Conquest of the New Word

Experimental Fiction and Translation in the Americas

Conquest of the New Word

Experimental Fiction and Translation in the Americas

By: Johnny Payne

Latin American fiction won great acclaim in the United States during the 1960s, when many North American writers and critics felt that our national writing had reached a low ebb. In this study of experimental fiction from both Americas, Johnny Payne argues that the North American reception of the "boom" in Latin American fiction distorted the historical grounding of this writing, erroneously presenting it as mainly an exotic "magical realism." He offers new readings that detail the specific, historical relation between experimental fiction and various authors' careful, deliberate deformations and reformations of the political rhetoric of the modern state. Payne juxtaposes writers from Argentina and Uruguay with North American authors, setting up suggestive parallels between the diverse but convergent practices of writers on both continents. He considers Nelson Marra in conjunction with Donald Barthelme and Gordon Lish; Teresa Porzecanski with Harry Mathews; Ricardo Piglia with John Barth; Silvia Schmid and Manuel Puig with Fanny Howe and Lydia Davis; and Jorge Luis Borges and Luisa Valenzuela with William Burroughs and Kathy Acker. With this innovative, dual-continent approach, Conquest of the New Word will be of great interest to everyone working in Latin American literature, women's studies, translation studies, creative writing, and cultural theory.

Covenant of Aries

By: Johnny S. Geddes

When a mysterious substance starts jamming communications and a string of catastrophes bring the world to the brink, many thought it could get no worse. Some believed that God could not let people endure a fate so cruel, so terrifying. They were all wrong. Because what's coming at Mankind from a brightening star in the constellation Aries is not his God, it's the opposite. Worse, these are demons from an ancient civilisation known only to a select few. And one of those few has summoned them with a blood sacrifice. Somehow, amid a collapsing society, five men and a woman must aim past the fuzz of confusion to strike at the heart of the very things that are feeding off the terror of a planet in order to grow stronger. But can they do it before the first demon lands to reclaim its Dread Empire on Earth?

The Dreamhunter's Diaries

By: Johnny Reynolds

The Dreamhunter's Diaries

The Big Pipedream Society Companion

By: Johnny Reynolds

A satirical mirror of leading politicians and the national media, to enable them to see their grotesque image... Following on from Johnny Reynold’s first satirical novel The Big Pipedream Society, The Dreamhunter’s Diaries is a socio-political and quasi-economical satirical farce that makes reference to real-life situations. It focuses on the ludicrousness of the ruling establishment and the state-governed media. Written in the spirit of Jon Steward, the book was borne out of Johnny’s opinion that David Cameron and Ed Milliband are both equally politically irresponsible and too petty-minded to be seen as trustworthy statesmen and qualified politicians. Johnny also wrote the book in response to his anguish and despair at seeing Britain – the country that he has always been deeply committed to – in a state of decline. He has observed, with sorrow, the dignified institution of the monarchy reduce itself to a show and tourist curiosity. “The moral downfall of the institution of chuch, which in my early times was seen as a pillar of ethical standards worth following, no longer exists,” he notes. These observations have all been woven into The Dreamhunter’s Diaries. The book will appeal to those who enjoy reading about important social and political issues and who read and enjoyed Johnny’s first book, The Big Pipedream Society.

Longitudinal Qualitative Research

Analyzing Change Through Time

By: Johnny Saldaña

Johnny Saldana outlines the basic elements of longitudinal qualitative data, focusing on micro-levels of change observed within individual cases and groups of participants. He draws upon his primary experience in theater education to examine time and change in longitudinal qualitative studies; contending that "playwrights and qualitative researchers write for the same purpose: to create a unique, insightful, and engaging text about the human condition." Offering sixteen specific questions through which researchers may approach the analysis of longitudinal qualitative data, Professor Saldana presents a text intended as a primer for fellow newcomers to long term inquiry, based on traditional social science methods from traditional qualitative and quantitative paradigms, but enriched by an artist-educator's unconventional perspective.

Zahal; A Love Story

By: Johnny wallman

What you were in the army?' is the most common reaction on hearing that this somewhat puny, less than athletic Johnny Wallman served in the Israeli army. Johnny Wallman left behind the relative comfort of his English life for a life in Israel and the Israeli army. Zahal: A Love Story is the story of a love affair with a country and its people. A love affair of beauty yet pain, where hope turned to disappointment. Thirty years on, finally, many of the scars have faded leaving memories of true friendships, inspiration and a beautiful country. This is an honest and intimate account of a time in Israel, a country of crazy paradoxes, ironies and contradictions, a country genuinely seeking peace with its neighbours and itself. Profits from this novel will be given to the 'Lone Soldier Centre' helping soldiers without families in Israel.

Longhorns East

By: Johnny D. Boggs

From nine-time Spur Award–winning Western author Johnny D. Boggs comes the incredible story of the biggest, longest, wildest cattle drive in America’s history—from the heart of Texas to New York City. . . . LONGHORNS EAST Tom Candy Ponting was no ordinary trail boss. He didn’t smoke, chew, cuss, or even carry a gun. Unlike his competitors, he learned how to herd cows on a farm back in England—and how to handle cowboys in bareknuckle prizefights. But his skills and know-how were really put to the test when he accepts a bet he might live to regret: lead a cattle drive from Texas to New York City. Not one to back down on a dare, Ponting assembles the motliest crew of cowboys ever seen—Texans, Englishmen, Mexicans, Freemen, Cherokee—and charts a course through the unfriendliest country to move seven hundred head of cattle, never easy in the best of times. Along the way, they’ll cross railroads and rustlers, hucksters and hustlers, with detours and dead ends aplenty. But if they succeed, the team will make more than just a whole lot of money. They will make history. . . . Inspired by the real-life adventures of legendary cattleman Tom Candy Ponting, Longhorns East takes readers on an unforgettable journey as big and bold as the America itself. “Boggs is unparalleled in evoking the gritty reality of the Old West.” —The Shootist “Johnny Boggs has produced another instant page-turner. . . . Don’t put down the book until you finish it.” —Tony Hillerman on Killstraight “Johnny D. Boggs tells a crisply powerful story that rings true more than two centuries after the bloody business was done.” —The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier on The Despoilers

Congoism

Congo Discourses in the United States from 1800 to the Present

By: Johnny Van Hove

To justify the plundering of today's Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. intellectual elites have continuously produced dismissive Congo discourses. Tracing these discourses in great depth and breadth for the first time, Johnny Van Hove shows how U.S. intellectuals (and their influential European counterparts) have been using the Congo in similar fashions for their own goals. Analyzing intellectuals as diverse as W.E.B. Du Bois, Joseph Conrad, and David Van Reybrouck, the book offers a theorization of Central West Africa, a case study of normalized narratives on the "Other", and a stirring wake up call for all contemporary writers on international history and politics.

Lotus Elise and Exige 1995-2020

The Complete Story

By: Johnny Tipler

Named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Lotus's owner at the time, Romano Artioli of Bugatti fame, the Lotus Elise was launched at the Frankfurt Show in 1995. In the subsequent twenty-five years it has not only established itself as the embodiment of what Lotus stands for, it retains a unique place in the international sports car market. No other manufacturer came up with a car to seriously rival the Elise, nor the Exige, in terms of handling dexterity on both road and racetrack, and it aptly characterizes the definition of a sports car. Written in Johnny Tipler's inimitable style this book includes a detailed evolution of the Elise and Exige, including full specification tables; interviews with key individuals involved in their design and development, including Richard Rackham, Gavan Kershaw, Neil Thomas, Russell Carr, Barney Hatt and Andy Pleavin; Elisa Artioli on her namesake, its past and future; motor sport adaptions and successes and finally, driving experiences on road and track. The production of the Elise and Exige was sustained through four corporate upheavals. Now in Geely ownership, the future for Lotus looks bright.

Insightful and highly entertaining!' – Jonathan Maberry, New York Times, on the Coronam series Reeling from the defeat of the armada and Enskaran counter-attacks, Hyrax searches for new revenue to rebuild. Its interests on Maaraw are threatened by revolution, while its mines on Silangan are shut down with native uprising. The occupied worlds bleed money and new unrest.

The queen’s lover Sir Ethan Sommerled, savior of the planet, Morgan’s one-time patron, is at the center of the controversy. His path is precarious, his power tempered by politics of court. Morgan must find other allies if he is to return to savage Tirgwenin. But there is a third planet obsessed with Jareth’s World. On Temple the prophet knows the secret, sees the threat, and rallies the Saved to defend civilization in a holy and bloody crusade.

Ray Davies

A Complicated Life

By: Johnny Rogan

NOW UPDATED WITH A NEW EPILOGUE In the summer of 1964, aged twenty, Ray Davies led the Kinks to fame with their number one hit ‘You Really Got Me’. Within months, they were established among the pop elite, swamped by fans and fast becoming renowned for the rioting at their gigs. But Ray’s journey from working-class Muswell Hill to the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame was tumultuous in the extreme, featuring breakdowns, bitter lawsuits, spectacular punch-ups and a ban from entering the USA. His relationship with his brother Dave is surely the most ferocious and abusive in music history. Based on countless interviews conducted over several decades, this richly detailed and revelatory biography presents the most frank and intimate portrait yet of Ray Davies.

By: David Goldblatt,Johnny Acton

The must-have guide to the Summer Olympic Games This summer, millions of Americans will tune into the Olympic Games, the largest and most popular sporting event in the world.

Luckily, David Goldblatt and Johnny Acton have created this utterly thorough and always fun guide to the rules, strategy, and history of each sport. Originally timed to 2012 London Games, their book is every bit as useful for Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Idiot

Beating The Curse and Enjoying the Game of Life

By: Johnny Damon,Peter Golenbock

Dear Baseball Fan: I know what you’re thinking: Couldn’t he have come up with a better title? My mother agrees with you, but unfortunately Genius just doesn’t have the same ring. Let’s get something straight right away. I may be an idiot, but I’ve tried to do more in this book than just revisit the Red Sox’s Miracle Season. I want to give you a sense of what it’s like to grow up with baseball dreams, to spend long years climbing the ladder, and then over the course of three years to see the building blocks of those dreams fall into place. In this book, you’ll be reading about the son of an Army staff sergeant—a thrill-seeking Orlando kid who at age thirteen was gifted with a man’s body, including rare speed and reflexes. It was some straight talk from my brother that kept me from abandoning that talent, which led to my eventually catching on with the Kansas City Royals and later the Oakland A’s. Starting in 2002 with the Red Sox, I got to see what can happen when a determined front office decides to roll the dice and acquire players who, like me, leave the thinking out of it—who trust their instincts and play team baseball. Forget what you’ve read about the posse of long-haired rebels who eventually made up the 2004 Red Sox. I'll give you the straight dope, including who's got the biggest mouth (hint: his first name is Kevin); what Pedro Martinez was doing all those times when you couldn’t find him on the bench; what game David Ortiz should never play; and why I sometimes question Curt Schilling’s sanity. Memo to Curt: the statue of you is being erected. What’s it like being responsible for the hopes of millions? In the fall of 2004 my teammates and I got to find out. What I’ve tried to do in these pages is bring you inside, show you the black humor that erupted when it seemed we could do nothing right, and the immense joy that followed when 25 guys took turns picking each other up, and by sheer force of will reached baseball’s summit. Red Sox Nation (both natives and new arrivals), this one’s for you. —Johnny Damon, #18

Porsche Carrera follows the development and design of the Carrrera car dynasty, from the origins of the Carrera line in the 550 and 356 models through the highly tuned race cars of the 1960s to the largely hand-crafted, air-cooled cars of the 1970s and the 1980s. The book features detailed profiles of all Carrera models, including roadgoing and race models, prototypes, special builds and rare cars; in-depth explorations of the engineering and tuning of the cars and buyer's guides for the different models.

Foreword by Jurgen Barth, and over 400 colour photographs, many specially commissioned.

Of Heroes, Homes and Honey: Coronam Book III

By: Johnny Worthen

'A clever and exciting collision of space opera, high adventure, and devious politics. Insightful and highly entertaining!' – Jonathan Maberry, New York Times, on the Coronam series Destruction comes, but subtler now, in spurts, whispers and hums. The great powers roil in internal conflict, while the prophet calls for new war. Where the enemy ends and dissatisfaction begins blurs the lines of battle. The many stir against the few, led forward by the drone of alien bees, and the words of a child on far away Tirgwenin. The powerful know war and time is against the Family. Genocide approaches. Heroes will fall, others rise and the homes of humanity shall be remade.

Adam's Isle

Adam's Isle

By: Johnny Mack Hood

I am writing this book "The Life as a Minister" to share with the Christian faith and leaders my lasting excitement while serving in a leadership capacity as a minister. No other area of intellectual work has gotten my attention that overlaps so many fields of knowledge. I looked at how science and humanities offer such varied insight into troubling questions of our time. I believe any one who use this text will come to an understanding that ministry starts by serving, which is the door for the blessings to flow. As a minister, I found that the way ministry is conducted has a social change as well. The church is affected by how we live and respond to our surroundings. This is also found in my introduction as well. The inspiration by the Holy Spirit to put in writing the uniqueness of how God deals with His highest creation (man). In this book you will find some richness that will guide you on your road to victory. I believe without fail that in great specifics throughout the book that you will come to an understanding of how the Life as a Minister really is. There is no glamour by far in the position as a minister however I was compelled to share my walk with you. I believe that while you are experiencing the particularly chosen words demonstrating some characteristics that will cause you to look at your walk. God will be in your mist and will quicken your spirit illuminating His word to you. Also I want you to understand your walk may not be like mine but if you achieve the elevation to this position you would have some closer insight on what could possibly be awaiting you. Within these pages hold some dear events that have molded my character and way of life. Surely there will be times of mourning but when God is for you then who in the world can be against you. Enjoy the richness.
