        Gebürtig

        Roman

        by Robert Schindel

        Robert Schindel erzählt in »Gebürtig« aus der Gegenwart der achtziger Jahre über jene Befangenheiten und Verstrickungen in Scham und Lüge, die sich als »gläserne Wand« immer wieder aufs neue zwischen die unsere Jahrhundertkatastrophe überlebenden Juden und die nachgewachsenen deutsch-österreichischen Nichtjuden schiebt. In den ›brodelnden Gebürtigkeiten‹ der Wiener Beisel-Boheme und des Kaffeehausmilieus, wo jüdisches Herkommen und nichtjüdischer Freundeskreis sich verstricken, ist das ungleiche Zwillingsbruderpaar Demant zu Hause. Mal handelnd, mal kommentierend und notierend, treiben Danny, der Lektor, und Alexander, genannt ›Graffito‹, zwischen Wien und Venedig, Frankfurt, Hamburg und New York, München und Freiburg das Romangeschehen weiter. »Gebürtig« ist aus dem gelebten Wissen entstanden, daß aus den Tätern und Opfern von damals im Gang der Geschichte und der Generationen Täter-Kinder und Opfer-Kinder geworden sind - gemeinsame Opfer einer niemals vergehenden Vergangenheit.

        Kilroy was here

        Ein immerwährender Kalender

        by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Kat Menschik

        Zum Lesen, Verwerfen, Mitschreiben und Selbstdichten. Mit einer kurzen Geschichte vom geheimnisvollen Leben Kilroys und einem Daumenkino von Kat Menschik. Zur Aufmunterung des Denkens: ein Dreizeiler für jeden Tag »Der schlichte Dreizeiler / entwaffnet die Ungeduld / durch seine Kürze.« Kilroys Dreizeiler reichen für ein ganzes Jahr. Obwohl das japanische Wort haiku soviel bedeutet wie »lustiger Vers«, können es die hier präsentierten Dreizeiler nicht mit dieser ehrwürdigen Tradition aufnehmen; denn Kilroy hält es mit dem einfachen Kreidestrich. Das Graffito zieht er dem Tweet, dem Blog und dem Chat vor. Man kann seine Dreizeiler also in die Tasche stecken. Sie handeln von allem, was der Fall ist, beispielsweise von einem Frosch oder von der Europäischen Zentralbank. Wem der zu einem jeden Jahrestag gebotene Dreizeiler aber nicht gefällt, der kann ihn einfach durchstreichen und einen anderen verfassen. Denn in Kilroys kleinem Buch gibt es nicht nur unter jedem Jahrestag Platz für Notizen, sondern auch genügend Freiraum für neue, selbsterfundene Dreizeiler. Eine kurze Geschichte Kilroys und wie er sich in jede FAZ-Ausgabe des Jahres 2014 zu schmuggeln verstand, lässt den »Immerwährenden« denn doch ein gutes Ende nehmen. Und sollte noch immer jemand an Kilroys Existenz zweifeln, so wird ihn Kat Menschiks Daumenkino davon überzeugen, dass er quicklebendig ist.

        Femicide

        Violence against women

        by Julia Cruschwitz, Carolin Haentjes

        In Germany, 132 women were murdered by their (ex-)partners over the past year, according to police statistics. An attempted murder happened every other day – the real figure is in all probability much higher. Julia Cruschwitz and Carolin Haentjes unveil their book on femicides in Germany with research from interviews with academics, criminologists, police officers, social workers, lawyers, survivors, witnesses and relatives and their analysis of scientific reports. Their work highlights how the issue of femicides affects the whole of society, but there are sensible ways to protect women more effectively from male violence. All we must do is take steps to follow these.

        Graffiti & Co

        by Rémi Vidal

        A scribbling story, people will be talking about. As his dad is walking him to school one morning, Sasha comes across a weird message written in red paint on a wall : “Police, you are sausages”. In the next few days, several similar slogans appeared all around town. Do we have to seek and unmask the one who gets already called “the rude graffer” and most of all  : what does he want to say through his mysterious messages ?     A story in 4 episodes :   The rude graffer (08:10) Whether it is at school or at home, Sasha, Susie and their friends only hear about one thing : this “rude graffer” who causes turmoil all around town. His mysterious messages do not spare anyone : the police, fire-fighters, hairdressers and even gardeners…     Deflated (11:00) As if it wasn’t enough, a deflater barges in. Soon uncovered by Sasha, she confesses to him why she proceeds to attack car tires. Torn between disapproval and sympathy towards the deflater, Sasha doesn’t know what to do… Diving into her schemes or exposing her ?   Madam Lucette (09:54) What if the deflater was in cahoots with the rude graffer ? That is what Sasha is wondering. While the police runs in circles, he thinks he might have a lead to get to the “rude graffer”...      Uncovered (12:08) We thought the case was settling down but the graffer started defying kids in his messages. That was all it took to get Sasha and Susie, his best friend, to join their efforts to once and for all unveil the mystery…    https://cutt.ly/dOocqDJ

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING BOWIE

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        No one is bigger than Bowie. From the moment he created Ziggy Stardust, through all his subsequent incarnations, to his elegantly curated, but tragic, death, he remains the ultimate music icon. Desperately Seeking Bowie gets right under the skin of his extraordinary life, following him from modest beginnings in surburban south London, through the outrageous orgiastic partying of the 1970s, to his near death from Cocain addiction in LA, the intensely creative period in Berlin, to his astounding re-emergence after Glastonbury in 2000. What a journey. With a great insightful text, great photos and fascinating maps, this is a 100% must for any Bowie fan – old or young (and there are tons of the latter).

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING VAN GOGH

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        A totally fresh look at the life and career of Van Gogh. The Desperately Seeking treatment is a great way to get a quick sense of the shape of Vincent's extraordinary life, and dispels many of the myths. By any measure he was a bit random. Educated privately by his very respectable parents, he spent time training to be an art dealer, became a teacher in Ramsgate and London when that failed, turned crazily to religion, went and lived as a quasi-preacher in the most depressed part of Belgium, enjoyed a spell at art school in Paris (when his prostitute habit was financed by his long-suffering brother) headed to the south of France – the period of the yellow house and the ear – before spending his final years, when his paintings did begin to be celebrated, in bucolic bliss just north of Paris. He was also probably killed accidentally as a result of a teenager's prank with a revolver – not the suicide which so many specialists have suggested, such is the sentimental view of him. Wonderful Van Gogh art and photos throughout and fascinating maps.

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING DALÍ

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        Dali gets the Desperately Seeking treatment and it's fascinating. The upper-middle class, but very provincially Catalan, background; the possibly abusive priests at school; his time at the Oxbridge of Madrid as a student, holding his talentless teachers (compared to him) in contempt, but developing his surrealist ideas with Bunuel and Lorca. Meeting Gala in Paris, whilst hob-nobbing with the mega rich. The wealthy British patrons, like Edward James, who fell in love with him in London, and his escape from a war-torn Europe to spend time on both East and West Coast USA. It's a grippng story, and the locations surprising, not least as despite his mega wealth, he followed a cycle of his Dalinian year once back in Europe: Cadaques, Paris, New York and back. And in the midst of this the prodigious work-rate of a genius, but one who was uber succesful and commercially hyper-astute. And threaded through all this, his strange sado-massochistic-voyeuristic sexuality, and a tormented, in later life, open marriage with Gala. Castello-Cortes packs a huge mount into this small volume – a total treat for all Dali fans, or the most perfect introduction to his art for new aficionados. Great photos and maps throughout.

        Gunfire-Graffiti

        Overlooked Gun Crime in the UK

        by Matt Seiber (Author)

        Hitherto uncovered crime — which is being ignored by police and authorities; A book on a completely new aspect of crime and punishment; As featured on BBC Radio, and in national and local newspapers; Colour photo section. Gunfire-Graffiti looks at the use of firearms to deface roadside structures and similar targets in public places. Based on investigations by the author and formal research, the book reveals what some people may think is a disturbing picture of gun use—one which passes largely unnoticed or is for some reason downplayed by the police, highways and other authorities. As the author shows, at the very least this kind of ‘graffiti’ is antisocial whilst it is hard to imagine circumstances in which it is not also criminal. Further, there are situations in which shooting in public can be highly dangerous. Focusing on the weapons used, from simple airguns to high velocity rifles and giving information from diverse parts of the UK, Matt Seiber paints a picture of tolerated Lawlessness which some readers will find extraordinary. A former Royal Marine and keen shooting sportsman, the author writes with the passion of someone whose deep-held concern that something is amiss has met with indifference in various quarters. His approach also displays telling humour born of frustration. It is now for the reader to decide.

Dakota begins a harrowing journey to save those she loves and to discover the truth behind the spreading graffiti-even if that truth offends the vampires, alienates the werekin and creates police suspicion of her every action. Saving Atlanta may cost her everything, including custody of her "adopted" weretiger daughter, Cinnamon. But failure is not an option. If the graffiti isn't stopped, Cinnamon could be the next victim. Epic Award winner Anthony Francis writes the Skindancer series while working fulltime for "that famous search engine whose name begins with a 'G'."

        16 Bars on the 4 Pillars of Hip-Hop

        by Carole Boston Weatherford, Frank Morrison

        The roots of rap and the history of hip-hop have origins that precede DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. Kids will learn about how it evolved from folktales, spirituals, and poetry, to the showmanship of James Brown, to the culture of graffiti art and break dancing that formed around the art form and gave birth to the musical artists we know today.

        Georgia’s Rose Revolution

        A Participant’s Perspective

        by Giorgi Kandelaki

        Georgia’s Rose Revolution of 2003, the first bloodless change of power in the Caucasus, occurred largely unpredicted by analysts and policymakers. Both Georgian and western observers feared and predicted yet another wave of bloodshed in this troubled former Soviet nation. Yet the enthusiasm, hard work, and nonviolent discipline of initially small groups sparked what many now call “Europe’s fourth wave of liberation.” “I did not think to pay serious attention to these young people running around with flags and drawing graffiti on the streets,” deposed President Eduard Shevardnadze said shortly after the revolution. “I was wrong,” he added.
