The ArtsJanuary 2019Joss Whedon
by Matthew Pateman
This book assesses Joss Whedon's contribution to US television and popular culture. Examining everything from his earliest work to his most recent tweets and activist videos, it explores his complex and contradictory roles as both cult outsider and blockbuster filmmaker. Crucially, the book insists on the wider industrial, technological, political and economic contexts that have both influenced and been influenced by Whedon, rejecting the notion of Whedon as isolated television auteur. Using key source material, with exclusive access to drafts of many of the episodes across Whedon's career, as well as unique correspondence with Whedon collaborator Jane Espenson, this book offers unparalleled access to the creative process that helped produce the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse and Firefly. Energetic, engaging and informed by detailed scholarship and theoretical rigour, the book is not just an essential addition to the study of Whedon, but a timely and important re-invigoration of television studies in general.

April 2022Corona Chaos. Confessions from a pharmacist
by Simon Krivec
More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.

Biography & True StoriesSeptember 2024Bedsit land
The strange worlds of Soft Cell
by Patrick Clarke
A rich and revealing examination of the legendary pop duo Soft Cell. Soft Cell are not your average pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may be best known for the string of hits they released in 1981, but the powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array of sounds, influences and innovations that would change the face of music to come. In Bedsit land, Patrick Clarke plunges into the archives and interviews more than sixty contributors, including the band members themselves, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho. From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. He emerges on the other side with the most in-depth, innovative and entertaining account of the duo ever written.

Gesammelte Annäherungen
by James Joyce, Fritz Senn, Klaus Reichert, Reinhard Markner, Harald Beck, Kurt Jauslin, Friedhelm Rathjen, Helmut Stoltefuß, Ingeborg Horn, Robert Weninger, Klaus Hofmann, Birgit König, Peter Otto, Klaus Reichert, Georg Goyert, Wolfgang Hildesheimer, Hans Wollschläger, Dieter H. Stündel, Ulrich Blumenbach, Wolfgang Schrödter, Robert Motherwell
Das Werk gilt als unübersetzbar, und dennoch, oder gerade deshalb, hat es immer wieder Übersetzer und Schriftsteller, Außenseiter und Fachleute gereizt, Übersetzungen zu probieren. Gerade die Unterschiedlichkeit der übersetzerischen Ansätze - vom genauen Zusammentragen der einzelnen Sinnschichten bis hin zu einem eleganten Darüberhinhuschen - vermag einen Eindruck dieses rätselhaften Buches zu vermitteln.

November 2023On the Life and Death of Insects
The world of Jean-Henri Fabre
by Stephan Krall
— 200th anniversary of the birth of Jean-Henri Fabre on 21 December 2023 — First all-encompassing biography of the entomologist — Biodiversity as a hot topic Jean-Henri Fabre (1823–1915) was a French teacher, scientist and researcher. At a time when insects were not among the preferred biological objects of study (and if they were, it was only for them to be collected, pinned and identified), Fabre began to conduct behavioural research on insects. This was not appreciated until very late in his life, so Fabre and his family were largely destitute most of the time. Stephan Krall provides a very personal account of this extraordinary and passionate researcher of insects, spiders and scorpions, who managed to publish scientific documents, complete his doctorate and write books on the side. Today he is considered as one of the founding fathers of the behavioural biology of insects.
