Jeff Parker – författare

The thing about Negaduck is, he’s not just a one-trick villain. The guy can lie, cheat, cause chaos…but what’s he really great at? STEALING! So great, in fact, that his mastery at thieving gets him noticed by a super-duper-secret collective of burgling bad guys that not only want him to join their group…they want him to be their leader! Second-story men JEFF PARKER and CIRO CANGIALOSI are joined by larcenous cover artists JAE LEE, DREW MOSS, and TRISH FORSTNER for this latest and greatest adventure of Darkwing Duck’s notorious nemesis — missing it would be a crime!

“Jeff Parker is a writer who understands that voice is the doorway to all true beauty in fiction. Tight, wry, dark, and deeply funny – he is a master of the hyper-compressed sentence that explodes with more meaning and nuance than should be possible.” – George Saunders, author of Pastoralia “Jeff Parker’s stories are mysterious, heartfelt, and utterly captivating. In The Taste of Penney he casually flexes a Voltron-like combo of writerly gifts: Ron Carlson’s mastery of voice, Elmore Leonard’s uncanny ear for dialogue, and Raymond Carver’s spare wit. This collection contains some of the most absorbing and brightly imaginative stories I’ve come across in some time.” – Davy Rothbart, FOUND Magazine “Whether moose legs or tongue tips or sperm counts or pennies lodged into a throat, Parker disassembles us so compellingly that we no longer wish to be whole. His inventiveness revises the world as we know it with audacious wit.” – Mary Caponegro, author of All Fall Down and The Star Café“Here we have characters in Russian messing up in hilarious ways; taking care of a cheating girlfriend’s pet bird; failing miserably at roadside tests in front of cops; spraying indoor centipedes with cheap cologne. Has my life ever been this bad? Nope. Have I ever felt like such a foreigner in an already-strange land? Not even close. Do I wish that Id’ written these stories? Absolutely. I’m jealous. The Taste of Penny’s the best ride at a spectacular carnival. “ – George Singleton, author of The Half-Mammals of Dixie and These People Are Us.“These stories are haunting and constantly surprising.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review)The Taste of Penny agitates the sense in thirteen stories modern and mischievous. This collection captures love, relationships, and finding one''s way in the twenty-first century.Jeff Parker is the author of the novel Ovenman (Tin House). His short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in American Short Fiction, The Best American Nonrequired Reading, Indiana Review, Ploughshares, Tin House, The Walrus, and others. He teaches creative writing at the University of Toronto.

Morphological structures interact dynamically with lexical processing and storage, with the parameters of morphological typology being partly dependent on cognitive pathways for processing, storage and generalization of word structure, and vice versa. Bringing together a team of well-known scholars, this book examines the relationship between linguistic cognition and the morphological diversity found in the world's languages. It includes research from across linguistic and cognitive science sub-disciplines that looks at the nature of typological diversity and its relationship to cognition, touching on concepts such as complexity, interconnectedness within systems, and emergent organization. Chapters employ experimental, computational, corpus-based and theoretical methods to examine specific morphological phenomena, and an overview chapter provides a synthesis of major research trends, contextualizing work from different methodological and philosophical perspectives. Offering a novel perspective on how cognition contributes to our understanding of word structure, it is essential reading for psycholinguists, theoreticians, typologists, computational modelers and cognitive scientists.

Erratic Fire, Erratic Passion is a collection of found poems composed of the words of professional athletes.The content of post-game interviews and sports chatter is so often meaningless, if not insufferable, and yet there are athletes like Metta World Peace who transcend lame clichés and rote patter, who use language in surprising ways, who can be funny and shocking and insightful and alarmingly sincere — pure poetry. Muhammad Ali offered dazzling displays of lexical wizardry, and Allen Iverson’s infamous “practice” rant shifted the post-game press conference from the banal to the absurd.This book is a celebration of these rare and exceptional moments. Various poetic forms and line-breaks highlight — or, in the words of Deion Sanders, “deem to set a candor on” — the sophisticated, sublime, and surprising performances of language made by professional athletes.
