Is a self-portrait of an artist a medium of reflection? Or is it merely a black void, the "false mirror", as the Surrealist René Magritte entitled his 1928 painting of an eye? How much does it impart ... |

The New York Times bestseller from the Grammy-nominated indie rockstar "Japanese Breakfast", an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity in the wake of her loss, which brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

"Тази книга има пулс. Жива е, пътува през географиите на телата, по посоките на душите, след стрелките по гарите, в сезоните на сърцата ни. Спира се на някоя улица в Париж, пресича Сена, лети със самолет, пуска хартиени лодки, свързва дъждовните площади със западния бряг и Женския пазар, пътува през времето по реката на Сидхарта... Остра е като систола - пуска бримки по пуловерите, с които обличаме премръзналите си чувства и по чаршафите, под които крием греховете и истините си. Дълбока е като диастола, като пропадане в осъзнаването, че нищо не е вечно, най-малко биенето на сърцето и като дланта, в която лежат ... |

Gigantic in scale, they are always temporary, created to exist only for a limited time and to leave unique, unrepeatable impressions. From the smallest of the Packages made in Paris in the early 1960s, to the delicate pattern of hundreds of branches embraced by a translucent fabric veil... in Christo and Jeanne-Claude's works there is nothing abstract, nothing imagined; it is all there - corporeal and tangible." Lorenza Giovanelli Part biography, ... |
