Softcover. Condition: Good. A new novel about art, love, death, and time from the author of Motherhood and How Should a Person Be?Here we are, just living in the first draft of creation, which was made by some great artist, who is now getting ready to tear it apart.In this first draft, a woman named Mira leaves home for school. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Miras chest like a portal-to what, she doesnt know. When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and she enters the strange and dizzying dimension that true loss opens up.Pure Colour tells the story of a life, from beginning to end. It is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge, and streaked with beauty. It is a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling, and a shape-shifting epic. Sheila Heti is a philosopher of modern experience, and she has reimagined what a book can hold.

Far beyond jaded, she picks through an old diary and fails to recognise the woman in its pages, seemingly as far away from the world around her as she's ever been. But when her coworker vanishes overnight, an unusual new task is dropped on her desk. Off she goes to meet the Norwegian Postal Workers Union, setting the ball rolling on a strange and transformative six months.This is an existential scream of a novel about loneliness (and the postal service!), written in Vigdis Hjorth's trademark spare, rhythmic and cutting style.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2013 Reeling from a failed marriage, Sheila, a twentysomething playwright, finds herself unsure of how to live and create. When Margaux, a talented painter and free spirit, and Israel, a sexy and depraved artist, enter her life, Sheila hopes that through closesometimes too closeobservation of her new friend, her new lover, and herself, she might regain her footing in art and life. Using transcribed conversations, real emails, plus heavy doses of fiction, the brilliant and always innovative Sheila Heti crafts a work that is part literary novel, part self-help manual, and part bawdy confessional. It's a totally shameless and dynamic exploration into the way we live now, which breathes fresh wisdom into the eternal questions: What is the sincerest way to love? What kind of person should you be? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A pioneering work of modernist fiction, using her unique stream-of-consciousness technique to explore the inner lives of her characters, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Stella McNichol, with an introduction and notes by Hermione Lee.To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group', an informal collective of artists and writers that exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay.If you enjoyed To the Lighthouse, you might like James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, also available in Penguin Classics.'Bears endless re-reading . the sea encircles the story in a brilliant ebb and flow'Rachel Billington.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Copy of Uncorrected Proof of the Vintage Books Original, May 2018. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "Part exploration of the writing process, part history, part memoir, TRIP is a look at psychedelic drugs, literature, and creativity from one of the twenty-first century's most innovative novelists. When Tao Lin, at the lowest point of his life, near death from uncontrolled drug use, discovered the strange and exciting work of Terence McKenna--the leading advocate of psychedelic drugs since Timothy Leary--he became revitalized and obsessed. In TRIP, Tao's first book-length work of nonfiction, Tao charts his recovery from pharmaceutical drugs, his surprising change in worldview from bleakly existential to positive and hopeful, and his four-year engagement with the hardest questions: Why do we make art? Is the world made of language? What happens when we die? And is the imagination more real than the universe? In exploring these questions and by detailing his experiences with psilocybin, DMT, and cannabis, Tao takes readers on a trip through nature, his own past, psychedelic culture, and the unknown." [publisher copy] "TRIP is not only a book about drugs--it's about the condition of humans at this point in history, troublingly divorced from our natural capacity for awe by our chemically depleted bodies and minds. This book has changed how I understand myself on a cellular level. It's a superbly researched, moving, and formally inventive quest for re-enchantment, and Tao Lin's most compelling and profound book yet."--Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be? "TRIP is a sane book about becoming sane, and Lin's most valuable work to date."--The Irish Times. "Lin's best yet. His rendering of tripping is perfect--better even than Aldous Huxley's elegant and evocative passages in The Doors of Perception, because Lin's account conveys reverence and immersion without grandiosity. And that allows humor to leak through. A joy to read."--Bookforum. Pristine paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - An extraordinary memoir of transition and transgender politics and culture'Six weeks before sex reassignment surgery (SRS), I am obliged to stop taking my hormones. I suddenly feel very differently about my forthcoming operation.'In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery-a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics.Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job, she launches a career as a writer in a publishing culture dominated by London cliques and still figuring out the impact of the Internet. She navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Yet through art, film, music, politics and football, Jacques starts to become the person she had only imagined, and begins the process of transition. Interweaving the personal with the political, her memoir is a powerful exploration of debates that comprise trans politics, issues which promise to redefine our understanding of what it means to be alive.Revealing, honest, humorous, and self-deprecating, Trans includes an epilogue with Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be , in which Jacques and Heti discuss the cruxes of writing and identity.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -When Holly applies for a job at the Paradise - one of the city's oldest cinemas, squashed into the ground floor of a block of flats - she thinks it will be like any other shift work. She cleans toilets, sweeps popcorn, avoids the belligerent old owner, Iris, and is ignored by her aloof but tight-knit colleagues who seem as much a part of the building as its fraying carpets and endless dirt. Dreadful, lonely weeks pass while she longs for their approval, a silent voyeur. So when she finally gains the trust of this cryptic band of oddballs, Holly transforms from silent drudge to rebellious insider and gradually she too becomes part of the Paradise - unearthing its secrets, learning its history and haunting its corridors after hours with the other ushers. It is no surprise when violence strikes, tempers change and the group, eyes still affixed to the screen, starts to rapidly go awry. 200 pp. Englisch.

Wie alle Bücher von Sheila Heti oszilliert auch dieses zwischen den Genres. Reine Farbe ist philosophisches Traktat, modernes Märchen und die realistische Erzählung einer Freundschaft zwischen zwei jungen Frauen in schwierigen Zeiten. Die Prämisse: Gott schuf die Welt in sechs Tagen, betrachtet sie seit nunmehr 4,5 Milliarden Jahren mit dem Pinsel in der Hand und überlegt, ob es nicht klüger wäre, eine neue, bessere Version anzugehen.Mira ist aber in dieser ersten Welt zu Hause. Sie teilt die Menschen in Vogel-, Fisch- und Bärenwesen; sie selbst ist ein Vogel (flüchtig, scheu), ihre Freundin Annie ein Fisch (sozial, engagiert, ein Schwarmtier). Miras Vater wiederum, der einen starken Einfluss auf sie ausübt, ist ein (machtvoll emotionaler) Bär. Und sein Tod für sie kaum zu verwinden.Ein modernes Märchen über die Macht der Liebe und das Ende der Welt.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Um romance provocador e corajoso sobre o desejo e o dever de procriar, escrito pela brilhante escritora canadense Sheila Heti.Em Maternidade, Sheila Heti reflete sobre os ganhos e as perdas para uma mulher que decide se tornar mãe, tratando a decisão que mais traz consequências na vida adulta com a franqueza, a originalidade e o humor que lhe renderam reconhecimento internacional por seu livro anterior, How Should a Person Be?.Ao se aproximar dos quarenta anos, numa fase em que todas as suas amigas se perguntam quando irão ter filhos, a narradora do romance intimista e urgente de Heti no limiar entre a ficção e autorreflexão questiona se aquela é uma experiência que ela quer ter. Numa narrativa que se estende ao longo de muitos anos, moldada a partir de conversas com seus pares e seu parceiro e de sua relação com os pais, ela se vê em um embate para fazer uma escolha sábia e coerente. Depois de buscar ajuda na filosofia, no próprio corpo, no misticismo e no acaso, ela descobre a resposta num lugar bem mais familiar do que imaginaria."Nunca vi ninguém escrever sobre a relação entre não ter filhos, escrever e a tristeza das mães do modo que Sheila Heti faz." Elif Batuman, autora de Os possessos e A idiota; 312 pages.
