Title :
I giri dell'orologio neroAuthor: Erickson Steve Publisher: Il Saggiatore Un uomo di nome Marc conduce una barca avanti e indietro tra un'isola e la terraferma per giorni che sembrano durare anni. Si è ripromesso di non mettere più piede sull'isola ma è costretto a farlo quando la persona che ama sparisce. Quest'isola è grigia, avvolta nella nebbia e nel mistero, così come la nascita di Marc, figlio di una donna di nome Dania e di qualcosa di mostruoso e sfuggente. È l'America e sono gli anni trenta quando Banning Jainlight fugge a New York e mette su carta le sue fantasie sessuali. Niente più che un'attività per sbarcare il lunario, ma i suoi racconti pornografici, venduti all'estero, attirano attenzioni particolari: quelle di due misteriosi clienti tedeschi, X e Z. È specialmente Z a sviluppare una torbida ossessione per il personaggio principale dei racconti, Dania; quando si scopre che X e Z rispondono ai nomi di Joseph Goebbels e Adolf Hitler, Banning diventa un dio dall'oscuro potere demiurgico, in grado di mutare gli eventi della Storia per come la conosciamo con la punta delle dita e la sua macchina da scrivere. In "I giri dell'orologio nero" Steve Erickson rivela la coscienza segreta del Novecento. Passione e potere sono gli ingranaggi nascosti di uno spettrale orologio nero in cui il tempo è un fluido viscoso, che ci porta da un'Europa sporca, malsana e piegata dal conflitto alle coste cupe e spettrali dell'America, dove naviga solitario il battello di Marc. La lingua di Erickson si muove nel terreno fangoso dell'ambiguità, dove tutto, come nei sogni e nei deliri, è surreale ma pienamente riconoscibile. Un romanzo in cui la realtà si di € 25,00

Title :
ShadowbahnAuthor: Erickson Steve Publisher: Il Saggiatore A vent'anni dal crollo, d'improvviso riappaiono le Torri Gemelle. Il primo a vederle è Aaron, l'autista di un camion rosso e oro, sul paraurti un adesivo: «Salvate l'America da se stessa». Aaron le scorge dietro una curva della Highway 44, mentre viaggia sulla striscia d'asfalto che taglia l'orizzonte desolato del South Dakota. È lì che le Torri riappaiono, identiche a prima: non a New York, nel cuore di Manhattan, ma a margine del luogo che più di ogni altro rappresenta l'anima randagia degli Stati Uniti. La strada. Migliaia di persone accorrono, attratte dai due megaliti di vetro e cemento apparentemente deserti, e dalla musica che sembrano emanare, una canzone diversa per ciascuno. Più in alto, rinchiuso al novantatreesimo piano della Torre Sud, c'è Jesse Presley, il gemello nato morto di Elvis, ossessionato da una voce che è sua ma non gli appartiene. Quattrocento metri più in basso e mille chilometri più in là, i fratelli Parker e Zema corrono verso le Torri nel buio della notte, inseguiti dal lutto per un padre tenero e folle e dall'assenza di una madre lontana. Le loro storie si uniscono nel malinconico inventario delle voci d'America: "Shadowbahn" è un grande romanzo corale che unisce il canto degli schiavi e quello dei marinai, il canto d'amore e quello del commiato. Fra le Torri Gemelle, collocate sui versanti opposti di un abisso, le vite vere si confondono con le vite possibili e il passato recente converge in un futuro prossimo e abnorme. i fantasmi di JFK, Elvis e Andy Warhol incontrano gli spiriti degli ultimi vent'anni e di oltre un secolo fa, in una comunio € 21,00

Title :
Globalization and WorkAuthor: Williams Steve, Bradley Harriet, Devadason Ranji, Erickson Mark Publisher: Polity Pr This engaging book offers a lively and rigorous synthesis of the varied interconnections between work and globalization. Drawing on relevant sociological insights, and based on extensive, up-to-date research studies of work and employment, it brings together for the first time in a single volume a range of key topics, including: consumption, work and identity in a globalizing world; work and employment in multinationals; international labour standards; trade unions, labour movements and labour conflict under globalization; gender and inequality; migrant labour; transnational mobility; and the organization of work in global factories. Globalization and Work challenges conceptions of globalization as a project orchestrated by governments, multinational companies and international agencies. The authors highlight the importance of integrating a grounded, bottom-up perspective which recognizes that globalization is not just something that happens to working people, thereby revealing the fascinating extent to which workers actively engage in producing globalization. Throughout, the book contains a number of features to deepen understanding, including case study boxes of topical examples from across the globe. Globalization and Work is an essential new book for anyone interested in globalization, the sociology of work and comparative employment relations, especially undergraduate and postgraduate students taking modules on these and related topics. € 40,20

Title :
The Orange Eats CreepsAuthor: Krilanovich Grace, Erickson Steve (INT) Publisher: Two Dollar Radio * National Book Foundation's '5 Under 35' Selection. It's the '90s Pacific Northwest refracted through a dark mirror, where meth and madness hash it out in the woods. . . . A band of hobo vampire junkies roam the blighted landscape?trashing supermarket breakrooms, praying to the altar of Poison Idea and GG Allin at basement rock shows, crashing senior center pancake breakfasts?locked in the thrall of Robitussin trips and their own wild dreams. A girl with drug-induced ESP and an eerie connection to Patty Reed (a young member of the Donner Party who credited her survival to her relationship with a hidden wooden doll), searches for her disappeared foster sister along "The Highway That Eats People," stalked by a conflation of Twin Peaks' "Bob" and the Green River Killer, known as Dactyl. With a scathing voice and penetrating delivery, Grace Krilanovich's The Orange Eats Creeps is one of the most ferocious debut novels in memory. Grace Krilanovich has been a MacDowell colony fellow and a finalist for the Starcherone Prize. € 14,80

Title :
Crime, Punishment, and Mental IllnessAuthor: Erickson Patricia E., Erickson Steven K. Publisher: Rutgers Univ Pr Hundreds of thousands of the inmates who populate the nation's jails and prison systems today are identified as mentally ill. Many experts point to the deinstitutionalization of mental hospitals in the 1960s, which led to more patients living on their own, as the reason for this high rate of incarceration. But this explanation does not justify why our society has chosen to treat these people with punitive measures. In Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness, Patricia E. Erickson and Steven K. Erickson explore how societal beliefs about free will and moral responsibility have shaped current policies and they identify the differences among the goals, ethos, and actions of the legal and health care systems. Drawing on high-profile cases, the authors provide a critical analysis of topics, including legal standards for competency, insanity versus mental illness, sex offenders, psychologically disturbed juveniles, the injury and death rates of mentally ill prisoners due to the inappropriate use of force, the high level of suicide, and the release of mentally ill individuals from jails and prisons who have received little or no treatment. € 29,70

Pictures Showing What Happens on Each Page of Thomas Pynchon's Novel Gravity's RainbowAuthor: Smith Zak, Erickson Steve (INT) Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow (1973), set in an alternative-universe version of World War II, has been called a modern Finnegan's Wake for its challenging language, wild anachronisms, hallucinatory happenings, and fever-dream imagery. With Pictures Showing What Happens on Each Page of Thomas Pynchon's Novel Gravity's Rainbow, artist Zak Smith at once eases and expands readers' experience of the book. A leading exponent of punk-based, DIY art, Smith here presents his most ambitious project to date ? an art book exactly as long as the work it's interpreting: 760 drawings, paintings, photos, and less definable images in 760 pages. Extraordinary tableaux of the detritus of war ? a burned-out Königstiger tank, a melted machine gun ? coexist alongside such phantasmagoric Pynchon inventions as the ?stumbling bird” and ?Girgori the octopus.” Smith has stated his aim to be ?as literal as possible” in interpreting Gravity's Rainbow, but his images are as imaginative and powerfully unique as the prose they honor. € 39,10

Tours Of The Black ClockAuthor: Erickson Steve Publisher: Simon & Schuster Cutting a terrifying path from a Pennsylvania farm to the Europe of the 1930s, Banning Jainlight becomes the private pornographer of the world's most evil man. In a Vienna window, he glimpses the face of a lost erotic dream, and from there travels to the Twentieth Century's darkest corner to confront its shocked and secret conscience. One of Steve Erickson's most acclaimed novels, Tours of the Black Clock crosses the intersections of passion and power and gazes into a clock with no face, where memory is the gravity of time and all the numbers fall like rain. € 17,00

Title :
Days Between StationsAuthor: Erickson Steve Publisher: Simon & Schuster In a world of cataclysm and unraveled time, a young woman's face, a misbegotten childhood in a Parisian brothel, and the fragment of a lost movie masterpiece are the only clues in a man's search for his past. Steve Erickson's Days Between Stations is the stunning, now classic dream-spec of our precarious age -- by turns beautiful and obsessed, haunted and hallucinated, in which lives erotically collide, the past ambushes the future, and forbidden secrets intercut with each other like the frames of a film. € 15,40
