'Das Haus' the House and the Son of the Rabbi

"Theology needs the literary imagination and, indeed, will not survive without it. However, a responsible imagination is never imagination for imagination's sake, for it is connected to the gendered, ethnic, class, national, and postcolonial realities of identity, of real people living in the world. The essays collected here show where, when, and how the creative forces of literature can meet theology, and how such an intersection makes a difference for that practical mode of thinking we call ethics." - S. Brent Plate, author of Walter Benjamin, Religion, and Aesthetics, editor of Religion, Art, and Visual Culture

"These essays in Theology and Literature enable their reader to discover how a strongly centrifugal effect, produced by a rich array of texts, locations, and issues, can coincide with the centripetal effect of securing reading as moral, spiritual practice." - Professor Wesley A. Kort, Chair, Department of Religion, Duke University

"In this new millennium, where the question of responsibility personal, corporate, national, global hits us with new force, the old jouissance of textual engagement has given way to a renewed ethical imperative. It is reassuring to see a volume like this take seriously the question of reading, and indeed writing, responsibly, not by tossing out the last fifty years, but by provoking us into new ways of appropriating the textual concerns of yesterday for the new ethical demands of today. This is a timely and important book, therefore: diverse in its range of genre and tradition, yet singular in its focus on what it means to be responsible with the texts and theories that we have inherited and that we now employ." - Andrew W. Hass, University of Stirling

Mond-Astrologie ist das älteste astrologische System der Menschheit. Unsere Vorfahren beobachteten am Himmel hauptsächlich den Mond in seinen Phasen und in seinen 27 Mondstationen. Aufgrund dieser Beobachtungen und der damit einhergehenden Erfahrungen legten sie bereits einen fundierten Erfahrungsschatz nieder, was günstige und ungünstige Zeiten für bestimmte Tätigkeiten in der Landwirtschaft, des täglichen Lebens oder für wichtige, geplante Ereignisse anging. Sie erkannten auch, wie der Mond in seinen 8 Mondphasen und im Laufe der 29-30 Mondphasentage während eines Umlaufs von Neumond zu Neumond auch den Charakter der Menschen beeinflusst, die zu den jeweiligen Tagen geboren sind. Auch heute sind Mondkalender sehr beliebt, weil sie das Leben einfacher machen und man den Erfolg für bestimm

Winner of the 2019 Grand Poetry Prize of the Netherlands&#10;Winner of the Aan Zee Poetry Debut Prize&#10;Winner of the C Buddinhh&#8217; Prize&#10;Winner of the Awater Poetry Prize&#10;Winner of the Herman de Coninck Prize&#10;&#10;&#34;Radna Fabias&#8217;s&#160;Habitus, translated from the Dutch by David Colmer, astonishes with a measured unruliness. The reader is energetically flung through space by the irregular stanza breaks, enjambment, and narrative trajectories that feel fresh and unpredictable. Yet even with the zigzagging through time and space, Fabias&#8217;s authoritative voice steers us through critiques of the nation-state&#8217;s ongoing violence, showing us how such violence disguises itself as white generosity.&#34;&#160;&#8212;Megan Fernandes, Poetry Foundation&#8220;Radna Fabias practices her craft in the spirit of strangers and strangeness, liberty and lyricism, truth and transience.&#8221;&#160;&#8212;Matt Sutherland,&#160;Foreword Reviews&#8220;Radna Fabias&#8217;s debut collection&#160;Habitus&#160;advances geographically, temporally, and thematically&#8212;almost narratively&#8212;yet at the same time feels resonantly still, as though each line echoes the entire collection.&#8221;&#160;&#8212;Action Books&#8220;I was stunned and thrilled by these poems. They have a confident, clear, strange, wild energy, along with the rage and wisdom and humor of a soul who understands the terrors and beauties of this world. They are the electric record of an exceptional imagination. I love these poems and can&#8217;t wait to see what&#8217;s next.&#8221; &#8212;Matthew Zapruder, author of Why Poetry and Father&#8217;s Day&#10;&#34;If lucky, readers get drawn into a language; at best, they get pulled into a new world. The 35-year-old poet Radna Fabias provides an exceptional &#8216;at best&#8217; case. Fabias does what readers hope a poet can do: she does not just throw language and thoughts at you; she draws you into her world. The opening poem of her collection Habitus starts with an appropriate image: shiny wheel rims, flawlessly polished and too big and expensive for the cars to which they are attached. It&#8217;s fitting, because what follows is speed: 115 mesmerizing, generous, sensory, playful, daring pages. She introduces the reader to the Dutch Antilles, to perforce powerful women, and to the peril that always lurks around the corner. All of this haunts Fabias, such that she must write poetry about it: she speaks of &#8220;the inability to amputate my cultural background from my identity.&#8221; And it haunts the reader. [&#8230;] The Jury reached a consensus quite quickly and agreed: What a gift, this Habitus, and what a winner for the Aan Zee Poetry Debut Prize!&#34; &#8211;&#8211;Jury Report, Aan Zee Poetry Debut Prize&#10;&#10;&#8220;What transforms this poetry into great poetry is its momentum and rhythm, the wealth of its images and its nuanced vision on human existence.&#34; &#8211;&#8211;Piet Gerbrandy, Versopolis Poetry

Habitus

&ldquo;We are likely to hear a lot more of this woman. Some October, perhaps, from the Nobel Prize committee.&rdquo; &mdash;The Nation&nbsp;&ldquo;One of Russia&rsquo;s best living writers . . . Her tales inhabit a borderline between this world and the next.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&nbsp;&ldquo;Petrushevskaya, now seventy-six and finally attracting the readership she deserves, [has] a ringleader&rsquo;s calm mastery of the absurd.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker&nbsp;&ldquo;Petrushevskaya writes instant classics.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Beast&nbsp;&ldquo;Petrushevskaya is the Tolstoy of the communal kitchen. . . . She is not, like Tolstoy, writing of war, or, like Dostoevsky, writing of criminals on the street, or, like poet Anna Akhmatova or novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, noting the extreme suffering of those sent to the camps. Rather, she is bearing witness to the fight to survive the everyday. . . . [She is] dazzlingly talented and deeply empathetic.&rdquo; &mdash;Slate&nbsp;&ldquo;This celebrated Russian author is so disquieting that long after Solzhenitsyn had been published in the Soviet Union, her fiction was banned&mdash;even though nothing about it screams &lsquo;political&rsquo; or &lsquo;dissident&rsquo; or anything else. It just screams.&rdquo; &mdash;Elle&nbsp;&ldquo;Her suspenseful writing calls to mind the creepiness of Poe and the psychological acuity (and sly irony) of Chekhov.&rdquo; &mdash;More&nbsp;&ldquo;Petrushevskaya&rsquo;s fiction [offers] a glimpse of what it means to be a human being, living sometimes in bitter misery, sometimes in unexpected grace.&rdquo; &mdash;Jenny Offill,&nbsp;The New York Times Book Review&nbsp;&ldquo;The fact that Ludmilla Petrushevskaya is Russia&rsquo;s premier writer of fiction today proves that the literary tradition that produced Dostoyevsky, Gogol, and Babel is alive and well.&rdquo; &mdash;Taylor Antrim,&nbsp;The Daily Beast&nbsp;&ldquo;What distinguishes the author is her compression of language, her use of detail and her powerful visual sense.&rdquo; &mdash;Time Out New York&nbsp;&ldquo;A master of the Russian short story.&rdquo; &mdash;Olga Grushin, author of&nbsp;The Dream Life of Sukhanov&nbsp;&ldquo;There is no other writer who can blend the absurd and the real in such a scary, amazing and wonderful way.&rdquo; &mdash;Lara Vapnyar, author of&nbsp;There Are Jews in My House&nbsp;&ldquo;One of the greatest writers in Russia today and a vital force in contemporary world literature.&rdquo; &mdash;Ken Kalfus, author of&nbsp;A Disorder Peculiar to the Country&nbsp;&ldquo;A master of the short story form, a kindred spirit to writers like Angela Carter and Yumiko Kurahashi.&rdquo; &mdash;Kelly Link, author of&nbsp;Get in Trouble, Magic for Beginners,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stranger Things Happen&nbsp;&ldquo;In her best work Petrushevskaya steers a sure course between neutrally recording the degraded life of the Soviet-era urban underclass and ratcheting up the squalor of that life for the mere pleasure of it. She does so by the steadiness of her moral compass and the gaiety of her prose.&rdquo; &mdash;J. M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
