Before the revolutionary rock musical ERentE Jonathan Larson had
another story to tell... his own. Etick tick ... BOOM!E is a
three-chapter pop rock musical about facing crossroads in life and
holding on to your dreams that was first produced off Broadway in
2001. It tells the story of young Jonathan a promising young
composer on the eve of his 30th birthday. His girlfriend wants to
get married and move out of the city (EtickE); his best friend is
making big bucks on Madison Avenue (EtickE); and he's still waiting
tables and trying to write the great American musical before time
and life passes him by (EBOOM!E).
This is finally, an authorized libretto to this modern day classic!
"Rent" won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, as well as four Tony
Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score for
Jonathan Larson. The story of Mark, Roger, Maureen, Tom Collins,
Angel, Mimi, JoAnne, and their friends on the Lower East Side of
New York City will live on, along with the affirmation that there
is 'no day but today.' This title includes 16 color photographs of
productions of "Rent" from around the world, plus an introduction
("Rent Is Real") by Victoria Leacock Hoffman.
Critical Thinking in Slovakia after Socialism interrogates the
putative relationship between critical thought and society through
an ethnographic study of civic discourse in post-1989 Slovakia.
Critical thinking is the civic virtue of a liberal democracy.
Citizens who think for themselves, cooperate, and can agree to
disagree are the hallmark of a self-governing society. People from
undemocratic societies, however, are often believed to lack this
virtue, because authoritarian regimes smother critical discourse
through fear and dull critical thought through the control of
information and propaganda. After the end of Communist rule in
1989, Westernagents of democratization and educational development
chided the residents of the former Czechoslovakia for this
deficiency, claiming that the Slovaks' inability to think
critically was the reason the nation struggled to integrate with
Western Europe. Critical Thinking in Slovakia after Socialism
examines this putative relationship between critical thought and
society through an ethnographic study of post-1989 Slovakia.
Drawing on original fieldwork and anthropological theories of
language and culture, Jonathan Larson uncovers patterns of social
analysis and criticism in Slovak political discourse. He exposes
ways in which these discursive practices have been misinterpreted
and explains their underlying dynamics in Slovak society. This
important volume, bringing together scholarship on East Central
Europe, liberalism, education, and the public sphere, gives
students of modern history, politics,and culture a fresh
perspective on a skill essential to civil society. Jonathan L.
Larson is visiting Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the
University of Iowa.

In these pages, Rent offers what most theater books can't: a chance
to step behind the curtain and feel the electricity of a stage
phenomenon as it unfolds. Rent captures the heart and spirit of a
generation, reflecting it onstage through the emotion of its
stirring words and music, and the energy of its young cast. Now,
for the first time, Rent comes to life on the page - through vivid
color photographs, the full libretto, and a behind-the-scenes oral
history of the show's creation.
