CALASSO, ROBERTO;PARKS, TIM

Ka: Stories of the Mind and Gods of India

New York, New York, U.S.A. Vintage Books. 1999. (ISBN: 0679775471). Ppbk, 8vo. pp. 448, With the same narrative fecundity and imaginative sympathy he brought to his acclaimed retelling of the Greek myths, Roberto Calasso plunges Western readers into the mind of ancient India. He begins with a mystery: Why is the most important god in the Rg Veda, the oldest of India's sacred texts, known by a secret name--"Ka," or Who? What ensues is not an explanation, but an unveiling. Here are the stories of the creation of mind and matter; of the origin of Death, of the first sexual union and the first parricide. We learn why Siva must carry his father's skull, why snakes have forked tongues, and why, as part of a certain sacrifice, the king's wife must copulate with a dead horse. A tour de force of scholarship and seduction, Ka is irresistible. Very Good/No Dj.

Adultery and Other Diversions

Secker & Warburg, 1998. Hardcover. ISBN: Erotica. Hardback with D/J in very good condition. Amazon This is a collection of pieces which lie somewhere between essays and narratives. The first is called "Adultery". It tells the story of the author's friend and squash partner who, after nine years of marriage, has an affair. The man is transformed by the romance of this new encounter. The writer feels its reverberations in his own life: what would happen if he had an affair? How can a marriage possibly remain exciting? His friend is risking everything, and for what? This is the starting point for Parks' journey of enquiry which takes in, amongst other areas, "Fidelity", "Maturity", "Europe", "Glory" and "Charity". He takes his subjects, which can sound dry, and spins them into a series of fascinating expositions which draw on personal, philosophical and cultural examples. Though he has a massive frame of reference, he doesn't wield his knowledge with bombastic authority. He is not interested in knowledge but in understanding experience, and when he calls in Wittgenstein or Shakespeare, they provide useful connecting tissue only where relevant to the issues in his own life. He teaches without didacticism and entertains while revealing truth. The book is funny, unpretentious and compelling, and combines the gravitas of philosophy with the thrill of good gossip.

Adultery & other diversions

Harvill Secker, 1998. Pp: 184. Drawing on anecdote, autobiography, and an extraordinary range of reading, novelist Tim Parks has fused together essay and narrative to create a beguilingly new reading experience, at once charming, gripping and intellectually mind-blowing. Whether he is exploring ghosts or First World War Heroes, Indian gods or Verona Football Club, adultery or the EC, each piece moves with masterful assurance towards those moments of illumination when finally we appreciate, if only fleetingly, the relationship between our most intimate experiences and the larger world of ideas, and in doing so grasp the principles that underlie our modern way of life.

Uitgeverij De Arbeiderspers. Ed./Druk: 1. Paperback. Pp: 284. Op het hoogtepunt van zijn carrière is Harold Cleaver, gevierd tv-presentator en overtuigd Bourgondiër, met de noorderzon vertrokken. De reden voor zijn vlucht is de publicatie van de geromantiseerde autobiografie van zijn oudste zoon, die een rechtstreekse aanval op zijn illustere vader opent. De lectuur van dit boek heeft Cleaver zo aangegrepen dat hij zich gedurende langere tijd wil terugtrekken om zo weinig mogelijk te moeten communiceren met wie dan ook. Hij installeert zich in een afgelegen berghut in Zuid-Tirol, boven de geluidsgrens, in een streek waarvan hij de taal niet spreekt. Gsm's, televisie en radio zijn weliswaar uit te zetten, maar Cleavers malende gedachten zijn dat niet. Langzaam maar zeker krijgen we een beeld van Cleaver en de rol die hij in zijn gezin heeft gespeeld. Een rol waarover vader en zoon nogal van mening verschillen. ISBN: 9789029563710.
