{"title":"Dead Authors","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoland Barthes (1915-1980) announced the \"death of the author\" in his 1967 essay, which inaugurated a postmodern approach to interpretation that demoted intention and biography in favour of social context and intertextuality.

A white, male one, mostly—representative of the formerly unassailable authority of colonial patriarchy. Hence the dusty, bookish, old-world melancholy that adheres to many of the dead white men in this collection (especially Borges—that spectre haunting the library). The postmodern break opened up the canon for a wider diversity of voices and perspectives. The writers in this collection, however, were never part of the literary mainstream—rather, they were members of that marginal counter-tradition (or its descendants) who either critiqued modernity from within or pushed outward from its fissures.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"benjamin-tee","title":"Benjamin tee","description":"\u003cp\u003eWalter Benjamin (1892 – 1940) was a German Jewish philosopher, cultural critic and essayist. An eclectic thinker, combining elements of German idealism, Romanticism, Western Marxism, and Jewish mysticism, Benjamin made enduring and influential contributions to aesthetic theory, literary criticism, and historical materialism. He was associated with the Frankfurt School, and also maintained formative friendships with thinkers such as playwright Bertolt Brecht and Kabbalah scholar Gershom Scholem. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Among Benjamin's best known works are the essays \"The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction\" (1935), and \"Theses on the Philosophy of History\" (1940). His major work as a literary critic included essays on Baudelaire, Goethe, Kafka, Kraus, Leskov, Proust, Walser, and translation theory. He also made major translations into German of the \"Tableaux Parisiens\" section of Baudelaire's \u003cem\u003eLes Fleurs du mal\u003c\/em\u003e and parts of Proust's \u003cem\u003eÀ la recherche du temps perdu\u003c\/em\u003e.

Stefan Zweig, and Walter Benjamin, and was in fact better known during his lifetime than Kafka or Benjamin were known in theirs. Nevertheless, Walser was never able to support himself based on the meager income he made from his writings, and he worked as a copyist, an inventor's assistant, a butler, and in various other low-paying trades. Despite marginal early success in his literary career, the popularity of his work gradually diminished over the second and third decades of the 20th century, making it increasingly difficult for him to support himself through writing. He eventually suffered a nervous breakdown and spent the remainder of his life in sanatoriums, taking frequent long walks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Today, Walser's texts are regarded as among the most important writings of literary modernism. In his writing, he made use of elements of Swiss German in a charming and original manner, while very personal observations are interwoven with texts about texts; that is, with contemplations and variations of other literary works, in which Walser often mixes pulp fiction with high literature. His voice is notable for its almost preternatural innocence and otherworldliness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A revival of interest in his work arose when, in the late 20th century and early 2000s, his writings from the Pencil Zone, also known as Bleistiftgebiet or \"the Microscripts,\" which had been written in a coded, microscopically tiny hand on scraps of paper collected while in a Waldau sanatorium, were finally deciphered, translated, and published.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)\u003cbr\u003e • Fabric weight: 4.2

She was first published in 1959, and her literary career spanned nearly sixty years, producing more than twenty novels and over a hundred short stories, in addition to poetry, literary criticism, translations, and children's books. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Le Guin began writing full-time in the late 1950s and achieved major critical and commercial success with \u003cem\u003eA Wizard of Earthsea\u003c\/em\u003e (1968) and \u003cem\u003eThe Left Hand of Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e (1969), which have been described as her masterpieces. For the latter volume, Le Guin won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel, becoming the first woman to do so. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cultural anthropology, Taoism, feminism, and the writings of Carl Jung all had a strong influence on Le Guin's work. Many of her stories used anthropologists or cultural observers as protagonists, and Taoist ideas about balance and equilibrium have been identified in several writings. Le Guin often subverted typical speculative fiction tropes, such as through her use of dark-skinned protagonists in Earthsea, and also used unusual stylistic or structural devices in books such as the experimental work \u003cem\u003eAlways Coming Home\u003c\/em\u003e (1985). Social and political themes, including race, gender, sexuality, and coming of age were prominent in her writing, and she explored alternative political structures in many stories, such as in the parable \"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas\" (1973) and the anarchist utopian novel \u003cem\u003eThe Dispossessed\u003c\/em\u003e (1974).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Le Guin's writing is enormously influential in the field of speculative fiction, and has been the subject of intense critical attention.

In 1999, Bolaño won the Rómulo Gallegos Prize for his novel \u003cem\u003eLos detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives)\u003c\/em\u003e, and in 2008 he was posthumously awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for his novel \u003cem\u003e2666\u003c\/em\u003e, which was described by board member Marcela Valdes as a \"work so rich and dazzling that it will surely draw readers and scholars for ages.\" The New York Times described him as \"the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bolaño was raised in Chile but moved to Mexico City with his family as a teenager, where he dropped out of school, worked as a journalist, and became active in left-wing political causes. A key episode in Bolaño's life, mentioned in different forms in several of his works, occurred in 1973, when he left Mexico for Chile to \"help build the revolution\" by supporting the democratic socialist government of Salvador Allende. After Augusto Pinochet's right-wing military coup against Allende, Bolaño was arrested on suspicion of being a \"terrorist\" and spent eight days in custody, after which he returned to Mexico before moving to Spain in 1977, where he settled and married. From the 1980s until his death from liver failure, he lived in the small Catalan beach town of Blanes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Although known for his novels and short stories, Bolaño was a prolific poet of free verse and prose poems. As a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e character says in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/em\u003e, \"Poetry is more than enough for me...although sooner or later I'm bound to commit the vulgarity of writing stories.\" In the final decade of his life Bolaño produced a significant body of work, consisting of short stories and novels. In his fiction the characters are often novelists or poets, some of them aspiring and others famous, and writers appear ubiquitous in Bolaño's world, variously cast as heroes, villains, detectives and iconoclasts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bolaño's writings repeatedly manifest a concern with the nature and purpose of literature and its relationship to life and politics. One recent assessment of his works discusses his idea of literary culture as a \"whore\":\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Among the many acid pleasures of the work of Roberto Bolaño, who died at 50 in 2003, is his idea that culture, in particular literary culture, is a whore. In the face of political repression, upheaval and danger, writers continue to swoon over the written word, and this, for Bolaño, is the source both of nobility and of pitch-black humor. In his novel The Savage Detectives, two avid young Latino poets never lose faith in their rarefied art no matter the vicissitudes of life, age and politics. If they are sometimes ridiculous, they are always heroic. But what can it mean, he asks us and himself, in his dark, extraordinary, stinging novella By Night in Chile, that the intellectual elite can write poetry, paint and discuss the finer points of avant-garde theater as the junta tortures people in basements? The word has no national loyalty, no fundamental political bent; it's a genie that can be summoned by any would-be master. Part of Bolaño's genius is to ask, via ironies so sharp you can cut your hands on his pages, if we perhaps find a too-easy comfort in art, if we use it as anesthetic, excuse and hide-out in a world that is very busy doing very real things to very real human beings. Is it courageous to read Plato during a military coup or is it something else?\"\u003cbr\u003e —Stacey D'Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review, 24 February 2008\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)\u003cbr\u003e • Fabric weight: 4.2 oz\/yd² (142 g\/m²)\u003cbr\u003e • Pre-shrunk fabric\u003cbr\u003e • Side-seamed construction\u003cbr\u003e • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping\u003cbr\u003e • Blank product sourced from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"size-guide-title\"\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-responsive dynamic\" data-unit-system=\"imperial\"\u003e\n\u003ctable cellpadding=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLENGTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXS (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 ½\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXL (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2XL (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-responsive dynamic\" data-unit-system=\"metric\"\u003e\n\u003ctable cellpadding=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLENGTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXS (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXL (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2XL (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Minor Canon","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":40786108645429,"sku":"9552728_9526","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":40786108678197,"sku":"9552728_4011","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":40786108710965,"sku":"9552728_4012","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":40786108743733,"sku":"9552728_4013","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":40786108776501,"sku":"9552728_4014","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":40786108809269,"sku":"9552728_4015","price":27.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/2828\/7285\/products\/unisex-staple-t-shirt-white-front-6245d0243c924.jpg?v=1648742442"},{"product_id":"bernhard-tee","title":"Bernhard tee","description":"\u003cp\u003eThomas Bernhard (1931 – 1989) was an Austrian novelist, playwright and poet who explored death, social injustice, and human misery in controversial literature that was deeply pessimistic about modern civilization in general and Austrian culture in particular.

As a writer, he garnered acclaim across various mediums, including essays, novels, plays, and poems. His first novel, \u003cem\u003eGo Tell It On The Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e, was published in 1953. His first essay collection, \u003cem\u003eNotes of a Native Son\u003c\/em\u003e, was published in 1955.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Baldwin's work fictionalizes fundamental personal questions and dilemmas amid complex social and psychological pressures. Themes of masculinity, sexuality, race, and class intertwine to create intricate narratives that run parallel with some of the major political movements toward social change in mid-twentieth century America, such as the civil rights movement and the gay liberation movement. Baldwin's protagonists are often but not exclusively African American, and gay and bisexual men frequently feature prominently in his literature. These characters often face internal and external obstacles in their search for social and self-acceptance. Such dynamics are prominent in Baldwin's second novel, \u003cem\u003eGiovanni's Room\u003c\/em\u003e, which was written in 1956, well before the gay liberation movement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e His reputation has endured since his death and his work has been adapted for the screen to great acclaim. In addition to writing, Baldwin was also a well-known, and controversial, public figure and orator, especially during the civil rights movement in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e •

And yet her work, and her flamboyant punk persona, proved to be disruptive at a time when disruption didn’t signal an anti-truth nihilism but a quest to subvert consciousness and challenge the rigidity of meaning, as she herself once put it. Her use of collage and appropriation raised questions that echo through today’s cultural landscape with striking urgency. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996, she abandoned Western medicine after a traumatic experience of surgery to treat the cancer, which was unsuccessful.

Genet’s mother, who was a young prostitute at the time of his birth, gave him up for adoption to a provincial family. By the age of fifteen, for repeated misdemeanors, Genet was incarcerated for three years, after which he joined the French Foreign Legion. He was dishonorably discharged for “lewd acts”, henceforth spending the next several years traveling around Europe, at times as a prostitute. In 1937 he came to Paris, where again he was arrested and imprisoned for vagabondage. It was in prison, though, that Genet personally funded his first novel Our Lady of the Flowers (1944).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After being released from prison, Genet sought out the avant-garde writer, Jean Cocteau, who was impressed by Genet’s work, and even petitioned the French president, along with Jean-Paul Sartre, to exonerate Genet, after being faced with a life sentence. Genet became associated with the Theatre of Cruelty, which his most famous pieces became associated with, for example, \u003cem\u003eThe Maids\u003c\/em\u003e (1949), \u003cem\u003eDeathwatch\u003c\/em\u003e (1949), \u003cem\u003eThe Balcony\u003c\/em\u003e (1956), and \u003cem\u003eThe Blacks\u003c\/em\u003e (1958). Other celebrated works of Genet include the novel \u003cem\u003eA Thief’s Journal\u003c\/em\u003e (1949), about his experiences in prison, and \u003cem\u003eThe Screens\u003c\/em\u003e (1963), a biting political play about the Algerian War of Independence.

His works have become influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory and Marxism. As well as being an intellectual, Fanon was a political radical, Pan-Africanist, and Marxist humanist concerned with the psychopathology of colonization and the human, social, and cultural consequences of decolonization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the course of his work as a physician and psychiatrist, Fanon supported Algeria's War of independence from France and was a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fanon has been described as \"the most influential anticolonial thinker of his time.\" For more than five decades, the life and works of Fanon have inspired national-liberation movements and other radical political organizations in Palestine, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and the United States. He formulated a model for community psychology, believing that many mental-health patients would do better if they were integrated into their family and community instead of being treated with institutionalized care. He also helped found the field of institutional psychotherapy while working at Saint-Alban under Francois Tosquelles and Jean Oury.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fanon published numerous books, including \u003cem\u003eThe Wretched of the Earth\u003c\/em\u003e (1961).

In 1995, Butler became the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Born in Pasadena, California, Butler was raised by her widowed mother. Extremely shy as a child, Butler found an outlet at the library reading fantasy, and in writing. She began writing science fiction as a teenager and attended community college during the time of the Black Power movement. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e During the Open Door Workshop of the Writers Guild of America West, a program designed to mentor minority writers, her writing impressed one of the teachers, noted science-fiction writer Harlan Ellison. He encouraged her to attend the six-week Clarion Science Fiction Writers Workshop in Clarion, Pennsylvania. There, Butler met the writer Samuel R. Delany, who became a longtime friend.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For the next five years, Butler worked on the series of novels that later became known as the Patternist series. In 1978, she was finally able to stop working at temporary jobs and live on her writing. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Butler's rise to prominence began in 1984 when \"Speech Sounds\" won the Hugo Award for Short Story and, a year later, \u003cem\u003eBloodchild\u003c\/em\u003e won the Hugo Award, the Locus Award, and the Science Fiction Chronicle Reader Award for Best Novelette. In the meantime, Butler traveled to the Amazon rainforest and the Andes to do research for what would become the Xenogenesis trilogy (republished in 2000 as the collection Lilith's Brood). During the 1990s, Butler worked on the novels that solidified her fame as a writer: \u003cem\u003eParable of the Sower\u003c\/em\u003e (1993) and \u003cem\u003eParable of the Talents\u003c\/em\u003e (1998). \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButler \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eclaimed to have three loyal audiences: black readers, science-fiction fans, and feminists.

in 1968, the first Japanese author to receive the award. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1924, Kawabata and other young writers started a new literary journal \u003cem\u003eBungei Jidai\u003c\/em\u003e (The Artistic Age). This journal was a reaction to the entrenched old school of Japanese literature, specifically the Japanese movement descended from Naturalism, while it also stood in opposition to the \"workers'\" or proletarian literature movement of the Socialist\/Communist schools. It was an \"art for art's sake\" movement, influenced by European Cubism, Expressionism, Dada, and other modernist styles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Kawabata made his debut as a writer with the short story, \"Izu dancer,\" published in 1927. After several distinguished works, the novel \u003cem\u003eSnow Country\u003c\/em\u003e in 1937 secured Kawabata’s position as one of the leading authors in Japan. In 1949, the publication of the serials \u003cem\u003eA Thousand Cranes\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Sound of the Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e began. Kawabata considered \u003cem\u003eThe Master of Go\u003c\/em\u003e (1951) to be his finest work. His later novels include \u003cem\u003eThe Lake\u003c\/em\u003e (1955), \u003cem\u003eThe Sleeping Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e (1960) and \u003cem\u003eThe Old Capital\u003c\/em\u003e (1962), among others.

He was one of the founders of the Négritude movement in Francophone literature and coined the word \u003cem\u003enégritude\u003c\/em\u003e in French. He founded the Parti progressiste martiniquais in 1958, and served in the French National Assembly from 1958 to 1993 and as President of the Regional Council of Martinique from 1983 to 1988.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e His works include the book-length poem \u003cem\u003eCahier d'un retour au pays natal\u003c\/em\u003e (1939), \u003cem\u003eUne Tempête\u003c\/em\u003e, a response to Shakespeare's play The Tempest, and \u003cem\u003eDiscours sur le colonialisme (Discourse on Colonialism)\u003c\/em\u003e, an essay describing the strife between colonizers and the colonized. At the Lycée Schoelcher in Fort-de-France, he taught Frantz Fanon, becoming a great influence for Fanon as both a mentor and contemporary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1941, Aimé Césaire and Suzanne Roussi founded the literary review \u003cem\u003eTropiques\u003c\/em\u003e, with the help of other Martinican intellectuals. He also became close to French surrealist poet André Breton, who spent time in Martinique during the war. (The two had met in 1940, and Breton later would champion Cesaire's work.)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1947, his book-length poem \u003cem\u003eCahier d'un retour au pays natal\u003c\/em\u003e was published, mixing poetry and prose to express Césaire's thoughts on the cultural identity of black Africans in a colonial setting. Breton contributed a laudatory introduction to this 1947 edition, saying that the \"poem is nothing less than the greatest lyrical monument of our times.\" When asked about his writing style, Césaire replied by saying that \"Surrealism provided me with what I had been confusedly searching for.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like many left-wing intellectuals in 1930s and 1940s France, Césaire looked toward the Soviet Union as a source of progress, virtue, and human rights. He later grew disillusioned with the Soviet Union after the 1956 suppression of the Hungarian revolution. In 1958 Césaire founded the Parti Progressiste Martiniquais. With the party, he dominated the island’s political scene for the last half of the century. Césaire declined to renew his mandate as deputy in the National Assembly in 1993, after a 47-year continuous term.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Césaire's writings reflect his passion for civic and social engagement. He wrote \u003cem\u003eDiscours sur le colonialisme (Discourse on Colonialism)\u003c\/em\u003e, a denunciation of European colonial racism, decadence, and hypocrisy, in 1955 (English translation 1957).

Perec's parents were Polish-Jewish immigrants to France; his father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was murdered in the Holocaust, and many of Perec's works deal with absence, loss, and identity, often through word play.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Perec started writing reviews and essays for \u003cem\u003eLa Nouvelle Revue française\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLes Lettres nouvelles\u003c\/em\u003e, prominent literary publications, while studying history and sociology at the Sorbonne. In 1961, Perec began working at the Neurophysiological Research Laboratory in the unit's research library as an archivist, a low-paid position which he retained until 1978. A few reviewers have noted that the daily handling of records and varied data may have had an influence on his literary style. Perec's other major influence was the Oulipo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle), which he joined in 1967, meeting Raymond Queneau, among others.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Many of Perec's novels and essays abound with experimental word play, lists and attempts at classification, and they are usually tinged with melancholy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Perec's first novel \u003cem\u003eLes Choses\u003c\/em\u003e (published in English as \u003cem\u003eThings: A Story of the Sixties\u003c\/em\u003e) (1965) was awarded the Prix Renaudot.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Perec's most famous novel \u003cem\u003eLa Vie mode d'emploi (Life A User's Manual)\u003c\/em\u003e was published in 1978. Its title page describes it as \"novels,\" in the plural, the reasons for which become apparent on reading. \u003cem\u003eLa Vie mode d'emploi\u003c\/em\u003e is a tapestry of interwoven stories and ideas as well as literary and historical allusions, based on the lives of the inhabitants of a fictitious Parisian apartment block. It was written according to a complex plan of writing constraints: the 99 chapters of the 600-page novel move like a knight's tour of a chessboard around the room plan of the building, describing the rooms and stairwell and telling the stories of the inhabitants. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Perec is noted for his constrained writing. His 300-page novel \u003cem\u003eLa disparition\u003c\/em\u003e (1969) is a lipogram, written with natural sentence structure and correct grammar, but using only words that do not contain the letter \"e\". It has been translated into English by Gilbert Adair under the title \u003cem\u003eA Void\u003c\/em\u003e (1994). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A heavy smoker, he was diagnosed with lung cancer in

Roberto Bolaño published in 1998; Natasha Wimmer's English translation was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2007. The novel tells the story of the search for a 1920s Mexican poet, Cesárea Tinajero, by two 1970s poets, the Chilean Arturo Belano (alter ego of Bolaño) and the Mexican Ulises Lima.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Belano and Lima consider themselves exponents of the \"Visceral Realist\" poetry movement, and they claim Cesarea Tinajero as their forebear. Her poem, \"Sión\" — which they finally discover after a search that occupies most of the book — is the only example of visceral realist poetry included in the novel. It comprises not words, but three lines drawn onto the page; on top of each line, moreover, appears a small box. This cryptic hieroglyph is the subject of unresolved debate among the protagonists.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The character Amedeo Salvatierra continuously refers to \"Sión\" as a \"poem\" even though he insists, \"it doesn't mean a thing\"; urged on by the question, \"So why did you say it's a poem,\" Salvatierra explains, \"because Cesárea said so .... If that woman had told me that a piece of her shit wrapped in a shopping bag was a poem I would have believed it.\" Belano and Lima, for their part, argue that \"Sión\" has meaning even if it \u003cem\u003eisn't\u003c\/em\u003e a poem.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Another character, Juan Garcia Madero, asserts that \"real poetry\" is something \"you can sense,\" \"you can feel it in the air, the way they say certain highly attuned animals (snakes, worms, rats and some birds) can detect an earthquake.\" And to the extent that an earthquake is felt — not read — what this analogy suggests is that a poem is intuited rather than understood. What is important is less its manifest content or style than its effect on the reader.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This puzzle at the heart of the novel places \u003cem\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/em\u003e in the lineage of the Borgesian meta-literary detective story. In asking us to question what a poem (or a novel) is, or does, and by emphasizing the reader's experience, Bolaño gestures to the deconstructive revolution ushered in by Roland Barthes' notion of the \"death of the author.\" Salvatierra's remark about Cesarea Tinajero also implies a certain allegiance to the Duchampian idea of the readymade so fundamental to conceptual art: the nominalism that assets \"this is art if I, the artist\/author, designate it as such.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Do you have a puzzle of your own to solve?

She was born to British parents in Iran, where she lived until 1925. Her family then moved to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), where she remained until moving in 1949 to London, England. Her novels include \u003cem\u003eThe Grass Is Singing\u003c\/em\u003e (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called \u003cem\u003eChildren of Violence\u003c\/em\u003e (1952–1969), \u003cem\u003eThe Golden Notebook\u003c\/em\u003e (1962), \u003cem\u003eThe Good Terrorist\u003c\/em\u003e (1985), and five novels collectively known as \u003cem\u003eCanopus in Argos: Archives\u003c\/em\u003e (1979–1983).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lessing was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. In awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy described her as \"that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny.\" Lessing was the oldest person ever to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, at age 87.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLessing left school at age 13 and was self-educated from then on. She left home at 15 and worked as a nursemaid. She started reading material that her employer gave her on politics and sociology and began writing around this time. In 1937 Doris moved to Salisbury to work as a telephone operator, and she soon married her first husband, civil servant Frank Wisdom, with whom she had two children. Lessing left the family home in 1943, leaving the two children with their father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the divorce, Doris's interest was drawn to the community around the Left Book Club, an organisation she had joined the year before. It was here that she met her future second husband, Gottfried Lessing. They married shortly after she joined the group, and had a child together, before they divorced in 1949. She did not marry again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLessing moved to London in 1949 with her younger son, Peter, to pursue her writing career and socialist beliefs, but left the two older children with their father. She later said that at the time she saw no choice: \"For a long time I felt I had done a very brave thing. There is nothing more boring for an intelligent woman than to spend endless amounts of time with small children. I felt I wasn't the best person to bring them up. I would have ended up an alcoholic or a frustrated intellectual like my mother.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as campaigning against nuclear arms, she was an active opponent of apartheid, which led her to being banned from South Africa and Rhodesia in 1956 for many years.[In the same year, following the Soviet invasion of Hungary, she left the British Communist Party. In the 1980s, when Lessing was vocal in her opposition to Soviet actions in Afghanistan, she gave her views on feminism, communism and science fiction in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mural.uv.es\/vemivein\/feminismcommunism.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ean interview\u003c\/a\u003e with \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer first novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Grass Is Singing\u003c\/em\u003e, was published in 1950. The work that gained her international attention, \u003cem\u003eThe Golden Notebook\u003c\/em\u003e, was published in 1962. By the time of her death, she had published more than 50 novels, some under a pseudonym.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLessing's fiction is commonly divided into three distinct phases. During her Communist phase (1944–56) she wrote radically about social issues, a theme to which she returned in \u003cem\u003eThe Good Terrorist\u003c\/em\u003e (1985). Doris Lessing's first novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Grass Is Singing\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the short stories later collected in African Stories, are set in Southern Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) where she was then living. This was followed by a psychological phase from 1956 to 1969, including the \u003cem\u003eGolden Notebook\u003c\/em\u003e and the \"Children of Violence\" quintet. Third came the Sufi phase, explored in her 70s work, and in the Canopus in Argos sequence of science fiction (or as she preferred to put it, \"space fiction\") novels and novellas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe died on 17 November 2013, aged 94, at her home in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hat is based on the designs for the Granada editions of Lessing's books, published in the 1960s and 70s.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e • 100% chino cotton twill\u003cbr\u003e • Unstructured, 6-panel, low-profile\u003cbr\u003e • 6 embroidered eyelets\u003cbr\u003e • 3 ⅛” (7.6 cm) crown\u003cbr\u003e • Adjustable strap with antique buckle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minor Canon","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":42730569728053,"sku":"4306000_7854","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":42730569760821,"sku":"4306000_7853","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/2828\/7285\/files\/classic-dad-hat-black-front-655b7baef38b8.jpg?v=1700498264"},{"product_id":"italo-calvino-hat-green","title":"Italo Calvino hat (If on a winter's night a traveler green)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItalo Calvino (1923–1985) was an Italian writer and journalist.

Originally publishing under her first married name, Helen Ferguson, she adopted the name Anna Kavan in 1939, not only as a pen name but as her legal identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna Kavan was born Helen Emily Woods in Cannes, South of France, the only child of a wealthy British family. Her parents travelled frequently and Kavan grew up in Europe and the United States. As an adult she remembered her childhood as lonely and neglected. Her father died by suicide in 1911. After his death, Kavan returned to the UK where she was a boarder at Parsons Mead School in Ashstead and Malvern College in Worcestershire. Disregarding her daughter's desire to go to Oxford, her mother arranged an encounter with Donald Ferguson, her mother's former lover. Helen Emily Woods married him in 1920, a few months before he took a position with the Railway Company in Burma. She moved with her husband, began to write and gave birth to her son Bryan. In 1923, Kavan left Ferguson and returned with her son to the UK. These biographical events match the underlying narrative of her initial Bildungsroman \u003cem\u003eLet Me Alone\u003c\/em\u003e (1930) while \u003cem\u003eWho Are You?\u003c\/em\u003e (1963), written in a Nouveau Roman style, is an experimental variation of her time in Burma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving alone in London during the mid-1920s, she began studying painting at the London Central School of Arts and Crafts, and continued to paint throughout her life. Kavan regularly travelled to the French Riviera where she was introduced to heroin by racing car drivers she took up with. In 1928 she divorced Ferguson and married an artist named Stuart Edmonds whom she had met near Toulon. They travelled together through France, Italy, Spain and the Pyrenees before resettling in England. A year later, she published her first novel, \u003cem\u003eA Charmed Circle\u003c\/em\u003e, under the name Helen Ferguson, followed by five more books over the next eight years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKavan and Edmonds had a daughter, Margaret, who died soon after childbirth and they then adopted a child whom they named Susanna. In 1938, when her second marriage ended, she attempted suicide and was admitted to a clinic in Switzerland. These were the first of what would be multiple hospitalizations and asylum incarcerations throughout Kavan's life for both depression and her lifelong heroin addiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAsylum Piece\u003c\/em\u003e (1940), a collection of short stories which explored the inner mindscape of the psychological explorer, was her first book under the name Anna Kavan, heroine of her previous novels \u003cem\u003eLet Me Alone\u003c\/em\u003e (1930) and \u003cem\u003eA Stranger Still\u003c\/em\u003e (1935). All subsequent works would feature a radically altered writing style. From that moment, the brunette Ferguson disappeared and the crystal-blond Kavan set about a career as an avant-garde writer using her legal name in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn inveterate traveller, Kavan initiated a long journey at the outset of World War II. From September 1939 to February 1943, she spent six months in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in 1940. The stay inspired her novella, \u003cem\u003eMy Soul in China\u003c\/em\u003e, published posthumously in 1975. She also visited the island of Bali, Indonesia, and stayed for twenty-two months in Napier, New Zealand, her final destination. Her travel itinerary was complicated by the war, which severely restricted many ordinary boat routes. As a consequence, her path took her through New York City three times and the Suez Canal twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturning to England early 1943, she worked briefly with soldiers suffering from war neurosis at the Mill Hill Emergency Hospital and studied for a diploma in Psychological Medicine. She also took a secretarial position at \u003cem\u003eHorizon\u003c\/em\u003e, an influential literary magazine edited by Cyril Connolly and founded by Peter Watson, one of her friends. She contributed with stories, articles and reviews from 1944 to 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKavan continued to undergo sporadic inpatient treatments for heroin addiction and in her later years in London lived as a virtual recluse. She enjoyed a late triumph in 1967 with her novel \u003cem\u003eIce\u003c\/em\u003e, inspired by her time in New Zealand and the country's proximity to the inhospitable frozen landscape of Antarctica. The original manuscript was titled \u003cem\u003eThe Cold World\u003c\/em\u003e. When her publisher Peter Owen sent Kavan his initial response, neither rejecting nor accepting her text, he described it as a cross between Kafka and The Avengers. This post-apocalyptic novel brought critical acclaim. It is her best-known novel, still puzzling the reader for its strangeness and nowadays rather introduced as a slipstream novel than a science fiction one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first six of her novels gave little indication of the experimental and disturbing nature of the later work published after her detox treatment. \u003cem\u003eAsylum Piece\u003c\/em\u003e definitely heralded the new style and content of Kavan's writing. Her development of \"nocturnal language\" involved the lexicon of dreams and addiction, mental instability and alienation. She has been compared to Djuna Barnes, Virginia Woolf, and Sylvia Plath. Brian Aldiss described her as Kafka's sister. Anaïs Nin was an admirer and unsuccessfully pursued a correspondence with Kavan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough popularly supposed to have died of heroin overdose, Kavan died of heart failure at her home in Kensington and was found dead on 5 December 1968.

She taught intermittently throughout the 1930s, taking several breaks because of poor health and in order to devote herself to political activism. Such work saw her assisting in the trade union movement, taking the side of the anarchists known as the Durutti Column in the Spanish Civil War, and spending more than a year working as a labourer, mostly in car factories, so that she could better understand the working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeil became increasingly religious and inclined towards mysticism as her life progressed. She wrote throughout her life, although most of her writings did not attract much attention until after her death. In the 1950s and 1960s, her work became famous in continental Europe and throughout the English-speaking world.

It is value-centred and integrated but not systematic.

From the age of 16, she mainly resided in England, where she was sent for her education. She is best known for her novel \u003cem\u003eWide Sargasso Sea\u003c\/em\u003e (1966), written as a prequel to Charlotte Brontë's \u003cem\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1978, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for her writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhys's father, William Rees Williams, was a Welsh medical doctor and her mother, Minna Williams, née Lockhart, a third-generation Dominican Creole of Scots ancestry. (\"Creole\" was broadly used in those times to refer to any person born on the island, whether they were of European or African descent, or both.) Her mother's family had an estate, a former plantation, on the island. Rhys was educated in Dominica until the age of 16, when she was sent to England to live with an aunt, as her relations with her mother were difficult. She attended the Perse School for Girls in Cambridge, where she was mocked as an outsider and for her accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnable to train as an actress and refusing to return to the Caribbean as her parents wished, Williams worked with varied success as a chorus girl, adopting the names Vivienne, Emma, or Ella Gray. She toured Britain's small towns and returned to rooming or boarding houses in rundown neighbourhoods of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter her father died in 1910, Rhys appeared to have experimented with living as a demimondaine. She became the mistress of wealthy stockbroker Lancelot Grey Hugh Smith, whose father Hugh Colin Smith had been Governor of the Bank of England. Though a bachelor, Smith did not offer to marry Rhys, and their affair soon ended. However, he continued to be an occasional source of financial help. Distraught by events, including a near-fatal abortion (not Smith's child), Rhys began writing and produced an early version of her novel \u003cem\u003eVoyage in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1913, she was self-employed for a time in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the First World War, Rhys served as a volunteer worker in a soldiers' canteen. In 1918, she worked in a pension office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1924, Rhys came under the influence of English writer Ford Madox Ford. After meeting Ford in Paris, Rhys wrote short stories under his patronage. Ford recognised that her experience as an exile gave Rhys a unique viewpoint, and praised her \"singular instinct for form\" in his preface to her debut short story collection, \u003cem\u003eThe Left Bank and Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e (1927). It was Ford who suggested she change her name from Ella Williams to Jean Rhys. At the time her husband was in jail for what Rhys described as \"currency irregularities.\" Rhys moved in with Ford and his long-time partner Stella Bowen. An affair with Ford ensued, which she portrayed in fictionalised form in her novel \u003cem\u003eQuartet\u003c\/em\u003e (1928).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAfter Leaving Mr. Mackenzie\u003c\/em\u003e (1931), the protagonist, Julia Martin, is a more unravelled version of Marya Zelli, romantically dumped and inhabiting the pavements, cafes and cheap hotel rooms of Paris. With \u003cem\u003eVoyage in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e (1934), Rhys continued to portray a mistreated, rootless woman. Here the narrator, Anna, is a young chorus girl who grew up in the West Indies and feels alienated in England. \u003cem\u003eGood Morning, Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e (1939) is often considered a continuation of Rhys's first two novels. Here, she uses modified stream of consciousness to voice the experiences of an ageing woman, Sasha Jansen, who drinks, takes sleeping pills, and obsesses over her looks, and is adrift again in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGood Morning, Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e, acknowledged as well-written but deemed depressing, came as World War II broke out and readers sought optimism. This seemingly ended Rhys's literary career. In the 1940s, Rhys largely withdrew from public life. From 1955 to 1960, she lived in Bude, Cornwall, where she was unhappy, calling it \"Bude the Obscure\", before moving to Cheriton Fitzpaine, a small village in Devon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a long absence from the public eye, she was rediscovered by Selma Vaz Dias, who in 1949, placed an advertisement in the \u003cem\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/em\u003e asking about her whereabouts, with a view to obtaining the rights to adapt her novel \u003cem\u003eGood Morning, Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e for radio. Rhys responded, and thereafter developed a long-lasting and collaborative friendship with Vaz Dias, who encouraged her to start writing again. This encouragement ultimately led to the publication in 1966 of her critically acclaimed novel \u003cem\u003eWide Sargasso Sea\u003c\/em\u003e. She intended it as an account of the woman whom Rochester married and kept in his attic in Jane Eyre. Begun well before she settled in Bude, the book won the notable WH Smith Literary Award in 1967.

A key episode in Bolaño's life, mentioned in different forms in several of his works, occurred in 1973, when he left Mexico for Chile to \"help build the revolution\" by supporting the democratic socialist government of Salvador Allende. After Augusto Pinochet's right-wing military coup against Allende, Bolaño was arrested on suspicion of being a \"terrorist\" and spent eight days in custody, after which he returned to Mexico before moving to Spain in 1977, where he settled and married. From the 1980s until his death from liver failure, he lived in the small Catalan beach town of Blanes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough known for his novels and short stories, Bolaño was a prolific poet of free verse and prose poems. As a character says in The Savage Detectives, \"Poetry is more than enough for me...although sooner or later I'm bound to commit the vulgarity of writing stories.\" In the final decade of his life Bolaño produced a significant body of work, consisting of short stories and novels. In his fiction the characters are often novelists or poets, some of them aspiring and others famous, and writers appear ubiquitous in Bolaño's world, variously cast as heroes, villains, detectives and iconoclasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBolaño's writings repeatedly manifest a concern with the nature and purpose of literature and its relationship to life and politics. One commentator discusses his idea of literary culture as a \"whore\":\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Among the many acid pleasures of the work of Roberto Bolaño, who died at 50 in 2003, is his idea that culture, in particular literary culture, is a whore. In the face of political repression, upheaval and danger, writers continue to swoon over the written word, and this, for Bolaño, is the source both of nobility and of pitch-black humor. In his novel \u003cem\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/em\u003e, two avid young Latino poets never lose faith in their rarefied art no matter the vicissitudes of life, age and politics. If they are sometimes ridiculous, they are always heroic. But what can it mean, he asks us and himself, in his dark, extraordinary, stinging novella \u003cem\u003eBy Night in Chile\u003c\/em\u003e, that the intellectual elite can write poetry, paint and discuss the finer points of avant-garde theater as the junta tortures people in basements? The word has no national loyalty, no fundamental political bent; it's a genie that can be summoned by any would-be master. Part of Bolaño's genius is to ask, via ironies so sharp you can cut your hands on his pages, if we perhaps find a too-easy comfort in art, if we use it as anesthetic, excuse and hide-out in a world that is very busy doing very real things to very real human beings.
