A Tragic Diagnosis

“… ohne Zweifel die sachkundigste Zusammenschau des Schreibens von Peter Handke, die einen umfassenden Überblick über das OEvre wie auch profunde Einblicke in die einzelnen Texte bietet.” (Georg Pichler, in: Revista de Filología Alemana, Heft 29, 2021)
“... Einen beeindruckenden Beitrag zu einer Gesamtübersicht über das Werk Handkes hat jetzt Rolf G. Renner vorgelegt. Diese Arbeit unternimmt es, zu allen Aspekten und (nahezu) allen Einzeltexten Handkes einen Kommentar zu leisten und verbindende Linien aufzuzeigen. ... bietet Renners Studie eine sorgfältige Synthese bisheriger Forschungsansätze und eine wichtige Referenz für zukünftige Analysen.” (Oliver Kohns, in: Zeitschrift für Germanistik, Jg. 32, Heft 1, 2022)

"Nowhere are the psychological dynamics of this ordeal and triumph more clearly, gracefully, or economically set forth."-- Willie Lee Rose, The New York Review of Books"Black Odyssey is a masterful work, at once poetic and instructive. His is an enduring contribution to the study of American history. This book deserves the widest readership." -- Herbert G. Gutman"A thoughtful and thought-provoking book...written with feeling." -- Oscar Handlin"The classic on the subject for a long time to come....The general reader, for whom the work is written, will simply be enthralled." -- The New Yorker

The African-American Ordeal in Slavery

Black Odyssey

A cheerful rhyming text and painterly illustrations created in Adobe Photoshop offer young readers a different train for each letter of the alphabet. The simple text is straightforward without letting the rhyme become cloying: &ldquo;G is for Glacier Express,/a scenic, alpine glide./H is for Hurricane Turn./Wave a flag to catch a ride.&rdquo; Each train is featured on its own page, allowing the page turns to reveal the next type of train. A spread ends the book by giving factual information for each of the trains depicted, further enhancing the book&rsquo;s appeal to train enthusiasts. VERDICT Pair this with Donald Crews&rsquo;s Freight Train (Greenwillow,1978) and Margaret Wise Brown&rsquo;s Two Little Trains (HarperCollins, 2001) illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon, for a high-speed storytime.-School Library JournalIn a companion to 2013's Alphabet Trucks, Vamos and O'Rourke introduce 26 trains as they proceed from A to Z. They make room for general categories like bullet trains and coal trains, as well as location-specific conveyances&mdash;like the Xplorer of New South Wales, Australia, and the Q train of New York City's subway system, taking care of a couple tricky letters in the process. Vamos's rhymes are as sturdy as the trains she discusses ("I is for incline train,/ a steep, uphill track./ J is for Jupiter,/ with a wide balloon stack"), while O'Rourke sneaks numerous upper-and lower-case letters into his cheerful digital illustrations, which all but beg to be pointed out by kids as the pages turn.-Publishers Weekly&#160;

Alphabet Trains

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&ldquo;Writer Max Brooks and illustrator Caanan White hew closely to the true tale of the 369th Infantry Regiment...The horrors of war and the outrages of racism are vividly conveyed in a swift and suspenseful tale.&rdquo; &mdash;U-T San Diego&ldquo;Shattering...A visceral evocation of the horrors of trench warfare...A sharp reminder that venerating volunteer troops for their service is an ideal that has not always been a reality.&rdquo; &mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;[One] of of the most powerful books I've read so far this year...This is a stunning work of historical recovery and a very graphic graphic novel: bodies explode, rats feed on corpses, men are strafed and gassed. It's not pretty, but the "in your face" style of The Harlem Hellfighters is suited to dramatizing a crucial part of American history that hasn't been thrust forcefully enough into our collective faces.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR, Fresh Air&ldquo;Stunning... Like the regiment of African American soldiers it depicts, Harlem Hellfighters can&rsquo;t be stereotyped or pigeon holed. It might not be your typical history book, but it packs one hell of a punch.&rdquo; &mdash;Newsweek&ldquo;A splashy, fun, gripping number, and an intriguing look at an oft-ignored footnote in the history books.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Daily News&ldquo;Moral complexity is just one of the novel's many achievements. Dialogue and imagery are often richly juxtaposed... White's illustrations render the grisly and graphic details of trench warfare with haunting immediacy... The sharp lines and shadowy depths of his sketches are absorbing and Brooks&rsquo; words are equally evocative. The dialogue is bleak, funny, and efficient... [Brooks&rsquo;] careful research doesn&rsquo;t sap the story of its speed and strength.&rdquo; &mdash;Christian Science Monitor&ldquo;Shines a literary klieg light on a woefully overlooked chapter of World War I...Bolstering Brooks&rsquo;s storytelling muscle is the high-contrast black-and-white art of gifted Caanan White, whose graphic grit evokes Joe Kubert and 'Sgt. Rock'... A powerful comic that may do more than any previous work to illuminate the heroism of the 369th.&rdquo; &mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;The Harlem Hellfighters brings to life a long forgotten piece of American history. Bravo, Max Brooks, bravo.&rdquo; &mdash;Spike Lee&ldquo;An utterly fresh and shocking blend of storytelling and graphic art that takes us back to the global conflagration at the dawn of the last century and the heroic and outsized role brave African American soldiers played in turning the tide for the Allies. In an injustice oft repeated throughout our history, the heroic feats of the 'Harlem Hellfighters' were not just forgotten but deliberately suppressed by a nation eager to accept the Black man&rsquo;s sacrifice but terrified to give him the slightest credit for it. Denied the ability to even defend themselves back home, the Hellfighters tear up the Western Front and terrify the Germans, facing down machine guns, rats, and poison gas with stoic relentlessness and deflected fury. White&rsquo;s illustrations explode&#160;off the page and Brooks&rsquo; storytelling brings gripping action and anger to every page.&rdquo; &mdash;Tom Reiss, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Black Count &ldquo;Brooks's text seethes with rage at the soldiers' mistreatment, but he insists that even the racists who saw them in action would have respected their accomplishments. Like the text, White's b&w art is intensely furious, emphasizing the war's chaotic horror. Reading the book is a&#160;painful, memorable experience.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;The Harlem Hellfighters is perhaps the first graphic novel taking as its theme a major episode in African American History, the heroic performance of black men in combat during World War I. Brilliantly dramatized by Max Brooks&mdash;author of such national bestsellers as World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide&mdash;and stunningly illustrated by Caanan White, one of our foremost African-American comic book illustrators, the novel tells the gripping story of the often overlooked black men who served their country in combat against enemy forces during 'the Great War.' The Harlem Hellfighters served in combat longer than any other American unit, losing neither men nor ground, even as they fought entrenched racism within the U.S. military. Brooks and White tell a thrilling saga of noble perseverance, individual valor and sacrifice and collective triumph, showing how combat abroad in war contributed to the larger quest for civil rights at home. Informed by judicious historical research and vividly illustrated storytelling, this book itself is an historical &ldquo;first,&rdquo; and is a major contribution to our understanding of Black History.&rdquo; &mdash;Henry Louis Gates, Jr., The Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University

A welcome addition to civil rights literature for children ... Hamer's determination, perseverance, and unwavering resolve come through on every page. Holmes' quiltlike collage illustrations emphasize the importance Hamer placed on community among African-Americans. Young readers who open this book with just a vague notion of who Fannie Lou Hamer was will wonder no more after absorbing this striking portrait of the singer and activist. Bold, honest, informative, and unforgettable.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Caldecott Honor winner Weatherford (Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom, 2006) has rendered Hamer&#8217;s voice so precisely that it is like sitting at her knee as she tells her story. Holmes&#8217; multimedia collages perfectly capture the essence of each poem. Like Hamer&#8217;s life, the illustrations are filled with light, texture, movement, and darkness. They are both abstract and realistic, brilliantly juxtaposing gentle floral motifs with protest placards and Fannie Lou Hamer&#8217;s face in bold relief. Ultimately, though this is Hamer&#8217;s story, it includes the collaborative struggles of others with whom she worked and fought for a different America. Bold, unapologetic, and beautiful.&#8212;Booklist (starred review)Told in the first person from Hamer&#8217;s own perspective, this lyrical text in verse emphasizes the activist&#8217;s perseverance and courage, as she let her booming voice be heard. Holmes&#8217;s beautiful, vibrant collage illustrations add detail and nuance, often depicting Hamer wearing yellow, which reflects her Sunflower County roots...Hamer&#8217;s heroic life story should be widely known, and this well-crafted work should find a place in most libraries.&#8212;School Library Journal (starred review)Artist Holmes, in her children&#8217;s literature debut, elevates an already excellent narrative with richly colored collage illustrations that layer meaning upon meaning with scraps of historical photos, newsprint, maps, musical scores, and more...This majestic biography offers a detailed, intelligible overview of Hamer&#8217;s life while never losing the thread of her motivations, fears, and heroic triumphs, and places the civil rights movement in personal, local, national, and international contexts.&#8212;The Horn Book (starred review)In a series of poems in this biography, Weatherford traces the life of Fannie Lou Hamer from her childhood as the youngest of 20 children of sharecroppers in Mississippi to her social and political activism...The poems feature particular events in Hamer&#8217;s life and their implications, which provide readers with memorable, heart-wrenching details.&#8212;Literacy DailyConsider this not only as an accessible biography but also as a piece for solo or duet performance.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksThe combination of history, poetry, and brilliant watercolor illustrations makes this a picture book on the Civil Rights Movement that should not be missed.&#8212;School Library ConnectionIn a new children&#8217;s book, Roxbury painter and collage artist Ekua Holmes juxtaposes light and dark, flowers and protest signs to represent the life of Fannie Lou Hamer, civil-rights activist.&#8212;The Boston Globe

"Several great vinegar books have been released in recent years, but you may want to consideradding this one to your shelves, if you, like Jonathon Sawyer, are tired of the commerciallyproduced, caramel-colored vinegars that are most widely available.
