For school, we have to make an oral presentation on a topic of our choice based on the books that we read in class. So far we have only read one, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. I saw shortly According to the advertisement for Dear John and I had raised the idea of doing my presentation on the comparison of the roles of love and romance of War novels from characters such as Martha and Linda have played key roles in The Things They Carried. If I read Dear John, I would also either have some other short stories, poetry and other books to use. Does someone think it will make a good presentation? Any reccomendations literature?

Short Stories $17.99 Jon Anderson’s first project following his departure from Yes was to reunite with the equally airy Vangelis for a collaborative effort as Jon and Vangelis. Short Stories actually marks their second collaboration — the first took place on Vangelis’ 1975 album, Heaven and Hell, with the track “So Long Ago, So Clear.” The pair returns to that song’s successful formula of combining Anderson’s otherworldly voice with Vangelis’ pithy melodies in a few spots on their debut together, notably for the popular single “I Hear You Now” (which recalls Vangelis’ “To the Unknown Man”) and the middle section of “Far Away in Bagaad.” Otherwise, Short Stories favors amorphous arrangements that feature wisps of melody and little more (a style that has its precedent on Yes’ Tormato rather than their own solo work to date). The effect can be, frankly, underwhelming — “Curious Electric” and “Each and Everyday,” for example, seem content to settle for the happy accidents of collaboration rather than fusing their individual sounds into a cohesive whole. Despite a handful of nearly memorable moments, including the playful “Thunder” and the charming “Love Is/One More Time,” the pair would have had more success sticking to their established idioms — after all, China and Olias of Sunhillow were good albums — rather than trying to meet in some equidistant, ethereal plane. Given the record’s paper-thin arrangements, an appreciation for the music of Vangelis and Jon Anderson is no guarantee that Short Stories will please. ~ Dave Connolly, All Music GuidePerformers: Jon Anderson – Vocals; Raphael Preston – Guitar (Acoustic); Vangelis – Keyboards, Multi Instruments, Synthesizer

This volume includes other stories of Louisiana life which explore similar themes of love and marriage. Cambridge Literature is a series of study texts which presents writing in the English-speaking world from the 16th century up to the present day.

Target $11.98 Target is one of those Tom Scott records that gets forgotten about a lot. Certainly it comes from the middle of the 1980s just before the GRP era, when Scott was still leading the Saturday Night Live Band on occasion and looking around for a new sound. It’s the sound of a restless musician who gets the pop game, or at least has gotten it and is not sure of where to shift his focus next. The band is big and full of killer players: Harvey Mason, Ernie Watts, Ian Underwood, Victor Feldman, Paul Jackson, Neil Stubenhaus, Jim Horn, Trevor Feldman, Pete Christlieb, and Michael Boddicker, among others. The sound is a tad warmer than what Atlantic was releasing at the time, too. But the material, as good as some of it is — like the funky title track — also contains half-hearted pop ballads like “Come Back to Me” with Kenny James on vocals. “He’s Too Young,” with a fine vocal performance by Maria Muldaur, is marred by a terribly dated — and it was for the time — synth drum sound. There is also a truly bizarre moment when Lee Ving, former lead singer of Los Angeles hardcore band Fear raps and plays blues harmonica on “Gotta Get out of New York.” Then there’s “Lollipoppin’” which, while it contains the same dumb synth drum sound, also has some killer Rhodes by Feldman, synth work by Underwood, and a happening keyboard bassline. The grooving muted horn section on this reading of Dan Peck’s “The Biggest Part of Me,” has a wonderfully soulful feel with great kit work by Mason. The horn arrangements are in the pocket but restrained, allowing that lithe melody to shine through and, along with the title cut, it’s a contender for best tune on the set. The set closes with the stone-gone funky groover “Burundi Bump” by Scott and Feldman with excellent basslines, pulsing Rhodes work, a boatload of percussion, and Mason running the ensemble from his kit; the entire tune is rhythm based. So Target is, ultimately, a mixed bag, a hold-over record that was throwing everything at the wall to see what worked. Interestingly, what did was the basis for Scott’s sound at GRP. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music GuidePerformers: Tom Scott – Lyricon, Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor), Saxophone, Synthesizer, Wind; Judi Brown – Vocals (Background); Trevor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards; Victor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards, Percussion, Piano, Synthesizer; Jerry Hey – Flugelhorn, Horn, Trumpet;

Love: Short Stories $8.96 This compelling and haunting collection of short fiction exposes issues of longing, obsession, and loss that undercut the perceptions of conventional romance and relationships between both lovers and strangers. Flailing characters reach desperately for each other and never quite connect; others reveal unmasked glimpses of themselves to total strangers in brief, everyday interactions. In the title story, the small act of an unlikely character exposes an unexpected dimension of love. In Surface Calm, a wife, bored with her everyday routines, is driven by loneliness to inflict pain on herself when her husband leaves on a business trip. Other stories in the collection explore similar juxtapositions of passion, horror, and spiritual transcendance.

Literature in the Language Classroom – Short Stories $65.98 As a student I participated in different language courses and the emphasis was put on the coursebook. I found these courses pretty boring. Many experts have debated whether literature is good for demonstrating language structures or not. First of all it can be useful to enliven the classes. It is easier to learn a language if people can enjoy the classes. Literature offers a wide range of materials to be worked on. Of course teachers have to prepare the different materials for the learners, they have to adjust them to the level of the class. With my work I want to show everybody who is afraid of bringing literature to the language class that there is a need of students for literature and that there is a way to make it work with any kind of group. I personally find short stories the most appropriate not only because of their length but their content, too. They deal with everyday topics and while reading people can identify themselves with the characters. They can bring their experience to the class and share it with the others. The more they read the more they will be able to express themselves. Those who don’t believe it must try and they will see it is worth it.

Blank Generation $11.98 Richard Hell was one of the first men on the scene when punk rock first began to emerge in New York City as an early member of both Television and the Heartbreakers (he left both groups before they could record), but his own version of punk wasn’t much like anyone else’s, and while Hell’s debut album, Blank Generation, remains one of the most powerful to come from punk’s first wave, anyone expecting a Ramones/Dead Boys-style frontal assault from this set had better readjust their expectations. “Love Comes in Spurts” and “Liar’s Beware” proved the Voidoids could play fast and loud when they wanted to, but for the most part this group’s formula was much more complicated than that; guitarists Robert Quine and Ivan Julian bounced sharp, edgy patterns off each other that were more about psychological tension than brute force (though Quine’s solos suggest a fragile grace beneath the surface of their neo-Beefheart chaos), and while most punk nihilism was of the simplistic “Everything Sucks” variety, Hell was (with the exception of Patti Smith) the most literate and consciously poetic figure in the New York punk scene. While there’s little on the album that’s friendly or life-affirming, there’s a crackling intelligence to songs like “New Pleasure,” “Betrayal Takes Two,” and “Another World” that confirmed Hell has a truly unique lyrical voice, at once supremely self-confident and dismissive of nearly everything around him (sometimes including himself). Brittle and troubling, but brimming with ideas and musical intelligence, Blank Generation was groundbreaking punk rock that followed no one’s template, and today it sounds just as fresh — and nearly as abrasive — as it did when it first hit the racks. ~ Mark Deming, All Music GuidePerformers: Marc Bell – Drums; Richard Hell – Bass, Vocals; Ivan Julian – Guitar, Vocals (Background); Robert Quine – Guitar, Vocals (Background)

The Oxford Book of Japanese Short Stories $8.62 This collection of short stories, including many new translations, is the first to span the whole of Japan’s modern era from the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. Beginning with the first writings to assimilate and rework Western literary traditions, through the flourishing of the short story genre in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the Taisho era, to the new breed of writers produced under the constraints of literary censorship, and the current writings reflecting the pitfalls and paradoxes of modern life, this anthology offers a stimulating survey of the development of the Japanese short story.brbrVarious indigenous traditions, in addition to those drawn from the West, recur throughout the stories: stories of the self, of the Water Trade (Tokyo’s nightlife of geishas and prostitutes), of social comment, love and obsession, legends and fairytales. This collection includes the work of two Nobel prize-winners: Kawabata and Oe, the talented women writers Hirabayashi, Euchi, Okamoto, and Hayashi, together with the acclaimed Tanizaki, Mishima, and Murakami.brbrThe introduction by Theodore Goossen gives insight into these exotic and enigmatic, sometimes disturbing stories, derived from the lyrical roots of Japanese literature with its distinctive stress on atmosphere and beauty.brstrongTheodore Goossen/strongis Professor of Japanese at York University, Ontario. A talented translator, he is well-acquainted with the contemporary Japanese literary scene, and editor of Descant, a Japanese literary journal.br

Excerpt from book: GOGOL (1809-1852) Nicolai Vasilievich Gogol was born in 1809 in the Ukraine, or Little Russia, which is that part of Russia bordering on Poland. He was of Cossack origin. At the age of twenty he went to Petrograd as a government clerk, an experience which gave him the material for his best short story, The Cloak. He interested himself in dramatics and the study of history, but failing both as an actor and as a professor of history, he devoted himself to literature. His first success came from a series of short sketches describing realistically the life and the people of Little Russia, with all their peculiar customs and superstitions. Through his intense love for his native Ukraine he imparted an atmosphere of vigorous truthfulness both to these sketches and to his first long story, Taras Bulba, based upon the early history of the Cossacks. His greatest work is Dead Souls?a long, rambling novel, poor in plot but rich in characterization. By means of some half dozen characters he gives a remorselessly vivid picture of various phases of Russian life, especially the general corruption of officialdom and the conditions among the landed proprietors and the serfs. Pushkin is said to have exclaimed, when his friend read the opening chapters to him, God! how miserable life is in Russia. Gogol wrote one successful play, Revizor (The Inspector- General). Its theme is similar to that of his stories. It is still popular on the European stage, and has been produced in English. Gogol is classed among the humorists of Russia, but his humor is of the grotesque type. He had a romantic jmagi- nattoa, but always-subordinated it to his desire for realism. With a Remarkable gift for description he combined a weirdsort of pathos; and these attributes gave unique distinction to his s…
