August 2021Weiße Nacht
Roman
by Bae Suah, Sebastian Bring
Die 28-jährige Ayami ist Assistentin im einzigen Hörtheater von Seoul, nun wird es für immer geschlossen. Ohne eine Vorstellung davon zu haben, wie ihr Leben künftig aussehen soll, streift sie bis spät in die Nacht mit dem Theaterdirektor durch die Straßen der Stadt, sie suchen nach einer gemeinsamen verschollenen Freundin und sprechen über Lyrik, Teilzeitjobs und die Vergeblichkeit von Liebe. Am nächsten Tag verdingt sie sich als Dolmetscherin eines gerade angereisten Krimiautors, sie sprechen über Literatur, Fotografie und die Vergeblichkeit, in den Norden zu reisen. Und während die Sommerhitze Seoul in einen Tempel betäubender Mattigkeit verwandelt, hält allmählich die Vergangenheit Einzug und lässt die Grenzen zwischen Wirklichkeit und Traum zerfließen. Weiße Nacht ist ein flirrender Fiebertraum, in dem wir eine Welt eintauchen, die unter dem Sichtbaren liegt. Eine Welt, in der mehrere Versionen unserer selbst gleichzeitig existieren und die von Schönheit und Güte und Abgründigem bewohnt ist.

Biography & True StoriesNovember 2024Walking in the dark
James Baldwin, my father and I
by Douglas Field
A moving exploration of the life and work of the celebrated American writer, blending biography and memoir with literary criticism. Since James Baldwin's death in 1987, his writing - including The Fire Next Time, one of the manifestoes of the Civil Rights Movement, and Giovanni's Room, a pioneering work of gay fiction - has only grown in relevance. Douglas Field was introduced to Baldwin's essays and novels by his father, who witnessed the writer's debate with William F. Buckley at Cambridge University in 1965. In Walking in the dark, he embarks on a journey to unravel his life-long fascination and to understand why Baldwin continues to enthral us decades after his death. Tracing Baldwin's footsteps in France, the US and Switzerland, and digging into archives, Field paints an intimate portrait of the writer's life and influence. At the same time, he offers a poignant account of coming to terms with his father's Alzheimer's disease. Interweaving Baldwin's writings on family, illness, memory and place, Walking in the dark is an eloquent testament to the enduring power of great literature to illuminate our paths.

The Artist of the Future Age: William Blake, Neo-Romanticism, Counterculture and Now
by Douglas Field
This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to William Blake.

Opening with two articles by the late Michael Horovitz, an important figure in the 'Blake Renaissance' of the 1960s, the issue goes on to investigate the ideological struggle over Blake in the early part of the twentieth century, with particular reference to W. B. Yeats. This is followed by articles on the artistic avant-garde and underground of the 1960s and on Blake's significance for science fiction authors of the 1970s. The issue closes with an article on the contemporary Belgian art collective maelstrÖm reEvolution.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureNovember 2025Dirtbag dreams
A history of mountain, ultra and trail running
by Carl Morris
The first book to share the untold story of this unique sport, from its origins in the Victorian era to the present day. Over the past two decades, mountain, ultra and trail running has experienced a massive boom in participation, media attention and corporate consumerism. Once little more than an oddball recreation for mountain athletics romantics, the sport has become a mass activity in ways that were previously unimaginable. In Dirtbag dreams, Carl Morris offers the first complete account of mountain, ultra and trail running in North America and Britain. Revealing the sport's eccentric Victorian origins, he traces its development through 200 years of history, travelling from the Sierra Nevada and the English Lake District to the streets of London and New York. Packed with gripping races and colourful characters, Dirtbag dreams is the essential companion for anyone who wants to understand this unique endurance sport.

Pasts at play
Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914
by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling
This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.
