Honours[edit] Politics[edit] Стихи и бызлы - Помощь зала. Спасибо. Я прочла, и мне категорически не понравилось. В Пратчета Вы, коллега, не верите, потому что читаете его по-русски. Я точно так же в Вудхауза не верил всё детство. Из авторов беллетристики меня в последнее время очень радовали Jasper Fforde и Thomas Bernhard.
Из т.н. фантастики Greg Egan. Не снобируйте, коллега, Вудхауз мне и в переводе нравится (а в сериале – и того пуще), т. ч. сомневаюсь, что поверю в мир Пратчетта на каком угодно языке. У меня некогда не будет достаточно английского, чтобы читать, как на русском, поэтому сразу скажите – перечисленные Вами переводились? Беркович порадовал чрезвычайно. Угу.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a coming-of-age epistolary novel by American writer Stephen Chbosky which was first published on February 1, 1999 by Pocket Books. Its narrator is an introverted teenager known as Charlie, who describes his experiences in a series of letters to an anonymous stranger.
Set in the early 1990s, the novel follows Charlie through his freshman year of high school in a Pittsburgh suburb. Intelligent beyond his years, he is an unconventional thinker; as the story begins, the reader learns that Charlie is also shy and unpopular. Chbosky took five years to develop and publish The Perks of Being a Wallflower, creating the characters and other aspects of the story from his own memories. The novel addresses themes permeating adolescence, including introversion, sexuality, and drug use. Chbosky makes several references to other literary works, films and pop culture in general. Plot[edit] In an epilogue, Charlie is discovered by his parents in a trancelike state. Raymond Carver.
Raymond Clevie Carver, Jr. (May 25, 1938 – August 2, 1988) was an American short story writer and poet. Carver was a major writer of the late 20th century and a major force in the revitalization of the American short story in literature in the 1980s. [citation needed] Early life[edit] Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, a mill town on the Columbia River, and grew up in Yakima, Washington.[1] His father, a skilled sawmill worker from Arkansas, was a fisherman and a heavy drinker. Carver's mother worked on and off as a waitress and a retail clerk. His one brother, James Franklin Carver, was born in 1943. Writing career[edit] Carver continued his studies first at Chico State University and then at Humboldt State College in Arcata, California, where he studied with Richard Cortez Day and received his B.A. in 1963.
In the mid-1960s Carver and his family lived in Sacramento, California, where he briefly worked at a bookstore before taking a position as a night custodian at Mercy Hospital. Letter to a Child Never Born. Letter to a Child Never Born (Italian: Lettera a un bambino mai nato, 1975) is a novel by Italian author and journalist Oriana Fallaci. It is written as a letter by young professional woman (presumably Fallaci herself) to the fetus she carries in utero; it details the woman's struggle to choose between a career she loves and an unexpected pregnancy, explaining the how life works with examples of her childhood, and warning him/her about the unfairness of the world.
The English translation was first published in 1976. At the end of the English version, the woman has a miscarriage. The book sold four million copies worldwide. As of January 2007, it is out of print. I found a fantastic book:Eloquent Ruby : ruby. Book Marks: Annabel and The Mechanics of Homosexual Intercourse.
Annabel, by Kathleen Winter. Black Cat/Grove Atlantic, 472 pages, $19.95 paper. A baby is born in 1968, in far-from-everywhere northern Labrador, Canada. He is a hermaphrodite – a word unfamiliar to the midwife present at his birth, and to his stoic father and his fanciful mother – with both penis and vagina. His is a masculine world of men who trap for a living. The Mechanics of Homosexual Intercourse, by Lonely Christopher. Odd academic book title.
It’s All Relative: Two Families, Three Dogs, 34 Holidays, and 50 Boxes of Wine (A Memoir), by Wade Rouse. With his fourth memoir, Rouse is venturing into the my-ha-ha-life territory trod for many years by queer predecessors David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs (from both of whom he sought pre-publication blurbs, to no avail). Binding the God: Ursine Essays from the Mountain South, by Jeff Mann. Mann, a prolific writer, is a complex fellow with many audiences. Featured Excerpt – from It’s All Relative, by Wade Rouse Footnotes. T. Coraghessan Boyle. He is a Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California.[1] Life[edit] Boyle grew up in Peekskill, New York,[4] received a B.A. in English and History from the State University of New York at Potsdam in 1968, an M.F.A. (1974) from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, and a Ph.D. (1977) from the University of Iowa.[1][2] Many of Boyle's novels and short stories explore the baby boom generation, its appetites, joys, and addictions.
His themes, such as the often-misguided efforts of the male hero and the slick appeal of the anti-hero, appear alongside brutal satire, humor, and magical realism. His fiction also explores the ruthlessness and the unpredictability of nature and the toll human society unwittingly takes on the environment.[5] His novels include World's End (1987, winner of the Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction); The Road to Wellville (1993);[6] and The Tortilla Curtain (1995, winner of France's Prix Médicis étranger).[7][citation needed] T.C.
