Rebecca's Secrets
What happens when a boy starts asking questions? It's New Year's day, 1956, and as the low winter sun penetrates the dark corners of Eric Street, it sets fire to a boy's curiosity. "Until this day I'd lived unaware. I didn't live my life - it lived me. But I did know I was different from other kids. There was something secret about me and my family. That morning I became curious. That day I started asking questions." Charming, funny and sad, this novel is based on a true story. Tommy Angel is an orphan growing up with his grandparents, Rebecca and Daniel, in the East End of London in the Fifties. Tommy tries to make sense of the world around him but his questions arouse shameful memories, stir the family ghosts and open a box of dark family secrets. Gradually he uncovers the truth about his lost sisters, his real father and mother. The author, a distinguished educator, born in 1945, grew up in an extended Jewish family in the East End of London. This debut novel is based on his childhood.

Strahlen sehen
Mit der Entdeckung von Radioaktivität und Röntgenstrahlung sowie Einsteins Lichtquantenhypothese formiert sich um 1900 eine „Ästhetik des Emanativen“, die auf die wissenschaftliche Wende hin zum Unsichtbaren reagiert. Deren sprach- wie wahrnehmungstheoretische Konsequenzen lassen sich bis in die gegenwärtige Wissenschaftskommunikation nachweisen.0Der vorliegende Sammelband „Strahlen sehen – zu einer Ästhetik des Emanativen“ beleuchtet die Genese dieses bisher wenig beachteten Epistems aus einer transdisziplinären Perspektive. Markante Etappen der Geschichte des Emanationsbegriffs und seiner Strahlen-Metaphorik in Literatur, Philosophie und den Naturwissenschaften werden vor dem Horizont aktueller Debatten über ästhetische Präsenzeffekte betrachtet:0Der Zusammenhang einer Poetik der Emanation mit einer Rhetorik der Macht steht dabei ebenso im Fokus des Erkenntnisinteresses wie die Imprägnierung ästhetischer Prozesse durch naturwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse. Von der mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Mystik bis hin zur Wiener Moderne um 1900 und ihrer gegenwärtigen Resonanz wird der kunst- und kulturhistorische Bogen gespannt.
Another Rebecca
Rebecca Grey can't shake off the hallucination she had while in hospital, but her alcoholic mother Bex is too wrapped up in the 'Great Grief' of her youth to notice her daughter's struggles to define dream from reality. After lurching from one poverty-stricken situation to another, and ghosts from the past are disturbed, Rebecca's dream comes alive. Why does the old woman who left them a sudden inheritance believe she is Rebecca's grandmother, and why did Bex swear to stop living when she was only nineteen? The setting of the novel transitions between the flat seascape of Skegness, the fields of Lincolnshire, the mountains of Ireland and the rolling hills of Leicestershire. Another Rebecca is a family story of secrets, interdependency and obsessive love.
