Eden Eden Eden
Eden Eden Eden is Pierre Guyotat's legendary novel of atrocity and obscenity. It is a masterpiece of literary innovation, which is taught on numerous university courses. In Guyotat's native France, the novel is highly esteemed, being hailed as 'a new landmark and starting-point for new writing' by the renowned philosopher Roland Barthes, who also writes the novel's preface.

Die reichsunmittelbare Grafschaft Diepholz im 16. Jahrhundert
Die Edelherren von Diepholz gehörten zu den ältesten sächsischen Adelsgeschlechtern und stammten ursprünglich aus dem Raum Midlum und Drebber Etwa ab 1500 nannten sie sich wegen Ansprüchen im Gelderland Grafen von Diepholz und Brunckhorst, Herren von Borkelo. Um das Allodium Diepholz und Lemförde gegen die expansive Politik des Hochstiftes Minden zu behauten, konnten sie im Jahr 1512 ihr Allodium in ein Reichslehen umwandeln, das vom Reich als »Lehensrenovation« erteilt wurde. Verschiedene Auseinandersetzungen zwangen sie, den Herzögen von Braunschweig-Lüneburg eine Anwartschaft auf das Reichslehen Grafschaft Diepholz einzuräumen. Im 16. Jahrhundert waren die Diepholzer Grafen Fri...
I Wished
“I started writing books about and for my friend George Miles because whenever I would speak about him honestly like I am doing now I felt a complicated agony beneath my words that talking openly can’t handle.” For most of his life, Dennis Cooper believed the person he had loved the most and would always love above all others was George Miles. In his first novel in ten years, Dennis Cooper writes about George Miles, love, loss, addiction, suicide, and how fiction can capture these things, and how it fails to capture them. Candid and powerful, I Wished is a radical work of shifting forms. It includes appearances by Santa Claus, land artist James Turrell, sentient prairie dogs, John Wayne Gacy, Nick Drake, and George, the muse for Cooper’s acclaimed novels Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide, and Period, collectively known as “The George Miles Cycle.” In revisiting the inspiration for the Cycle, Dennis has written a masterwork: the most raw, personal, and haunted book of his career.
