Book Description
Serbian writer Danilo Kis was preoccupied with man's dehumanization in a mechanized, totalitarian world. His dazzling fiction established him as one of the most artful and eloquent authors of postwar Europe. In this first collection of his non-fiction, Kis displays the dynamic, sensitive, and insistently questioning approach to the dilemmas of the modern world that distinguishes his novels and stories and confirms his reputation as one of the most important voices of our time.

Book Description
Serbian Danilo Kis, like Orwell before him, is preoccupied with the dehumanizing of man in a mechanized, totalitarian world. His fiction - including The Encyclopedia of the Dead and A Tomb for Boris Davidovich - established him as one of the original writers of postwar Europe. His antecedents include Borges and Bruno Schultz, the cosmopolitian and the small-town Polish Jew; his history exposed and extended his forms and styles.

Book Description
Noemi Marin analyzes famous writers from the area as critical intellectuals and exiles in order to explore the role of rhetoric and identity in writers' own experiences during the long history of communism. Along with examinations of discursive relationships among power, culture and resistance in works by George Konrad, Andrei Codrescu, and Siavenka Drakulic before and after the fall of communism, Marin proposes specific dimensions for a rhetoric of exile pertinent to communist Eastern and Central Europe. After the Fall shows how critical works on identity, culture, and communist history by the writers studied aid in reconstituting a rhetoric of dissidence, identity, and legitimation in the public discourse of a changing Europe. The book offers a unique perspective on the complex contexts of political transition, in which competing public discourse on freedom and democracy intersect with totalitarian regimes, unsettled societies, and issues of resistance.

Book Description
…The hardest duty for a novelist, or journalist, or for a poet or better says, a proto-poet, is to use a harsh fight and challenge through word and wordage against the original word itself… …Our Species Sapiens has been hit by many crises and shortages, by concentric circles of insufficiency and boasted inflationary cycles, of un-numerable rows of deficiencies, by multiple difficulties and vulnerabilities, and is trying now, to regain its spirit through technology and science, through philosophy and ideology, through theology, teleology and poetry, and subsequently, through the engagement into the triad of Encyclopedism, Conceptologism and Videologism… …It is our BEING INTO AGORRA a Poetry?... a Philosophy?... a synthesis of the two?... Or a Supra-synthesis of all different determinants of abstract area of human in coming, of human in becoming and of the same human in overcoming, of human-to-be, of human-to-becoming and human to-overcoming?... Would be possible a renaissance of our Species, still called Sapiens for many, or Homo Bipedismus – Culture Evolution by myself, through literature? Through novel? Through prose? Through poetry? Through a philosophy of all, to the hope of regaining its basic function of Sapientological Utilitarism through education and learning?... …We are out of Latin space of the Eastern Europe, but in contact and reciprocity with German culture, Magyar culture, Hebrew culture, Slavonic culture, and through extension with all Sapientological cultures and civilizations, of all times, and of all latitudes and of all longitudes… Encylopaedist through Sapientologist

Book Description
The concept of nothing was an enduring concern of the 20th century. As Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre each positioned nothing as inseparable from the human condition and essential to the creation or operation of human existence, as Jacques Derrida demonstrated how all structures are built upon a nothing within the structure, and as mathematicians argued that zero ? the number that is also not a number ? allows for the creation of our modern mathematical system, Narratives of Nothing in 20th-Century Literature suggests that nothing itself enables the act of narration. Focusing on the literary works of Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett, and Victor Pelevin, Meghan Vicks traces how and why these writers give narrative form to nothing, demonstrating that nothing is essential to the creation of narrative ? that is, how our perceptions are conditioned, how we make meaning (or madness) out of the stuff of our existence, how we craft our knowable selves, and how we exist in language.

Book Description
This book explores the relation between nationhood, literary culture and globalism in the context of the Cold War struggle over the legacy of European modernity, a struggle to represent diverse experiences of the political, after World War II and colonialism. This book argues that, during the Cold War, modern political imagination is held captive by the split between two visions of universality -- freedom in the West vs. social justice in the East -- and by a culture of secrecy that ties national identity to national security. The significance of Cold War political modernity is made evident in the staging of dialogues between post-1945 American and Eastern European novelists: Kundera with Roth, Coover with Popescu and Kis and DeLillo.
