What's Good

What's Good

City Lights Books

pokkari
A NEW YORKER & GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEARA love letter to the verbal artistry of hip-hop, What's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis"What's Good is, among a great many other things, a byproduct of joyful obsession and immersion into both language and sound, an intersection that offers a rich and expansive land upon which to play." —Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance " . . . an often hilarious, surprisingly moving and always joyful paean to rap’s relationship to words."—Jayson Greene, The New York Times"Rap, he is not afraid to say, is as close to a universal tongue as we have."—Adam Gopnik, The New YorkerWhat's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis, a set of freewheeling liner notes, and a love letter to the most vital American art form of the last half century. Over a series of short chapters, each centered on a different lyric, Daniel Levin Becker considers how rap's use of language operates and evolves at levels ranging from the local (slang, rhyme) to the analytical (quotation, transcription) to the philosophical (morality, criticism, irony), celebrating the pleasures and perils of any attempt to decipher its meaning-making technologies.Ranging from Sugarhill Gang to UGK to Young M.A, Rakim to Rick Ross to Rae Sremmurd, Jay-Z to Drake to Snoop Dogg, What's Good reads with the momentum of a deftly curated mixtape, drawing you into the conversation and teaching you to read it as it goes. A book for committed hip-hop heads, curious neophytes, armchair linguists, and everyone in between."For those of us who love rap, What's Good is a gift. The book offers a new set of eyes and ears through which to see and to hear the language of rap. Its brief and brilliant chapters are like the best kinds of freestyles: spontaneous and structured, startling and profound. A remarkable achievement." —Adam Bradley, author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop"Could this be the rap equivalent of Lewis Hyde's The Gift or Marina Warner's Once Upon A Time? Anyhow, it's an electrifying book, full of wild epiphanies and provocations, an exhibition of a critical mind in full and open contact with their subject at the highest level, with a winning streak of confessional intimacy as well." —Jonathan Lethem, author of The Arrest: A Novel "What's Good is a feat of critical precision and personal obsession: Daniel Levin Becker's deep appreciation for rap is rangy and illuminating, and his delight in language is infectious. What a thrill to swing so gracefully from Lil Wayne to Mary Ruefle to the lyrical evolution of 'tilapia'; pure pleasure. A generous, joyful exegesis."—Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny Valley: A Memoir

Feminism and Freedom

Feminism and Freedom

Michael Levin

Transaction Publishers
1987
nidottu
Combining philosophical rigor with detailed knowledge of a wide range of subjects, Michael Levin presents a thorough examination of feminism as both a theory and as a generator of social policy. His book provides a much-needed counterweight to uncritical feminist scholarship prevalent in so much social science writing. Levin argues that feminists deny that innate sex differences have anything to do with the basic structure of society. He shows how this denial leads feminists to interpret observable differences between male and female roles as the result of discrimination and restricting social conditioning rather than as the free expression of basic preferences. Levin concludes that feminist proposals for remedying this imaginary oppression systematically thwart individual liberty. The first chapters of Feminism and Freedom show the conflict between feminist ideology and recent developments in anthropology, neurology, child psychology, and behavioral genetics, as basic principles of scientific method. The author then moves to a wide-ranging discussion of affirmative action, comparable worth, and the impact of feminism on education, military manpower policy, language, family life and sports—showing in each case how feminist policies run counter to classical liberalism. Written in a lively, challenging, and accessible style, as controversial as it is timely, Feminism and Freedom is must reading for anyone interested in understanding society and preserving liberty. Michael Levin is a professor of philosophy at the City College of New York and the Graduate Center of City University of New York. He is the author of Metaphysics and the Mind-Body Problem, and has written extensively on ethics, epistemology, and the foundations of science and mathematics.

This book represents a variety of views about an enduring question that is central to the concerns of developmental psychologists--are there broad, developmental, cross-do-main mental representations and processes, or are they domain-specific? This book gives a state-of-the-art reading from researchers who are sympathic to the constructs of stage and structure, but who suggest alternatives to the Piagetian orthodoxy.

Working on the Play and the Role

Working on the Play and the Role

Irina Levin; Igor Levin

Ivan R Dee, Inc
1992
pokkari
In order to create a living character on the stage, the actor needs more than masterful technique. He must work on the play in a way that will enable him to understand the meaning of each of the roles in it, and the nature of the relations between these roles. Stanislavsky developed his method of working on the play and the role over many years, but because it was constantly being modified and improved, only fragments of the method were ever recorded. Now Irina and Igor Levin have systematized the method, clearly setting forth its principles and demonstrating precisely how they are put to use. Using the complete text of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and breaking it into individual "events;" they take the reader through each situation in the play, exploring the motivations and feelings of the characters. The reader emerges with a fine understanding of the play and its roles, and with a method that can be used successfully to analyze any drama. "An excellent book, highly useful for actors and directors both in its principles and in its detailed analyses of text and subtext."—Nicholas Rudall, Court Theatre.

Mark is a novel loosely based on the life of the painter Mark Gertler, interwoven with the story of an Israeli writer living in London, haunted by his experience of a brutal war in Lebanon and the death he witnessed there. The story is told during the last months of Mark Gertler's life as he recalls his relationship with the painter Dora Carrington, and his friendships with Ottoline Morrell, members of the Bloomsbury Group, and with Eddie Marsh, Winston Churchill's private secretary. The narrator, in his fascination with the deceased artist, travels to Sitges, Paris, Brighton, and to the sanatoria where Gertler spent many months as his body succumbed to the ravages of tuberculosis. Aided in his research by his lover, Gabriel, the narrator discovers the whereabouts of Gertler's son in West London. As the story moves towards the devastating end of the artist's life, the writer will eventually reveal what he witnessed during the war in Lebanon. Mark is told through a series of sketches from an ex-soldier's life and the life of one of the great British painters of the 20th Century. It is a story of the artist's battle for recognition and financial independence and how those struggles impact the artist and the people around them.

A doctor contemplates Lenin's embalmed body; two angels flank an open chest during a heart transplant; a father's anger turns into a summer thunderstorm... Each of Levin's poems is an astonishing investigation of human darkness, propelled by a sensuous syntax and a desire for healing."This is the language of a prophet: Levin's art, in this book certainly, takes place in a kind of mutating day of judgment: it means to wipe a film from our eyes. It is a dare, a challenge, and, for all its considerable beauty, the opposite of the seductive...Sensuous, compassionate, violent, extravagant: what an amazing debut this is, a book of terrors and marvels."-Louise Gluck, from the IntroductionDana Levin was raised in Lancaster, California, in the Mojave Desert. She has received fellowships, grants, and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Academy of American Poets, the Vermont Arts Council, and New York University, where she received her M.F.A. She lives in New Mexico and teaches Creative Writing at the College of Santa Fe.

The Exodus Diary

The Exodus Diary

Lee Levin

Archaeologists have been shoveling and spading Egypt's earth for centuries. One would think nothing of major significance could possibly remain unearthed. Not so. A second-rate Egyptologist, from a third-rate university, on his last dig, unearths a miracle--the diary of the Pharaoh Ay, successor to Tutankhamen, written in his own hand. And what a tale he relates He is the pharaoh of the Exodus, the man who confronted Moses. What he relates is the story of the Exodus itself as seen through the eyes of pharaoh himself.On the one hand, it confirms the historical accuracy of the Biblical account as presented in the Old Testament. But there is another side to the story. The story of pharaoh's dilemma. According to pharaoh's own testimony, Egypt faced a crisis. The population had grown, both of Egyptians and Hebrews. He was unable to feed the Egyptians, let alone Hebrew slaves. But the slaves were numerous, and if he could not feed them, they would certainly revolt. He wanted them gone. But much of Egypt's wealth was tied up in slaves. If he simply expelled them, the slaveowners would rebel.And then came Moses, with his demands. There was truth in the story of the Exodus as contained in the Bible. But pharaoh had his own truths too, and after 3,500 years, they are now revealed to the world.

The Outward Edge of Joy

Lillian Levin Kahn

Garnet Star Publishing

Lillian Levin Kahn was born in 1917 in Chicago and received her bachelors from the College of Jewish Studies. She began writing poems in her early 20s and continued to do so throughout her life. In 1943, she met and married a newly ordained Rabbi (Eli J. Kahn) and immediately moved from her native Chicago to his first job as an army chaplain in Columbus, Georgia. As Rabbi's wife, or Rebbitzin, she usually went by the Hebrew name she chose as her own, Chavatzelet, after the Song of Song's Lily of the valley. She followed her husband's 12 moves to new congregations during the next 59 years until his final retirement, packing up everything and recreating a home in each new city for her husband and four children. As Rebbitzen, she often played the role of Educational Director, Teacher and Program Manager, writing poems and plays for both children and adults to present at holiday celebrations. She led a public life, always representing her husband, the congregation, and the entire religion. But privately, for herself, she wrote poems. Only in her poetry could she express her deepest feelings. When, at age 96, she moved to assisted living, she asked her family to save only one thing from her home, her most treasured possession -- a small suitcase filled with poems she had written throughout the years, many of which tell the story of her inner life.

Ferndale Police detective Martin Preuss is spending a quiet evening with his son Toby when he's called out to investigate a savage after-hours shooting at a bakery in his suburban Detroit community.

Most frightening of all, is there a terrorist connection with the Iraqi War vets who work at the store?Struggling with these questions, frustrated by the dizzying uncertainties of the case, and hindered by the treachery of his own colleagues who scheme against him, Preuss is drawn into a whirlwind of greed, violence, and revenge that spans generations across metropolitan Detroit.
