Hatchet Jobs: Writings on Contemporary Fiction Dale Peck Book Description The acclaimed novelist takes a vigorous swipe at contemporary fiction and its progenitors. Book Description The acclaimed novelist takes a vigorous swipe at contemporary fiction and its progenitors. "Rick Moody is the worst writer of his generation." ?from Hatchet Jobs According to Dale Peck, contemporary fiction is at an impasse. Its place as entertainer and educator has been usurped by television and the movies while publishing has become a feeder industry to Hollywood. Faced with such diminished status, novelists have reacted in two admirable, if misguided, ways: writing for targeted socio-cultural groups, they produce so-called "identity fiction," which employs a neo-Victorian realism and resembles anthropology more than art; or, they've pursued an ironic and self-reflexive postmodernism that can only comment on the real world with a mocking, impotent jest.

Wally by Name : A Monkey's Tale(Volume One)

Wally Payne


Wally by Name : A Monkey's Tale(Volume One) Wally Payne Book DescriptionHaving been required to resign from the Leicester City Constabulary for the heinous crime of ?gross impertinence to a member of the public?, the author crossed the road to the Army Recruiting Office and enlisted into the Royal Military Police. It was a decision that, despite the odd knock back, he was never to regret. The volumes recount the adventures, mishaps, misdeeds and observations of a character of some notoriety, charting his journey from the NAAFI canteen to theOfficer?s Mess via Germany, the UK, Malta, Cyprus, Northern Ireland and the Far East. The tongue in cheek tales are told in a ribald, sometimes bawdy, occasionally cruel and unfailingly irreverent fashion that befit a person with a chip on both shoulders. Described by one officer as ?arrogant, selfish, self-centred and pig headed?, he never discovered any reason to change. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionHaving been required to resign from the Leicester City Constabulary for the heinous crime of ?gross impertinence to a member of the public?, the author crossed the road to the Army Recruiting Office and enlisted into the Royal Military Police.
