Book Description
Ultimately, writes Lyotard, prose proper should tend to the "deritualized short story", where differends are not dissipated but neutralized, persisting in their contradiction. For such a "prose is the people of anecdotes", & thus the oppressor - everything from the cockwombles who produce television shows to the cockwombles who produce psychiatry, nationalism, and religion - will always come up against the free life of phrases and genres in the prose that is the people. The oppressor will come up against revolutionary and innovative prose like that of Jennifer S. Chesler. By David McLean, editor This book is published via Lulu by Nickel Hole Press.

The Mulberry Empire
Author: Philip Hensher
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 1400030897
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
With Tolstoyan sweep and Dickensian vitality, this epically involving historical novel relates England’s tragic adventure in Afghanistan, which began with the triumphant arrival of the Army of the Indus in 1839 and ended three years later in rout and massacre. At the center of The Mulberry Empire is Alexander Burnes, a Scots explorer who travels to the unfathomably remote kingdom of Afghanistan and first befriends and then reluctantly betrays its wise and impeccably courteous Amir. But he is only one character in a cast that includes ladies and generals, princes and deserters, all brilliantly and sympathetically realized. At once stirring and harrowing, exotic and cautionary, and as vividly colored as a Persian miniature, the result is a tour de force of re-creation and invention.
