SUMMARY:H. Bruce Franklin discusses his new book Crash Course: From the Good War to the Forever War
DESCRIPTION:H. Bruce Franklin discusses his new book Crash Course: From the Good War to the Forever War. \n\nAbout Crash Course \n\nGrowing up during the Second World War\, H. Bruce Franklin believed what he was told: that America’s victory would lead to a new era of world peace. Like most Americans\, he was soon led to believe in a world-wide Communist conspiracy that menaced the United States\, forcing the nation into a disastrous war in Korea. But once he joined the U.S. Air Force and began flying top-secret missions as a navigator and intelligence officer\, what he learned was eye-opening. He saw that even as the U.S. preached about peace and freedom\, it was engaging in an endless cycle of warfare\, bringing devastation and oppression to fledgling democracies across the globe. \nNow\, after fifty years as a renowned cultural historian\, Franklin offers a set of hard-learned lessons about modern American history. Crash Course is essential reading for anyone who wonders how America ended up where it is today: with a deeply divided and disillusioned populace\, led by a dysfunctional government\, and mired in unwinnable wars. It also finds startling parallels between America’s foreign military exploits and the equally brutal tactics used on the home front to crush organized labor\, antiwar\, and civil rights movements. \nMore than just a memoir or a history book\, Crash Course gives readers a unique firsthand look at the building of the American empire and the damage it has wrought. Shocking and gripping as any thriller\, it exposes a decades-long deception of the American public and commemorates the few brave souls who fought for truth and justice.

SUMMARY:Damion Searls discusses his translation of Anniversaries: From a Year in the Life of Gesine Cresspahl\, by Uwe Johnson. Sponsored by The Center for the Art of Translation
DESCRIPTION:Damion Searls discusses his translation of Anniversaries: From a Year in the Life of Gesine Cresspahl\, by Uwe Johnson. Sponsored by The Center for the Art of Translation. \n\nAbout Anniversaries \n\nA landmark of 20th Century literature about New York in the late 1960s\, now in English for the first time. \nLate in 1967\, Uwe Johnson\, already one of the most celebrated German novelists of his generation\, set out to write a book that would take the form of an entry for every day of the year that lay ahead.  The  first entry is August 21\, 1967\, and every subsequent entry is dated the following day\, through August 20\, 1968. Of course\, Johnson had no idea what the year would bring—that was part of the challenge—but he did have his main character: Gesine Cresspahl\, a German émigré living on the Upper West Side of New York City and working as a translator for a bank\, who is the single mother of a ten-year-old daughter\, Marie. \nThe book tells the story of a year in the life of this little family in relation to the unfolding stories of the year\, as winnowed from the pages of The New York Times\, of which Gesine is a devoted if wary reader. These stories in turn are overlayed by another: Gesine\, born just as Hitler was coming to power\, has decided to tell Marie the story of her grandparents’ lives and of her own rural childhood in Nazi Germany. \nAnniversaries courts comparison to Joyce’s Ulysses\, the book of a day\, and to Proust’s In Search of Lost Time\, the book of a lifetime\, but it stands apart in its dense polyphonic interplay of voices and stories. It is a novel of private life\, a political novel\, and a new kind of historical novel\, reckoning not only with past history but with history in the making.
