    University of Minnesota Press 2003; US$ 58.50

    The aim of this thoroughly unconventional work is to demonstrate that Herman Melville?s Moby Dick and Ludwig Wittgenstein?s Philosophical Investigations are, in effect, one and the same book. Whale! not only successfully reveals the vital intersections between Melville and Wittgenstein but also makes a compelling argument for why such intersections... more...

    In Other People's Skin , Tracy Price-Thompson and TaRessa Stovall, along with fellow authors Elizabeth Atkins and Desiree Cooper, take on one of the most controversial topics within the African-American community: the self-hatred caused by intra-racial prejudice and the ongoing obsession with skin tone and hair texture.

  • The Complete Idiot's Guide to American Literatureby Laurie E. Rozakis

    Penguin Group Inc. 1999; US$ 18.95

    You're no idiot, of course. You know that Samuel Clemens had a better-known pen name, Moby Dick is a famous whale, and the Raven only said,"Nevermore." But when it comes to understanding the great works of Mark Twain, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe, you'd rather rent the videos than head to your local library. Don't tear up your library card... more...

  • American Modernism's Expatriate Sceneby Daniel Katz

    Edinburgh University Press 2007; US$ 89.55

    This study takes as its point of departure an essential premise: that the widespread phenomenon of expatriation in American modernism is less a flight from the homeland than a dialectical return to it, but one which renders uncanny all tropes of familiarity and immediacy which 'fatherlands' and 'mother tongues' are traditionally seen... more...

  • The Italian American Readerby Bill Tonelli

    HarperCollins 2009; US$ 13.99

    This anthology -- the first general-reader collection of writing by Italian American authors -- is part manifesto, part Sunday dinner. A gathering of voices old and new, some speak in the accents of another age, some completely contemporary and assured, and all together for the first time. To stand with all the other popular media images we represent,... more...

  • The Fun of Itby Lillian Ross; David Remnick

    Random House Publishing Group 2007; US$ 27.00

    William Shawn once called The Talk of the Town the soul of the magazine. The section began in the first issue, in 1925. But it wasn't until a couple of years later, when E. B. White and James Thurber arrived, that the Talk of the Town story became what it is today: a precise piece of journalism that always gets the story and has a little fun along... more...
