Book Presence in a Digital Age

Book Presence in a Digital Age

Author: Kiene Brillenburg Wurth , Kári Driscoll , Jessica Pressman

Number of pages: 280

Contrary to the apocalyptic pronouncements of paper media's imminent demise in the digital age, there has been a veritable surge of creative reimaginings of books as bearers of the literary. From typographic experiments (Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, Steven Hall's The Raw Shark Texts) to accordion books (Anne Carson's Nox), from cut ups (Jonathan Safran Foer's Tree of Codes) to collages (Graham Rawle's Woman's World), from erasures (Mary Ruefle's A Little White Shadow) to mixups (Simon Morris's The Interpretations of Dreams), print literature has gone through anything but a slow, inevitable death. In fact, it has re-invented itself materially. Starting from this idea of media plurality, Book Presence in a Digital Age explores the resilience of print literatures, book art, and zines in the late age of print from a contemporary perspective, while incorporating longer-term views on media archeology and media change. Even as it focuses on the materiality of books and literary writing in the present, Book Presence also takes into consideration earlier 20th-century "moments" of media transition, developing the concepts of presence and materiality as analytical tools to perform...

Could You Write a Book Comparable to the Book of Mormon?

Could You Write a Book Comparable to the Book of Mormon?

Author: Cory Baker

Number of pages: 74

Writing a 588-page book of your own creation would be a hard task to complete in 85 days, especially one as complex, consistent, original, historical, accurate, and profound as the Book of Mormon. When you read Could You Write a Book Comparable to the Book of Mormon?, your mind will be opened to the many challenges that Joseph Smith would have faced in writing this intricate book, if he was indeed the author. It is my hope that you will be left with no other conclusion than the Book of Mormon was translated by divine intervention, that no man could have invented such a book under those conditions, and that Joseph Smith truly was chosen by God to translate this ancient book of scripture.

A Book about the Film Monty Python's Life of Brian

A Book about the Film Monty Python's Life of Brian

Author: Darl Larsen

Number of pages: 497

As a follow-up to their first true feature film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the comic troupe next decided to tackle a “shadow” version of the Christ story. Shot in the Middle East and produced during Margaret Thatcher’s ascendant years, the film satirized—among other matters—authoritarianism and religious zealotry. Upon its release, Monty Python’s Life of Brian was both a critical and commercial success, and has been since hailed as one of the greatest comedies of all time. But the film also faced backlash from religious groups for its blasphemy, perceived or otherwise. In A Book about the Film Monty Python's Life of Brian: All of the References from Assyrians to Zeffirelli, Darl Larsen identifies and examines the plethora of cultural, historical, and topical allusions in the film. In this resource, Larsen delineates virtually every allusion and reference that appears in the film—from first-century Jerusalem through 1970s Great Britain. Organized chronologically by scene, the entries in this cultural history cover literary and metaphoric allusions, symbolisms, names, peoples, and places, as well as the many social, cultural, and historical elements that...
