The Making of a Counter-culture Icon

At first glance, the works of Fedor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) do not appear to have much in common with those of the controversial American writer Henry Miller (1891-1980). However, the influencer of Dostoevsky on Miller was, in fact, enormous and shaped the latter's view of the world, of literature, and of his own writing. The Making of a Counter-Culture Icon examines the obsession that Miller and his contemporaries, the so-called Villa Seurat circle, had with Dostoevsky, and the impact that this obsession had on their own work.

Lawrence Durrell's Major Novels, Or, The Kingdom of the Imagination

Through his use of Gnostic beliefs, Durrell destabilizes our notions of the "real" and suggests that the civilization to emerge out of the ruins of a devastated Europe will not be Christian, but Quincunxial. Durrell's aesthetic and thematic concerns establish him as a significant, indeed central, voice in twentieth-century British literature. His career, which spans over five decades, links the British High Modernists with the Postmodernists.

Across the Waters of Remembrance

This book is the capstone of the ministry of Herbert E. Hudson IV from 1959 to 2020—literally a span of six decades. The sermons are grouped into three periods. Sermons given in Utica tend to be more academic and are termed “The Dawning of Awareness.” Sermons given at Central Square, a time of personal growth and change, are considered as “A Soul in Transition.” Finally, sermons in Key Largo reflect more certainty and trust in life and are referred to as “A Seasoned Spirit.” The balance of this handbook includes readings, prayers, invocations, benedictions, and special services for weddings, christenings, and memorials.
