Edo, art in Japan 1615-1868 / by Singer, Robert T.(CARDINAL)219092; 880-04Carpenter, John T.(CARDINAL)208605; National Gallery of Art (U.S.)(CARDINAL)141262;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 478-479).Forms and norms in Edo arts and society / Herman Ooms -- Ornament -- Ornamental culture: style and meaning in Edo Japan / Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere -- Samurai -- Arms: the balance of peace / Victor Harris -- Work -- Workers of Edo: ambiance, archetype, or individual / Hollis Goodall -- Religion and festivals -- Old worlds, new visions: religion and art in Edo Japan / Robert T. Singer -- Travel landscape, and nature -- City, country, travel, and vision in Edo cultural landscapes / Melinda Takeuchi -- Entertainment -- The human figure in the playground of Edo artistic imagination / John T. Carpenter.The West's understanding of historical Japan is almost wholly based on works of art from the Edo period -- screen paintings of landscape settings and city life, woodblock prints of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, and courtesans; brilliantly colored porcelains, exquisite textiles made for nō theater or wealthy patrons. One hallmark of Edo art is the lack of distinction between "high art" and "crafts": an artist was as likely to design a lacquer box or a ceramic bowl as to paint on paper or silk. This lavishly illustrated book presents examples of Edo art in all media, discussed in the context of ornament, samurai arts, work, religion and festivals, landscapes and travel, and entertainment. Experts in the field have written essays that address the themes and entries that focus on the individual works of art. -- From publisher's description.

Stephen Florida : a novel / by Habash, Gabe,author.(CARDINAL)342483;
"In Stephen Florida, Gabe Habash has created a coming-of-age story with its own, often explosive, rhythm and velocity. Habash has a canny sense of how young men speak and behave, and in Stephen, he's created a singular character: funny, ambitious, affecting, but also deeply troubled, vulnerable, and compellingly strange. This is a shape-shifter of a book, both a dark ode to the mysteries and landscapes of the American West and a complex and convincing character study."--Hanya Yanagihara, author of A Little Life Foxcatcher meets The Art of Fielding, Stephen Florida follows a college wrestler in his senior season, when every practice, every match, is a step closer to greatness and a step further from sanity. Profane, manic, and tipping into the uncanny, it's a story of loneliness, obsession, and the drive to leave a mark."--
