Story3
"Searingly honest, brilliant and disturbing. Brad Phillips peels back the skin and bone and stares right into the human soul." (Anthony Bourdain) Brad Phillips' collection of short stories adeptly walks a very thin line between taboo and propriety, with rigorous self-awareness and generosity. By confusing ideas around fiction and autobiography, Phillips writes with painful sincerity about shame, addiction, trauma, and the more troubling outreaches of sexual desire, with wit that is at odds with the subject matter. Brad Phillips is a well-known Canadian artist.

Ida Jessen har siden sin barndom været en lidenskabelig læser. Hvad gør Sigrid Undset, Kathrine Mansfield, Alice Munro, St.St. Blicher, Fjodor Dostojevskij og Kerstin Ekman til nogle af verdens bedste forfattere? Hvor henter de deres stof fra, og hvordan former de det, så det bliver alment menneskeligt? Hvor henter hun selv sit stof? Hvordan kan man konstant forny sig? Og det værste af alle spørgsmål: Hvornår er man færdig som forfatter og skal holde op?

Story0
"The Writing of Essays" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. The art of the essayist is so simple, so entirely free from canons of criticism, and withal so delightful, that one must needs wonder why all men are not essayists. Perhaps people do not know how easy it is.

"The Book of Essays Dedicatory" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. I have been bothered about this book this three months. I have written scarcely anything since Llewellyn asked me for it, for when he asked me I had really nothing on hand. I had just published every line I had ever written, at my own expense, with Prigsbys.
