Whether Goethe actually cried "More light!" on his deathbed, or whether Conrad Hilton checked out of this world after uttering "Leave the shower curtain on the inside of the tub," last words, regardless of authenticity, have long captured the imagination of Western society. In this playfully serious investigation based on factual accounts, anecdotes, literary works, and films, Karl Guthke explores the cultural importance of those words spoken at the border between this world and the next. The exit lines of both famous and ordinary people embody for us a sense of drama and truthfulness and reveal much about our thoughts on living and dying. Why this interest in last words? Presenting statements from such figures as Socrates, Nathan Hale, Marie Antoinette, and Oscar Wilde ("I am dying as I have lived, beyond my means"), Guthke examines our fascination in terms of our need for closure, our desire for immortality, and our attraction to the mystique of death scenes. The author considers both authentic and invented final statements as he looks at the formation of symbols and legends and their function in our culture. Last words, handed down from generation to generation like cultural heirlooms, have a good chance of surviving in our collective memory. They are shown to epitomize a life, convey a sense of irony, or play to an audience, as in the case of the assassinated Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, who is said to have died imploring journalists: "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.

In het Haydn-jaar 2009 werd Dimitri Verhulst benaderd door het Ensor strijkkwartet om nieuwe teksten te schrijven op Die Sieben Letzten Worte van Joseph Haydn. Het strijkkwartet wilde de prachtige muziek eens loskoppelen van het religieuze gegeven en de zeven laatste zinnen die Christus aan het kruis sprak, en benaderen vanuit de dagelijkse realiteit. Verhulst schreef zeven juwelen van korte verhalen, geïnspireerd op de beroemde zinnen: 1. Vader, vergeef hen want ze weten niet wat zij doen, 2. Voorwaar, ik zeg u, heden nog zult gij bij me zijn in 't paradijs 3. Vrouw, zie daar uw zoon 4. Mijn god, waarom hebt gij mij verlaten? 5. Ik heb dorst 6. Het is volbracht 7. In uw handen beveel ik mijn geest

Brenda Marshall's Teaching The Postmodern is the first introduction to postmodernism accessible enough for the undergraduate reader and rigorous enough to inform and challenge the advanced student and the teacher. Designed for the classroom, Teaching The Postmodern reads both literary texts and theory. Marshall engagingly introduces the reader to key terminology and concepts: structuralism, poststructuralism, the critique of subjectivity, the critique of representation, intertextuality, historiographic metafiction, and counter-memory. Fiction by Italo Calvino, J.M. Coetzee, Michel Tournier, Christa Wolf, Salman Rushdie, Timothy Findley, and Toni Morrison roots the theory in practice. Taking on the notoriously inaccessible, Teaching The Postmodern demonstrates that postmodernism can be comprehensible, and even fun.
