The farther one travels (through geography, through art, through science, through time), the more everything seems to converge at least, it does if you're looking through Weschler's giddy, brilliant eyes. Weschler combines his keen insights into art, his years of experience as a chronicler of the fall of Communism, and his triumphs and failures as the father of a teenage girl into a series of essays sure to illuminate, educate, and astound.[via]More editions of Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Godard on Godard: Critical Writings by Jean-Luc Godard'Book summary:Jean-Luc Godard, like many of his European contemporaries, came to filmmaking through film criticism. This collection of essays and interviews, ranging from his early efforts for La Gazette du Cinéma to his later writings for Cahiers du Cinéma, reflects his dazzling intelligence, biting wit, maddening judgments, and complete unpredictability. In writing about Hitchcock, Welles, Bergman, Truffaut, Bresson, and Renoir, Godard is also writing about himselfhis own experiments, obsessions, discoveries. This book offers evidence that he may be even more original as a thinker about film than as a director. Covering the period of 19501967, the years of Breathless, A Woman Is a Woman, My Life to Live, Alphaville, La Chinoise, and Weekend, this book of writings is an important document and a fascinating study of a vital stage in Godards career. With commentary by Tom Milne and Richard Roud, and an extensive new foreword by Annette Michelson that reassesses Godard in light of his later films, here is an outrageous self-portrait by a director who, even now, continues to amaze and bedevil, and to chart new directions for cinema and for critical thought about its history.[via]More editions of Godard on Godard: Critical Writings by Jean-Luc Godard:

Gordon Matta-clark: Works and Collected Writingsby Gloria Moure, Gordon Matta-ClarkISBN 8434311097 (84-343-1109-7)
Hardcover, Distributed Art Pub Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Gordon Matta-clark: Works and Collected Writings'Book summary:Gordon Matta-Clark, scion and rebel, died at 35 in 1978 and has since become a cult figure of late-twentieth-century art. Born in New York and trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the field's conventions in vivid projects that excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New York City alleys and curbs. As the son of the Chilean-born Surrealist painter Roberto Matta and Anne Clark, and godson of Marcel Duchamp, with whom he played a regular game of chess in the Village, Matta-Clark had grown up inside the art world, also working an as assistant to mavericks like Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson. His work and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an "artist's artist," and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention and affection, were always also grounded in social or political convictions. He addressed not only space and real estate (in other words, housing), but the ultimate in necessity and nourishment, food. His "Pig Roast" under the Brooklyn Bridge offered passersby 500 pork sandwiches, and Food, the artist-staffed restaurant that he opened with dancer Caroline Goodden in SoHo, became a headquarters for that nascent neighborhood in the early 70s. He consistently broke the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, photography and film, performance and installation, and above all the permanent and the transitory. Once in a while he also broke the law. This book, published in celebration of the gradual opening of Matta-Clark's archives at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, collects previously unavailable writings, including notecards and notebooks, along with interviews and more than 100 illustrations.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Greatest Generation'Book summary:"They came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America -- men and women whose everyday lives of duty, honor, achievement, and courage gave us the world we have today." In this magnificent testament to a nation and her people, Tom Brokaw brings to life the extraordinary stories of a generation that gave new meaning to courage, sacrifice, honor. From military heroes to community leaders to ordinary Americans, he profiles men and women who served their country with valor, then came home and transformed America: Senator Daniel Inouye, decorated at the front, fighting prejudice at home; Martha Putney, one of the first black women to serve in the newly formed WACs; Charles Van Gorder, a doctor who set up a MASH-like medical facility in the middle of battle, then came home to open a small clinic in his hometown; Navy pilot George Bush, assigned to read the mail of the enlisted men under him, who says that in doing so "I learned about life." And there are more, all seasoned by a time of tragedy and triumph. To this generation who gave so much and asked so little, Brokaw offers eloquent tribute in true stories of everyday heroes in extraordinary times. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'On the Edge of Darkness: Conversations About Conquering Depression'Book summary:"I was ashamed. It was a confession of weakness. For years, depression meant the crazy house. As I look back at it, [my shame] just seems damned foolishness, which is one reason I talk about it now."
--Mike Wallace
"Toward the end I couldn't get up. I just physically couldn't."
--Kitty Dukakis
They have made the impossible climb into the spotlight and attained their brightest dreams. But for Mike Wallace, Kitty Dukakis, William Styron, Joan Rivers, and countless other people struggling against the debilitating effects of depression, life's most challenging battle is waged not in the public eye, but in the darkest recesses of the mind. In her brilliant new work, Kathy Cronkite gives voice to dozens of celebrated professionals who have endured--and conquered--the hopelessness of chronic depression. Most of all, this courageous book brings a ray of hope to the 24 million Americans who live in the shadows of this misunderstood disease, yet bravely seek a path toward the light. You will learn:
What to do when the sadness won't go away.
Why women are most vulnerable to unipolar disorder.
How substance abuse can mask the symptoms of depression.
The latest therapeutic options for children who are affected by their own--or a parent's--illness.

The Power of Mythby Joseph Campbell, Bill D. Moyers, Betty S. FlowersISBN 0385247745 (0-385-24774-5)
Softcover, Bantam Dell Pub Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Power of Myth'Book summary:Among his many gifts, Joseph Campbell's most impressive was the unique ability to take a contemporary situation, such as the murder and funeral of President John F. Kennedy, and help us understand its impact in the context of ancient mythology. Herein lies the power of The Power of Myth, showing how humans are apt to create and live out the themes of mythology. Based on a six-part PBS television series hosted by Bill Moyers, this classic is especially compelling because of its engaging question-and-answer format, creating an easy, conversational approach to complicated and esoteric topics. For example, when discussing the mythology of heroes, Campbell and Moyers smoothly segue from the Sumerian sky goddess Inanna to Star Wars' mercenary-turned-hero, Han Solo. Most impressive is Campbell's encyclopedic knowledge of myths, demonstrated in his ability to recall the details and archetypes of almost any story, from any point and history, and translate it into a lesson for spiritual living in the here and now. --Gail Hudson [via]

Shaking a Leg : Collected Journalism and Writingsby Angela Carter, Jenny Uglow, Joan SmithISBN 0140276955 (0-14-027695-5)
Softcover, Penguin Group (Canada)
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Shaking a Leg : Collected Journalism and Writings'Book summary:Angela Carter died in 1992, but her novels, short story collections, and essays live on, attracting new generations of readers to her often dark, always quirky worldview. Perhaps best known for her fiction (Wise Children, Nights at the Circus, Burning Your Boats, Saints and Strangers, among other titles), Carter was also a gifted and prolific essayist. Two earlier collections, Nothing Sacred and Expletives Deleted, contained much of her journalism and nonfiction; in this latest collection, editor Jenny Uglow has followed Carter's lead, categorizing her work in offbeat, provocative ways. Divided into five main sections ("Self"; "Body Languages"; "Home and Away"; "Looking"; "Stories and Tellers") and many subsections, Uglow has presented essays that range from the early 1960s right up until her death.
Carter certainly wears her convictions on her sleeve; in the 1984 essay "An Omelette and a Glass of Wine and Other Dishes" she decries the "widespread and unashamed cult of conspicuous gluttony" that has sprouted up among yuppie "foodies" in England--people for whom "food is a cornerstone of this hysterical new snobbery." After describing an article in a gourmet magazine that subtly threatens dire consequences for the ignorant host who cannot tell a factory-made brie from a farm-made one, she observes dryly: "This mincing and finicking obsession with food opens whole new areas of potential social shame. No wonder the British find it irresistible." She brings the same laserlike analysis to her 1975 discussion of women's cosmetics, "The Wound in the Face": "[Manufacturers] do not understand their own imagery, any more than the consumer who demonstrates it does. I'm still working on the nature of the imagery of cosmetics. I think it scares me."
Whether she's discussing feminism, her own life history, travel to far-flung corners of the world, or the work of other writers such as Grace Paley or F. Scott Fitzgerald, Angela Carter does so with both precision, intelligence, great wit, and occasional flashes of lyricism. Consider this meditation on the London zoo: "When darkness falls and the crowds are gone and the beasts inherit Regent's Park, I should think the mandrills sometimes say to one another: 'Well, taking all things into consideration, how much better off we are here than in the wild! Nice food, regular meals, no predators, no snakes, free medical care, roofs over our heads... and, after all this time, we couldn't really cope with the wild again, could we?' So they console themselves, perhaps. And, perhaps, weep." And so readers may console themselves with this fine collection of essays. Something to remember Angela Carter by. --Alix Wilber [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Voices from the Storm: The People of New Orleans on the Hurricane Katrina and Its Aftermath'Book summary:Hurricane Katrina inflicted damage on a scale unprecedented in American history, nearly destroying a major city and killing thousands of its citizens. With far too little help from indifferent, incompetent government agencies, the poor bore the brunt of the disaster. The residents of traditionally impoverished and minority communities suffered incalculable losses and endured unimaginable conditions. And the few facilities that did exist to help victims quickly became miserable, dangerous places. Now, the victims of Hurricane Katrina find themselves spread across the United States, far from the homes they left and faced with the prospect of starting anew. Families are struggling to secure jobs, homes, schools, and a sense of place in unfamiliar surroundings. Meanwhile, the rebuilding of their former home remains frustrating out of their hands. This bracing read brings readers to the heart of the disaster and its aftermath as those who survived it speak with candor and eloquence of their lives then and now.[via]More editions of Voices from the Storm: The People of New Orleans on the Hurricane Katrina and Its Aftermath:

› Find signed collectible books: 'World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War'Book summary:Soon to be a major motion picture!
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.
Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War.
Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, By excluding the human factor, arent we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isnt the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as the living dead?
Note: Some of the numerical and factual material contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations Postwar Commission.
Eyewitness reports from the first truly global war
I found Patient Zero behind the locked door of an abandoned apartment across town. . . . His wrists and feet were bound with plastic packing twine. Although hed rubbed off the skin around his bonds, there was no blood. There was also no blood on his other wounds. . . . He was writhing like an animal; a gag muffled his growls. At first the villagers tried to hold me back. They warned me not to touch him, that he was cursed. I shrugged them off and reached for my mask and gloves. The boys skin was . . . cold and gray . . . I could find neither his heartbeat nor his pulse. Dr. Kwang Jingshu, Greater Chongqing, United Federation of China
Shock and Awe? Perfect name. . . . But what if the enemy cant be shocked and awed? Not just wont, but biologically cant! Thats what happened that day outside New York City, thats the failure that almost lost us the whole damn war. The fact that we couldnt shock and awe Zack boomeranged right back in our faces and actually allowed Zack to shock and awe us! Theyre not afraid! No matter what we do, no matter how many we kill, they will never, ever be afraid! Todd Wainio, former U.S. Army infantryman and veteran of the Battle of Yonkers
Two hundred million zombies. Who can even visualize that type of number, let alone combat it? . . . For the first time in history, we faced an enemy that was actively waging total war. They had no limits of endurance. They would never negotiate, never surrender. They would fight until the very end because, unlike us, every single one of them, every second of every day, was devoted to consuming all life on Earth.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Entrevista con el Vampiro'Book summary:The archetypal vampire myth is refreshed for a modern audience in this narrative of an 18th-century Louisiana plantation owner named Louis Pointe du Lac and the charismatic and powerful vampire Lestat who chooses Louis to be his fledgling. In Louis's first-person confession to a skeptical boy, this novel transforms the vampire from a hideous predator into a highly sympathetic, seductive, and human figure. The life of immortal Lestat, raised with a deep Catholic faith, provides a background for the novel's philosophical discussions of the nature of evil, the reality of death, and the limits of human perception.[via]La mitología del vampiro es reinventado para lectores del siglo 20 en esta historia de Louis Pointe du Lac, el dueño de una plantación en el Louisiana del siglo 18, y el vampiro poderoso y dinámico Lestat quien adopta a Louis como discípulo. El voz de Louis narra la novela, y este punto de vista trasforma el vampiro de un monstruo a una figura simpática, seductiva, y humana. La vida de inmortal Lestat, quien tiene profunda fe católica, provee una arena para discursos filosóficos de la natura del malo, la realidad de la muerte, y las limitaciones de la percepción humana.More editions of Entrevista Con El Vampiro:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Paralelismos Y Paradojas'Book summary:El israelí Daniel Barenboim -director de la orquesta Sinfónica de Chicago y de la Ópera Estatal de Berlín- y el palestino-noreteamericano Edward Said -eminente crítico literario y comprometido analista del conflicto de Oriente Próximo- han cultivado desde hace muchos años una profunda amistad que se hace patente en el apasionado y cordial intercambio de ideas que tiene lugar en estas conversaciones.
Barenboim y Said hablan, entre otras cuestiones, de las diferencias entre la escritura de prosa y la de la música, de políticos que tratan de llegar a acuerdos y de artistas que sólo se comprometen con su arte, del famoso director Furtwängler, de Beethoven como supremo compositor de sonatas, de Wagner, de maestros y discípulos y, sobre todo, del poder de la cultura para ir más allá de las barreras nacionales y las diferencias políticas.
Paralelismos y paradojas es un libro de ideas originales y sorprendentes sobre música, política y cultura que despliega un derroche de inteligencia de dos grandes mitos de nuestra cultura contemporánea. [via]More editions of Paralelismos Y Paradojas:

Une Saison De Machettes: Recitsby Jean HatzfeldISBN 2020612143 (2-02-061214-3)
Hardcover, Seuil
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Une Saison De Machettes: Recits'Book summary:En 1994, au Rwanda, 800 000 Tutsis ont été massacrés, en douze semaines, par leurs concitoyens hutus. Soit près de 10.000 personnes par jour, principalement à la machette. Jean Hatzfeld, journaliste à Libération, avait déjà rendu compte de ce génocide sans précédent en donnant la parole aux rescapés des massacres de la région de Nyamata dans un témoignage bouleversant, Dans le nu de la vie. Récit des marais rwandais : sur une population de 59.000 personnes, 50.000 avaient été tuées par leurs voisins hutus.
Dans Une saison de machettes, Jean Hatzfeld a retrouvé une douzaine de ces assassins hutus, agriculteurs pour la plupart, en attente dun jugement ou déjà jugés dans la même commune de Nyamata, et leur donne la parole. Adabert, Alphonse, Ignace, Elie, Léopord, Jean-Baptiste, Pancrase, Pro, et les autres, racontent en toute bonne foi, "avec une énorme franchise, souvent même avec candeur", observe lauteur, cette année 1994 où tout a basculé après lassassinat du président rwandais. "On sassemblait sur le terrain de foot en bande de connaissance, et on allait en chasse par affinité", "On pensait quon pouvait désormais se débrouiller sans Dieu", expliquent-ils. Et de raconter comment eux, Hutus, sarmant de machettes, en se mettant à piller, à violer, à tuer aussi systématiquement que férocement, ont pris leur revanche sur lethnie des Tutsis qui avaient tenu les clefs du pouvoir pendant une longue période.
Dans cette grande enquête sous forme de récit, Hatzfeld analyse le processus du génocide. Ou comment de simples agriculteurs, placés dans une situation exceptionnelle et encadrés par les autorités locales, en sont venus à massacrer leurs voisins, sans état dâme, par conformisme, mais avec le souci de bien faire le "travail", jusquau bout. "Tuer était moins échinant que cultiver", dit lun. "Je tuais sans conséquences, je madaptais sans problème", se souvient un autre. À la fin du récit, les douze hommes acceptent de poser pour une photo, comme une bande de copains. Nulle trace de repentir dans leur discours, ni de mauvaise conscience. Récit dune précision et dune cruauté glaçante, Une saison de machettes est un ouvrage essentiel qui force le lecteur, frappé de stupeur, à garder les yeux ouverts pour regarder en face la banalité du mal. --Denis Gombert [via]More editions of Une Saison De Machettes: Recits:
