Ethics and Nostalgia in the Contemporary Novel-Perpustakaan.org
Author : John J. Su
Published by Cambridge University PressPublished since 2005-11-24
Images of loss and yearning played a crucial role in literary texts written in the later part of the twentieth century.
Despite deep cultural differences, novelists from Africa, the Caribbean, Great Britain, and the United States share a sense that the economic, social, and political forces associated with late modernity have evoked widespread nostalgia within the communities in which they write.
In this original and wide-ranging study, John J.
Su explores the relationship between nostalgia and ethics in novels across the English-speaking world.
He challenges the tendency in literary studies to characterise memory as positive and nostalgia as necessarily negative.
Instead, this book argues that nostalgic fantasies are crucial to the ethical visions presented by topical novels.
From Jean Rhys to Wole Soyinka and from V.
S.
Naipaul to Toni Morrison, Su identifies nostalgia as a central concern in the twentieth-century novel.
Gold-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Chris Cleave
Published by Simon and SchusterPublished since 2012-07-03
Building on the tradition of Little Bee, Chris Cleave again writes with elegance, humor, and passion about friendship, marriage, parenthood, tragedy, and redemption.
What would you sacrifice for the people you love? KATE AND ZOE met at nineteen when they both made the cut for the national training program in track cycling—a sport that demands intense focus, blinding exertion, and unwavering commitment.
They are built to exploit the barest physical and psychological edge over equally skilled rivals, all of whom are fighting for the last one tenth of a second that separates triumph from despair.
Now at thirty-two, the women are facing their last and biggest race: the 2012 Olympics.
Each wants desperately to win gold, and each has more than a medal to lose.
Kate is the more naturally gifted, but the demands of her life have a tendency to slow her down.
Her eight-year-old daughter Sophie dreams of the Death Star and of battling alongside the Rebels as evil white blood cells ravage her personal galaxy—she is fighting a recurrence of the leukemia that nearly killed her three years ago.
Sophie doesn’t want to stand in the way of her mum’s Olympic dreams, but each day the dark forces of the universe seem to be massing against her.
Devoted and self-sacrificing Kate knows her daughter is fragile, but at the height of her last frenzied months of training, might she be blind to the most terrible prognosis? Intense, aloof Zoe has always hovered on the periphery of real human companionship, and her compulsive need to win at any cost has more than once threatened her friendship with Kate—and her own sanity.
Will she allow her obsession, and the advantage she has over a harried, anguished mother, to sever the bond they have shared for more than a decade? Echoing the adrenaline-fueled rush of a race around the Velodrome track, Gold is a triumph of superbly paced, heart-in-throat storytelling.
With great humanity and glorious prose, Chris Cleave examines the values that lie at the heart of our most intimate relationships, and the choices we make when lives are at stake and everything is on the line.
