One Love Affair
Author: Jenny Boully
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Poetry. [ONE LOVE AFFAIR]* meditates on mud daubers, Duras, and the deaths of mentally ill and drug addicted lovers, blurring fiction, essay, and memoir in an extended prose poem that is as much as study of how we read as it is a treatise on the language of love affairs: a language of hidden messages, coded words, cryptic gestures, and suspicion. As with Jenny Boully's debut book THE BODY (2002), [ONE LOVE AFFAIR]* is full of gaps and fissures and "seduces its reader by drawing unexpected but felicitous linkages between disparate citations from the history of literature," a work that is "filled with the exegetical projection of our own imagination" --Christian Bok. Told through fragments that accrete through uncertain meanings, romanticized memories, and fleeting moments rather than clear narrative or linear time Boully explores the spaces between too much and barely enough, fecundity and decay, the sublime and the disgusting, wholeness and emptiness, love and loneliness in a world where life can be interpreted as a series of love affairs that are "unwilling to complete."

Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Accomplished in his career but unaccomplished in love, a middle-aged architect is torn apart by his obsession with an enigmatic young woman in this delicately told story of desire and abjection by a titan of Italian literature. Antonio Dorigo is a successful architect in Milan, nearing fifty, who has always been afraid of women. A regular at an upscale brothel for years, he mourns the lack of close female companionship in his life. One afternoon, the madam at the brothel introduces Tonio to “a new girl,” Laide. Tonio sees nothing especially remarkable about her, though it intrigues him that she dances at La Scala and also at a strip club, and yet in a very short time he becomes completely obsessed with her. Laide leads Antonio on, confounds him, uses and humiliates him, treats him tenderly from time to time, lies to him, makes no apologies to him, and he loves her ever more. This helpless and hopeless love, he feels, is what he is, even as it prevents him from ever seeing Laide for who she is. Because Who is she? is the question at the heart of Buzzati’s clear-eyed and darkly comic tale of infatuation. Is A Love Affair a love story or is it a story of anything but love? Buzzati’s novel, with its psychological subtleties, vivid cityscapes, unsettling comedy, and compassion, keeps the reader guessing till the end.

Love Affair
Author: Leslie Kenton
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429991259
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
A searing literary memoir of a disconnected childhood, a multigenerational upbringing and incest— from the daughter of legendary jazz pianist Stan Kenton Leslie Kenton was the only child of Violet, a stunning Hitchcock blonde, and the legendary jazz giant Stan Kenton. The story takes place on the road in 1950s America and in the mania of Hollywood—a world of jazz clubs, dance halls and onenighters, where lives were lived on a razor's edge. Love Affair takes us beyond the bright lights and glamour into an intense, claustrophobic world of a father and the only child of his troubled marriage. As Stanley grapples with alcohol and his personal demons, gradually his actions threaten to destroy the only real, untainted thing in his life: Leslie. A true story of obsession, tragedy and grace, Love Affair is Leslie Kenton's powerful memoir. At its heart is the complex, ultimately incestuous, relationship with her father–a union so powerful it defines all that came after. As their lives become increasingly entangled, so do the forces of darkness and light that exist within us all, leading to destruction for him and heartbreaking redemption for her. There have been memoirs about incest before, but Love Affair is a surprisingly moving and elegant treatment of a young life, shared passion, and boundaries crossed.

My Love Affair with America
Author: Norman Podhoretz
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743205766
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
In this touching and delightful memoir, Norman Podhoretz charts the ups and downs of his lifelong love affair with his native land, and warns that to turn against America, from the Right no less than from the Left, is to fall into the rankest ingratitude. While telling the story of how he himself grew up to be a fervent patriot, one of this country's leading conservative thinkers urges his fellow conservatives to rediscover and reclaim their faith in America. A superb storyteller, Podhoretz takes us from his childhood as a working-class kid in Brooklyn during the Great Depression -- the son of Jewish immigrants singing Catholic hymns in a public school staffed by Irish spinsters and duking it out on the streets with his black and Italian classmates -- to his later education, his shifting political alliances, and his arrival at a happy personal and intellectual resolution. My Love Affair with America shows us a gentler and funnier Podhoretz than readers have seen before. At the same time, it presents a picture of someone eager to proclaim, against all comers, that America represents one of the high points in the history of human civilizations. In this powerful, elegantly written, and poignant cautionary tale, Podhoretz pleads with his fellow conservatives not to fall, as some have lately done, into their own special brand of anti-Americanism, as he reminds them of the disastrous consequences that followed the assault by the New Left against the United States in decades gone by. Warm in feeling and brilliantly perceptive, My Love Affair with America points the way back to a thoroughly unabashed love of country -- the kind of patriotism that has rarely been encountered in recent years and that is as invigorating as it is inspiring.

The One Love
Author: Rear Admiral Joseph H. Miller
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449092608
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The One Love refers to a husband and wife who have become one and their One love which is to the other. This book is based on the thoughts from Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. He had 700 wives and 12,000 horses, but he had only one love. An alternate interpretation of the Biblical book, Song of Solomon, (a story of sexual love) suggests that Solomon's experience answers the question, "Is it better to have loved and lost or better to have never loved at all? Solomon had wondered away from God. He was led by his wives to worship pagan gods. When he lost his only true love, the impact caused him to return to the only true God in his old age. This book is a reference book for all young people who are contemplating marriage or are already married. It lists the 13 subjects that are necessary to have a "Broad Mentality" in life. It lists the 11 factors for a "Broad Mentality" needed for a successful marriage. It asks 25 questions to be reviewed before marriage that lead to thoughts for a life-long or permanent marriage. It is very practical in producing a technique that guarantees communication for young married people. It lists many "Code Names for Love", with instructions as to how young couples can develop their own. It clearly reveals that sex outside of marriage is a sin. It takes one on a tour through the Bible showing that homosexuality is a sin and one who is persistent in that sin (as with many other sins) will not be in the Kingdom of Heaven. The course involves a study of Five Chapters concerning True Love. An Addendum, (with 86 questions) that outlines the course discuses: Falling in Love, (25 Questions before Marriage), Marriage, and Staying Married.
