Jayne Anne Phillips grew up in the small town of Buckhannon, West Virginia. The distinctly American landscape of Appalachia—dense with forests and small churches, rich in history and misunderstandings—has been the great setting for her fiction, even as she and her boundless imagination have traveled to other times and places. In these pieces, and in her inimitable first-person voice, at once intimate and wide-ranging, Phillips brings us into her childhood and family, most movingly her mother.

After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process—most of them never before studied or published.

James Augusta Joyce (February 2, 1882 to January 13, 1941), born in Dublin, was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the twentieth century. The following recording was made in 1929 by C.K.

Elena Poniatowska cree que le habría beneficiado dejar el periodismo para dedicarse a la novela, pero no pudo hacerlo porque su profesión la atrapó. En varias tardes de té con el periodista Gustavo Borges en Chimalistac, compartió esta y otras confesiones sobre su oficio. La crónica Tardes de té con Elena, seleccionada por la Fundación Gabo para un taller de Martín Caparrós en 2023, no es una biografía ni una apología, sino un retrato de perfil de la influyente autora mexicana. Gustavo Borges presenta los momentos clave de la obra de Poniatowska con un enfoque agudo y emotivo.

In There is No Humor in Heaven, Dwayne Eutsey challenges the persistent view of Twain as a hostile critic of religion by placing him within the prevailing liberal religious ethos of his time. Eutsey contends Twain’s vocation as a humorist was rooted in his frustrated youthful ambition to become a preacher of the Gospel. Throughout his life, his friendships with several influential liberal ministers, each of them espousing various forms of the era’s diverse progressive theology, informed not only Twain’s evolving religious worldview but his lecture performances and literary output.

El verano de Cervantes surge de toda una vida leyendo Don Quijote de la Mancha. Durante el proceso de escritura de este libro, Antonio Muñoz Molina va entreverando recuerdos de su infancia y de sus primeras lecturas con la revelación del lugar que Don Quijote ha ocupado en su vocación literaria, mostrando además su influencia en otros autores, como Melville, Balzac, Joyce, Thomas Mann o Mark Twain, que han consolidado la novela como la forma narrativa suprema siguiendo la estela de Cervantes.

Una de las obras más autobiográficas y conmovedoras de Paul Auster, en la que investiga y reflexiona sobre la figura del padre. «Unos retratos tan conmovedores como delicadamente percibidos de vidas y relaciones», The New York Times Book Review . «Auster ha inventado un nuevo estilo de prosa», Vulture . «Un escritor cuya obra brilla con originalidad e inteligencia», Don DeLillo. «Integra el corazón y el intelecto, la sensación y la especulación… mientras intenta incansablemente dar sentido a los golpes de la vida», Newsday . «Paul Auster es definitivamente un genio», Haruki Murakami.

Alcide ha quarant'anni, a volte dorme ancora con sua madre, prende sette pasticche al giorno (cinque la mattina e due dopo cena), ed è considerato «un paziente lucido, vigile, collaborativo, dall'eloquio fluido». È un essere umano «difettoso» tra i tanti, ma i suoi difetti stanno tutti dentro quattro pagine di diagnosi controfirmate da uno dei piú famosi psichiatri italiani: «disturbo bipolare», «spettro dell'autismo», «dissociazione dell'io», «antipsicotici», «pensieri di mancata autoconservazione»...

Der heute noch - im Nachklang zu Börne - despektierlich als „widersprüchlicher Charakter" beschriebene Heine kann mit Recht als einer der wenigen „Dichterphilosophen" gelten, bei denen stilistische Eleganz, Esprit und Humor mit tiefer philosophischer Schau und Glaubensbekenntnis ein untrennbares Ganzes bilden. Ein paar Verse nur von Heinrich Heine haben mehr Wärme, aber eben auch mehr philosophische Essenz und Tiefe als tausend laufende Regalmeter deutscher Kathederphilosophie zusammengenommen.

Mary Wollstonecraft is widely hailed as the mother of modern feminism. The book that made her famous, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, is a work of worldwide renown. Yet the range of her achievements as a thinker and writer reach far beyond this text. She was a multi-faceted author, and although the condition of women was a constant preoccupation throughout her life, she wrote on a wide variety of topics and in a range of literary forms, some of which she created herself.
