Die Arbeit behandelt vier Romane des 1942 geborenen Amerikaners
John Irving: The World According to Garp, The Hotel New Hampshire,
The Cider House Rules und A Prayer for Owen Meany. Im Mittelpunkt
stehen dabei die Fragen, inwieweit die Erzahlkunst Irvings der
Tradition des Fabulierens verpflichtet ist und welche
innovatorischen Elemente aufzufinden sind, die spezifisch
zeitgenoessisches Fabulieren hervorbringen. Dabei wird insbesondere
Irvings tragikomische literarische Welterfassung untersucht. Die
Eroerterung der daraus resultierenden Rezeptionsvielfalt erfolgt im
Ruckgriff auf Aspekte wirkungsasthetischer Theoriebildung.
The international bestseller that will sharpen your mind, broaden
your perspective and transform your relationships.
_____________________________________________________ WHY ARE WE SO
BAD AT ASKING GOOD QUESTIONS? In an increasingly polarized world,
asking better questions in our daily and working lives is a radical
shortcut to personal and professional success. It can create space
for us to rethink our positions, find answers together, and even
change our minds for the better. Drawing on the lessons of Socrates
and other great thinkers, practical philosopher Elke Wiss lays out
an essential toolkit to help you: * Transform debates into
dialogues * Embrace your doubts like a true philosopher * Ditch
your ego and become an active listener * Discover an open and
curious Socratic attitude * Learn Sherlock Holmes's powers of
observation * Open conversations up or dig down deeper with key
question types * Explore thorny issues and avoid classic question
pitfalls * Face your fear of asking and start connecting The right
questions can unlock the answers to anything - and help you know
everything, without being a know-it-all.
