The New Wave Fabulists

<div>&ldquo;Agee&rsquo;s prose poem captures the textural variety of Brooklyn in language that bears reading aloud for its lilt, melody, and pleasingly pungent vocabulary.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist (starred review) For the first time in book form&mdash;from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author Foreword by Jonathan Lethem, author Motherless Brooklyn In 1939, James Agee was assigned to write an article on Brooklyn for a special issue of Fortune on New York City. The draft was rejected for &ldquo;creative differences,&rdquo; and remained unpublished until it appeared in Esquire in 1968 under the title &ldquo;Southeast of the Island: Travel Notes.&rdquo; Crossing the borough from the brownstone heights over the Brooklyn Bridge out through backstreet neighborhoods like Flatbush, Midwood, and Sheepshead Bay that roll silently to the sea, Agee captured in 10,000 remarkable words, the essence of a place and its people. Propulsive, lyrical, jazzy, and tender, its pitch-perfect descriptions endure even as Brooklyn changes; Agee&rsquo;s essay is a New York classic. Resonant with the rhythms of Hart Crane, Walt Whitman, and Thomas Wolfe, it takes its place alongside Alfred Kazin&rsquo;s A Walker in the City as a great writer&rsquo;s love-song to Brooklyn and alongside E. B. White&rsquo;s Here Is New York as an essential statement of the place so many call home. &ldquo;Agee&rsquo;s rhapsodically detailed essay/prose poem is a Whitmanessque catalog, evoking a Brooklyn of ordinary people.&rdquo; &mdash;Berkshire Eagle &ldquo;Strikingly successful in uncovering America&rsquo;s Brooklyn, its neighborhoods and its people . . . the book is startlingly beautiful.&rdquo; &mdash;The Brooklyn Rail &ldquo;Agee is a wonderfully poetic writer, and he weaves a beautiful portrait of the borough, covering the people and places in every corner of Brooklyn&rsquo;s seventy-one miles&rdquo; &mdash;Park Slope Reader</div>

Brooklyn Is

<div>A glimpse into the mind of the bestselling science fiction author through a collection of his personal, metaphysical, religious, visionary writings.Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes, journal entries, letters, and story sketches, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this will be the definitive presentation of Dick&rsquo;s brilliant, and epic, final work. In The Exegesis, Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom what he called &ldquo;2-3-74,&rdquo; a postmodern visionary experience of the entire universe &ldquo;transformed into information.&rdquo; In entries that sometimes ran to hundreds of pages, Dick tried to write his way into the heart of a cosmic mystery that tested his powers of imagination and invention to the limit, adding to, revising, and discarding theory after theory, mixing in dreams and visionary experiences as they occurred, and pulling it all together in three late novels known as the VALIS trilogy. In this abridgment, Jackson and Lethem serve as guides, taking the reader through the Exegesis and establishing connections with moments in Dick&rsquo;s life and work.The e-book includes a sample chapter from A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick. &ldquo;A dyspeptic dystopian&rsquo;s mad secret notebooks, imposing order&mdash;at least of a kind&mdash;on a chaotic world&hellip;Fascinating and unsettling.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews</div>
