d'y vivre. Yan Hamel, lisant ces romans que signèrent Anne Hébert, Marie-Claire Blais, Jacques Poulin, Michel Tremblay, Gail Scott, Jacques Godbout, Victor-Lévy Beaulieu, la Manitobaine Gabrielle Roy et l'Acadienne France Daigle, n'a pu que constater les tristes inappétences de ces émigrés romanesques, un mal-être nourri d'un sourd et profond sentiment de servitude culturelle. Il rage devant ce constat, il s'emporte et se fait, en héraut tocard, le ramasse-miettes de ces agapes ratéesExiste-t-il une littérature québécoise contre les chaises berçantes ?: pamphlet

L'ensemble des nécrologies qui suivent - c'est ainsi que j'appelle ces textes qui traitent d'écrivains disparus - fréquente ces profondeurs crépusculaires, mais avec des antennes permettant aussi d'attraper les clartés qui les pénètrent et parfois les déchirent, au point de nous éblouir admirablementSteve Wozniak--inventor of the Apple computer

weirdly undefinable decade. The 1990s were a chaotic and gritty and utterly magical time for music, a confounding barrage of genres and lifestyles and superstars, from grunge to hip-hop, from sumptuous R&B to rambunctious ska-punk, from Axl to Kurt to Missy to Santana to Tupac to Britney. In 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE '90s, Ringer music critic Rob Harvilla reimagines all the earwormy, iconic hits Gen Xers pine for with vivid historical storytelling, sharp critical analysis, rampant loopiness, and wryly personal ruminations on the most bizarre, joyous, and inescapable songs from a decade we both regret entirely and miss desperatelyDiscover the inspiring, unknown, against-all-odds story of how the classic animated holiday special A Charlie Brown Christmas almost never made…
it on to television. Professor and cultural historian Michael Keane reveals much in this nostalgia-inducing book packed with original research and interviews. Keane compellingly shows that the ultimate broadcast of the Christmas special—given its incredibly tight five-month production schedule and the decidedly unfavorable reception it received by the skeptical network executives who first screened it—was nothing short of a miracle. Keane explains why the show, despite its technical shortcomings, has become an uplifting and enduring triumph embraced by millions of families every Christmas season, even more than fifty years after its premiere. This gripping and joyful behind-the-scenes story of how the creators of A Charlie Brown Christmas struggled to bring the program to life will also help readers (and loyal fans) understand how America's favorite Christmas special changed our popular culture forever. Keane masterfully weaves the momentous events of 1965 (the turbulent year of the program's production) into his story, providing critical context for a profound new understanding of the program's famous climactic scene, Linus's spot-lit soliloquy answering the question repeatedly posed by Charlie Brown—"Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"The little kingdom: the private story of Apple computer
