Book Description
"BoxedMan - I'm gonna make a movie, why are you laughing?" is the story of Nicholas Pasyanos's declaration, commitment and eventual completion of this improbably farfetched journey. The Walter Mitty that lives in us all taunts us throughout our lives to do something out of reach, and it is oh-so tempting. Nicholas succumbed to the siren call and jumped into the deep end of the pool, with the expectation he would learn to swim in the process. This journey could be attributed to mid-life crisis, dreamer thinking or insanity onset; take your pick. Nicholas heard all of these theories as he shared his desire with friends. With the help of divine grace, countless blessings, mini-miracles, inexplicable random occurrences, and the aid of an Academy Award winning editor, his film was completed. Then, the reality struck of entering countless film festivals, acceptance to some, and rejections from most, which is how it goes. But hey, how many people can claim an official rejection letter from the Cannes Film Festival? Beyond the self-deprecating, casual narrative, BoxedMan is an entertaining, inspirational and informative story of the journey that is making a movie.

Ravenwind
Author: Hartzell Cobbs
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1480873748
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
From ancient lore, down millenniums, traveling through worldwide mythologies, legends, and folktales, the mythical raven is entwined in the history of mankind. Most researchers agree that about twenty thousand years ago the first Americans came from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge to what is now North America. The Siberians and their shamans were accompanied by the mythical raven who mediated between the physical and spiritual worlds. With the Siberian influence, Northwest Native American mythology speaks of the raven as creator, destroyer, and trickster. As in Siberia, raven soars on the wind between the great spirit/mystery and the physical world. Raven teaches respect for earth and the oneness of all that is. In RavenWind, author Hartzell Cobbs offers at look at the raven's role in world history and in Native American myths, legends, and folktales. He tells how the raven of folklore calls one to follow, to listen, and experience life with all its complexity, insight, ambiguity, contraction, and humor. With an emphasis on Native American tradition, Cobbs explores the presence of mythical raven in the mundane.

Durrell Re-read
Author: James M. Clawson
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1611478472
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Reading the twelve major novels of Lawrence Durrell, this study argues for their consideration as a single major project, an opus, marked by themes of liminality and betweenness. As major texts of mid-twentieth-century literature, repeatedly earning nominations for the Nobel Prize, Durrell’s work has attracted renewed critical attention since his centenary in 2012. This study shows the thematic unity of the opus in five areas. First, by disrupting expectations of love and death and by fashioning plural narrators, works in the opus blend notions of the subject and the object. Second, in their use of metafictional elements, the texts present themselves as neither fiction nor reality. Third, their approach to place and identity offers something between the naturalistic and the human-centric. Fourth, though the texts’ initial concerns are engaged with understanding the past and preparing for a future, they all resolve in something like the present. And fifth, though the novels reject many aspects of modernism, they reside nevertheless between the poles of modernism and postmodernism. Shared with other writers, including T.S. Eliot and Henry Miller, as early as the 1940s, Durrell’s plans for his major works of fiction remained consistent through the publication of the last novel in 1985, and these plans show the need to consider the twelve major works as a unitary whole.
