The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way - Charles Bukowski - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way - Charles Bukowski - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

In The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way , Charles Bukowski considers the art of writing, and the art of living as writer. Bringing together a variety of previously uncollected stories, columns, reviews, introductions, and interviews, this book finds him approaching the dynamics of his chosen profession with cynical aplomb, deflating pretentions and tearing down idols armed with only a typewriter and a bottle of beer.From numerous tales of the author''s adventures at poetry readings, parties, film sets, and bars, to an unprecedented gathering of Bukowski''s singular literary criticism, the author discusses his writing practices and his influences. The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way is a perfect guide to the man behind the myth and the disciplined artist behind the boozing brawler.

The Go-Between - Osman Yousefzada - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE BIOGRAPHERS'' CLUB SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE''Full of love, wisdom and yearning'' Kit de Waal A coming-of-age story set in Birmingham in the 1980s and 1990s, The Go-Between opens a window into a closed migrant community living in a red-light district on the wrong side of the tracks. The adult world is seen through Osman''s eyes as a child: his own devout migrant Muslim patriarchal community, with its divide between the world of men and women, living cheek-by-jowl with parallel migrant communities. Alternative masculinities compete with strict gender roles, and female erasure and honour-based violence are committed, even as empowering female friendships prevail. The stories Osman tells, some fantastical and humorous, others melancholy and even harrowing, take us from the Birmingham of Osman''s childhood to the banks of the river Kabul and the river Indus, and, eventually, to the London of his teenage years.Osman weaves in and out of these worlds, struggling with the dual burdens of racism and community expectations, as he is forced to realise it is no longer possible to exist in the spaces in between.

This book is Anna''s journey of self-discovery, but it is also a guide to losing oneself in the greater majesty of the natural world. With great lyricism she explores how it feels to climb as a woman, the pleasures of the physical demands of climbing, fear and challenge, but more than anything, it is about a joyful connection to the mountains.
