Graham Greene and the Politics of Popular Fiction and Film

Graham Greene and the Politics of Popular Fiction and Film

B. Thomson

Palgrave Macmillan
2009
sidottu
One of the most popular, respected and controversial writers of the twentieth century, Greene's work has still attracted relatively little scholarly comment. Thomson charts the intricate dance between his novels and screenplays, his many audiences, and an intellectual establishment reluctant to identify the work of a popular writer as 'literature'.

Graham Greene: The Dangerous Edge

Graham Greene: The Dangerous Edge

Judith Adamson

Palgrave Macmillan
1990
sidottu
Since the war Graham Greene has travelled habitually to the world's trouble-spots and has provided leading newspapers and journals with articles about what he saw. While contending that a writer must be free of political affiliations he has commmitted himself to many countries and causes, and while insisting that literature must never be used for political ends he has written novels informed by a political urgency. The Dangerous Edge is about his political reportage and how the observations that formed it were transformed into literature. It is about how a novelist who struggled to record public issues dispassionately became in the process an important political conscience.

A new title in Palgrave Macmillan's Literary Lives series, this is a biographical narrative of Graham Greene's literary career. Among other things, it explores his motives for writing; the literary and cinematic influences that shaped his work; his writing routine and the importance of his childhood experience. Greene was elusive and enigmatic, and this book teases out the fiction from his autobiographies, the autobiography from his fictions, sharing Paul Theroux's view that you may not know Greene from his face or speech 'but from his writing, you know everything.'

Graham Greene: A Life In Letters

Graham Greene: A Life In Letters

Richard Greene

Abacus
2008
nidottu
One of the undisputed masters of English prose in the twentieth century, Graham Greene (1904-91) wrote tens of thousands of personal letters. This substantial volume presents a new and engrossing account of his life constructed out of his own words. Meticulously chosen and engagingly annotated, this selection of Greene's letters - including many to his family and close friends that were unavailable even to his official biographer - gives an entirely new perspective on a life that combined literary achievement, political action, espionage, travel, and romantic entanglement. The letters describe his travels in Mexico, Africa, Malaya, Vietnam, Haiti, Cuba and other trouble spots, where he observed the struggles of victims and victors with a compassionate and truthful eye. The book includes a vast number of unpublished letters to Evelyn Waugh, Auberon Waugh, Anthony Powell, Edith Sitwell, R. K. Narayan, Muriel Spark and other leading writers of the time. Some letters reveal the agonies of his romantic life, especially his relations with his wife, Vivien Greene, and with his mistress Catherine Walston. The sheer range of experience contained in Greene's correspondence defies comparison.

Located among the rolling hills and forests of Oregon, Twisted Timbers is normally a quiet place. The serenity of the area, along with the amazing views and endless hiking trails has made the town a popular tourist destination for years. People come from all over the Pacific Northwest to marvel at the natural beauty of the area. For the last three years, Mitch Thompson has been working with his father Bill, the town sheriff. While preparing the town for the upcoming tourist season, Mitch drives past Graham Park and sees that the iconic Ferris Wheel is lit up and spinning. With the amusement park still weeks away from welcoming guests, Mitch knows that something strange is happening in his town. With the help of Fred Donovan and Stuart Johnson, his fellow officers, Mitch must investigate any strange happenings that are going on inside of Graham Park. When they quickly realize that six trained assassins have gathered and turned the park into their own personal murderous playground, the mood of the night turns much more intense. These trained killers have come to Twisted Timbers with one goal in mind, to make money by killing each other. Is the inexperienced team of officers brave enough to put a stop to anything out of the ordinary that is happening at the park? Will the Twisted Timbers police force have what it takes to make it out alive? Graham Park is a thrill ride from start to finish with enough twists along the way to have you wondering what is going to happen next.

Graham Swift

Graham Swift

Daniel Lea

Manchester University Press
2005
nidottu
This book offers an accessible critical introduction to the work of Graham Swift, one of Britain’s most significant contemporary authors. Through detailed readings of his novels and short stories from 'The Sweet Shop Owner' (1980) to 'The Light of Day' (2003), Daniel Lea lucidly addresses the key themes of history, loss, masculinity and ethical redemption, to present a fresh approach to Swift.This study proposes that one of the side-effects of modernity has been the destruction of traditional pathways of self and collective belief, leading to a loss of understanding between individuals about their duties to each other and to society. Swift's writing returns repeatedly to the question of what we can believe in when all the established markers of identity - family, community, gender, profession, history - have become destabilised. Lea suggests that Swift increasingly moves towards a notion of redemption through a lived ethical practice as the only means of finding solace in a world lacking a central symbolic authority.

Graham Greene is among the major creative talents of our time. This study concentrates on his achievements as a novelist whose work spanned more than sixty years, and was translated into forty languages. As skilful in writing with humour as with seriousness, he combined the gifts of a superb story-teller with the power to analyse the political ills and human dilemmas of an age of anxiety. As a writer who ‘happened to be a Catholic’, he also reflected the problem of faith and belief in a time of persistent violence. This study describes his vision of the twentieth century, and his evolving dedication to his craft as a writer of fiction.

Graham Swift

Graham Swift

Peter Widdowson

Northcote House Publishers Ltd
2005
nidottu
Graham Swift is among the foremost contemporary British writers, having published seven highly acclaimed novels which are widely read by students and general public alike. Waterland has become a modern classic, and Last Orders won the Booker prize for fiction in 2006. This study covers all Swift’s novels to The Light of Day: it offers a close reading of each of the novels, exploring the innovative formal strategies and identifying such recurrent themes as the presence of the past in the present, the blurring of distinctions between ‘history’ and ‘story’, fact and fiction, and the possibilities of redemption in a contemporary social and emotional wasteland. For the most part set in an urban, middle-class, claustrophobic and loveless present, and focused on usually fraught relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, these recognisably postmodern novels are seen here as symptomatic of contemporary Britain: a world where, in the shadow of the nuclear holocaust, we approach ‘the End of History, and only ‘telling stories’ seems to offer solace.

The Graham Kerr Cookbook

The Graham Kerr Cookbook

RIZZOLI INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS

Before Emeril Lagasse s signature Bam! or Anthony Bourdain s hedonistic charm, there was Graham Kerr: a pioneering TV chef who, following in the footsteps of Julia Child, showed millions of viewers in the 60s and 70s that home cooking could be easy and fun. Kerr s approach to home cooking and to issues of authenticity and cultural borrowing have much more in common with Mario Batali and Jamie Oliver s outlook than with Kerr s 1960s contemporaries. This reissue, updated with an introduction by the Lee Brothers and commentary from Kerr himself will appeal to generations any home cook.

Graham Salisbury

Graham Salisbury

David Macinnis Gill

Scarecrow Press
2005
sidottu
Graham Salisbury, winner of the Scott O'Dell and Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards, grew up in Hawaii during the 1950's, and the lion's share of his fiction is set there. He writes about boys of all races trying to carve an identity for themselves and struggling to make moral decisions as they grow into manhood. The first section of this book chronicles the labyrinthine path of Salisbury's life and career: from barefoot island boy to college dropout, from bubblegum pop musician to schoolteacher, and from real estate manager to young adult author. The book then offers a critical context for Salisbury's work, discussing his novels in terms of plot and style: analyzing literary themes and examining critical responses to his work. Salisbury's use of archetypes and the coming of age stories that dominate his work are explored in depth. Fans are also treated to a peek at some of Salisbury's future projects. Librarians, teachers, and teen readers will find this critical biography to be a useful resource for the library, classroom, and reference bookshelf.
