Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
WOMAN WITH HORNS AND OTHER STORIES is a collection of a dozen stories by Philippine American writer Cecilia Manguerra Brainard that weave Philippine history, culture, folklore, and myths. This 2020 edition of this anthology presents this beloved stories to a new audience as well as readers of Brainard's subsequent literary work, which include the novels WHEN THE RAINBOW WEPT, MAGDALENA, and THE NEWSPAPER WIDOW. Brainard's books, including the books she edited, GROWING UP FILIPINO: STORIES FOR YOUNG ADULTS and the follow-up GROWING UP FILIPINO II, are considered significant contributions to Philippine, Philippine American, as well as Asian American literature. Katipunan praised it as follows: "Beautifully written in the minimalist style yet never lacking color and clarity, Brainard's stories reach out from the deep centuries of folklore, superstition, religion, customs, geography, and history to bring them life into the present. But more than life itself, this book mirrors the unique ways in which the Filipino woman searches for meaning." World Literature Today noted, "The author, through deep woman-knowledge, makes the stories into one web, weaving events (folkloric, historical, and contemporary) and people through sensibility rather than structure, drawing the reader into the loom of history and fiction, to read all life as one unity.

Tales of Berlin in American Literature up to the 21st Century
Author: Joshua Parker
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004312099
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Of all European cities, Americans today are perhaps most curious about Berlin, whose position in the American imagination is an essential component of nineteenth-century, postwar and contemporary transatlantic imagology. Over various periods, Berlin has been a tenuous space for American claims to cultural heritage and to real geographic space in Europe, symbolizing the ultimate evil and the power of redemption. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of the city’s image in American literature from 1840 to the present. Tracing both a history of Berlin and of American culture through the ways the city has been narrated across three centuries by some 100 authors through 145 novels, short stories, plays and poems, Tales of Berlin presents a composite landscape not only of the German capital, but of shifting subtexts in American society which have contextualized its meaning for Americans in the past, and continue to do so today.
