Can't Be Faded

The Stooges Brass Band always had big dreams. From playing in the streets of New Orleans in the mid-1990s to playing stages the world over, they have held fast to their goal of raising brass band music and musicians to new heights - professionally and musically. In the intervening years, the band's members have become family, courted controversy, and trained a new generation of musicians, becoming one of the city's top brass bands along the way. Two decades after their founding, they have decided to tell their story. Can't Be Faded: Twenty Years in the New Orleans Brass Band Game is a collaboration between musician and ethnomusicologist Kyle DeCoste and more than a dozen members of the Stooges Brass Band, past and present. It is the culmination of five years of interviews, research, and writing. Told with humor and candor, it's as much a personal account of the Stooges' careers as it is a story of the city's musicians and, even more generally, a coming-of-age tale about black men in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. DeCoste and the band members take readers into the barrooms, practice rooms, studios, tour vans, and streets where the music is made and brotherhoods are shaped and strengthened. Comprised of lively firsthand accounts and honest dialogue, Can't Be Faded is a dynamic approach to collaborative research that offers a sensitive portrait of the humans behind the horns.

Hopeless Love

Hopeless Love

Mary-Michelle DeCoste

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS
2024
pokkari
Book three of the Italian poet Matteo Maria Boiardo's epic poem Orlando innamorato (Orlando in Love) was published posthumously in 1494; in 1532, the poet Ludovico Ariosto published his final version of a sequel, Orlando furioso (The Frenzy of Orlando). At the end of his poem, Boiardo tells the tale of the princess Fiordispina's unfulfilled desire for the maiden warrior Bradamante, a story that Ariosto retells in the body of his later work. In Hopeless Love, Mary-Michelle DeCoste examines both versions of the Fiordispina and Bradamante episode using feminist and queer theory. DeCoste then links these treatments of queer female desire to their wider cultural contexts by exploring their antecedents in genres such as medieval romance epic and hagiography and by examining similar tropes in other sixteenth-century romance epics. An important work on a previously overlooked subject, Hopeless Love uncovers the diffusion of queer female desire in Italian literature and promotes a better understanding of sexuality in medieval and Renaissance Europe.

Lilacs

Lilacs

Kelsay Books

pokkari
In this exquisite collection, DeCoste distills quotidian and epiphanic memories of a woman's life- a childhood crush, a bedtime story, a brief affair - into moments of breath on the page. Set among lilacs, forsythias, crickets and snakes, composed while reading Arabic poetry and The Economist, DeCoste's poems find their way into the reader's own experience and memory. Lilacs is a gift of attention. -Lisa L. Moore, author of 24 Hours of Men and Archibald A. Hill Professor of English at The University of Texas at Austin These witty, acerbic, formally deft poems offer many pleasures as they anatomize the estrangements and infidelities of various intimacies. In such poems as her terrific sonnet "Is That All There Is?", DeCoste is clear-eyed, unsentimental, and heart-wrenchingly good. -Geoffrey Brock, author of Voices Bright Flags DeCoste's handling of language, in both free and formal verse, is as deft and incisive as it is lyrical. Of special delight is the way DeCoste uses traditional forms to their supple utmost to shape and clarify the often-murky landscape of modern life. The poems in Lilacs linger in the mind and heart of the reader. -Leslie Schultz, author of Concertina

The Vocation of Evelyn Waugh

The Vocation of Evelyn Waugh

D. Marcel DeCoste

Routledge
2019
nidottu
Arguing against the critical commonplace that Evelyn Waugh’s post-war fiction represents a decline in his powers as a writer, D. Marcel DeCoste offers detailed analyses of Waugh's major works from Brideshead Revisited to Unconditional Surrender. Rather than representing an ill-advised departure from his true calling as an iconoclastic satirist, DeCoste suggests, these novels form a cohesive, artful whole precisely as they explore the extent to which the writer’s and the Catholic’s vocations can coincide. For all their generic and stylistic diversity, these novels pursue a new, sustained exploration of Waugh’s art and faith both. As DeCoste shows, Waugh offers in his later works an under-remarked meditation on the dangers of a too-avid devotion to art in the context of modern secularism, forging in the second half of his career a literary achievement that both narrates and enacts a contrary, and Catholic, literary vocation.

Professing Darkness

Professing Darkness

D. Marcel DeCoste

LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2024
sidottu
Professing Darkness confirms the centrality of Catholic thought, imagery, and sacrament to the spiritual and ethical outlook of the work of Cormac McCarthy and, more specifically, its consistent assessment of Enlightenment values and their often-catastrophic realization in American history. D. Marcel DeCoste surveys McCarthy's fiction from both his Tennessee and Southwest periods, with chapters devoted to eight of his published novels—from Outer Dark to The Road—and a conclusion that examines the writer's screenplay for The Counselor and the duology of The Passenger and Stella Maris. DeCoste's attentive, wide-ranging interpretations demonstrate that McCarthy's work mounts a sustained critique of core Enlightenment ideals and their devastating results in the American context, especially for Indigenous peoples, the environment, the viability of community, and the integrity of a self irreducible to the status of a commodity. Professing Darkness shows that Roman Catholic understandings of Penance and Eucharist, along with specific Catholic teachings—such as those regarding the goodness of Creation, the nature of evil, the insufficiency of the self, and the radical invitation to conversion—enable McCarthy's revelatory engagement with American Enlightenment. An important contribution to the ever-expanding critical literature on a towering contemporary author, Professing Darkness offers an innovative reading of both the spiritual and political valences of McCarthy's writing.
