Summary

Wyndham Lewis' Tarr is a groundbreaking modernist novel that pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling. With its fragmented narrative and stream-of-consciousness style, the book offers a unique reading experience that challenges readers to think outside the box. Set in Paris, Tarr follows the lives of a group of bohemian artists as they navigate the complexities of their relationships and the art world. The novel's experimental approach to form and language makes it a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of modernist literature. Lewis' use of vivid imagery and sharp dialogue creates a vibrant portrayal of life in early 20th century Europe. Tarr reflects the author's own experiences as an artist and intellectual, providing readers with a glimpse into the mind of a provocative and innovative thinker. Lewis' deep knowledge of art, politics, and philosophy shines through in this complex and thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend Tarr to aficionados of modernist literature and those looking for a challenging read that will expand their understanding of the genre.

    A daring foray into the groundbreaking genre of autobiographical fiction
 
Sad Old Faggot is the absorbing, sometimes embarrassing, always entertaining story of a lonely, self-obsessed, selfish, deluded, impotent 62-year-old gay man named Sky Gilbert who — despite his best intentions — cannot help but become a stereotype.
 
Sky’s main claim to fame is founding Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in 1979. But since leaving Buddies, he’s fallen on hard times. Sky Gilbert is no longer even remotely famous. He has to fight off his own bitterness as audiences for his plays steadily dwindle. Theatre people dismiss his work as old news and point to the fact that he teaches at the University of Guelph as proof: his descent into academia clearly signals his failure as an artist.
 
All along the way, the book questions our truths and celebrates their mutability. What is really true about each of us? What do we actually know about ourselves? And how much, it asks, of our own personal truth is based on fact — and how much is rooted in fiction?

    Welch’s piercing, intimate, slightly fictionalized, and posthumously published work deals with the bicycle accident that would cause his death thirteen years later  At age twenty, Denton Welch was bicycling from London, where he was studying art, to Surrey to pay a visit to his aunt and uncle when he was struck by a car. The next thing he knew, he was lying on his back, unable to move, gazing up at the sky, scarcely aware of anything but the sensation of grass against the back of his neck and the sound of a voice asking him questions. As he swam in and out of consciousness, nurses, doctors, and relatives came and went, days passed, and he remained bedridden in a hospital ward.   In his characteristic unsparing prose, Welch takes readers through every step of his painful journey toward a partial recovery. Full of unflinching self-scrutiny, A Voice Through a Cloud is an unforgettable work of pain and healing.
