Since the 1970s, Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning novels and short fiction featuring Matthew Scudder. Now, with both himself and his detective half a century older, the author found himself charged with writing a book about his protagonist.And he decided he wasn't the right person for the job.LB: "What was Matt's family like? How did he spend his childhood? What steered him toward the NYPD, and how did he get all the way from the Police Academy to a detective's gold shield? Who were the influences and what were the experiences that made him the man we've come to know? These were important questions. There were certainly stories to be told, but that didn't mean I was the person to tell them. If Matt Scudder was to have a memoir, he ought to write it himself."So Block passed on the assignment to his most enduring fictional character, and the result—The Autobiography of Matthew Scudder—is a remarkable document, at once a convincing...

Best known for his "Legend of Duluoz" novels, including On the Road and The Dharma Bums, Jack Kerouac is also an important poet. In these eight extended poems, Kerouac writes from the heart of experience in the music of language, employing the same instrumental blues form that he used to fullest effect in Mexico City Blues, his largely unheralded classic of postmodern literature. Edited by Kerouac himself, Book of Blues is an exuberant foray into language and consciousness, rich with imagery, propelled by rhythm, and based in a reverent attentiveness to the moment.
"In my system, the form of blues choruses is limited by the small page of the breastpocket notebook in which they are written, like the form of a set number of bars in a jazz blues chorus, and so sometimes the word-meaning can carry from one chorus into another, or not, just like the phrase-meaning can carry harmonically from one chorus to the other, or not, in jazz, so that, in these blues as in jazz, the form is determined by time, and by the musicians spontaneous phrasing & harmonizing with the beat of time as it waves & waves on by in measured choruses." —Jack Kerouac Views: 217
When you steal from the gods, they find the most creative ways to punish you… Lukas
and his best friend Mal are Greek adventurers and warriors in the
tradition of Jason, Odysseus, and a host of other heroes, and Lukas
knows that despite his humble beginnings, he has the potential to take
his place among those men as a legend of mythic proportions. But no one
else believes in him, and so he sets out to prove them all wrong by
undertaking a most Herculean task: climbing Mount Olympus and stealing
Zeus’s golden crown. Zeus, however, is not amused, and Lukas’s
theft is quickly punished with his swift and painful death—or so Zeus
believes. But Aphrodite has other plans for such a bold and handsome
hero: she rescues Lukas from death’s door and uses her powers to hide
him away in the body of Lucia, a comely maiden who Zeus would never
suspect of being the thief who took his crown. Now, Lucia has
only a few days to convince Mal to help her find and return Zeus’s
crown, before the other gods realize what Aphrodite has done and return
Lucia to Hades… or worse, leave her trapped forever in the body of this
maiden. She’ll need to move fast and decisively to win the day, which
would be easy if she weren’t so distracted by all these strange new
feelings of lust and attraction she’s having for her adventuring
partner, Mal… Views: 217
