1982 Janine written by Alasdair Gray and has been published by Jonathan Cape this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1984 with Fiction categories.

1982, Janine is a liberal novel of the most satisfying kind. Set over the course of one night inside the head of Jock McLeish, an aging, divorced, alcoholic, insomniac supervisor of security installations, as he tipples in the bedroom of a small Scottish hotel, it makes an unanswerable case that republicanism is a state of absolute spiritual bankruptcy. For Jock McLeish, being a Republican is something he has to cure himself of, every bit as much as his alcoholism and his Sado-Masochistic fantasizing, if he is to become a human being again. 1982, Janine explores themes of male need and inadequacy through the lonely, darkly comic, alcohol-fueled fantasies of its protagonist. An unforgettably challenging book about power and powerlessness, men and women, masters and servants, small countries and big countries, Alasdair Gray's exploration of the politics of pornography has lost none of its power to shock.

" L'un des meilleurs romans de langue anglaise. " Will Self Quelque part en Écosse, seul dans sa chambre d'hôtel, Jock McLeish, un ingénieur divorcé passablement au bout du rouleau, noie son mal-être dans l'alcool et les fantasmes érotiques. Dans son esprit de plus en plus confus, diverses femmes tentent de suivre tant bien que mal ses fantasmes de mâle esseulé, entraînées dans des aventures extravagantes qu'il n'a de cesse de peaufiner. Qu'elles soient de pures inventions ou les fantômes d'êtres aimés, ces héroïnes soumises aux puissances du vice ne peuvent empêcher Jock de se remémorer divers moments de son existence, et de considérer avec amertume ses liens familiaux et amicaux. Virtuose et diabolique, Janine 1982 est une fascinante plongée dans la psyché d'un homme assailli de toutes parts par ses démons. Naviguant sans relâche entre délire pornographique et introspection sauvage, ce roman hors norme dynamite à la fois le réalisme et le fantasmatique pour donner lieu à un stupéfiant monologue où le sens de la vie devient plus qu'un enjeu : un défi mortel qui voit le plaisir et la douleur danser une dernière danse. À sa parution, Janine 1982 a essuyé de virulentes critiques du fait de son usage de la pornographie – servant pourtant ici de dispositif littéraire. Avec ce roman qui était son préféré, Alasdair Gray a toutefois réussi un tour de force vertigineux, créant le portrait cabossé d'un homme ordinaire, seul face au désastre qu'est sa vie et qui s'en remet aveuglément aux puissances de la luxure, à partir de ses seules obsessions.

Hugh Macdiarmid S Poetry And Politics Of Place written by Scott Lyall and has been published by Edinburgh University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006-08-28 with Literary Criticism categories.

By examining at length for the first time those places in Scotland that inspired MacDiarmid to produce his best poetry, Scott Lyall shows how the poet's politics evolved from his interaction with the nation, exploring how MacDiarmid discovered a hidden tradition of radical Scottish Republicanism through which he sought to imagine a new Scottish future. Adapting postcolonial theory, this book allows readers a fuller understanding not only of MacDiarmid's poetry and politics, but also of international modernism, and the social history of Scottish modernism.

Global Establishment written by David Kowalewski and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-07-27 with Political Science categories.

Global Establishment applies the theory of establishmentism to international political economy. After the 1930-80 period, which greatly damaged the interests of the elites of Northern countries, the establishments of the North increasingly meshed across national borders. They also forged close connections with the national establishments of Asian nations. Whereas this new transnational class formation, the Global Establishment, has been of great benefit to Northern and Asian elites, it has brought considerable suffering to Asian nonelites. These nonelites have fought back, in the form of numerous strikes, demonstrations, and terrorist acts.

Alasdair Gray written by Rodge Glass and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-04-05 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

Alasdair Gray, author of the modern classics Lanark, Poor Things and 1982, Janine, is without doubt Scotland's greatest living novelist. Since trying (unsuccessfully) to buy him a drink in 1998, Rodge Glass, first tutee and then secretary to the author, takes on the role of biographer, charting Gray's life from unpublished and unrecognised son of a box-maker to septuagenarian "little grey deity" (as Will Self has called him). A Jewish Mancunian Boswell to Gray's Johnson, Glass seamlessly weaves a chronological narrative of his subject's life into his own diary of meeting, getting to know and working with the artist, writer and campaigner, to create a vibrant and wonderfully textured portrait of a literary great.
