Green Integer News

What's New?

For several years now our webmaster has been the noted web designer and computer wizard, Laura Wilber, living and working in Paris. As a mother of two young children and a full time employee, Laura has found it more and more difficult to give us her full energies. Accordingly, Green Integer has sought a new webmaster, and has found a wonderful and energetic helper in Pablo Capra, who has been working as a part-time proofreader for the press. We will miss Laura's great knowledge and skill, but we look forward to a good working and close relationship with Pablo.

Our first effort is to update all the titles. There have been eight new titles published since we were last able to revise our site. Those titles are all listed below and are available for purchase.

We also plan numerous updates and changes to other aspects of our website as well, including the eventual deletion of our PIP Poetries list that has been replaced by our PIP Poetry blog (http://pippoetry.blogspot.com) and the removal of the selections from my cultural memoirs, My Year, which now appear at regular intervals on my other blogs:
http://greeninteger.blogspot.com
http://exploringfictions.blogspot.com
http://americanculturaltreasures.blogspot.com
and http://ustheater.blogspot.com
I invite you to regularly visit these six blogspots which offer different perspectives and related information to Green Integer books and activities.

In the news: we are proud to announce that translator Paul Vangelisti has been awarded the 2010 Italian Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Book Award by The Academy of American Poets for his translation our book, Adriano Spatola's The Position of Things.

In the following weeks we hope to add several new features to our website, including an updating of relevant reviews of our titles and notifications of books out of stock and announcements of reprints. We also hope to connect our website more thoroughly with our various blogs in order to help provide information on our publications and those of others.

Metropolis Vienna

Peter Rosei

Peter Rosei's prose has been compared to that of Franz Kafka, and in 1993 he was awarded the Franz-Kafka Prize. Rosei's novel concerns the great Austrian city after World War II. His characters, caught up in a society of avoidance, pick up existence as if the War had not occurred, attempting to ignore or outrun their terrible past in a rush for money and success.

When a Poet Sees a Chestnut Tree

Jean-Pierre Rosnay

At 16, Jean-Pierre Rosnay joined the French Resistance, operating under the code name Bébé. He took an assignment to assassinate Klaus Barbie in 1943, but was arrested and confined in the infamous prison at I'Ecole de Santé Militaire in Lyons. He escaped four months later, enrolling in the regular army, serving briefly with the occupying forces in Alsace and Germany. The young veteran joined the Parisian intellectual community, becoming associated with Boris Vian, the singer Juliette Greco, Isidore Isou, and others.

My Year 2006: Serving

Contradicta: Aphorisms

Nick Piombino

Inspired by the notion of the dialectic in the work of philosophers such as Hegel and Bachelard, Piombino created his idea of paired aphorisms he calls contradicta, recasting the classic form of the great aphorists such as La Rochefoucauld, Blake, and Emerson in a contemporary context. His poetic, wise and witty aphorisms are well complemented by the humor, warmth and lyricism of Toni Simon's collages.

Duke, the Dog Priest

Domício Coutinho

This novel fabulously purports to be the tale of a dog who desired to become a priest -- or a least to learn Latin. Narrated by Amarante, a Brazilian and former sacristan living in New York, it will challenge the most sophisticated of readers in its dazzling mix of priests, brothers, nuns, students, church workers, parishioners, city luminaries and the marvelous tales of their interrelationships.

The Hermaphrodite

Daniel Grandbois

Daniel Grandbois' writing has been described as "avant-garde stand-up," "Dr. Seuss for adults," and "between Brautigan's and Basho's." Alfredo Benavidez Bedoya's surreal and satirical woodcuts are collected by major museums all over the world. Together, they have created a happening as much as a book.

Depictions Of Blaff

Christopher Middleton

In these forty short prose texts Blaff is depicted from at least three different angles: that of some young people, that of himself as he soliloquizes, and that of his (external) author. Who is Blaff? He appears as a troubled but dauntless captive of his time, an academic outsider at loose ends, an affable bluffer, a bit of a laugh.
