Historia
Indiana champions shining examples of literary and artistic merit regardless of whether the individual artist or writer is famous; asserts a standard of care and tradition that has nothing to do with the ivory tower establishment; is unafraid to deliver the coup de grâce when someone needs to say the emperor has no clothes; speaks in the same breath—in the same discerning, insolent, eloquent way—about high art and pop culture. Few writers could get away with saying the things Gary Indiana does. And when the writing is this good, it's also political, plus it's a riot of fun.

This book made me want to read ever one of Indiana's prose. He sees beneath so much pretense. A working class sensibility and a skeptical artist's eye. Unlike Fran Lebowitz, Indiana is a New York writer who us funny, engaging, and his standards challenge real power.

Historia
A searing portrayal of Vienna's bourgeoisie, it begins with the arrival of an unnamed writer at an 'artistic dinner' hosted by a composer and his society wife-a couple he once admired and has come to loathe. The guest of honor, a distinguished actor from the Burgtheater, is late. As the other guests wait impatiently, they are seen through the critical eye of the writer, who narrates a silent but frenzied tirade against these former friends, most of whom have been brought together by Joana, a woman they buried earlier that day.

I've always wanted an audio book.Of this author because of his long, streaming narrative style. Like Sebald or other modernists, the pitiless style lends itself to a performance. i hope more Bernhard and Musil and Sebald follow!

Historia
New reporting by Greenwald and his team of Brazilian journalists brought to light stunning information about grave corruption, deceit, and wrongdoing by the most powerful political actors in Brazil, his home since 2005. These stories, based on a massive trove of previously undisclosed telephone calls, audio, and text, came to light only months after the January 2019 inauguration of Brazil's far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of President Trump.

I found myself inspired by this book. In the dark Trump/Bolsonaro years of covid and fires and corruption, there was a sense of futility. This book shows the confidence and strength of a good journalist, living as an openly gay man in a society not fully tolerant of his marriage. I felt moved by Greenwald's personal anecdotes and encouraged to fight back by his fearlessness in the face of intimidation by bigmouths in media and Bolsonaro's government. He took on a corrupt investigation and abuses of power and detailed the ins and outs of his journalistic process in a clear and forceful manner. This book is rich in little stories of reporting ad well as a warning for how even alleged corruption or abuses of power can cripple effective government.

Historia
A half-century after its original publication, Edward Abbey's classic 1962 novel, Fire on the Mountain, still retains its beauty, power, and relevance. This extraordinary tale by the legendary icon of the environmentalism movement and author of The Monkey Wrench Gang proudly celebrates rugged American individualism, as it tells the story of one tough old loner's stand against the combined, well-armed forces of government that are determined to clear him from his land.

Excellent Abbey
Revisado: 06-11-24
Capturing Abbey's themes of defiance, natural splendor, and commitment, this is a must read. It captures a proud American spirit and beautifully renders a countryside worth saving and freedoms worth preserving.
