Excerpt: Mircea Nedelciu (Romanian pronunciation: ; November 12, 1950 July 12, 1999) was a Romanian short-story writer, novelist, essayist and literary critic, one of the leading exponents of the Optzeciti generation in Romanian letters. The author of experimental prose, mixing elements of conventional narratives with autofiction, textuality, intertextuality and, in some cases, fantasy, he placed his work at the meeting point between Postmodernism and a minimalist form of Neorealism. This approach is illustrated by his volumes of stories and his novels Zmeura de cîmpie ("Raspberry of the Field"), Tratament fabulatoriu ("Confambulatory Treatment"), and by Femeia în rou ("The Woman in Red"), a collaborative fiction piece written together with Adriana Babei and Mircea Mihie. A follower of trends in avant-garde literature of the 1960s and '70s, Nedelciu co-founded the literary circle Noii ("The New Ones") with Gheorghe Crciun, Gheorghe Ene, Ioan Flora, Gheorghe Iova, Ioan Lcust, Emil Paraschivoiu, Sorin Preda and Constantin Stan. His integration as an authoritative voice on the Postmodern scene, inaugurated by his presence in the Desant '83 anthology, was complimented by his free-minded attitude and drifter lifestyle. Although Nedelciu's political nonconformism pitted him against the repressive communist system on several occasions, he stood out on the literary scene for adapting to some communist requirements in order to get his message across. This tendency made Nedelciu the target of controversy. The final years of Mirce...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23407882 ... Read more

Excerpt: Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk (pronounced ; born February 21, 1962) is an American transgressional fiction novelist and freelance journalist. He is best known for the award-winning novel Fight Club, which was later made into a film directed by David Fincher. He lives near Vancouver, Washington. Palahniuk was born in Pasco, Washington. He is the son of Carol and Fred Palahniuk, and grew up living in a mobile home in nearby Burbank, Washington with his family. His parents later separated and divorced, often leaving him and his three siblings to live with their grandparents at their cattle ranch in Eastern Washington. His grandfather (father's father) was Ukrainian who migrated to New York through Canada in 1907.. In his twenties, Palahniuk attended the University of Oregon's School of Journalism, graduating in 1986. While attending college he worked as an intern for National Public Radio member station KLCC in Eugene, Oregon. He moved to Portland soon afterwards. After writing for the local newspaper for a short while, he began working for Freightliner as a diesel mechanic, continuing in that job until his writing career took off. During that time, he also wrote manuals on fixing trucks and had a stint as a journalist (a job he did not return to until after he became a successful novelist). After casually attending a free, introductory seminar held by an organization called Landmark Education, Palahniuk quit his job as a journalist in 1988. Palahniuk did volunteer work for a homeless shelter; later, he also volunteered at a hospice as an escort; he provided transportation for termin...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=63969 ... Read more

Il a depuis essaimé ses thématiques dans de nombreux média, notamment dans la bande dessinée, le cinéma, la musique, les jeux vidéo et les jeux de rôle. - Bruce Sterling Cyperpunk-Art Le terme « Cyberpunk » résulte d'une association de « cyber » (du grec ancien kubérnètès : l'art de gouverner ou de piloter à l'origine du mot cybernétique.) et « punk ». Le mot « Cyberpunk » lui-même a été popularisé par Gardner Dozois, éditeur réputé du Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. C'est le 30 décembre 1984, dans le Washington Post, qu'un article de Dozois intitulé « SF in the Eighties » qualifie de «cyberpunk» le style de l'œuvre de l'écrivain William Gibson, et plus particulièrement de son roman Neuromancien (1984). Il décrivait aussi tout un groupe de jeunes auteurs « bizarres » écrivant dans le fanzine Cheap Truth : Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, Lewis Shiner , Pat Cadigan et Greg Bear. Le « mouvement » cyberpunk était né. Le terme avait cependant été employé plus tôt, en novembre 1983, par l'écrivain américain Bruce Bethke, comme titre d'une de ses nouvelles publiée en novembre 1983 dans le magazine Amazing Science Fiction Stories. Le « Cyberpunk » est un con...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
