, which are guided by generosity and curiosity and trust in the work of African poets. Dawes’s and Abani’s editorial labor is a gift, an expansive curation that honors the past, present, and future of African literature.</p> <p>In 2024, the APBF celebrates the publication of the tenth edition of the New-Generation African Poets Chapbooks Box Sets. Each of the box sets, edited by Kwame Dawes and Chris Abani, feature a selection of chapbooks by emerging African authors who have not yet published a full-length collection of poetry.</p> <p>Many thought-provoking threads related to African poetics appear across the essays. They advance a transnational vision of and for African poetry, one arising from their literary leadership to imagine and create a landscape in which the work of as many poets as possible can thrive, receive recognition, and be preserved for future generations. For, as they mention in their introduction to <em>NANE</em>, “the idea of a poetic community enacts the promise of being seen.”</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Sanctificum【電子書籍】[ Chris Abani ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>“Abani . . . explores place and humor, exile and freedom with poems of experience and imagination . . . [he] enters the wound with a boldness that avoids nothing. Highly recommended.” ー<em>Library Journal</em></p> <p>“Stunning poems.” ー<em>New Humanist</em></p> <p>A self-described “zealot of optimism,” poet and novelist Chris Abani bravely travels into the charged intersections of atrocity and love, politics and religion, loss and renewal. In poems of devastating beauty, he investigates complex personal history, family, and romantic love.</p> <p><em>Sanctificum</em>, Abani’s fifth collection of poetry, is his most personal and ambitious book. Utilizing religious ritual, the Nigerian Igbo language, and reggae rhythms, Abani creates a post-racial, liturgical love song that covers the globe from Abuja to Los Angeles.</p> <p><em>I say hibiscus and mean innocence.<br /> I say guava and mean childhood.<br /> I say mosquito netting and mean loss.<br /> I say father and it means only that.<br /> Happen that we all dream, but the sea is only sea.<br /> Happen that we call upon God but it is only a breeze<br /> ruffling a prayer book in a small church<br /> where benches groan in the heat . . .</em></p> <p><strong>Chris Abani</strong> was born in Nigeria in 1966 and published his first novel at sixteen. He was imprisoned for his writings, and after his release he eventually moved to the United States. He is the author of ten books of poetry and fiction, including the best-selling novel <em>GraceLand</em>.

Chris Abani【電子書籍】[ Annalisa Oboe ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>This is the first full-length book on the work of ‘global Igbo’ writer Chris Abani. The volume dedicates a chapter to each of Abani’s fiction books, the two novellas <em>Becoming Abigail</em> (2006) and <em>Song for Night</em> (2007), the three novels <em>GraceLand</em> (2004), <em>The Virgin of Flames</em> (2007), and <em>The Secret History of Las Vegas</em> (2014), which are read against the grain of Abani’s most important essays and poetical production. By combining close readings and more theoretical reflections, this volume provides a significant insight for both scholars and students interested in the literature produced by the emerging African voices in the twentieth-first century, in the debate about human rights, and in general in how aesthetics is deeply linked with ethics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Notunol A Study of Christism【電子書籍】[ Mac R Cabanilla ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The world's many religions have articles of faith that must be observed; these articles include the belief in a superior being, a faith in the afterlife, and a philosophy toward the value of life and existence. But is there more to faith than the simple belief in a god? Is there more than simply living a good life? Is there more than faith?</p> <p>In Notunol: A Study of Christism, Mac R. Cabanilla sets forth that religious faith must encompass more than just a set of beliefs. Christism is a unified concept that ties together mankind, the Holy Spirit, and the nature of the universe. This concept is the Nature of the Universe, Nature of Life (Notunol), and Cabanilla presents this as a study of the very nature of life, god and faith. In this view of the universe, existence is shown to be the combination of physical reality and the immaterial forces, both nature of Gods. It is this combination presents the true nature and object of faith. Cabanilla even shows that study of mathematics cannot reveal the universal truth and faith.</p> <p>This exhaustive study of Christism reveals that there is much more to faith than simply believing in a religious doctrine. In Christism, man must come to understand the interrelationships between the material, the immaterial, and the spiritual; only then can man truly understand the nature of the universe and the nature of life, Notunol.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
