The Iron Whim
The Iron Whim is an intelligent, irreverent, and humorous history of writing culture and technology. It covers the early history and evolution of the typewriter as well as the various attempts over the years to change the keyboard configuration, but it is primarily about the role played by this marvel in the writer's life. Darren Wershler-Henry populates his book with figures as disparate as Bram Stoker, Mark Twain, Franz Kafka, Norman Mailer, Alger Hiss, William Burroughs, J. G. Ballard, Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, Northrop Frye, David Cronenberg, and David Letterman; the soundtrack ranges from the industrial clatter of a newsroom full of Underwoods to the more muted tapping and hum o...
Henry III
Henry III was a determined and dynamic ruler with vision, not the weak and inept king of conventional portrayal
The Tapeworm Foundry, Andor [sic], the Dangerous Prevalence of Imagination
A brilliant list of book proposals, Darren Wershler-Henry's the tapeworm foundry challenges current poetic rules of form and subject matter and turns a seemingly utilitarian handbook for writers into a powerful artistic expression of defiance. Both a recipe book for poets and a critical examination of the recipes we've inherited, this is an eloquent and absurdist long poem on the parasitic nature of all expression and the anxiety of influence.
I am So Ready For Life (Book 2)
I Want to be A Leader, too. As a parent, you are probably concerned about what the new tomorrow looks like for your children amid talk of how technology will fundamentally change the way we live and work. The motivation for this book comes from the simple notion that everything a child needs to know today to prepare for this new tomorrow is already available. The reason they are not exposed to it is that schools have not begun teaching them. This three-book series explains the adult concepts of economics, leadership, and management in ways a child can understand. I taught my daughter Newtons laws of motion when she was just four years old by making her experience it standing in a moving bus....
The Red Room
Darren and his family had just gotten back from their vacation when they received a phone call from Darren's Aunt Matilda. "Darren,” Matilda said, “your Uncle Henry was found dead in the wine cellar. I really need you to come by the mansion and help me straighten out my affairs. You are the only one I can trust with this matter. I hope your family doesn't mind if you come to stay with me for a while until I get this all sorted out." “I will talk it over with my wife tonight, and I don't anticipate any problems,” Darren replied. “Just get some rest, and I'll be there in the morning to start the process." “I feel so much better knowing that you'll be helping me out. I know your Unc...

The Two Eleanors of Henry III
This account of two strong medieval women and their relationship “thoroughly engrosses you in a story hundreds of years past”(Seattle Book Review). Born in 1223, Eleanor of Provence has come to England at the age of twelve to marry the king, Henry III. He’s sixteen years older, but was a boy when he ascended the throne. He’s a kind, sensitive sort whose only personal attachments to women so far have been to his three sisters. The youngest of those sisters is called Eleanor too. She was only nine when, for political reasons, her first marriage took place, but she’s already a chaste twenty-year-old widow when the new queen arrives in 1236. Soon, this Eleanor will marry the rising sta...
Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg
Guy Maddin is Canada's most iconoclastic filmmaker. Through his reinvention of half-forgotten film genres, his remobilization of abandoned techniques from the early history of cinema, and his unique editing style, Maddin has created a critically successful body of work that looks like nothing else in Canadian film. My Winnipeg (2008), which Roger Ebert called one of the ten best films of the first decade of the twenty-first century, has consolidated Maddin's international reputation. In this sixth volume of the Canadian Cinema series, Darren Wershler argues that Maddin's use of techniques and media that fall outside of the normal repertoire of contemporary cinema require us to re-examine what we think we know about the documentary genre and even 'film' itself. Through an exploration of My Winnipeg's major thematic concerns - memory, the cultural archive, and how people and objects circulate through the space of the city - Wershler contends that the result is a film that is psychologically and affectively true without being historically accurate.
