Bøger af John Bradley

"Trancelumination is unlike any other book I've encountered in American poetry. What a wild and crazy book. What a wonderful book! Trapped somewhere between poetry and the wisdom found in Chinese fortune cookies is the territory of the aphorism and John Bradley finds his way there again and again in these brilliant shards that shine like mica in a sidewalk. These are truly a delight to read, to savor, to return to. 'Ok, it's been fun, but now back to wordlessness, ' John Bradley writes. But, please let's not rush back to wordlessness too soon!" -- Jim Moore, author of Invisible Strings "Drop a penny into Trancelumination and receive a fortune scrawled by a teller whose clairvoyance is as clouded as it is terrifying and beautiful. Often drunk on language, these fortunes arrive in the form of aphorism, joke, horror, hallucination, and lie. The reader is warned: 'don't wear socks spun from human flesh' because in this world what feels impossible to bear is a heart-wrenching possibility. It is John Bradley's gigantic imagination that saves and destroys this world (and its fortunes) over and over again." --Sabrina Orah Mark, author of Tsim Tsum John Bradley's aphorisms are mundanely magnificent and nonchalantly sublime, like cracking open a fortune cookie to find not a saying but a symphony orchestra. -James Geary, author of The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism and Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists

The Foul Bowel: 101 Ways to Survive and Thrive With Crohn's Disease is the user's guide to being a Crohnie. Describing in often hilarious detail his own 30 year odyssey through Crohn's, John Bradley treats the illness as a journey of learning, highlighting 101 tips for how to better deal with symptoms, doctors, diagnostic tests, medications, surgeries, diet, relationships, career and life in general as a life-long Crohnie. The Foul Bowel demonstrates that happiness is a state of mind, not a state of health and how to take ownership for your illness and its treatment. The outcome is not just the feeling of triumphing over the medics - although that has its moments - but is a celebration of life as a Crohnie.

John Bradley describes the conception of the Oral Surgery Club of Great Britain as the first professional society for Oral Surgeons by Rupert Sutton Taylor in 1936 and its history from the first meeting in 1937. He describes its subsequent progress as a travelling club for Oral Surgeons up to the present day.

John Bradley takes us on his journey from the Hot Spots of the bombing of second world war to the Hot Seat as Chairman of a Health Trust in Lancashire. The journey is not always smooth. There is confrontation around every corner, with Managers, Politicians, Plastic Surgeons and even Royalty. All are overcome; an arrogant General Surgeon meets his match in the last chapter. But there is also camaraderie, cooperation, innovation, friendship and humour. John's story is a part of the history of the development of the speciality of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the second half of the twentieth century in England. Not so many years ago but in many respects a different era when trainees were almost permanently on call and a Consultant could pick up the telephone and speak to the Minister of Health. This is a part of how Oral Surgery used to be and how it got to where it is now.

John Bradley's EROTICA ATOMICA is a theater of the absurd, and the macbre: the worst weapons of the twentieth century examined in painstaking, mad detail, becoming surreal objects of our own folly.

Poetry. Italian History. Washington Prize winner, second edition. John Bradley's persona Roberto Zingarello allows him to become post-war Italy: in love, revenge, and confusion, he sings loose the past, questioning and questing into the uncertain future. "We need more characters like Zingarello in American poetry and more poets like Bradley who will step out of bounds to shake us with writing that is so different and important."--Ray Gonzalez, The Bloomsbury Review "Bradley enters the world of fictive poetry, and we are the richer for it. In Zingarello, Bradley has created a voice big enough to express the human dream of transcending history."--Bill Tremblay
