A collection of related short stories by British author G. K. Chesterton. Each story is centered on a person who is making his living by some novel and extraordinary means (a "queer trade"). To gain admittance to the Club, one must have a unique queer trade as principal source of income. "Cherub" Swinburne describes his quest for The Club of Queer Trades with his friend Basil Grant, a retired judge, and Rupert Grant, a private detective who is Basil's younger brother. Each of the stories describes their encounter with one of the trades. In the final story, Rupert Grant rescues a lady from her kidnappers but cannot understand why she refuses to be rescued. The answer leads to the unveiling of the mystery of The Club of Queer Trades. First published by Harper & Brothers, London, 1905.

The Flying Inn is the final novel by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1914. It is set in a future England where the Temperance movement has allowed a bizarre form of "Progressive" Islam to dominate the political and social life of the country. Because of this, alcohol sales to the poor are effectively prohibited, while the rich can get alcoholic drinks "under a medical certificate". The plot centres on the adventures of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade Prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily prevent the police taking action against them. Eventually the heroes and their followers foil an attempted coup by an Islamic military force.

Who Are You - The Life & Death of Keith Moon

Who Are You - The Life & Death of Keith Moon

Jim & Olivent Mccarthy

Omnibus Press
2016
nidottu
The Who drummer Keith Moon was a totally incorrigible yet uniquely generous boy who never grew up and who changed the lives of all who knew him, a phenomenal character and an extravagant hell-raiser who - in a final, uncharacteristic act of grace - actually did die before he got old. Rock's greatest drummer was also its greatest character and wildest party animal. Fuelled by vast quantities of drink, drugs, insecurities and confusion, Moon destroyed everything with gleeful abandon: drum kits, houses, cars, hotels, relationships and finally, himself.Based on the best-selling biography Dear Boy by Tony Fletcher, Who Are You brings to the page Keith Moon's incredible life and premature death in a dramatic graphic reconstruction by genre masters Jim McCarthy and Marc Olivent.

Die Eigennamen in Den Detektivgeschichten Gilbert Keith Chestertons

Die Eigennamen in Den Detektivgeschichten Gilbert Keith Chestertons

Literarische Eigennamen sind kunstlerische Gestaltungselemente besonderer Art. Haufig erbringen sie Leistungen, die uber die blosse Benennung von Figuren und Schauplatzen hinausgehen. Der funktionalen und formalen Vielfalt literarischer Eigennamen widmet sich der erste, theoretische Teil dieser Arbeit. Grundlage der folgenden praktischen Analyse sind 100 Detektivgeschichten des englischen Schriftstellers Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Dabei werden nicht nur Figuren- und Ortsnamen, sondern alle auftretenden Namenklassen berucksichtigt. Wie die Studie verdeutlicht, ist Chestertons Namenlandschaft bunt und vielfach aussagekraftiger, als es auf den ersten Blick scheinen mag. Neben autorentypischen Besonderheiten der Namenverwendung werden genrespezifische Aspekte untersucht, wobei personliche Aussagen mehrerer lebender Kriminalschriftsteller weiteren Aufschluss geben."

Taking the sequence of 88 piano keys as a reference, from the bass to treble, J. Rosa G. pays tribute to Keith Jarrett's music in the same number of images, meant to evoke the musical universe of the pianist.For the author Keith Jarrett replaces a missing link of primeval pantheism through an harmonious inner rhythm, not convertible to musical notation: spiritual union of Man with the enchantment of each moment in Life and with Nature, sublime and sacred place of the act of living.

Queer Latino Testimonio, Keith Haring, and Juanito Xtravaganza

Queer Latino Testimonio, Keith Haring, and Juanito Xtravaganza

A. Cruz-Malavé

Palgrave Macmillan
2007
sidottu
In the tradition of the Latin American testimonio, this is the story of Juan Rivera, a.k.a. Juanito Xtravaganza, a Latino runaway youth who ends up homeless in the streets of New York in the late 70s and becomes partner of the internationally famous 1980s Pop artist Keith Haring during some of the most frenetically productive years of his brief life, as told to the author and retold by him. A hybrid text - part testimonio, part linguistic and cultural analysis, and part art criticism - this is also a history of New York Latino neighborhoods during this period of devastating disinvestment and gentrification, as well as a personal, heart-felt meditation on the art of listening and the ethical limits of representing queer Latino lives.
