Ten Thousand Lives: Maninbo, Volumes 21-25

Born in 1933 in a small rural village in Korea’s North Cholla Province, Ko Un grew up in a Japanese-controlled land that was soon to experience the horrors of the Korean War. He became a Buddhist monk in 1952, and began writing in the late 1950s. Ten Thousand Lives is his major, ongoing work, which began in prison with a determination to describe every person he had ever met or heard of. It tells the stories of many figures from Korean history, as well as children and poor people, who, without his poems, would have vanished into oblivion. Green Integer previously published Volumes 1–10.

My Year 2013: Murderers and Angels

The mass shootings that led up to 2013 and continued throughout the year determined that Douglas Messerli’s 14th volume of his My Year series would be focused on the individuals behind the weapons that had killed so very many innocent children and adults. But at the same time, it became clear to this historian of societal and personal cultural events residing in the city of Angels that there were also angels in our midst who created a dichotomy in life. As Cary Grant’s angelic messenger in the film The Bishop’s Wife observed, the face you see while strolling any city or village street “may be the face of a murderer or the face of an angel.” And in most cases there was no way to easily tell the difference.

 

Grammatical Dreams

Grammatical Dreams presents a series of luxuriant, twinkling, dream-like tales that might almost remind one of Scheherazade’s One Thousand and One Nights. Murray Pomerance is a Canadian writer of several fictions and books on film.

Biography of Julie von Bartmann

Written in France in 1923–24 and never previously published, Djuna Barnes’ play, Biography of Julie von Bartmann, is related to several of her early stories—particularly “A Night Among the Horses”—and to her 1928 fiction Ryder. Like the father, Wendell, of her fiction, the father of this early play, Basil Born, refuses to let his children attend public school, and challenges the school authorities, opposing their teaching methodologies: he wins. And like the early short story, one of Barnes’ best, a strong and sophisticated woman verbally destroys her “bestial” horse groom.

 

A Poetic Order of Excess

Translator Jorge Brioso and poets Néstor Díaz de Villegas and Enrico Mario Santí will present the new collection A Poetic Order of Excess by Cuban poet José Lezama Lima (1910–1976), one of the most influential writers in Latin American Literature. December 12, 2019, 8pm, $10 at Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Blvd.
