The Living Moment
In the spirit of Lionel Trilling, Edmund Wilson, and Susan Sontag, the renowned literary critic Jeffrey Hart writes The Living Moment, a close reading of literature as it intersects with the political. Hart’s book is an even-handed guide for anyone toddling into the mists of the modernist moment, effortlessly moving between such modernist monuments as Eliot’s “The Waste Land,” Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, Mann’s Doctor Faustus, and Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Hart’s most stunning achievement is his brilliant inclusion of Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead as a modernist text, for the way the novel teaches us to see more, to hear more, to feel more. Hart’s dazzling study is an examination of important works of literature as they explore the experience of living in a broken world with thought and sometimes with examples of resolve that possess permanent validity. The Living Moment is for anyone who is wearied by so much of today’s trendy, narrow, and ideologically driven criticism. !--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /--

Wabi Sabi
DESCRIPTION The term wabi-sabi indicates impermanence, humility, asymmetry, and imperfection. Such underlying principles are diametrically opposed to those of their Western counterparts, whose beliefs are grounded in a Hellenic ethos that emphasizes longevity, grandeur, harmony and beauty. Wabi-sabi is a core element of Japanese people's aesthetic sense and gentle nature. It's a belief system that guides the way they live life, though it's rarely talked about. The presence is everywhere and yet it can be seen nowhere. People intuitively know what the wabi-sabi concept stands for, but few can express that. Wabi-sabi is a mysterious enigma that aims to whisper important insight to those who ar...
