Manuel Puig: Poljubac žene pauka

El beso de la mujer araña argentinskog pisca Manuela Puiga štampan je prvi put 1976. godine. Radnja romana prati dvojicu zatvorenika Molina i Valentina, i njihov odnos u zatvoru. Molina je feminizirani homoseksualac, dekorater izloga, koji je osuđen zbog zavođenja maloletnika, dok je Valentin politički zatvorenik koji pripada revolucionarnoj grupi.

The novel's form is unusual in that there is no traditional narrative voice, one of the primary features of fiction. It is written in large part as dialogue, without any indication of who is speaking, except for a dash (-) to show a change of speaker. There are also parts of stream of consciousness. What is not written as dialogue or stream of consciousness is written as metafictional government documentation. The conversations between the characters, when not focused on the moment at hand, are recountings of films that Molina has seen, which act as a form of escape from their environment.

Inio Asano - Nijigahara Holograph

This is a single 300-page graphic novel by Inio Asano, the author of What a Wonderful World, City of Light and Solanin.

Suzuki is a troubled boy. He's lived with uncaring foster parents for most of his life, alienated from the other kids at his school, owner of a cynical, unhappy mentality. Komatsuzaki is a violent, unpredictable bully whose head trauma causes him to act in mysterious, inexplicable ways. Arakawa is a no-nonsense, normal girl who pines after Komatsuzaki but can never have him. A teacher with just one working eye. A mother who committed suicide. A daughter in an endless coma. Attempted rapes, murders, extortion, sexual deviance, and a freakish explosion in the butterfly population. All of these elements are whirled together in a story spanning 10 years, a tale of blackness, pain, and apocalypse. And maybe just a bit of hope and redemption. It's a spiritual cross between the misanthropic suburban malevolence of Kyoko Okazaki's Rivers Edge and the eerie mysticality of Donnie Darko.

Kroz satiričku i parodijsku prizmu prelamaju se u romanu Premeštanje uzice (kod nas pogrešno preveden kao Kolevka za macu) ne samo nauka i religija, nego i mnoge ostale kategorije na kojima počiva savremeni svet: seks, mediji, politika. Žanrovsko pokriće u ovom višeslojnom delu, čiji je osnovni ton istovremeno vedar i apokaliptičan, jeste pogubni „led devet“, čija je tačka topljenja znatno viša nego kod običnog leda i koji će u finalu romana dovesti do sasvim primerenog kraja sveta.

Cat's Cradle is the fourth novel by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, first published in 1963. It explores issues of science, technology, and religion, satirizing the arms race and many other targets along the way. After turning down his original thesis, in 1971 the University of Chicago awarded Vonnegut his Master's degree in anthropology for Cat's Cradle.The title of the book derives from the string game "cat's cradle." Early in the book we learn that Felix Hoenikker (a fictional co-inventor of the atom bomb) was playing cat's cradle when the bomb was dropped, and the game is later referenced by his son, Newton Hoenikker.

Paying For It, "a comic strip memoir about being a john", is a graphic novel by award-winning Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown, released by Drawn and Quarterly on May 3, 2011. The book is concerned with Brown's "two competing desires--the desire to have sex, versus the desire to NOT have a girlfriend." Brown's solution to the problem is to forgo traditional boyfriend/girlfriend relationships and marriage and to take up the life of a "john" by frequenting prostitutes. Brown comes to advocate prostitution as superior to the "possesive monogamy" of traditional male-female relations, which he debates with his friends throughout the book, and then presents his views in detail in the 50-page text section, that includes a 23-part appendix and footnotes, which closes the book. Despite being about the separation of sex from romantic love, Brown says, "It is a type of love story."

Poznanstvo sa Antilopom, Tajlanđankom, je sklopljeno preko Internet-porno stranica. Pripovijedač romana, Sniježni, u flešbekovima prepliće vrijeme prije i poslije katastrofe. On je jedini preživjeli čovjek, uz njega borave i Koščeva djeca, “nova nacija”, nastala genetskim inženjeringom. Ta vrsta će naslijediti ljude. Oni imaju promijenjen mozak, bez rušilačkih osobina, koji je prethodinike doveo do takvog stanja. Rasizam kod njih ne postoji, ne bore se za zemlju, a seksualni nagoni su im instinktivni, kao kod sisara. Okruženje u kome stasava nova rasa je apokaliptično: Sunce prejako prži, gradovi su opustjeli, a genetski stvorene nove životinjske vrste poput svinjona i vukopasa lunjaju okolinom. Globalno otopljenje, prenaseljenost zemlje, nedostatak sirovina, svijet velikih korporacija, Internet, hladni ljudski odnosi, mnoge bolesti i virusi, neki su od uzroka takvog stanja. Oryx and Crake is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by the Canadian author Margaret Atwood. Atwood has at times disputed the novel being science fiction, preferring to label it speculative fiction and "adventure romance" because it does not deal with 'things that have not been invented yet' and goes beyond the realism she associates with the novel form.^[3] Oryx and Crake was first published by McClelland and Stewart in 2003 and was also shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction that same year.

Kako god bilo, njen rezultat ostavio je dubok trag u svetskoj naučnoj fantastici. Nekoliko prvih knjiga (romani “Zemlja purpurnih oblaka” iz 1958, “Put u Amalteju” iz 1960, “Stažeri” iz 1962. i zbirka “Šest šibica” iz 1960) slede obrazac Jefremovskog optimističkog puta ljudi u svemir i borbe sa nepovoljnim uslovima na novim planetama.

The tasks of the crew are a) to test the prototype engine in field conditions and b) to locate and set radio beacons on the s.c. "Uranium Golconda" (a place with incredibly large heavy metals deposits), presumably, found somewhere on the second planet of the Solar System. As the crew ventures into the depths of Venus, unknown dangers take them out one by one, so only a half of them returns home after accomplishing the mission - all badly damaged, both physically and mentally. However, their feat was the first milestone in colonizing Venus and the first step into the glorious XXII century.

FILM:

Director:Koen Mortier
Bizarro story surrounding an ex-drummer/writer who has purposely joined a band of slightly handicapped men. His reason is just really for the experience, and to escape his little world. With the personalities and behaviors of these other band-mates, it doesn't take long for our Ex-Drummer to realize it probably wasn't the greatest idea. Ex-Drummer is one hell of a unique flick. With insane conversations, loads of sexual themes (especially homosexuality), some serious violence, and quite possibly the biggest penis ever in a movie, Ex-Drummer succeeds on all types of levels. Even more so, it does great in the acting department as well. Everything production wise, it does with really any faults.

Suehiro Maruo Yume No Q-saku

Maruo graduated from junior high school in March 1972 but dropped out of senior high school. At the age of 15 he moved to Tokyo . Many of Maruo's illustrations depict graphic sex and violence and are therefore referred to as contemporary muzan-e (a subset of Japanese ukiyo-e depicting violence or other atrocities.)

Maruo also has a fascination with human oddities, deformities, birth defects, and "circus freaks." Many such characters figure prominently in his stories and are sometimes the primary subjects of his illustrations.

Nova - Samuel R. Delany

Nova (1968) is a science fiction novel by Samuel R. Delany. Nominally space opera, it explores the politics and culture of a future where cyborg technology is universal, yet major decisions can involve using tarot cards. It has strong mythological overtones, relating to both the Grail Quest and Jason's Argonautica for the golden fleece. Nova was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1969.
By the year 3172, political power in the galaxy is split between two factions: the older Earth-based Draco and the historically younger Pleiades Federation. Both have interests in the even newer Outer Colonies, where mines produce trace amounts of the prized power source Illyrion, the superheavy material essential to starship travel and terraforming planets.

Naked City

Naked City was an avant-garde music group led by saxophonist and composer John Zorn. Active primarily in New York City in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Naked City was initiated by Zorn as a "composition workshop" to test the limits of composition (and improvisation) in a traditional rock band lineup. Its music incorporated recognizable elements of jazz, grindcore, surf music, classical music, heavy metal, country music, punk rock and literally dozens of other music genres.
In Naked City's characteristic early style, songs were often performed at astonishingly fast tempi (drawing heavily on thrash metal and hardcore punk's emphasis on extreme speed). Many songs were quite brief, and typically switched musical genres every few measures, perhaps comparable to spinning a radio dial at random and hearing the same band performing on every station...

Naked City

Naked City was an avant-garde music group from New York City, New York, United States led by saxophonist and composer John Zorn, performed from 1988 to 1993. The ensemble was notable for remaining unconfined to any musical category, juxtaposing unrelated styles of music often within individual compositions at breakneck speed. Its music incorporated recognizable elements of jazz, grindcore, surf, classical, thrash, country music, punk rock and other genres. Carl Stalling has been cited as an influence on Zorn and the work of Naked City.

Mogwai

Mogwai are a band from Glasgow formed in 1995. They compose lengthy, mostly instrumental guitar-based pieces in the style of post-rock, usually focused around the elaboration of a single theme, and are known traditionally for their quiet/loud dynamic, defined bass riffs, and an eminent ambient sound, sometimes dark and sometimes grand. Although frequently referred to as post-rock, the band have revealed in interviews that they despise this categorization, insisting that their sound bears little resemblance to pioneers of the genre, such as Tortoise.
