'Membering Austin Clarke

'Membering Austin Clarke

Wilfrid Laurier University Press
2020
nidottu
'Membering Austin Clarke reflects on the life and writing of Austin Clarke, whose depictions of Black life in Canada enlarged our understanding of what Canadian literature looks like.Despite being one of Canada's most widely published, and most richly awarded writers, Austin Clarke (1934-2016) is not a household name. This collection addresses Clarke's marginalization in Canadian literature by demonstrating that his writing on Black diasporic life and the immigrant experience is a foundational, if untold, part of the story of CanLit. Novelist, short-story writer, poet, and essayist, Clarke was born in Barbados, moved to Canada in 1995 and went on to establish Black Studies programs at a number of universities in America. He returned to Canada and became one of Canadian literature's most prolific authors and a public voice for Black people in Canada. Among his best-known works are the Giller Award-winning The Polished Hoe (2002) and his memoir 'Membering (2015).This collection of essays from colleagues, scholars, friends, and fellow writers addresses Clarke's work in all its richness and complexity in order to understand how Clarke's legacy continues to transform Canadian writing. It includes previously unpublished poems and short stories from Clarke's archives as well as personal reflections from friends, histories of the publication of his works, essays, interviews, and short stories and poems inspired by Clarke.

An Austin Anthology

An Austin Anthology

James Stringer

Veloce Publishing Ltd
2018
sidottu
An entertaining collection of true stories that feature just a few of the products manufactured by the Austin Motor Company from 1906 until the outbreak of the Second World War, including the people who helped to make them, those who drove them, and even those who flew them. Although the history of the Austin Seven and Taxicabs have been covered before in much greater detail elsewhere, you will find within these pages the stories of many other Austin creations: the Austin 12/6 which could be won by smoking Kensitas cigarettes; the Austin 20 which competed in the 1914 Austrian Alpine Trial; the remarkable racing car named ‘Pobble’ which went on to serve as an ambulance during the First World War, and the Australian couple who, in 1926, decided to drive their Austin Twelve right around Australia. The Music Hall artist, George Clarke, who performed on stage with his Austin Seven, and the ‘Austin Unity Song,’ a recording of which was presented to guests at the Company’s Annual dinner, are just two more fascinating stories which go to make up this Austin Anthology.

An Austin Anthology II

James Stringer

Veloce Publishing Ltd
2019
sidottu
Following on from Jim Stringer’s first book ‘An Austin Anthology,’ this second volume features 22 more stories relating to the Austin Motor Company, its products and the people who purchased them. The author takes a look at the very first Austin to be built, and discovers why it was able to be offered to the public so quickly after the Company’s formation only a few month’s earlier. He also uncovers how the single-cylinder Austin Seven, whilst designed at Longbridge, was actually built at the Swift Motor Car factory in Coventry, and offered as a Swift or an Austin. In 1908 Herbert Austin produced four 100hp racing cars to compete at the French Grand Prix in Dieppe. But what happened to them afterwards? And is the only survivor, now on display at the British Heritage Museum, Gaydon as genuine as it would appear? And then there is the story of Daisy Fearon, whose only means of transport was a 1928 Austin which she’d owned since 1931. As Daisy aged, her driving became less and less predictable, causing those who knew her to run for cover when she was seen at the wheel. An amusing and nostalgic collection of stories, illustrated with original period photographs, An Austin Anthology II is bound to entertain and delight all Austin enthusiasts.

Herbert Austin’s Heavy Twelve-Four

Herbert Austin’s Heavy Twelve-Four

James Stringer

HERRIDGE SONS LTD
2021
sidottu
Until now there has been no in-depth book about the Austin 12/4. This most worthy of cars epitomised Herbert Austin’s philosophy that his cars must demonstrate longevity, robust construction, sound engineering and represent good value for money. Here we have the story behind the model’s introduction, contemporary press reports, early advertisements, from the first brochures issued up to 1934-35, the various body styles available. Those which were exported as chassis to New Zealand and Australia and then bodied locally are also included. The taxicabs have a section to themselves, as does the different coachwork available from various coachbuilders – including the work they undertook during the war. When many cabs dating from the thirties were pensioned off in the early fifties, they took on many other roles, and Jim details some of them. Separate chapters are reserved for 12/4s which have earned their own special place in the Austin Twelve’s history; these include “Peggy”, the cab featured in the film Carry on Cabby, and “Gumdrop”, the tourer immortalised by the late Val Biro. The Austin 12/4 has survived in respectable numbers, and if you are wondering why, Jim’s book will leave you in no doubt. Everything you need to know about the Heavy 12/4 Austin, including stories of restorations, is in this book. In 2022 we celebrate the centenary of the addition of this model to the Austin range

The Austin Job

David Mark Brown

Fiction Vortex, Inc.
2020
pokkari
With the world embroiled in the Great War, power-hungry forces threaten to tear apart the state of Texas in a secret plot to rule the resource that will fuel the future. In The Austin Job, James Starr, a bronc rider turned politician, stumbles into a high stakes game of power and lies that he must master before it masters him. Exploding with double-fisted, cheek-puckering action, including the world's first parkour stunt horse, The Austin Job dares you to cinch your saddle to a bolt of Lone Star lightning and hold on for dear life. In this second season of his Lost DMB Files serial, Author David Mark Brown invites the reader into a world illuminated by human torches and moonlight towers, an underground Austin inhabited by machine and monster alike, where what you don't know can get you killed--or just really, really messed up. The Austin Job happens simultaneously with Fistful of Reefer (Season Two of the Lost DMB Files) and thus can be read first or second in the series.

Contrasts: The Art of Chris Austin

Contrasts: The Art of Chris Austin

Chris Austin

PARAGON BOOKS
2025
sidottu
In Contrasts, artist Chris Austin takes readers on a deeply personal and imaginative journey through his surreal, wildlife-inspired art. Known for placing animals from different ecosystems--like sharks floating over mossy forest floors--Austin challenges the boundaries of nature, creating absurd yet thought-provoking scenes that explore themes of adaptability, interconnectedness, and survival. These juxtapositions not only surprise but spark deeper conversations about harmony and tension within unlikely environments. Austin's artwork is more than just visual spectacle; it's a reflection of his personal evolution, shaped by the conflicting influences of his youth. His use of contrasting wildlife serves as a metaphor for the dualities he experienced growing up, from moments of chaos to finding clarity and peace. Central to his work is marine life, a recurring symbol of higher consciousness and inner calm, representing the moments of serenity that helped him navigate life's challenges. Self-taught and driven by a love for pop culture, skateboarding, and nature, Austin blends vibrant energy with introspection, using his art to reconcile the turbulent path of his upbringing. Through Contrasts, he invites readers to reflect on their own journeys--embracing the contradictions, confronting fears, and finding unexpected connections in a world where nature grapples with the unnatural. Dedicated to those who guided him, particularly his dear friend and mentor Samara Lovell, this book is both an artistic exploration and a tribute to the power of friendship, resilience, and self-discovery.
