"you start every new day with an inventory: a moth, a cape, a parachute, a coffin, a gun, the wall you built to mount the gun." On the Subject of Fallen Things is an addictive, Chekhovian metanarrative: phenomenological, absurd, and dripping with black humour. James Kearns' speaker keeps company with Lazarus, an inept psychic, and a deceased superhero, but finds himself increasingly alone—lost in dialogue with mortality, both personal and anthropological. Permanence, culpability, the function and corruption of human storytelling: all come into play in a surge of momentum that grips the reader, even as it breaks apart: a lean explosion, a gunshot in the distance. "On the Subject of Fallen Things weaves whimsy into narrative epiphanies that you never see coming. Each line aggregating weight like the lightness of snowflakes gathering into an avalanche. Hugely enjoyable. Get it now." Roger Robinson, A Portable Paradise, Winner of the 2019 T.S. Eliot Prize "This is a really brilliant sequence of poems. Like Ponge, or Herbert, or Steger, or Simic, it manages to be both serious and fleeting, weighty and funny. It's hopeful, actually." S.J. Fowler, 3:AM MagazineVer libro

He forms an unlikely partnership with Alfredo Linguini, a clumsy young man working as a garbage boy at Gusteau’s restaurant. Together, they navigate the challenges of the culinary world, blending Remy’s culinary genius with Linguini’s ability to pass as a talented chef. The film explores themes of following one's dreams, defying expectations, and the power of teamwork. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Pet rats were kept at the studio in the hallway for more than a year so that the animators could study the movement of their fur, noses, ears, paws, and tails.” “Marketing tie-ins proved to be problematic for this movie, as no food product company wanted to be associated with a rat.” “In France, where this movie is set, the movie broke the record for the biggest debut for an animated movie.” “Remy (Patton Oswalt) has 1.15 million hairs rendered, whereas Colette (Janeane Garofalo) has 115,000 hairs rendered. An average person has about 110,000 hairs.”Ver libro
