BOOK(s) OF THE WEEK 11/1

 

TIME CAPSULE 

SDSU PRESS' BOOK(s) OF THE WEEK

    SDSU Press is all about these three books this week; "My Native Land is Memory; Stories of a Cuban Childhood" by Oliva M. Espín, "Four Trips of Antiquity" by Everett Gee Jackson, and "Perceiving & Telling; A Study of Iterative Discourse" By Danièle Chatelain. 
    Travel with Espín as she explores the memories of her adolescence interwoven with political shifts as Cuba changes just as much as the coming of age girl. Following this look back, Chatelain's "Perceiving & Telling" challenges the way language and verbal conventions blur our understanding of time. And to finish off our time oriented books collection, pick up "Four Trips to Antiquity" and joins one artists search for historical ancient Maya sculptures. 

    All these books and more are available on our Amazon page!

BOOKS OF THE WEEK--10/18

 SDSU PRESS' BOOKS OF THE WEEK 

HYPERBOLE BOOKS EDITION 

San Diego State University Press imprint Hyperbole Books is all about the critical documentation of new aesthetics and the comparison to those of old. The wide range of books published under this imprint couldn't possibly fit into a single weeks worth of our spotlighted books. Three of our Hyperbole Book publications stand center stage this week! 

SDSU Press' book(s) of the week: Dive into film noir and the aesthetics that rooted themselves in Los Angeles with Fanny Daubigny’s “Proust in Black”.Travel to the world of Brazilian poet Glauco Mattoso in Steven F. Butterman’s “Perversions on Parade”. And if the world of science fiction is more your thing than look no further than Naief Yehya’s “Drone Visions”, where killing machines escape movie media and creep their way into our everyday lives.
