Literary Nonfiction. Biography and Memoir. PART 10 is the final installment of the Grand Piano "experiment." This volume draws some of its themes from experimental music, current Amercian politics, newspaper headlines, and an array of influnces (Kathy Acker, Lorenzo Thomas, Laura (Riding) Jackson, Robert Grenier, Larry Eigner, Clark Coolidge). At the same time, almost all the pieces of the ending volume make some kind of return to the complicated impulses that initally launched the autobiography, resistance to autobiography, writing, language-as-such, memory, time, and especially the rich historical meeting point of these ten authors in the Bay Area literary scene(s) of the 1970s.
Ron Silliman Knihy
Ron Silliman je priekopníckym hlasom v súčasnej americkej poézii, známym svojimi ambicióznymi, rozsiahlymi dielami, ktoré skúmajú priesečníky jazyka, skúsenosti a všednosti. Jeho tvorba často spochybňuje konvenčné predstavy o naratíve a básnickej štruktúre, uprednostňujúc plynulejší a asociatívnejší prístup. Prostredníctvom dôkladného pozorovania a osobitého lyrického štýlu Sillimanove básne ponárajú do zložitostí vedomia a štruktúry každodenného života. Jeho oddanosť radikálnym experimentom upevnila jeho povesť významnej postavy experimentálnej literatúry.
