A Senseless and Dark Space New Tear-Jerker describes a stagnant space between voices and sounds of life and dismal silence NEW YORK – “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck,” proclaims Mime in Lawrence J. Corneck’s new screenplay, Mime's the Word . Mime becomes mixed up with a sympathetic priest and a confused, embittered young couple when he finds a baby left to die in a trash can. Mime's the Word follows unsavory, eccentric, ruthless, puzzling and disturbing characters in Corneck’s riveting Game of Life saga. Mime's the Word features the ultimate anti-hero as Mime regresses into the solitude of silence to escape the adversities of a life. Father Warhola becomes drawn into the sudden darkness of Mime’s world. A brutal crime brings Mime and Warhola closer together and strengthen their resolve that there in no escape from life. Zoe Rex is a spoiled rich girl who doesn’t care about the consequences of throwing life away. Her boy toy, Yoshi, is naïve and easily sucked into Zoe’s manipulations. An intense investigation is put underway by Serena Knight, a weary, cynical, relentless detective. What evolves from the investigation can only be seen as senseless and dark, a stagnant space between the voices and sounds of life and dismal silence. Corneck is the author of Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy; Big Cigar, small d**k; FAT FAT Snitch; Geezer Pleaser and Bald Lubavitcher, all part of the same Saga. More screenplays based upon earlier characters, including Bubble Catcher, Asphalt Bungle, B**** Fight at the KO Corral, Spy with the Beautiful Frown and Killing Time as Time Kills will follow. Each screenplay will be written in a different genre: cat and mouse, domestic drama, high adventure, coming of age, comedy, romance, horror, tear-jerker, show biz, caper, western, spy and science fiction.

Nelly Sachs (1891-1970) has long been regarded as one of the most significant Holocaust poets. Her conception of language and words as a landscape has been understood by scholars and critics as an exilic ersatz Heimat for the lost German homeland of a displaced poet. This reading, however, is based entirely on her postwar poems. Such an isolated approach to her complex body of work is increasingly historically problematic; it is also at odds with Sachs's generally cyclical poetic process. In "The Space of Words," Jennifer Hoyer offers the first sustained critical analysis of Sachs's largely unanalyzed prewar poetry and prose, as well as the first analysis that examines structural and thematic ties between the prewar works and the Nobel Prize-winning postwar poetry. Through close readings of both Sachs's prewar and postwar works, Hoyer reveals a diasporic rather than exilic conception of the landscape of language, a position of constant wandering rather than static longing for return. This diasporic poetics promotes the intellectual and linguistic power of the wanderer and opens new insights into Sachs's essential significance as a Holocaust poet and a twentieth-century German-Jewish writer wary of the link of literary language to geopolitics and the narrative of nations. Jennifer M. Hoyer is Assistant Professor of German at the University of Arkansas.

Remembered Words is a selection of Alastair Fowler's essays on genre, realism, and the emblem (three interrelated subjects), published over six decades. It offers readers a way to arrive at a sense of how approaches to these subjects have changed over that period. Specifically, it shows how genre has come to be understood in terms of family resemblance theory. Remembered Words argues that realism can be seen as altering historically, so that Renaissance realism, for example, differs from those of later periods. Similar changes are traced in the emblem, which Fowler shows to be not only a particular genre, but an element of various kinds of realism. Famous passages in ancient literature are remembered in the familiar emblems of the Renaissance; and Renaissance emblems form the basis of metaphors in later literature. Meanwhile, the general approach of the critic and the reader has been altering over the years--as becomes evident when one takes into account the time-scale of sixty years (an unusually long working life for a critic). Modern theoretical approaches--which are often casually regarded as self-evident--may appear less inevitable and more arbitrary. This is not to say that they are necessarily wrong, just that they need to be argued for. Remembered Words is intended for senior undergraduates and for graduate students, who may use it to form ideas of Fowler's approach and that of his contemporaries and predecessors over the last half century.

"In my 30 years of performing professionally...I have not spoken a single word as an actor, nor have I had the urge to do so." So writes international mime theater artist & teacher, Stefan Niedzialkowski, in this inside look at the mental & physical ingredients of an art form that communicates beyond the word. Marcel Marceau writes in the foreword: "His words about mime...will be of interest to anyone who cares about mime, & they will be very important to young students. BEYOND THE WORD will guide those who are interested in...(the) creative process, as artist or as teacher." A must for mime artists, for dancers & actors who wish to delve more deeply into the art of movement. "The approach is subtle, nuanced & sensitive, as befits the poetic art of mime. The secrets & mysteries of mime are suggested rather than explained through the use of analogies & anecdotes. The personality of the artist delicately colors the presentation..."--Daniel Gerould, Professor at City University of New York. Available from Momentum Books, 6964 Crooks Rd., Ste. 1, Troy, MI 48098; 800/758-1870.
