Nabokov's dream diary, published for the first time--and placed in biographical and literary context
On October 14th, 1964, Vladimir Nabokov, a lifelong insomniac, began a curious experiment. Over the next eighty days, immediately upon waking, he wrote down his dreams, following the instructions he found in An Experiment with Time by the British philosopher John Dunne. The purpose was to test the theory that time may go in reverse, so that, paradoxically, a later event may generate an earlier dream. The result--published here for the first time--is a fascinating diary in which Nabokov recorded sixty-four dreams (and subsequent daytime episodes) on 118 index cards, which afford a rare glimpse of the artist at his most private. More than an odd biographical footnote, the experiment grew out of Nabokov's passionate interest in the mystery of time, which influenced many of his novels, including the late masterpiece Ada.
Insomniac Dreams, edited by leading Nabokov authority Gennady Barabtarlo, presents the text of Nabokov's dream experiment, illustrated with a selection of his original index cards, and provides rich annotations and analysis that put them in the context of his life and writings. The book also includes previously unpublished records of Nabokov's dreams from his letters and notebooks and shows important connections between his fiction and private writings on dreams and time.

Описание: 'A beautiful memoir in which Oliver Sacks comes wonderfully to life ... Exquisitely wrought, heartrending and joyous' Joyce Carol OatesBill Hayes came to New York in 2009 with a one-way ticket and only the vaguest idea of how he would get by. But, at forty-eight years old, having spent decades in San Francisco, he craved change.
Grieving over the death of his partner, he quickly discovered the profound consolations of the city's incessant rhythms, the sight of the Empire State Building against the night sky, and New Yorkers themselves, kindred souls that Hayes, a lifelong insomniac, encountered on late-night strolls with his camera. And he unexpectedly fell in love again, with his friend and neighbor, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks, whose exuberance is captured in funny and touching vignettes throughout. What emerges is a portrait of Sacks at his most personal and endearing, from falling in love for the first time at age seventy-five to facing illness and death (Sacks died of cancer in August 2015).
Insomniac City is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life. Filled with Hayes's distinctive street photos of everyday New Yorkers, the book is a love song to the city and to all who have felt the particular magic and solace it offers.

Описание: Corey Bonspiel is having a bad day. There's a mysterious lump on his neck, he broke up with his girlfriend, lost his job at a call centre, and worst of all he can't find a TV to watch the Habs' game. Squarehead is a fast-paced, funny, and insightful examination of the notion of two solitudes, of Anglos lost in the hazy dream of Franco Canada. On a night of poetry slams, hockey riots, and a lack of pants, and set against the backdrop of Bruins-Canadiens 2008 game 7 matchup, Brian Davis' debut novel takes the reader into the quiet corners of Montreal, infusing the story with characters that can only be found in a city like no other. Part DeLillo's Game 6, part Linklater's Slacker, but all Montreal, Squarehead is a hilarious look at loss, living, and loving in our changing social-media-driven world, of searching for home and a place in the next round.

Описание:
Rivers are often used in mythology to represent boundaries; to cross the river is to transform. The poems in River Revery reflect the river Thames as it winds through the city of London, Ontario. Because the Thames forks into two streams at the city's core, it was called Askunessippi, "the antlered river," by the original Algonquin inhabitants. For Indigenous communities, it is "Deshkan Ziibiing." In re-naming the river the Thames, English settlers colonized forbidding new territory as an imitation of 'home, ' rather than embracing the vibrancy of the river as it is. A distillation of ecological concern is a current necessity in River Revery. Such inspiration in poetry is one source for right action since the Thames waters our gardens, real and imaginary.

Описание: Poetry. These insomniac episodes consist of 84 tantalizing descriptions of hallucinated Magritte murals, painted on the inside of poet Joseph Reich's sleepless eyelids. Strongly visual but leaving much to the imagination, humorous, and deliciously paradoxical, they make a delightful introduction to Reich's wryly obsessive way of shaking off the downpour of the world's insanity.
