One! Hundred! Demons!
Author: Lynda Barry
Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly
ISBN: 1770461701
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
"You'll wonder how anything can be so sad and so funny at the same time."—Lev Grossman, Time Inspired by a sixteenth-century Zen monk’s painting of a hundred demons chasing each other across a long scroll, acclaimed cartoonist Lynda Barry confronts various demons from her life in seventeen full-color vignettes. In Barry’s hand, demons are the life moments that haunt you, form you, and stay with you: your worst boyfriend; kickball games on a warm summer night; watching your baby brother dance; the smell of various houses in the neighborhood you grew up in; or the day you realize your childhood is long behind you and you are officially a teenager. As a cartoonist, Lynda Barry has the innate ability to zero in on the essence of truth, a magical quality that has made her book One! Hundred! Demons! an enduring classic of the early twenty-first century. In the book’s intro, however, Barry throws the idea of truth out of the window by asking the reader to decide if fiction can have truth and if autobiography can have a fiction, a hybrid that Barry coins “autobiofictionalography.” As readers get to know Barry’s demons, they realize that the actual truth no longer matters because the universality of Barry’s comics, true or untrue, reigns supreme.

ISBN: 1483420353
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The author has some promise as a pamphleteer although I would recommend that he keep his daytime job." -New Delhi Gazette "I would like to say it was idealistic and exhilarating with careful craft and something like a moral code but I found myself, instead, candidly hoping it would end sooner." -Mickey R. Hokie "This is, without doubt, the worst first novel I have ever read and that includes Barbra's Boxer Shorts and The Teahouse Of The August Moron" -Ellen O. Gaskell "His grammar and syntax are more than adequate with an exemplary vocabulary. The author even provides a few moments of interest and excitement for the reader. Any beginning student of English Composition might do worse than study this work." --Professor Ingot Dombrowski, Professor Emeritus, Strawberry Fields University

Device-Independent Quantum Information Processing
Author: Rotem Arnon-Friedman
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030602311
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Device-independent quantum cryptography is a method for exchanging secret messages over potentially insecure quantum communication channels, such as optical fibers. In contrast to conventional quantum cryptography, security is guaranteed even if the devices used by the communication partners, such as photon sources and detectors, deviate from their theoretical specifications. This is of high practical relevance, for attacks to current implementations of quantum cryptography exploit exactly such deviations. Device-independent cryptography is however technologically so demanding that it looked as if experimental realizations are out of reach. In her thesis, Rotem Arnon-Friedman presents powerful information-theoretic methods to prove the security of device-independent quantum cryptography. Based on them, she is able to establish security in a parameter regime that may be experimentally achievable in the near future. Rotem Arnon-Friedman's thesis thus provides the theoretical foundations for an experimental demonstration of device-independent quantum cryptography.
