My Christina And Other Stories (graywolf Short Fiction Series)

My Christina And Other Stories (graywolf Short Fiction Series)


My Christina & Other StoriesYears after her death, MercÈ Rodoreda's work is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance. The seventeen stories that comprise this volume vary tremendously in tone and style, from the hallucinatory to the bleakly realistic, from tales of tenderness and love to stories that might best be called folktales, reality merged with dream.

The Lovers of Algeria: A Novel (Lannan Translation Selection (Graywolf Paperback))

The Lovers of Algeria: A Novel (Lannan Translation Selection (Graywolf Paperback))


A breathless story of love and survival in war-torn Algeria-past and presentThe devil has entered our country, and his footprints are everywhere.Nine-year-old Jallal is old enough to know that his life in Algeria is precarious at best. Having run away from home, he survives by selling peanuts and single cigarettes on the street. The proposal by the elderly Swiss woman named Anna is shocking and preposterous: go to the mountains with her, as a translator, so she can find her lost lover from decades ago and pray over the graves of their murdered children. Anna and Jallal's journey is wrought with danger and unspeakable tragedy. It was under similar circumstances that Anna first met the Arab Nasreddine. Ousted from the traveling circus where she performed as a trapeze artist, she had little choice but to accept Nasreddine's dangerous offer to live with him in a makeshift tent. But it was here, amid poverty, racism, and terrifyingly random violence, that they fell in love. A best seller in France, The Lovers of Algeria is an unflinchingly candid story about a country where terrorism and government corruption are commonplace. As Anna and Nasreddine, beaten by time and memory, circle each other in Algeria, Anouar Benmalek shows with heart-wrenching detail that love can endure even the most inhuman conditions.A Lannan Translation Series Selection

Body Language: Writers on Sport (Graywolf Forum)

Body Language: Writers on Sport (Graywolf Forum)


Body Language: Writers on Sport, the second book in the Graywolf Forum Series, gathers thirteen contemporary creative writers who offer personal reflections on our public obsession: from the pool hustler to the closet baseball fan; from late-night rodeo on cable TV to tennis games on the weathered fields of Illinois; from the aging basketball player to the anxious young girl determining whether to strike out the boy who is her friend. Through these individual narratives we begin to recognize the universal themes that galvanize both sport and literature: conflict and sacrifice, ritual and passion, humiliation and heroism.Contributors:Gerald EarlyJonis AgeeTeri BostianCecil BrownWayne FieldsLorraine KeePhillip LopateJames A.

The Graywolf Annual Five: Multi-Cultural Literacy (1-2, 4, 6-<8>: The Graywolf Short Fiction Series) (No.5)

The Graywolf Annual Five: Multi-Cultural Literacy (1-2, 4, 6-<8>: The Graywolf Short Fiction Series) (No.5)


The issue of cultural literacy has been the subject of intense debate in the past two years. Several bestselling books about the deficiencies of our educational system as well as changes in basic curriculum at more than one major university have contributed to the fervor of this debate.Fueling the national controversy is the question of what body of knowledge constitutes cultural literacy. While many argue for a return to a "back to basics" curriculum, equally energetic voices call for a revised curriculum, one which embraces both traditional western classics and the classics of non-European cultures, among them African, Asian, and Latin American.This volume brings together thirteen essays which suggest the range of knowledge truly literate individuals need to possess. Essays by such writers as James Baldwin, Carlos Fuentes, Michelle Cliff, Paula Gunn Allen, Ishmael Reed, and Wendell Berry enlarge our perspective to include a variety of voices and heritages which contribute to the vibrant culture of the United States.Also included is a beginning list of names, places, dates, and concepts which are part and parcel of a multi-cultural fabric.

The Scattered Papers of Penelope: New and Selected Poems (Lannan Translation Selection (Graywolf Paperback))

The Scattered Papers of Penelope: New and Selected Poems (Lannan Translation Selection (Graywolf Paperback))


A career-spanning collection by one of greece’s most loved and lyrical contemporary poets, Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke I wasn’t weaving, I wasn’t knitting I was writing something erasing and being erased under the weight of the word                                 —from “Penelope Says” Drawn from the traditions of Greek myth, history, and literature, The Scattered Papers of Penelope is the poet Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke’s first full retrospective collection available in English. Carried over from the Greek by an array of noted translators, including the editor, Karen Van Dyck, Anghelaki-Rooke’s poetry is bold, sensual, and brash. She reexamines Greek myth and history through the female body—the body of Penelope; the poet’s own body, scarred by illness; the bodies of stray animals. Other poems and sequences take the form of a journal kept during the first Gulf War, prose poems about modern violence and the destruction of nature, existential musings on beings and things on their own, and lush descriptions of the domestic world on the poet’s adopted home island of Aegina. The Scattered Papers of Penelope introduces to American readers a major global poetic voice, a winner of the Greek National Prize for Poetry and the Greek Academy’s Poetry Prize.

The Business of Memory: The Art of Remembering in an Age of Forgetting (Graywolf Forum Three)

The Business of Memory: The Art of Remembering in an Age of Forgetting (Graywolf Forum Three)


In the current information age, "memory" is as likely to be an attribute of a computer as a human being. In Graywolf Forum Three: The Business of Memory, editor Charles Baxter invites twelve creative writers to contemplate the externalization of what was once so deeply personal. The resulting essays address a provocative range of topics: the explosion of interest in the memoir; the recovered-memory movement; America in the grip of an "amnesia plague;" the need for coherent stories of our past to help us organize our present; and forgetfulness--political, cultural, and literary--and the shame and allure it holds. Throughout, these fascinating pieces illuminate the art of remembering in a time when memory has become a highly measurable commodity.Contributors:Charles BaxterRichard BauschKaren BrennanBernard CooperLydia DavisSteve EricksonAlvin GreenbergPatricia HamplMargot LiveseyJames A.

Dead Languages (Graywolf Rediscovery)


Washington State Book Award, 1990 Silver Medal, Commonwealth Club of California Book Awards, 1990 From the moment his mother tries unsuccessfully to coax him into saying "Philadelphia," Jeremy Zorn's life is framed by his unwieldy attempts at articulation. Through family rituals with his word-obsessed parents and sister, failed first love, an ill-fated run for class president, as the only Jewish boy on an otherwise all-black basketball team, all of the passages of Jeremy's life are marked in some way by his stutter and his wildly off-the-mark attempts at a cure. It is only when he enters college and learns his strong-willed mother is dying that he realizes all languages, when used as hiding places for the heart, are dead ones.

Tolstoy's Dictaphone: Technology and the Muse (Graywolf Forum)

Tolstoy's Dictaphone: Technology and the Muse (Graywolf Forum)


When the great Russian writer Tolstoy was first offered the use of a brand new invention called the Dictaphone, he refused it, saying that it was sure to be "too dreadfully exciting" and would distract him from his literary endeavors.For this provocative launch of the Graywolf Forum series, Sven Birkerts invited a number of literary writers to tell him how they were reacting to the technological innovatios of our day. Do the "dreadful excitements" promised by a digital future cause us to forfeit our time-honored cultural traditions for dubious gain? Or will the electronic millennium usher in an unprecedented age of interconnectedness and opportunities for wider communication?In the tradition of the Graywolf Annuals, this first Graywolf Forum presents a wide range of responses from contemporary creative writers.Contributors:Sven BirkertsHarvey BlumeDaniel Mark EpsteinJonathan FranzenThomas FrickAlice FultonAlbert GoldbarthCarolyn GuyerGerald HowardWendy LesserRalph LombregliaCarole MasoAskold MelnyczukRobert PinskyWulf RehderLynne Sharon SchwartzTom SleighMark SloukaPaul West

I Curse the River of Time: A Novel (Lannan Translation Selection (Graywolf Hardcover))

I Curse the River of Time: A Novel (Lannan Translation Selection (Graywolf Hardcover))


An enthralling novel of a mother and son's turbulent relationship from the author of Out Stealing HorsesNorway, 1989: Communism is unraveling all over Europe. Arvid Jansen, thirty-seven, is trying to bridge the yawning gulf that opened up years earlier between himself and his mother. He is in the throes of a divorce, and she has just been diagnosed with cancer. Over a few intense autumn days, Arvid struggles to find a new footing in his life. As he attempts to negotiate the present changes around him, he casts his mind back to holidays on the beach with his brothers, and to the early days of his courtship. Most importantly, he revisits the idealism of his communist youth, when he chose the factory floor over the college education his mother had struggled so hard to provide. Back then, Arvid's loyalty to his working-class background outweighed his mother's wish for him to escape it.  As Petterson's masterful narrative shifts effortlessly through the years, we see Arvid tentatively circling his mother, unable to tell her what she already knows he is thinking. In its piercing portrait of their layered relationship, I Curse the River of Time bears all the hallmarks of Petterson's compassion for humanity that has won him readers the world over.

The Stranger Manual: Poems (Graywolf Press)


Catie Rosemurgy's second collection, The Stranger Manual, is a wild rush across the American grain. The poems follow an unlikely character named Miss Peach, an unpredictable, cartoonish shapeshifter, who emerges onto the page dragging the myth of the individual, various gender scripts, and the grand tradition of the poetic persona along with her. She becomes an outsider, a hero, an intruder, a rock star. The town around her, Gold River, is also always in flux—part center and part mirage. The Stranger Manual celebrates the fractious nature of self and society in poems that are fabulist, speculative, and alluring.
