Book Review: “The Unknown Kerouac” — Unnecessary?

The Unknown Kerouac is good for the advancement of Kerouac scholarship, but the book hardly justifies, for the average reader, its price and size.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Jack Kerouac, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, Library-of-America, The Unknown Kerouac, Todd Tietchen, Troy Pozirekides

Book Review: “Dharma Lion” — The Rich Heritage of Allen Ginsberg

The power of Allen Ginsberg’s legacy could be felt in the controversy over the decision to award Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize in Literature.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Allen Ginsberg, Bob-Dylan, Dharma Lion, The Beats, University of Minnesota Press

Book Review: “The Hatred of Poetry” — Thinking the Worst About Verse

The Hatred of Poetry claims to explore our culture’s rampant animosity toward the entire art form.

By: Matt Hanson Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: American poetry, Ben Lerner, Poetry, The Hatred of Poetry

Book Review: Don DeLillo’s “Zero K” — The Wages of Cheating Death

Zero K will prove refreshing to Don DeLillo’s readers in that it’s a novel of faith — a concept that he’s always been skeptical of.

By: Tony Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Don-DeLillo, fiction, Simon&Schuster, Zero K

Fuse Remembrance: Farewell, Jack Bruce — Thundering Dynamo of the Bass Guitar

A homage to Jack Bruce, thundering dynamo of the bass guitar, singer of unmatched power and clarity, coequal with Clapton at the helm of the supergroup Cream.

Book Review: “The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair” — Beware the Hype

The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is a long but fast-paced book that walks the line between airport novel and true work of literary fiction.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review, World Books Tagged: Joel Dicker, Swiss Literature, The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, translation

Book Review: “Living in the Meantime” — Too Ambitious for its Own Good

Richard Barnett is familiar with the wide variety of characters that can be found in the American South, and fond of the cadences of their speech—so much so that these preoccupations become a burden.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Living in the Meantime: Three Novellas, Richard Barnett, Southern literature

Book Review: “MFA vs NYC” — There Are Worlds Elsewhere

The culture of American fiction is never as neatly defined as books like “MFA vs NYC” make it out to be.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Chad Harbach, Contemporary America fiction, MFA vs NYC: The Two Cultures of American Fiction, n+1

Book Review: “The Haunted Life” — Learning About What it Took to Become Jack Kerouac

“The Haunted Life” is little more than an example of the staggering amount of work it takes for a writer to find his voice, a testament to the years of toil Kerouac put in before forging a style all his own.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Da Capo Press, Jack Kerouac, The Haunted Life and Other Writings, Todd F. Tietchen

Book Review: “Killing the Second Dog” — A Pair of Captivating Polish Con Artists

Polish writer Marek Hlasko sometimes writes like Hemingway, but without the premium the latter placed on honor and grace.

By: Troy Pozirekides Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review, World Books Tagged: Killing the Second Dog, Polish literature, translation
