Four New Messages【電子書籍】[ Joshua Cohen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A quartet of audacious fictions that capture the pathos and absurdity of life in the age of the internet</strong></p> <p><em>*A</em> New York Times Book <em>Review Editors' Choice*</em><br /> <em>*</em> One of Flavorwire's "50 Books That Define the Past Five Years in Literature"</p> <p>A spectacularly talented young writer has returned from the present with <em>Four New Messages</em>, urgent and visionary dispatches that seek to save art, sex, and even alienation from corporatism and technology run rampant.</p> <p>In "Emission," a hapless drug dealer in Princeton is humiliated when a cruel co-ed exposes him exposing himself on a blog gone viral. "McDonald's" tells of a frustrated pharmaceutical copywriter whose imaginative flights fail to bring solace because of a certain word he cannot put down on paper. In "The College Borough" a father visiting NYU with his daughter remembers a former writing teacher, a New Yorker exiled to the Midwest who refuses to read his students' stories, asking them instead to build a replica of the Flatiron Building. "Sent" begins mythically in the woods of Russia, but in a few virtuosic pages plunges into the present, where an aspiring journalist finds himself in a village that shelters all the women who've starred in all the internet porn he's ever enjoyed.</p> <p>Highbrow and low-down, these four intensely felt stories explain what happens when the virtual begins to colonize the real -- they harness the torrential power and verbal dexterity that have established Cohen as one of America's most brilliant younger writers.</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。 1,445円

A Witch's Lament【電子書籍】[ Joshua Cox-Steib ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The second installment of the series "Modern Magic" introduces us to a young witch with an unusual past. We meet here shortly after her twenty-sixth birthday. It was this day that started it all.</p> <p>This story is written in a style that eschews declarative gender labels for the protagonist within the narrative; as such, it is up to the reader to choose what labels they see fit. There is a careful balance to be maintained when providing written entertainment: the goal is to encourage the reader's imagination without restricting it. A task easier said than done, as the very nature of writing fiction is about constructing imaginative artificial boundaries. This style is an experiment towards balance, and an attempt to make protagonists more universally approachable for the readers in this increasingly diverse world of ours.</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。 112円

How to Do Things with Fictions【電子書籍】[ Joshua Landy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Why does Mark's Jesus speak in parables? Why does Plato's Socrates make bad arguments? Why are Beckett's novels so inscrutable? And why don't stage magicians even pretend to summon spirits anymore? In a series of captivating chapters on Mark, Plato, Beckett, Mallarm?, and Chaucer, Joshua Landy not only answers these questions but explains why they are worth asking in the first place. Witty and approachable, <em>How to Do Things with Fictions</em> challenges the widespread assumption that literary texts must be informative or morally improving in order to be of any real benefit. It reveals that authors are sometimes best thought of not as entertainers or as educators but as personal trainers of the brain, putting their willing readers through exercises designed to fortify specific mental capacities, from form-giving to equanimity, from reason to faith. Delivering plenty of surprises along the way--that moral readings of literature can be positively dangerous; that the parables were deliberately designed to be misunderstood; that Plato knowingly sets his main character up for a fall; that metaphor is powerfully connected to religious faith; that we can sustain our beliefs even when we suspect them to be illusions--<em>How to Do Things with Fictions</em> convincingly shows that our best allies in the struggle for more rigorous thinking, deeper faith, richer experience, and greater peace of mind may well be the imaginative writings sitting on our shelves.</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。 5,480円

Joshua in a Troubled World A Story for Our Time【電子書籍】[ Joseph F. Girzone ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The bestselling <em>Joshua</em> series takes an invigorating, timely new turn as Girzone’s beloved hero spreads his message of love and compassion from the streets of our nation’s capital to the blood-soaked lands of the Middle East.<br /> Joseph Girzone possesses a unique ability to make Jesus’ words and actions come to life for contemporary audiences. His fictional depictions of Jesus’ return to the present-day worldーthe Joshua seriesーhave inspired millions of readers. <em>Joshua in a Troubled World</em> is at once a magnificent continuation of his perennially popular series and an enlightening perspective on the political paranoia and destructive acts of vengeance that fill the front pages of our daily newspapers. Arriving in Washington, D.C., Joshua walks along Pennsylvania Avenue with a cool detachment and determination that sets him apart from the bustling crowds. Under ordinary circumstances, he would no doubt be seen simply as a man wrapped in his own thoughts. But in these security-obsessed times, his Middle Eastern appearance and his spontaneous stops at various churches, temples, and mosques inevitably arouse suspicions. Taken into custody by two government agents, Joshua challenges the legal and moral justness of their actions and they reluctantly release him to continue his mission. It is the most difficult and controversial mission he has ever undertakenーa plan to unite Arab- and Jewish-Americans and to work with them to resolve the bitter wars and religious animosities in the Middle East. Peopled with prominent figures such as Ariel Sharon, and moving from Washington to Beirut and then to Oslo while the peace accords are being hammered out, <em>Joshua in a Troubled World</em> explores the most explosive issues of our day and offers a realistic, compassionate assessment of the things that divide us and the beliefs that can serve as a foundation for a new, more peaceful world.</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。 939円

I Even Drove Her to Her Ex's Stolen Girlfriends【電子書籍】[ Joshua Down ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>At first, I wasn't watching, I wasn't parked there to spy. It was just coincidence, the way the driveway angled, the way the trees thinned out. I only noticed the broad front window because I inched forward, just a few more feet.<br /> Through that narrow gap in the branches, I saw movement. I was staring, blank, distracted, mind full of her. And then, she appeared.<br /> Nina. Right there in the middle of the guy's living room. I startled like I'd been caught, even though I hadn't. No way she could see me.</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。 450円

A New Philosophy of Discourse Language Unbound【電子書籍】[ Joshua Kates ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What would happen if structures, forms, and other stand-alone entities thought to comprise our intellectual toolkit-words, meanings, signs-were jettisoned? How would a work written in a purportedly dead language, like <em>The Iliad</em>, or penned in a foreign tongue be approached if deemed legible without structures such as meaning-bearing signs or grammatical rules?</p> <p><em>A New Philosophy of Discourse</em> charts a novel course in response to these questions, coining an original concept of discourse, or talk!, that Joshua Kates presents as more fundamental than language. In Kates' conception of discourse, writing and speech take shape entirely as events, situated within histories, contexts, and traditions themselves always in the making. Combining literary theory, literary criticism, and philosophy, to reveal a new perspective on discourse, Kates focuses on literary criticism, literary texts by Charles Bernstein and Stanley Elkin, and the philosophical writings of Stanley Cavell, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Donald Davidson and Martin Heidegger.</p> <p>This ground-breaking study bridges the analytical/continental divide, by working through concrete problems using novel and extended interpretations with wide-ranging implications for the humanities.</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。 5,050円

English Fictions of Communal Identity, 1485?1603【電子書籍】[ Joshua Phillips ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Challenging a long-standing trend that sees the Renaissance as the end of communal identity and constitutive group affiliation, author Joshua Phillips explores the perseverance of such affiliation throughout Tudor culture. Focusing on prose fiction from Malory's Morte Darthur through the works of Sir Philip Sidney and Thomas Nashe, this study explores the concept of collective agency and the extensive impact it had on English Renaissance culture. In contrast to studies devoted to the myth of early modern individuation, English Fictions of Communal Identity, 1485-1603 pays special attention to primary communities-monastic orders, printing house concerns, literary circles, and neighborhoods-that continued to generate a collective sense of identity. Ultimately, Phillips offers a new way of theorizing the relation between collaboration and identity. In terms of literary history, this study elucidates a significant aspect of novelistic discourse, even as it accounts for the institutional disregard of often brilliant works of early modern fiction.</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。 8,866円

Quattro nuovi messaggi【電子書籍】[ Joshua Cohen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Mono, sfortunato spacciatore di cocaina nel campus di Princeton, viene ridicolizzato in un blog diventato virale. Un copywriter frustrato vede esaurirsi la propria vena creativa a causa di una certa parola, ubiqua e fagocitante, che proprio non riesce a scrivere. Un ex scrittore newyorkese riciclatosi professore universitario accetta un incarico nella provincia americana, e coinvolge i suoi studenti in un assurdo progetto di rivalsa sulla citt? che l'ha esiliato. Un aspirante giornalista si lancia sulle tracce di una ragazza vista in un filmato porno, in un viaggio che lo porter? in un distorto Paese delle meraviglie in cui ci? che ? finito online una sola volta vive per sempre. Quattro racconti in cui Joshua Cohen mostra cosa succede quando il virtuale colonizza il reale, cercando, come nel mastodontico Libro dei numeri, di salvare la scrittura, l'arte, il sesso e s?, anche l'alienazione, dalla dilagante ossessione per i brand e la tecnologia.</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。 1,500円

The Mission【電子書籍】[ Joshua K Roberts ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In its purest form, the book chronicles the evolution of Holton, a non believer, into a believer within the context of a plot driven, action adventure book. When not running for their lives, the novel deals with major Christian issues including: why believe in a God, why Jesus is significant and creationism. The novel also deals with several issues relevant in the Christian church today, including discussions on disputable matters such as drinking alcohol, tithing, how the church should deal with homosexuality and whether Jesus would be a Democrat or a Republican. The novel opens with a homosexual character hanging himself after being asked to leave the church due to his sexual preference. It follows with a brief chapter on each of the four main characters, including the pastor of the sponsoring mission church. The missionaries meet at the church and discuss the country they are visiting, the plans for the trip, the gear they are taking and the travel itinerary. The Americans then journey to Africa where they miss their transfer and are left to walk the last few miles to their intended destination. A great storm and darkness forces them to take refuge in a nearby primitive village called Tro Kossi. Come morning they learn of their misstep into a forbidden temple area and discover they are being held hostage in the temple area until sundown of the second night when they will be sacrificed to the voodoo gods for the trespass. Overnight, the man who hung himself in the first chapter of the book, shows up in a dream and gives the pastor some cryptic numbers which prove indispensable in their escape from the temple through an abandoned mine located thereunder. While escaping, one of the missionaries sets off an explosion which kills several villagers and raises their commitment to capturing the Americans to a whole new level. Once the missionaries escape from the mine, they head north and ultimately meet up with Christop?, the local missionary that they had intended to spend time with upon their arrival in Benin. Unfortunately, the Tro Kossi got there first and the Americans are turned over to two villagers to be marched back to the village for execution in a tribal ceremony. The balance of the book finds the missionaries escaping yet again and heading for the river where Christop? has stashed a boat for their use. The Tro Kossi ultimately track down the Americans and when they are about to kill them, Christop? shows up to save the day, or so it would seem, as not all of the missionaries escape Africa with their lives. Throughout the adventure, there are numerous conversations between the three Christians and the skeptic. The skeptic grows in his belief in God until ultimately, as he lies dying in the bottom of a boat, Jesus appears in a dream to solidify his transformation into a believer. Ultimately, Holton returns to the States to deliver a message at a funeral that lets everyone know the death was not in vain. The book closes with Christop? returning home to discover his home ransacked and he is left wondering if the Tro Kossi are planning to seek revenge back in the States.</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。 1,232円

Joshua Springs【電子書籍】[ Julian Gallo ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Sometime between President Carter’s ‘Malaise’ and the dawn of the Reagan era, Queens, New York. A generation of mostly ‘latch key kids’ find themselves on their own, indulging in every vice available to them. Drugs, music, sex, it’s all there for the taking, since no one is looking. It is a forgotten generation, left to its own devices, exposed to the crumbling aftermath of the ‘Age of Aquarius’ their elders left in their wake. Two boys in particular ー the unnamed narrator and his friend Tad ー navigate these changing times through drugs, sex, music, comic books, and taking a long hiatus from the nightmare of junior high school. Each morning they hang out in the woods near the local park getting high and playing games as they wait for Tad’s mother to go to work so they can have the house to themselves. One morning they discover something that will terrify them and make them question the very nature of those around them.</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。 585円

The Wilshire Sun【電子書籍】[ Joshua Baldwin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>“Like the naive main characters in so many American novels and filmsーsay, Nathanael West’s <em>The Day of the Locust</em> and David Lynch’s <em>Mulholland Drive</em>ーBaldwin’s Jacob discovers Los Angeles is much different than he expected. . . . In [his] delightful novella, disarming slackers live life on their terms, bringing to mind younger versions of <em>The Big Lebowski.”</em>ーMinneapolis <em>Star Tribune</em></p> <p>“With his surreal and paranoid debut novella, Baldwin makes a solid contribution to the subset of literature that explores the Hollywood dream . . . treating readers to a tantalizing glimpse beyond the edge of sanity.”ー<em>Publishers Weekly</em></p> <p>"Baldwin's characters search for fame in the shape-shifting landscape of Hollywood. He has a voice that follows the mirage even after it disappears. <em>The Wilshire Sun</em> is a surreal, giddily original debut that plumbs the myth of Los Angeles."ーJames Frey</p> <p><em>The Wilshire Sun</em> is a mirthful novella about a whimsical, hapless, over-aspiring, under-achieving young writer from Brooklyn who moves to Los Angeles hoping to write for the movies. With understated deadpan humor and dynamic, sly, original language and off-kilter imagery, Joshua Baldwin has created a novella that may remind readers of an improbable roundtable meeting of Tao Lin, James Thurber, S.J. Perelman, and Jack Benny. The elements of the novella's constitutionーclipped pieces of fast-paced immediate narrative interspersed with epistolary matter and off-the-cuff riffs on junk food, screenwriting, Walt Whitman, big brothers, bum grandfathers, and crackpot friendsーoffer a delightfully absurd portrait of the artist as a young man for our times in the City of Angels.</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。 1,418円
