James Gould Cozzens: New Acquist of True Experience

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bruccoli, Matthew J., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, When James Gould Cozzens died on 9 August , his literary career had spanned 13 novels and 54 years, and his dedication to his craft had produced a body of fiction unsurpassed in its fidelity to life and in hard intelligence. Yet, the brilliant body of work by this master American novelist has elicited little crit-ical attention. The process of reappraisal commences with this volume. The essays assembled here, for the most part previously unpublished, indi-cate some worthwhile critical approaches and suggest useful areas for further ex-amination. Contributors include Louis O. Coxe, Colin Cass, John William Ward, Pierre Michel, Robert Scholes, R. H. W. Dillard, R. V. Cassill, Morris H. Wolff, and Leland H. Cox, Jr.

The Clara Ann Burns Story

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Heidi Ann, PUBLISHER: Monkey Puzzle Press, Fiction. Poetry. THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY is an expression of child abuse and neglect witnessed through a patchwork of short prose reflections, poems, one minute plays, scholarly studies, and photographs.Daring in both content and structure, THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY explores multiple genres and is courageously self-reflective."Heidi Ann Smith's unflinching novel viscerally tracks the ways trauma can break our contract with language, how it can hybridize hearts and mouths, and how our tongues might, in the end, fork to speak it all: revelatory, plural, here. THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY, through text and image, offers a map by which to read the geographic/familial underpinnings of our emotional and physical bodies so that we might articulate our own hermeneutic of triumph."--Selah Saterstrom

The Short Story: The Reality of Artifice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: May, Charles E., PUBLISHER: Routledge, The short story is one of the most difficult types of prose to write and one of the most pleasurable to read. From Boccaccio's Decameron to The Collected Stories of Reynolds Price, Charles May gives us an understanding of the history and structure of this demanding form of fiction. Beginning with a general history of the genre, he moves on to focus on the nineteenth-century when the modern short story began to come into focus. From there he moves on to later nineteenth-century realism and early twentieth-century formalism and finally to the modern renaissance of the form that shows no signs of abating. A chronology of significant events, works and figures from the genre's history, notes and references and an extensive bibliographic essay with recommended reading round out the volume.
