Escape from Penury to Independence
The story has two loosely connected narratives; the first is a semi autobiographical yarn about a country boy fresh out of catering college who vamooses off to London to find a future. When the country spirals into recession, he weighs anchor and joins the yachting fraternity in Monaco, cooking for the rich and famous. It doesn't end there! The second narrative follows a surreal fictional journey of two misfit anthropomorphic characters, who are trying to fathom out where they might find their place in the big wide world, of an unruly, untamed counter culture that thrives within Exmoor's indigenous wildlife. Both parties are buffeted by events that are way out of their control, as they travail along their respective rocky roads.

Tim's father, Big Jack, has lived his whole life wandering the world, listening to the voice of the wild, following the whim of the wind.

For the first time, however, Big Jack has wandered into the borderlands, believing good fortune awaits them on the other side. Yet when Tim starts to see shadows dancing in the sky, he begins to wonder whether his father has unknowingly led them into the maw of an untamed beast. "You're going to sleep in the dirt for a thousand years. By the time someone finds your dusty bones, no one will even remember your name." Beautiful and bone-chilling, The Voice of the Wild is a tale of tragedy that asks a powerful question: Is faith more important than death?

Sufficiency of the Actual

Sufficiency of the Actual

Kevin Stein

University of Illinois Press
2008
sidottu
In this ambitious collection, Kevin Stein enters the volatile intersection of private lives and larger public history. In poems variously formal and experimental, improvisational and narrative, wisely silly and playfully forlorn, Stein renders the human carnival flexed across the tattooed bulk of “history’s bicep.” Musical and refreshingly unaffected, Stein’s poems yoke the domains of high and low art. His poems address subjects by turns surprising, edgy, and humorous. They offer musings on the Slinky and the atomic bomb, elegies for a miscarried pregnancy and the late physicist Edward Teller, reflections on night-shift factory work and President Eisenhower’s golf caddy, and meditations on the politics of post-colonialism and a youthful antiwar streaking incident. Against this vivid backdrop parades a motley cast of American characters seeking wiry balance in a fragile world.
Mister Pulitzer and the Spider

Mister Pulitzer and the Spider

Kevin G Barnhurst

University of Illinois Press
2016
sidottu
A spidery network of mobile online media has supposedly changed people, places, time, and their meanings. A prime case is the news. Digital webs seem to have trapped "legacy media," killing off newspapers and journalists' jobs. Did news businesses and careers fall prey to the digital "Spider"? To solve the mystery, Kevin Barnhurst spent thirty years studying news going back to the realism of the 1800s. The usual suspects--technology, business competition, and the pursuit of scoops--are only partly to blame for the fate of news. The main culprit is modernism from the "Mister Pulitzer" era, which transformed news into an ideology called "journalism." News is no longer what audiences or experts imagine. Stories have grown much longer over the past century and now include fewer events, locations, and human beings. Background and context rule instead. News producers adopted modernism to explain the world without recognizing how modernist ideas influence the knowledge they produce. When webs of networked connectivity sparked a resurgence in realist stories, legacy news stuck to big-picture analysis that can alienate audience members accustomed to digital briefs.
Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry

Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry

Kevin Mungons; Douglas Yeo

University of Illinois Press
2021
sidottu
From tent revivals to radio and records with a gospel music innovator Homer Rodeheaver merged evangelical hymns and African American spirituals with popular music to create a potent gospel style. Kevin Mungons and Douglas Yeo examine his enormous influence on gospel music against the backdrop of Christian music history and Rodeheaver's impact as a cultural and business figure. Rodeheaver rose to fame as the trombone-playing song leader for evangelist Billy Sunday. As revivalism declined after World War I, Rodeheaver leveraged his place in America's newborn celebrity culture to start the first gospel record label and launch a nationwide radio program. His groundbreaking combination of hymnal publishing and recording technology helped define the early Christian music industry. In his later years, he influenced figures like Billy Graham and witnessed the music's split into southern gospel and black gospel. Clear-eyed and revealing, Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry is an overdue consideration of a pioneering figure in American music.
LENIN HEGEL & WESTERN MARXISM

LENIN HEGEL & WESTERN MARXISM

Kevin Anderson

University of Illinois Press
1995
nidottu
This first full-length treatment of Lenin's studies of Hegel presents Lenin as a major figure in Hegelian Marxism, providing a more nuanced portrait of his work than that of either official Marxist-Leninism or most Western accounts. "With impressive argumentation and wide-ranging scholarship, Anderson presents us with a Lenin that no one seriously interested in current debates over the relevance of Marxist theory to socialist practice can afford to miss." -- Bertell Ollman, author of Dialectical Investigations "An important contribution to grasping the conceptual roots of Marxist theory and practice." -- Tom Rockmore, author of Hegel's Circular Epistomology "Today Lenin looks like he did little more than prepare the way for Stalin. You will find the opposite view in this novel study. . . . I recommend the book to anyone seriously interested in Russia and revolution." -- George Uri Fischer, author of The Soviet System and Modern Society

Chance Ransom

Chance Ransom

Kevin Stein

University of Illinois Press
2000
nidottu
Winner of Poetry's Frederick Bock Prize and the Indiana Review Poetry Prize, Kevin Stein casts a wide net over the "ineffable befuddlement" of everyday life. His poems render history's chance larder of the consecrated and profane from which we ransom our fate. Often improvisational and always lyrical, Stein's poems move effortlessly through the art of Beckmann and Degas, the music of Bob Marley and garage bands, and the pathos of cancer patients, factory workers, and victims of bigotry. Insightful and refreshingly unaffected, Chance Ransom explores the shifting shore between self and other with clarity and compassion.
