Book Description

What is hidden in the taste of a madeleine cookie-or in snatches of Bob Dylan songs, operatic arias, and the remembered sting of a rattan cane? An exploration of memory, Going Down for Air artfully combines two very different yet connected texts. A Memoir is richly evocative not only of times past, but also of a very English, imperial, queerly masculine subjectivity, caught on the cusp of the extinction of the world in and of which it made sense. Derek Sayer's allusive writing succeeds as few have done before in capturing the leaps and bounds of memory itself. Rich in its detail, unstinting in its honesty, this beautifully written memoir is a considerable literary achievement. The memoir is complemented by Sayer's provocative theoretical essay on memory and social identity. Drawing on linguistic and psychoanalytic theory, photographic images, and literary texts, In Search of a Subject argues that it is memory above all that maintains the imagined identities upon which society rests.

A provocative and addictive read, with surprising insights.......2006-02-26

I thought reality TV would be a fad for a season or two -- boy, was I wrong. When I tune into The Apprentice or American Idol, I am faced the immense and lasting allure, but also the banality, of these shows: we want to see how other people behave, think, deal with success and embarrassment, how they make love and how they fail. What disappoints me about these shows is that, except in rare moments, we rarely actually get to see this. What we see, instead, are real people acting out plot lines as tired as old sitcoms and presenting themselves as flat, stereotypical characters--much less interesting than they real people (whom I presume) they are.

Derek Sayer's Going Down for Air presents, in all its voyeuristic glory, the memories of a middle-aged, heterosexual English university professor. Sound boring? It's not. Sayer digs deep, and looks at his life and past squarely in the eye, and in doing so, he ends up asking the enthralling, sometimes disturbing question of how much we can ever know about ourselves, how we remember and forget. My favorite images in the book include a five-year old Sayer on his tricycle, unwittingly causing what might have been a fatal motorcycle accident, unabashedly homoerotic memories of being caned as a schoolboy, and a stark recollection of a hospital visit to Sayer's aging father--a hilarious and malicious character--that is ironic and deeply touching. This is reality TV better than as seen on television.

The book is in two parts, with the memoir followed by a more conventional and scholarly essay exploring the processes and functions of memory. While not as thoroughly engrossing and addictive a read as the memoir, Sayer deftly incorporates the viewpoints of philosophers, sociologists, psychoanalysts, writers and artists from Durkheim and Lacan to Baudelaire and Edward Hopper into an argument about why we can't take our personal and collective memories for granted.

The whole book is illustrated with Sayer's own pleasing and provocative photographs of places around the world and from his childhood, which would form a striking photo-essay in themselves but here go a long way in bringing both texts to life in a manner which is distinctly Sayer's own, highly personal, ironic and communicative.

Book Description

This translation of Marcel Dietschy's landmark biography of Claude Debussy makes a wealth of information available for the first time in English. Hailed upon publication as one of the most "authoritative" biographies of the composer and "an invaluable and reliable source of reference," this
book offers many previously unpublished facts about the composer and his work. With painstaking attention to detail, Dietschy unearths documents about everyone connected with Debussy--in particular, much hitherto unknown information on the composer's family--producing the most accurate account to
date of Debussy's life. Seamlessly weaving a clear, jargon-free assessment of Debussy's musical works with an unparalleled account of his life, Dietschy offers a deeply sensitive and sympathetic approach which yields many fresh insights into Debussy's complex personality.
In rendering their beautiful translation of this now classic biography, William Ashbrook and Margaret G. Cobb have been able to make a number of corrections, including Dietschy's own list of Errata, not incorporated into the original French edition, La Passion de Claude Debussy (1962). They have
also updated the Bibliography and List of Works, and have been able to include information about recently discovered manuscripts.
An essential addition to the library of all concert-goers and music lovers, A Portrait of Claude Debussy offers new insights into the life and work of one of the greatest of the nineteenth century French composers.
