Notes on a Dirty Old Man

Autor: Frank Schäfer

Número de Páginas: 613

Eine Hommage von Frank Schäfer. Obwohl er spätestens seit Mitte der Siebzigerjahre einer der auflagenstärksten Autoren der Gegenkultur war, hat Charles Bukowski seinen Undergroundstatus nie verloren. Wie ehedem wird der "Dirty Old Man" als degoutanter Latrinendichter und literarisches Leichtgewicht abgetan, von Feministinnen verachtet wegen seiner vermeintlichen Misogynie. Wenngleich Horst Schmidt in seinem rezeptionsgeschichtlichen Standardwerk "The Germans love me for some reason. Charles Bukowski und Deutschland" die enge Beziehung Bukowskis zur Bundesrepublik nachzeichnet, gibt es hierzulande kaum umfangreichere literarische Darstellungen. Frank Schäfer schließt diese Lücke. Sein Band ist nicht nur für Fachidioten und Literaturkundige gedacht, er richtet sich explizit an ein größeres Publikum. Es ist ein erzählendes, gewissermaßen unlexikographisches Lexikon, eine Bukowskipedia, die in Feuilletons, Zitatcollagen, Interviews etc. den Stand der Forschung auf lesbare, bestenfalls literarische Weise zusammenfasst.

Lines of Resistance

Autor: Adrian Grafe , Jessica Stephens

Número de Páginas: 251

Resistance is a key concept for understanding the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and for approaching the poetry of the period. This collection of 15 critical essays explores how poetry and resistance interact, set against a philosophical, historical and cultural background. In the light of the upheavals of the age, and the changing perception of the nature of language, resistance is seen to lie at the core of poetic preoccupations, moving poetic language forward. From this perspective, the resistance of poetry is connected with the human call to solidarity, resilience, and, ultimately, meaning. The volume covers poetry from Hardy, Yeats and Auden, among others, to contemporary writers like Hugo Williams and Linton Kwesi Johnson.
