December 2008Zurück nach Lanús
Roman
by Sergio Olguín, Matthias Strobel
In Lanús, einem Vorort von Buenos Aires, wird der junge Francisco erschossen – angeblich bei einem Überfall auf einen Kiosk. Doch weder seiner Familie noch seinen Freunden scheint daran zu liegen, die Wahrheit über den Mord herauszufinden. Nur Adrián, der letzte, den Francisco vor seinem Tod angerufen hat, will Klarheit: Dafür kehrt er zum erstenmal nach vielen Jahren zurück nach Lanús, dem Ort seiner Kindheit, und gerät in einen Strudel aus Ereignissen, die immer mehr zum Krimi werden. Spannend und vielschichtig erzählt Sergio Olguín, der Autor des Romans Die Traummannschaft, von einem Verbrechen, das nur die Spitze des Eisberges ist, von schmutzigen Deals, korrupten Polizisten und von Jugendfreunden, die nicht immer das sind, was sie zu sein vorgeben.

February 2006Die Traummannschaft
Roman
by Sergio Olguín, Matthias Strobel
Argentinien im Hochsommer: Dem 14jährigen Ariel, der am liebsten Fußball spielt und neben der Schule im Laden seines Onkels jobbt, stehen heiße Tage bevor, denn er ist unsterblich verliebt. Die Angebetete, Patricia, kommt aus einem ärmlichen Stadtviertel, das Ariel bisher ängstlich gemieden hat. Sein Mut ist jedoch gefordert, als das Ungeheuerliche geschieht: Eine Bande Krimineller klaut den größten Schatz, den Patricias Vater besitzt: Diego Maradonas ersten Fußball. Ariel und seine Freunde beschließen, den Ball zurückzuholen – zum ersten Mal verlassen sie ihre behütete Welt und stürzen sich in ein lebensbedrohliches Abenteuer. Mit tiefgründigem Witz und charmanter Leichtigkeit erzählt Sergio Olguín vom Zauber der ersten Liebe, von Freundschaft in allen Lebenslagen und von Fußballtoren, die besser nicht geschossen worden wären.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 1996Colonial discourse / postcolonial theory
by Francis Barker, Peter Hulme, Margaret Iverson
The issues of colonialism and imperialism have recently come to the forefront of thinking in the humanities. Disciplines such as history, literature and anthropology are taking stock of their extensive and usually unacknowledged legacy of Empire. At the same time, contemporary cultural theory has had to respond to post-colonial pressure, with its different registers and agendas. This volume ranges, geographically, from Brazil to India and South Africa, from the Andes to the Caribbean and the USA. This range is matched by a breadth of historical perspectives. Central to the whole volume is a critique of the very idea of the "postcolonial" itself. Contributors include Annie Coombes, Simon During, Peter Hulme, Neil Lazarus, David Lloyd, Anne McClintock, Zita Nunes, Benita Parry, Graham Pechey, Mary Louise Pratt, Renato Rosaldo and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. ;

Biography & True StoriesMarch 2024Barbara Comyns
A savage innocence
by Avril Horner
The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language. Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist's model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet's Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography not only excavates Comyns's life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.
