    From a devoted reader and lifelong bookseller, an eloquent and charming reflection on the singular importance of bookstoresDo we need bookstores in the twenty-first century? If so, what makes a good one? In this beautifully written book, Jeff Deutsch-the director of Chicago's Seminary Co-op Bookstores, one of the finest bookstores in the world-pays loving tribute to one of our most important and endangered civic institutions. He considers how qualities like space, time, abundance, and community find expression in a good bookstore. Along the way, he also predicts-perhaps audaciously-a future in which the bookstore not only endures, but realizes its highest aspirations.In exploring why good bookstores matter, Deutsch draws on his lifelong experience as a bookseller, but also his upbringing as an Orthodox Jew. This spiritual and cultural heritage instilled in him a reverence for reading, not as a means to a living, but as an essential part of a meaningful life. Central among Deutsch's arguments for the necessity of bookstores is the incalculable value of browsing-since, when we are deep in the act of looking at the shelves, we move through space as though we are inside the mind itself, immersed in self-reflection.In the age of one-click shopping, this is no ordinary defense of bookstores, but rather an urgent account of why they are essential places of discovery, refuge, and fulfillment-and how they enrich the communities that are lucky enough to have them.

    Die Theorie der Prosa wird aus dem Konzept der basalen Selbstreferentialität des poetischen Textes entwickelt. Gegenstand ist ein Korpus avancierter Prosatexte, die die Eigenschaft aufweisen, umfangreich sowie komplex zu sein und einer verdichteten wilden Semiose zu folgen (Zettel's Traum, Schattenfroh, Finnegans Wake etc.). Die Frage nach ihrer ästhetischen Charakteristik führt zu einer Reflexion über die Grundbegriffe der Literaturwissenschaft. This volume develops its theory of prose out of the concept of the basal self-referentiality of the poetic text. Its object of study is a corpus of sophisticated prose texts that are both extensive and complex, and which pursue a wild, dense semiosis (Bottom's Dream, Schattenfroh, Finnegan's Wake, etc.). The question of their aesthetic characteristics leads to reflections on the basic concepts of literary studies.

    Auf Wolfgang Hilbig, veritablen Büchnerpreisträger und gleichzeitig "Kind, das mit Meeren spielt" (Fühmann), auf den Prosaisten und Lyriker zielt diese Monographie, die drei ebenfalls aus Dissertationen entstandenen Beiträgen nachfolgt. Der "Seelenzunge des Lesens", so der Laudator Georg Klein bei der Preisverleihung, verdankte sich das Forschungsinteresse des vorliegenden Projektes, bei weitem bevor es sich im Sinne der Disziplin, also der Germanistik, und im Sinne der Hermeneutik, also abseitig jedweder Disziplin und Denkreglementierung, die Texte aneignete. Die Werke dieses Autors sind eben nicht nur Selbstbehauptungsversuche eines Heizers in der DDR; ihre berückende, weil geerdete Formschönheit verlangt geradezu das analytische Interesse des Germanisten: deshalb die Instrumente der Textinterpretation, die Theorie und der Griff in den Fundus der Literaturgeschichte. Aber doch verhehlt dieser Ansatz nicht, dass die prekäre, ambivalente, ausgehöhlte Position des Subjekts in Hilbigs Subversions- und Widerstandsgeschichten, in der verdrehten, phantastischen Erzählwirklichkeit auch Anlass war, einen distanzierten Ton ex cathedra zu vermeiden. Das Verstörende, Versehrt-Verzehrende, gleichzeitig Aufbegehrend-Kraftvolle sollte nicht von der Patina und der Haltung der Disziplin in Beschlag genommen werden, die man unwillkürlich manch ausladendem, staubigem Buchrücken zuordnet.

    Die einen schreiben Bücher, die anderen verlegen sie. Was aber, wenn Autoren in fiktionalen Werken über Verleger schreiben? Werden sie als freundlich und unterstützend oder eher als feindselig und ausbeuterisch porträtiert? In welcher Beziehung stehen sie zu anderen Akteuren des Literaturbetriebs, welche narrativen Funktionen übernehmen sie im Text? Alessandra Goggio nimmt sich diesen in der Literaturwissenschaft bisher kaum beachteten Fragen an und versucht - anhand von Beispielen aus der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur - die spezifischen Darstellungs- und Fiktionalisierungsverfahren zu erörtern und im Rahmen der sogenannten »Literaturbetriebsliteratur« zu deuten.

    "Prose" refers to a largely free mode of speaking and writing that is not tethered to any normative form, and which permits a wide range of composition styles due to the openness of its content and form. In 18 chapters, this volume makes "prose" - an important but thus far insufficiently examined category of literary studies - the subject of historical, methodological, and theoretical investigations. ›Prosa‹ bezeichnet die ungebundene, von normativer Form weitestgehend freie Weise des Sprechens und Schreibens, die auf Grund ihrer formalen und inhaltlichen Offenheit ein breites Spektrum an Gestaltungsweisen zulässt. ›Prosa‹ ist so nicht allgemeinverbindlich zu definieren oder in einer geschlossenen ›Theorie der Prosa‹ zu erfassen, sie bedarf vielmehr einer offenen Theoriebildung, die von den kulturell und historisch konkretisierten Beispielen stets auch die Ergänzung und Präzisierung ihrer eigenen Ausgangsbestimmungen erwartet. ›Prosa‹ formiert so ein Arbeitsfeld, in dem das Verfahren der Textkonstitution als eine grammatische, rhetorische und poetologische Aufgabe verstanden wird, die gleichermaßen Pragmatiken der ›Sachprosa‹, realistische Romane und Prosaexperimente der Avantgarden betrifft. Etablierte Kategorien der Prosaanalyse wie ›Fiktionalität‹ und ›Narration‹ werden kritisch perspektiviert, und Fragen der Schreibweise, der Sequenzialität und der Konstruktion/Produktion treten in den Vordergrund. - Der vorliegende Band macht in 18 Beiträgen ›Prosa‹ als wichtige, bislang aber unzureichend reflektierte literaturwissenschaftliche Kategorie zum Gegenstand von historisch und methodisch-theoretisch ausgerichteten Untersuchungen.

    Endo Shusaku was a renowned twentieth-century Japanese author who wrote from the unusual perspective of being both Japanese and Catholic. His work is often compared to that of Graham Greene, who himself considered Endo one of the century's finest writers. A historical novel set in the turbulent period between the fall of the shogunate and the Meiji Restoration, Kiku's Prayer embodies themes central to Endo's work, including religion, modernization, and the endurance of the human spirit. In Japan, the book is considered one of his late masterpieces and has never before been translated into Engl

    »Der typische Geschichtenzerstörer« sei er, sagt Thomas Bernhard über sich und sein Schreiben, Peter Handkes Erzähler wird vom »Antifabeltier« heimgesucht und Elfriede Jelineks Bekenntnis als Romanautorin lautet: »Ich schlage sozusagen mit der Axt drein«. Aber warum unterziehen österreichische Autor*innen nach 1945 das Erzählen als traditionelle Kulturtechnik einer solch scharfen Kritik? Viktor Konitzer verfolgt die Geschichte politischer Erzählfeindschaft bis zu den Ursprüngen einer genuin österreichischen Literatur zurück. Dabei entdeckt er spannende Formen des Nicht-Erzählens - und zeigt, wo die Geschichtenzerstörer*innen Zuflucht suchen: im reinen Fluss der Sprache, der Prosa.

    An inviting and highly readable new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics-the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding storiesAristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories-whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story-or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most readable translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable handbook more accessible, engaging, and useful than ever before.In addition to its inviting and reliable translation, a commentary on each section, and the original Greek on facing pages, this edition of the Poetics features unique bullet points, chapter headings, and section numbers to help guide readers through Aristotle's unmatched introduction to the art of writing and reading stories.

Etablierte Kategorien der Prosaanalyse wie ›Fiktionalität‹ und ›Narration‹ werden kritisch perspektiviert, und Fragen der Schreibweise, der Sequenzialität und der Konstruktion/Produktion treten in den Vordergrund. - Der vorliegende Band macht in 18 Beiträgen ›Prosa‹ als wichtige, bislang aber unzureichend reflektierte literaturwissenschaftliche Kategorie zum Gegenstand von historisch und methodisch-theoretisch ausgerichteten Untersuchungen.

    Die einen schreiben Bücher, die anderen verlegen sie. Was aber, wenn Autor*innen in fiktionalen Werken über Verleger*innen schreiben? Werden sie als Freunde und Unterstützer oder eher als Feinde und Ausbeuter porträtiert? In welcher Beziehung stehen sie zu anderen Akteur*innen des Literaturbetriebs, welche narrativen Funktionen übernehmen sie im Text? Alessandra Goggio nimmt sich diesen in der Literaturwissenschaft bisher kaum beachteten Fragen an und versucht - anhand von Beispielen aus der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur - die spezifischen Darstellungs- und Fiktionalisierungsverfahren zu erörtern und im Rahmen der sogenannte »Literaturbetriebsliteratur« zu deuten.

    »Der typische Geschichtenzerstörer« sei er, sagt Thomas Bernhard über sich und sein Schreiben, Peter Handkes Erzähler wird vom »Antifabeltier« heimgesucht und Elfriede Jelineks Bekenntnis als Romanautorin lautet: »Ich schlage sozusagen mit der Axt drein«. Aber warum unterziehen österreichische Autor*innen nach 1945 das Erzählen als traditionelle Kulturtechnik einer solch scharfen Kritik? Viktor Konitzer verfolgt die Geschichte politischer Erzählfeindschaft bis zu den Ursprüngen einer genuin österreichischen Literatur zurück. Dabei entdeckt er spannende Formen des Nicht-Erzählens - und zeigt, wo die Geschichtenzerstörer*innen Zuflucht suchen: im reinen Fluss der Sprache, der Prosa.

    Telling the story of Kafka's final years as never before—the third volume in the acclaimed definitive biographyThis volume of Reiner Stach's acclaimed and definitive biography of Franz Kafka tells the story of the final years of the writer's life, from 1916 to 1924—a period during which the world Kafka had known came to an end. Stach's riveting narrative, which reflects the latest findings about Kafka's life and works, draws readers in with nearly cinematic precision, zooming in for extreme close-ups of Kafka's personal life, then pulling back for panoramic shots of a wider world blighted by World War I, disease, and inflation.In these years, Kafka was spared military service at the front, yet his work as a civil servant brought him into chilling proximity with its grim realities. He was witness to unspeakable misery, lost the financial security he had been counting on to lead the life of a writer, and remained captive for years in his hometown of Prague. The outbreak of tuberculosis and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire constituted a double shock for Kafka, and made him agonizingly aware of his increasing rootlessness. He began to pose broader existential questions, and his writing grew terser and more reflective, from the parable-like Country Doctor stories and A Hunger Artist to The Castle.A door seemed to open in the form of a passionate relationship with the Czech journalist Milena Jesenská. But the romance was unfulfilled and Kafka, an incurably ill German Jew with a Czech passport, continued to suffer. However, his predicament only sharpened his perceptiveness, and the final period of his life became the years of insight.

    Questions about how ancient Greek texts establish their authority, reflect on each other, and project their own truths have become central for a wide range of recent critical discourses. In this volume, an influential group of international scholars examines these themes in a variety of poetic and rhetorical genres. The result is a series of striking and original readings from different critical perspectives that display the centrality of these questions for understanding the poetic and rhetorical aims of ancient Greek texts. Characterized by a combination of close attention to philological detail and theoretical sophistication, the essays in this volume make a compelling case for this kind of focused, critically informed dialogue about the nature of ancient textual praxis. Students of classical literature will find a wealth of critical insights and challenging new readings of many familiar texts.

    Mixing passion and humor, a personal work of literary criticism that demonstrates how the greatest books illuminate our livesWhy do we read literature? For Arnold Weinstein, the answer is clear: literature allows us to become someone else. Literature changes us by giving us intimate access to an astonishing variety of other lives, experiences, and places across the ages. Reflecting on a lifetime of reading, teaching, and writing, The Lives of Literature explores, with passion, humor, and whirring intellect, a professor’s life, the thrills and traps of teaching, and, most of all, the power of literature to lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the worlds we inhabit.As an identical twin, Weinstein experienced early the dislocation of being mistaken for another person—and of feeling that he might be someone other than he had thought. In vivid readings elucidating the classics of authors ranging from Sophocles to James Joyce and Toni Morrison, he explores what we learn by identifying with their protagonists, including those who, undone by wreckage and loss, discover that all their beliefs are illusions. Weinstein masterfully argues that literature’s knowing differs entirely from what one ends up knowing when studying mathematics or physics or even history: by entering these characters’ lives, readers acquire a unique form of knowledge—and come to understand its cost.In The Lives of Literature, a master writer and teacher shares his love of the books that he has taught and been taught by, showing us that literature matters because we never stop discovering who we are.

    Drawn from the acclaimed New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, the articles in this concise new reference book provide a complete survey of the poetic history and practice in every major national literature or cultural tradition in the world. As with the parent volume, which has sold over 10,000 copies since it was first published in 1993, the intended audience is general readers, journalists, students, teachers, and researchers. The editor's principle of selection was balance, and his goal was to embrace in a structured and reasoned way the diversity of poetry as it is known across the globe today. In compiling material on 106 cultures in 92 national literatures, the book gives full coverage to Indo-European poetries (all the major Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages, as well as other obscure ones such as Hittite), the ancient middle Eastern poetries (Hebrew, Persian, Sumerian, and Assyro-Babylonian), subcontinental Indian poetries (the widest linguistic diversity), Asian and Pacific poetries (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and half a dozen others), continental American poetries (all the modern Western cultures and native Indian in North, Central, and South American regions), and African poetries (ancient and emergent, oral and written).

    This volume fulfills the author's career-long reflections on radical otherness in literature. J. Hillis Miller investigates otherness through ten nineteenth- and twentieth-century authors: Friedrich Schlegel, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, Joseph Conrad, W. B. Yeats, E. M. Forster, Marcel Proust, Paul de Man, and Jacques Derrida. From the exquisite close readings for which he is celebrated, Miller reaps a capacious understanding of otherness--one reachable not through theory but through literature itself. Otherness has wide valence in contemporary literary and cultural studies and is often understood as a misconception by hegemonic groups of subaltern ones. In a pleasing counter to this, Others conceives of otherness as something that inhabits sameness. Instances of the ''wholly other'' within the familiar include your sense of self or your beloved, your sense of your culture as such, or your experience of literary, theoretical, and philosophical works that belong to your own culture--works that are themselves haunted by otherness. Though Others begins and ends with chapters on theorists, the testimony they offer about otherness is not taken as more compelling than that of such literary works as Dicken's Our Mutual Friend, Conrad's ''The Secret Sharer,'' Yeats's ''Cold Heaven,'' or Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. Otherness, as this book finds it in the writers read, is not an abstract concept. It is an elusive feature of specific verbal constructs, different in each case. It can be glimpsed only through close readings that respect this diversity, as the plural in the title--Others--indicates. We perceive otherness in the way that the unseen--and the characters' emotional responses to it--ripples the conservative ideological surface of Howard's End. We sense it as chaos in Schlegel's radical concept of irony. And we gaze at it in the multiple personifications of Heart of Darkness. Each testifies in its own way to the richness and tangible weight of an otherness close at hand.

    Nearly as global in its ambition and sweep as its subject, Franco Moretti's The Novel is a watershed event in the understanding of the first truly planetary literary form. A translated selection from the epic five-volume Italian Il Romanzo (2001-2003), The Novel's two volumes are a unified multiauthored reference work, containing more than one hundred specially commissioned essays by leading contemporary critics from around the world. Providing the first international comparative reassessment of the novel, these essential volumes reveal the form in unprecedented depth and breadth--as a great cultural, social, and human phenomenon that stretches from the ancient Greeks to today, where modernity itself is unimaginable without the genre. By viewing the novel as much more than an aesthetic form, this landmark collection demonstrates how the genre has transformed human emotions and behavior, and the very perception of reality. Historical, statistical, and formal analyses show the novel as a complex literary system, in which new forms proliferate in every period and place. Volume 1: History, Geography, and Culture, looks at the novel mostly from the outside, treating the transition from oral to written storytelling and the rise of narrative and fictionality, and covering the ancient Greek novel, the novel in premodern China, the early Spanish novel, and much else, including readings of novels from around the world. These books will be essential reading for all students and scholars of literature.

    Das Prosawerk Christoph Heins ist - wie kaum ein zweites eines Gegenwartsautors - durchsetzt von Erinnerungsinszenierungen, die den dynamischen Charakter individuellen Erinnerns in den Vordergrund rücken. Während Heins Erzählduktus oft den Anschein von objektiven Chroniken erweckt, entlarven destabilisierende Erzählverfahren die Texte in ihrer Fiktionalität. Richard Slipp unterzieht Werke Heins aus über vierzig Jahren einer narratologischen Analyse. Damit stellt er sich gegen das Gros der Hein-Forschung, in dem vor allem die inhaltliche Ebene und der behauptete historische Bezug dominieren. Die aufgedeckte Selbstreflexivität Christoph Heins eröffnet so bisher unbekannte Sichtweisen auf das Schaffen des Schriftstellers.

    A landmark work of literary criticismNorthrop Frye's Anatomy of Criticism is the magnum opus of one of the most important and influential literary theorists of the twentieth century. Breaking with the practice of close reading of individual texts, Frye seeks to describe a common basis for understanding the full range of literary forms by examining archetypes, genres, poetic language, and the relations among the text, the reader, and society. Using a dazzling array of examples, he argues that understanding "the structure of literature as a total form" also allows us to see the profoundly liberating effect literature can have.

    Schwarze Menschen, ihre Geschichten, Erfahrungen und Künste sind seit Jahrzehnten, wenn nicht gar Jahrhunderten, Teil Europas. Doch warum bekommen Schwarze Autor*innen in den Literaturwissenschaften immer noch nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit? Jeannette Oholi rückt in ihrem Buch erstmalig Schwarze europäische Literatur des 21. Jahrhunderts in den Fokus. Sie argumentiert gattungsübergreifend, dass in literarischen Texten aus Deutschland, Frankreich und England das dominante Narrativ eines weißen ›Europäischseins‹ durch plurale Schwarze Identitätsentwürfe unterwandert wird. Dabei wird deutlich: Die pluralen afropäischen Ästhetiken, die in den literarischen Texten produziert werden, zeichnen sich durch Bewegungen, Verbindungen und Uneindeutigkeiten aus und entziehen sich somit einer verengten Lesart.

    Nearly as global in its ambition and sweep as its subject, Franco Moretti's The Novel is a watershed event in the understanding of the first truly planetary literary form. A translated selection from the epic five-volume Italian Il Romanzo (2001-2003), The Novel's two volumes are a unified multiauthored reference work, containing more than one hundred specially commissioned essays by leading contemporary critics from around the world. Providing the first international comparative reassessment of the novel, these essential volumes reveal the form in unprecedented depth and breadth--as a great cultural, social, and human phenomenon that stretches from the ancient Greeks to today, where modernity itself is unimaginable without the genre. By viewing the novel as much more than an aesthetic form, this landmark collection demonstrates how the genre has transformed human emotions and behavior, and the very perception of reality. Historical, statistical, and formal analyses show the novel as a complex literary system, in which new forms proliferate in every period and place. Volume 2: Forms and Themes, views the novel primarily from the inside, examining its many formal arrangements and recurrent thematic manifestations, and looking at the plurality of the genre and its lineages. These books will be essential reading for all students and scholars of literature.
