In addition, "Zen Training " goes beyond the first flashes of enlightenment to explore how one lives as well as trains in Zen. The author also draws many significant parallels between Zen and Western philosophy and psychology, comparing traditional Zen concepts with the theories of being and cognition of such thinkers as Heidegger and Husserl.

The name Dessaintes is one to reckon with. A bombastic, violent and increasingly dangerous clan, little do they know that their downfall is being chronicled by one of their own. This is La Reunion in the 1980s: high unemployment and low expectations, the legacy of postcolonialism. One little girl makes a bid for escape from her sadistic parents' reign of terror and turns to school for salvation. Rich in the history of the island's customs and superstitions, and driven by a wild, offbeat humour, this picaresque tale manages to satirize the very notion of freedom available in this French territory, and perhaps even the act of writing itself and where it might lead you. 'A novel that is as beautiful as it is brutal. Life in La Reunion is described in brilliantly vivid, unflinching, and at times, humorous prose. This is a story that will transport you across the world with its incredible narrator, characters and places, but despite the distance, our narrator does what great voices do: whispers, we are all the same.' Kevin Curran, author of Youth 'Vivacious and mordantly funny, the tragicomic voice of There's a Monster Behind the Door is forensically and brilliantly merciless.' Wendy Erskine 'Harsh, hilarious, spine chilling and heart warming - an unmissable French debut.' Michelle Gallen 'A tour-de-force as volcanic as the little island of La Reunion, a tiny sliver of France marooned in the Indian Ocean, "a heap of rubble on the edge of the world". The narrator of Gaelle Belem's novel, a little girl no-one wanted, the unloved daughter of the Dessaintes, is determined to be someone, to tell the story of her family, and through them the story of an island founded on slavery, poverty, cruelty and superstition with a caustic wit and a keen eye. It is a tragi-comedy worthy of Zola, candid and unflinching, yet shot through with humour and poignancy and even a glimmer of hope. Belem's novel is a joyous discovery and in Laetitia Saint-Loubert and Karen Fleetwood she has found translators alert to the nuances of French and Creole and to the poetry threaded through this startling debut.' Frank Wynne, translator, 2022 International Booker Prize - chair of the judges Autorid: Gaelle Belem, Karen Fleetwood, Laetitia Saint-Loubert

Ian Burn ist sehr vielfältig charakterisiert worden: als Aktivist, Gewerkschafter, Journalist, Kunstkritiker, Kurator und Kunsthistoriker - und, wie er sich selbst einmal mit Selbstironie beschrieb, als "Ex-Konzeptkünstler". Dieser Katalog versammelt einige seiner Schriften, die einen forschenden und analytischen Künstler offenbaren, der sich der Sprache widmete, um die Notwendigkeit des "Sehens und Lesens" zu vermitteln, der angesichts des Neoliberalismus eine marxistische Politik propagierte und der versuchte, die Ränder der Landschaftsmalerei zu besetzen und zu verändern. Die Publikation stellt bisher unveröffentlichtes Material zusammen. Es bietet ein vorausschauendes Überdenken der Kunst in einer dezentrierten Welt durch das, was Burn "peripheres Sehen" nannte.Text: Paul Wood, Allan Sekula, Mel Ramsden and Art & Language.
