Risky Business

Autor: R. Serge Denisoff , William D. Romanowski

Número de Páginas: 519

The role of motion pictures in the popularity of rock music became increasingly significant in the latter twentieth century. Rock music and its interaction with film is the subject of this significant book that re-examines and extends Serge Denisoff’s pioneering observations of this relationship.

Autor: Ben Lerner

Una novela hermosa y completamente original sobre la creación artística, el amor y el significado de la familia en un Nueva York acechado por inminentes huracanes y desestabilidad política. 10:04 es la nueva novela de Ben Lerner, autor que ha cosechado diversos premios y ha sido elogiado por los más destacados autores literarios del momento; John Freeman opina que Lerner es mejor estilista que Philip Roth, y Jonathan Franzen dice: «Hilarante e inteligente, una novela llena de vida». 10:04 nos presenta a un joven escritor neoyorquino que en el último año ha sufrido grandes cambios: ha conseguido un importante reconocimiento literario, le han diagnosticado una enfermedad que podría ser grave y su mejor amiga le ha pedido esperma para inseminarse. Sus dudas al respecto acaban por llevarle a mantener una fantasiosa conversación (al más puro estilo Woody Allen) con su hipotéticohijo sobre la falta de sentido de ser padre en un mundo en estado terminal. Al mismo tiempo, empieza una relación sexual con una artista emergente de las artes visuales a la que le gusta que la asfixien durante el coito... También se interesa por el movimiento Ocupa Wall Street, y ofrece su casa...
