Patrick O'Neill Bücher

Der Verkauf des gesamten Geschäfts durch den Verwaltungsrat ohne Zustimmung der Generalversammlung wird in Lehre und Rechtsprechung als faktische Liquidation qualifiziert. Eine solche Rechtshandlung ist nach allgemeiner Auffassung nichtig, weil sie vom Zweck der Gesellschaft nicht gedeckt sei und deshalb die ordentliche Vertretungsmacht des Verwaltungsrats überschreite. Die vorliegende Zürcher Dissertation setzt sich kritisch mit dieser Auffassung auseinander und kommt zum Schluss, dass der Verwaltungsrat im Rahmen seiner Vertretungsmacht durchaus befugt sein könne, das gesamte Geschäft ohne Zustimmung der Generalversammlung zu veräussern. Der Begriff der faktischen Liquidation entstamme dem Steuerrecht und eigne sich nur bedingt für die Beschreibung aktienrechtlicher Vorgänge.

Döblin's novel has been ignored for a long time by the reviewers if not frankly rejected without much ado because of its seemingly frivolous form. The present study is an attempt to do justice to the work, to appreciate it as a surrealistic, grotesque and utterly funny novel of high standard. The Babylonische Wanderung merits a permanent and honorable place among Döblin's works.

Exploring the intersection of narrative and reader engagement, this book presents eight analyses of twentieth-century German literature through the lens of structuralist and poststructuralist narratology. Patrick O'Neill examines works by authors such as Mann, Kafka, and Hesse, emphasizing the unique ways stories are told and their implications for understanding narrative. Central to his analysis is the relationship between story and discourse, highlighting the active role of the reader in modern and postmodern narratives as a semiotic structure.

Patrick O'Neill approaches five of Kafka's novels and short stories by considering the many translations of each work as a single, multilingual “macrotext.”

"Planet Earth opens with the literal shattering of a blackboard. In the poems that follow, Patrick O'Neill shatters illusions of self and others in his usual no-holds-barred style. He rejects being called a legend ("Between a Canoe and a Dock") - legendary people are dead or might as well be dead - and the struggle to overcome the label revives his joy in reflection. The narrator of the poems is true to himself, however hard and lonely that can be. He's open to blinding insights that come unsolicited from encounters with friends, family, lovers, and strangers. In the best of these poems the narrator tells compacted, intensified short stories-a son pulled back from the brink, a free-spirited niece who champions nature, an elderly uncle divining the meaning of life as he seeks water, a priest who cannot escape the confines of his faith, two childhood friends recalling the same baseball games in quite different ways years later. It would be enough that these are highly entertaining tales; O'Neill challenges his readers to more." -Diane Montz

Patrick O'Neill's verse with its wonderfully -everyman- characters brings so-called -common folks- to a literary immortality that demands his inclusion in the pantheon of old and new great poets. --Del Reitz, Ed/Pub Newsletter Inago O'Neill's use of language, pacing, and punch lines are equally sharp in three-line or three-page poems. He sets up a scene, then moves in for the kill with unflinching precision. --Diane Montz, Arts & Entertainment Writer Ironwood Daily Globe In Patrick O'Neill's poetry, inner monologues and outer dialogues fold into episodes-vignettes of everyday living. He sprinkles his poems with gentle treatments of the wisdom of animals, the revelations of plants. His poetry is a veritable kaleidoscope of highly interesting slices of life. His empathic style touches the reader's heart-felt spirits while his offbeat wit and subtle irony produce provocative revelations. --Tom Bruneau, Professor Emeritus, Radford University
