Mickalene, Thomas

Mickalene Thomas / [Roxane Gay; Kellie Jones; Mickalene Thomas]

London ; New York : Phaidon, 2022

Abstract: Negli ultimi venti anni, il corpus delle opere di Mickalene Thomas si è ampliato fino a includere pittura, collage, fotografia, video e installazioni immersive, diventate ormai suo segno distintivo. Attingendo a molteplici fonti d'ispirazione, che spaziano dalla pittura del XIX secolo alla cultura pop, Thomas dà vita a un potente linguaggio artistico apprezzato dalla critica per la capacità di esprimere un'idea complessa di aspirazioni e visione di sé attraverso genere e razza, ampliando e sovvertendo i canoni di bellezza, sessualità e fama. Realizzato in stretta collaborazione con l'artista, il volume investiga per la prima volta la vastità della sua straordinaria carriera.

Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew.

The Spanish love deception / Elena Armas

London [etc.] : Simon & Schuster, 2021

Abstract: Catalina Martin desperately needs a date to her sister's wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows--including her ex and his fiancée--will be there and eager to meet him. She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won't be easy to fool. Enter Aaron Blackford--her tall, handsome, condescending colleague--who surprisingly offers to step in. She'd rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man. But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best opion. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office

Cain's Jawbone A Novel Problem / Ernest Powys Mathers

London : Unbond, 2021

Abstract: 'If James Joyce and Agatha Christie had a literary love child, this would be it' Daily Telegraph 'A unique hybrid of word puzzle and whodunnit' Literary Review Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations... but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada's murder mystery? In 1934, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible - through logic and intelligent reading - to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain's Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks? Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.

Abstract: Whether we?re big or small, it can be hard to get away from our screens. Most children spend between five and seven hours a day looking at some form of screen ? and most grown-ups spend twice as much time. Screens promise endless entertainment, but the more time we spend with them, the more we lose sight of all that is strange, fascinating, and delightful in the world around us. Even when we?re stuck indoors, there are infinite possibilities for banishing boredom and having fun so long as we use our imagination. All we need are a few helpful suggestions.... Screen-Free Fun contains 80 of the weirdest and most wonderful activities children can do at home, all without using a screen. Rather than scrolling or tapping, you?ll be invited to draw, make, write, invent, dress up, hide, seek, and discover. You can paint like Picasso or meditate like Buddha; become an indoor entomologist or a home Olympian; make up a new language or a mythical creature; and even find the fun in some household chores. Inventive and irreverent, this book is the perfect companion for humdrum days and wet weekends. It is a compendium of the world?s strangest, silliest and most stimulating activities.

Dutch and Flemish Literature as World Literature / edited by Theo D'haen

[S.l.] : Bloomsbury, 2021

Abstract: The recent return of 'world literature' to the centre of literary studies has entailed an increased attention to non-European literatures, but in turn has also further marginalized Europe's smaller literatures. Dutch and Flemish Literature as World Literature shows how Dutch-language literature, from its very beginnings in the Middle Ages to the present, has not only always taken its cue from the 'major' literary traditions of Europe and beyond, but has also actively contributed to and influenced these traditions. The contributors to this book focus on key works and authors, providing a concise, yet highly readable, history of Dutch-language literature and demonstrating how this literature is anchored in world literature.
