On Looking Into the Abyss: Untimely Thoughts on Culture and Society

3 reviews
Gertrude Himmelfarb

Vintage, 1995

Acadummies Explained
Himmelfarb's observations on post-modern 'history' are right on target. The apologists for the Holocaust (revisionism is always apologetics) in academia are hideously indifferent to the greatest devastation and assault on humanity ever known. I had to laugh at the post-modern historian's lament about the 'fact fettish' of traditional historians. This book may be considered the starting ...

My Untimely Death
Adam Peterson

Subito Press, 2008

_My Untimely Death_ is a collection of short prose pieces about a series of touching but absurd deaths. Death here doesn't simply mean the expiration of life, but a meandering through metaphors, similes, explanations, often hilarious, always poetic and spot-on in their language choice.

One of the most renowned Soviet writers of the twentieth century, Maxim Gorky was an early supporter of the Bolsheviks who became disillusioned with the turn of events after the 1917 revolution.

Nietzsche: Untimely Meditations (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)

5 reviews
Friedrich Nietzsche

Cambridge University Press, 1997

Unfashionable Observations
Nietzsche wrote "David Strauss, the Confessor and the Writer" in 1873, the first of his Unfashionable Observations, at the behest of Richard Wagner. David Strauss was an eminent theologian, whose The Life of Jesus Critically Examined (1864) had had a tremendous impact due to its demystification of Jesus' life. Strauss had contended that the supernatural claims made about the historical Jesus ...

Highly recommended.
One Untimely Born: The Life And Ministry Of The Apostle Paul by Christian scholar and pastor Robert L. Cate is the biography of the life and ministry of the apostle Paul, reconstructed from the earliest Biblical texts, archaeological discoveries, and histories of the period.

Untimely Beggar: Poverty and Power from Baudelaire to Benjamin
Patrick Greaney

Univ Of Minnesota Press, 2008

This highly original book takes as its starting point a central question for nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and philosophy: how to represent the poor? Covering the period from the publication of Les Fleurs du Mal in 1857 to the composition of Benjamin’s final texts in the 1930s, Untimely Beggar investigates the coincidence of two modern literary and philosophical interests: representing the poor and representing ...

In the Event of My Untimely Demise: Twenty Things My Son Needs to Know

7 reviews
Brian Sack

HarperOne, 2008

This book makes me giggle in bed.
For the past few nights, I've annoyed my husband by busting out laughing while reading this book. Brian is a funny writer with a clever book that's more memoir than advice book, though I will save mine for my boys for when they're old enough to read about Irish pubs and French stalkers.

Where They Ain't: The Fabled Life and Untimely Death of the Original Baltimore Orioles, the Team That Gave ...

Main Street Books, 2000

Bud Selig's Playbook
I used to avoid books about 19th century baseball, fearing that I'd find the game too unfamiliar to the one I grew up with. The rules were often different, the style of play was different, and you couldn't watch it on ESPN Classic. "Where They Ain't", however, is one of the better baseball books I've read. Ostensibly about the old Baltimore Orioles of the National League in the 1890s, this book ...

The Untimely Present: Postdictatorial Latin American Fiction and the Task of Mourning (Post-Contemporary ...
Idelber Avelar

Duke University Press, 1999

The Untimely Present examines the fiction produced in the aftermath of the recent Latin American dictatorships, particularly those in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Idelber Avelar argues that through their legacy of social trauma and obliteration of history, these military regimes gave rise to unique and revealing practices of mourning that pervade the literature of this region. The theory of postdictatorial writing developed here is informed by ...

Untimely Politics (Taking on the Political)
Samuel Chambers

NYU Press, 2003

"[T]he richness of his analysis, [...] his poststrucuralist emphasis on genealogy, historicity, temporality, and discourse can supplement the sometimes arid terms of the agency/structure debate. [...] An invitation to readers who might not normally turn to Continental theory for methodological inspiration, to learn from Chamber's splendid, and, yesy, timely volume." —Diana Coole, Queen Mary University of London , from a book review in the ...

The Nick of Time: Politics, Evolution, and the Untimely

1 review
Elizabeth Grosz

Duke University Press, 2004

A good piece of work with more potential
I first became interested in this book after seeing it in a bookshop. Having read some Darwin and a fair bit of Bergson I was interested. It is rare indeed nowadays to see any work at all on the concept of time in any other form than the typical linear classical physics/relativity idea. This posits time as something that either acts as a medium through which matter moves or in the case of ...
