Descriere: "Jurnal de bancher pe drumuri" este o carte care s-a nascut in timp, pe un blackberry, in calatoriile autorului. Desi nu se considera scriitor in adevaratul sens al cuvantului, bancherului nu-i lipsesc talentul, umorul sau pofta de a umbla prin lume. Daca "Ioana" este cea care ii face bagajul pentru a-i arata "cat de grozav e sa calatoresti," prietenii ii cer prin sms-uri noi pagini de jurnal, iar editorul - un material "cu diacritice." Aceasta este, pe scurt, povestea jurnalului. SCRII CU INTELIGENTA SI CU HAZ. "Scrii voluptuos despre o viata a ta ce are gust, miros, textura. Ai un scris ce cam da chef de trait, de iubit, de hoinarit si de visat. Miros de aer tare, plin de viata. Scrii tandru, scrii impacat. Mai scrie. As mai vrea sa citesc. Am terminat de citit si zambeam..." -OANA PELLEA CARE-I FAZA CU BANCHERUL? Daca reporterul Aristide Buhoiu avea succes pe vremuri cu emisiunea Drumuri prin memorie, bancherul nostru ar trebui sa fie citit de toti cei care n-au mai apucat-o. Care-i faza cu bancherul? Nu va ginditi la cine stie ce incostumat la paispe ace care se da destept scriind despre intilniri cu celebritati ale bancnotei verzi si ale neoliberalismului anything goes. Omul e familist, e la locul lui, excursiile pe care le povesteste nu-s nici tripuri gen alba-ca-zapada-in-nari, nici plimbari prin paduri narative care fac parada de constiinta auctoriala: "fara sex, dar si fara cearta." Sigur, nu-i poti cere bancherului sa fie altermondialist cu totul, sa nu se duca la ski in Austria sau sa fuga de Monte Carlo. Dar skiul austriac e doar o intilnire frugala cu o stare de agregare metafizica a naturii, iar stincile monegasce sunt parcurse cu autobuzul de la Nisa, pentru care biletul e 1 euro (atentie, de anul asta, e 1,50! - am fost si eu). De departe, insa, cea mai interesanta parte a cartii este cea dedicata saptaminii petrecute profesional la Universitatea Berkley, California, unde omul face un curs de, sa-i zicem, fiziognomonie (mai precis: cum sa interpretezi chipurile, cu mimica, expresivitatea lor). N-o sa fiu spoiler, n-o s-o dau in git pe americanca purista care paraseste grupul in care naratorul isi aprinde nevinovat o tigara, n-o sa va spun cum e cu botoxul care ne dezumanizeaza si ne intinereste totodata. Jurnalul de California trebuie citit de oricine vrea sa stie din America mai mult decat a aflat din ultimul blockbuster. (...) -ALEXANDRU MATEI, OBSERVATORUL CULTURAL

Twelve Stories by American Women
3,A collection of twelve essential short stories by iconic American women writers that introduces a more diverse canon and emphasizes non-white and queer writers to better represent the experiences of all American women and to understand the importance of the short story for women A Penguin Classic One of The Millions' Winter Most Anticipated. "Zibrak curates a dozen short stories by women writers who have long been left out of American literary canon--most of them women of color--from Frances Ellen Watkins Harper to Zitkala-Sa." - The Millions When Four Stories by American Women was first published by Penguin Classics in 1990, it understandably reflected the second-wave feminist interpretations of that time--a period marked by an impressive recovery of what were then considered to be minor American writers. Since then, the four white women writers included in the volume--Rebecca Harding Davis, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Edith Wharton--have become canonical figures, and scholars have grown to see their work as only a small part of the rich tapestry of American women's lives, values, and political beliefs in the fertile period of late nineteenth century and ...
