Even as his steel pierced ribs and heart, he was scrambling onto the dying man’s horse, throwing both the corpse and himself against the second enemy. The movements of his attack were continuous. His blade struck a metal plate in quilted brigantine, then slid off and between the plates. The two riders tried to wheel on him together, but he closed with them, thrusting at the closer of them. Snarling, the Cimmerian leaped to the side, away from the long-bladed lances. Two horsemen pounded out of the night, bent low in their saddles, seeming to race shoulder to shoulder to see which would lance Conan first. ![]()

![]() ![]() "Despite assertions to the contrary, exceptional is the magazine editor who truly trusts in the intelligence and creativity of his readership," Heat-Moon writes. The uneven collection of 27 previously published travel essays in "Here, There, Elsewhere" have been rewritten to reflect the author's original intent. For some writers long in the game, such as septuagenarian William Least Heat-Moon (aka William Lewis Trogdon), a collection provides a platform for settling some old scores against magazine editors whom they believe dumbed down their copy. To pull this off, a certain culling should take place, a boiling off of words down to the essential marrow of prose. ![]() Collections for established authors are a sort of "greatest hits" between the covers. ![]() ![]() ![]() You make me so much better and we compliment eachother so well!!

'new fiction', 'hyper-real', and the appalling British tag of 'dirty realism', whilst at the same time being forced to use such a term as 'hyper-real' to locate Carver's writing in opposition to the 'baroque, long-winded projects of postmodernists' in an endeavour to situate Carver's work in a literary and social context. Nesset is uneasy with the various categorizing terms used to designate Carver's fiction: 'new realist', 'minimalist'. 7), a rather tongue-in-cheek description of what is actually close reading that aims to show the 'correspondences and convergences, identifying patterns, tying together Carver's achievement as a unifiable corpus' (p.

By 2012, polls showed support for independence at 10-15%, while support for increased devolution within France was as high as 51% (of which two-thirds would prefer "slightly more" rather than "much more" autonomy). However, only 19% and 42% of those who voted respectively for Gilles Simeoni's autonomist list Femu a Corsica and Jean-Guy Talamoni's separatist Corsica Libera were, according to polling, in favour of independence. The main separatist party, Corsica Libera, achieved 9.85% of votes in the 2010 French regional elections. Corsican nationalism is a nationalist movement in Corsica that advocates more autonomy for the island, if not outright independence from France. ![]() ![]() Set for the most part in the suddenly former German Democratic Republic, Grattan’s book inserts its barely teen-age American protagonist, Michael Sullivan, into the awkward reconciliation between the two Germanys. ![]() ![]() The newest addition to this subgenre is Thomas Grattan’s “ The Recent East” (MCD), a sharply accomplished first novel by a forty-seven-year-old author who up to now has published just a scattering of quietly daring short stories. In his native country, Ludwik had been in love with Janusz, a go-along apparatchik who was happy, even from the down-low, to cling to the Party line: “Having oranges and bananas every month of the year-is that freedom to you?” Although only tentatively out, he feels sexually ahead of the local historical curve: “It occurred to Jacob that he might not have arrived too late for the liberation of Eastern Europe’s gay people.” Tomasz Jedrowski’s “ Swimming in the Dark” (2020) runs in the reverse East-West direction, telling the story of a Polish student, Ludwik, who flees Warsaw for New York before the Solidarity movement is crushed by martial law. In Caleb Crain’s “ Necessary Errors” (2013), Jacob Putnam, a recent Harvard graduate, heads to Prague in 1990 with a “wish to follow history” just after the Velvet Revolution. The end of the Cold War has allowed for a particular niche of historical fiction, transnational novels whose gay male protagonists live out their coming of age against a backdrop of national struggles for freedom and renewal. ![]() ![]() But I’m alert!
