Die Nacht hatte schon immer besonderen Einfluss auf diejenigen, die versuchen die Welt in einem anderen Licht zu betrachten. Wenn alles zur Ruhe gekommen ist, wenn das Licht ausgeschaltet, die Telefone auf stumm geschaltet und die Türen verriegelt werden, dann übernimmt eine Parallelwelt aus Dunkelheit und Stille. Diese Faszination, wie die Dinge nachts erscheinen, ist tief in Daniel Freemans Fotografie verankert und findet ihren Weg in Midnight on Main zusammen mit dem zweitgrößten Einfluss des Fotografen, der amerikanischen Populärkultur. Abseits der Hektik der schlaflosen Großstädte erkundet Daniel Freeman als nächtlicher Flaneur die ruhigere Seite der amerikanischen Nacht und porträtiert den Charme der Kleinstädte der Vereinigten Staaten sowie eines weniger gezeigten Amerikas. Ergänzt durch Sterne, Nebel und Mondschein, folgt er dem, was vom amerikanischen Traum noch übrig geblieben ist, und zeichnet die besondere Art des amerikanischen Ruhmes nach, der seit seiner Erfindung nicht an Faszination verloren hat. Midnight on Main dokumentiert die stille Anmut und erleuchtete Schönheit, die ausgedehnten und friedlichen Zwischenspiele der Ruhe, die sich zwischen Dämmerung und Morgengrauen erstrecken. Urbane Landschaft von ihrer besten Seite.
Midnight At the Dragon Cafe by Judy Fong Bates Pdf
Set in the 1960s, Judy Fong Bates’s much-talked-about debut novel is the story of a young girl, the daughter of a small Ontario town’s solitary Chinese family, whose life is changed over the course of one summer when she learns the burden of secrets. Through Su-Jen’s eyes, the hard life behind the scenes at the Dragon Café unfolds. As Su-Jen’s father works continually for a better future, her mother, a beautiful but embittered woman, settles uneasily into their new life. Su-Jen feels the weight of her mother’s unhappiness as Su-Jen’s life takes her outside the restaurant and far from the customs of the traditional past. When Su-Jen’s half-brother arrives, smouldering under the responsibilities he must bear as the dutiful Chinese son, he forms an alliance with Su-Jen’s mother, one that will have devastating consequences. Written in spare, intimate prose, Midnight at the Dragon Café is a vivid portrait of a childhood divided by two cultures and touched by unfulfilled longings and unspoken secrets.

Like the house built by Ann Peters’s father on a hill in eastern Wisconsin, House Hold offers many views: cornfields and glacial lakes, fast food parking lots and rural highways, Manhattan apartments and Brooklyn brownstones. Peters revisits the modern split-level where she grew up in Wisconsin, remembering her architect father. Against the background of this formative space, she charts her roaming story through two decades of New York City apartments, before traveling to a cabin in the mountains of Colorado and finally purchasing an old farmhouse in upstate New York. More than a memoir of remembered landscapes, House Hold is also an expansive contemplation of America, a meditation on place and property, and an exploration of how literature shapes our thinking about the places we live. A gifted prose stylist, Peters seamlessly combines her love of buildings with her love of books. She wanders through the rooms of her past but also through what Henry James called “the house of fiction,” interweaving personal narrative with musings on James, Willa Cather, William Dean Howells, Paule Marshall, William Maxwell, and others. Peters reflects on the romance of pastoral retreat, the hazards of nostalgia, America’s history of expansion and land ownership, and the conflicted desires to put down roots and to hit the road. Throughout House Hold, she asks how places make us who we are.
100 American Horror Films by Barry Keith Grant Pdf
"[A] well-plotted survey." Total Film In 100 American Horror Films, Barry Keith Grant presents entries on 100 films from one of American cinema's longest-standing, most diverse and most popular genres, representing its rich history from the silent era - D.W. Griffith's The Avenging Conscience of 1915 - to contemporary productions - Jordan Peele's 2017 Get Out. In his introduction, Grant provides an overview of the genre's history, a context for the films addressed in the individual entries, and discusses the specific relations between American culture and horror. All of the entries are informed by the question of what makes the specific film being discussed a horror film, the importance of its place within the history of the genre, and, where relevant, the film is also contextualized within specifically American culture and history. Each entry also considers the film's most salient textual features, provides important insight into its production, and offers both established and original critical insight and interpretation. The 100 films selected for inclusion represent the broadest historical range, and are drawn from every decade of American film-making, movies from major and minor studios, examples of the different types or subgenres of horror, such as psychological thriller, monster terror, gothic horror, home invasion, torture porn, and parody, as well as the different types of horror monsters, including werewolves, vampires, zombies, mummies, mutants, ghosts, and serial killers.
