1 What Have You Read Recently That You Particularly Enjoyed? What have you read recently that you particularly enjoyed? Loosing My Espanish by H G Carillo The Dark Valley: a panorama of the thirties Wired magazine The Tooth Fairy by Graham Joyce The Last of Her Kind by Sigrid Nunez, Sailing My Shoe to Timbuktu by Joyce Thompson, Sightseeing by Rattawut Lapcharoensap Dreams from My Father ­ Barack Obama Digging into America ­ Anne Tyler Thisbe Nissen’s Osprey Island The Reluctant Fundamentalist­­­Moshin Hamid Life Of PI­­­Yann Martel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan­­­ Lisa See A Single Shard­­­Linda Sue Park Broken­William Cope Moyers 'Cod' 'My Life as a Fake' 'Atonement' Big Red Barn by Margaret Wise Brown Eduardo Galeano's 'Voices of Time: A Life in Stories' translated by Mark Fried, The entire Narnia series (finally got around to it!) by C.S.Lewis 'Being Geniuses Together' by Robert McAlmon & Kay Boyle 'Untold Stories' by Alan Bennett 'Airports and Other Wasted Days (poetry) by Kevin Ireland 'Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes' (poetry) by Billy Collins All of Carl Hiassen's books and most of Tim Dorsey, last one Hurrican Punch. The Biology of Cancer by Robert Weinberg (non fiction) High Lonesome by Joyce Carol Oates The Story Behind the Story, 26 Stories by Contemporary Writers and How They Work Forever Summer by Ray Bradbury Resolution by Denise Mina The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks 'The Prestige'; 'The Tenth Circle'; 'The Kite Runner'; 'Year of Wonders' I'm re­reading some Maeve Binchy and Debbie Macombre books. Also I listen to books on tape (a lot since I live very rural and every place I want to go is at least 1/2 hour of driving.) On tape I'm reading/listening to THE GODFATHER­II. Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, Any Human Heart by William Boyd, Aenied by Virgil, translated by Fagel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess The Atlas by William T. Vollmann Twilight by William Gay Lee and Bob Woodruff, IN AN INSTANT Jay Baruch, Fourteen Stories Movie review by Anthony Lane in The New Yorker The Greatest Sailing Stories Ever Told From Beirut to Jerusalem 'The Summer of Ordinary Ways' by Nicole Lea Helget 'The Insufficiency of Maps' by Nora Pierce How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer Bring Me Your Saddest Arizona by Ryan Harty A Relative Stranger by Charles Baxter Twilight of the Superheroes by Deborah Eisenberg How Far She Went by Mary Hood The Love of the Last Tycoon, the Bruccoli edition of Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished novel. Some feel it lacks the magic of his previous work, and maybe that's true, but ol' Scottie was working at it hard. Mavis Gallant's Paris Stories, A Collection of Robert Hass' poetry columns, called Now and Then The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. This is my second reading of this book, but I enjoyed it immensely. Mainly because at this time in my life I'm dealing with mental illness in my own family and related so much to his insights into the 'sane' twins responses. Just discovered Pam Houston's short stories. Wow! The Closing of the Western Mind Winter House by Carol O'Connel susan mcdonald, [email protected], nashville Of Mice and Men, newest issue of Wired, a Todd McFarlane's run of Spider­man Drive by James Sallis. I'd like to warn anyone who picks up this novel; either don't sit in the sun or use a strong sunscreen ­­ you won't want to put it down to move into the shade. Caren Cote, Portland, OR James Wright's collected poems 'His Lovely Wife' by Elizabeth Dewberry Teresa Tumminello Brader New Orleans John Irving's Until I Find You Jeffrey Eugenides Middlesex (reading it now) 1 The Birth House We Have To Talk About Kevin The Red Tent Two Lives by William Trevor The Sea by John Banville To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf Robt Fagles' Translation of Virgil's Aeneid Ulysses (yes, I really read it, along with a 24 lecture from The Teaching Company) Michael Cunningham, 'Specimen Days' Ryan Boudinot, 'The Littlest Hitler' Verlyn Klinkenborg, 'Timothy, or Notes of an Abject Reptile' Irene Nemirovsky, 'Chaleur du Sang' in French The Tender Bar by Moehringer, Stuffed by Patricia Volk Primo Levi's 'Se questo e' un uomo' ­ in Italian High Country by Nevada Barr Orient Express by Graham Greene The 1929 World Alamanac and Book of Facts (riveting!) The Children of Men by P.D. James I recently read Hunts in Dreams by Tom Drury, and now I am plowing through Middlemarch­­and I'm surprised by how entertaining it is! Monty Python's Flying Circus, the complete 1st season. George B. Miller, Jr. Newington, CT I loved Robert Goolrick's 'THe End of the World as We Know It' and 'Sword Bird' by Nancy Yi Fan Hannah's Gift, by Maria Housden; The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio, by Terry Ryan The Good Husband of Zebra Drive; Reading Lolita in Tehran I finally read all the Harry Potter books. I'd snobbishly put it off for all these years, but in the end, I had to see what everybody was talking about. The pure depth of J.K. Rowling's imagination is astonishing. Granted, the prose isn't advanced or complex ­ she meant to target children, after all. But her talent is such that she can even draw skeptical adults into Harry's world and make them enjoy it. Now that's impressive. A Perfect Mess by Eric Abrahamson and David H. Freedman Some Things I never Thought I'd Do by Pearl Cleage a wide variety of cook books Newspapers Sacred Texts of the Baha'i Faith the Bible things my children read including graphic novels such as Bone A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute any murder mystery, especially by Agatha Christie or Margret Trueman Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Memory Keepers Daughter, Eat, Love, Pray, At Risk, Murder in Union Station, Suite Francaise, A Year in the World the latest print issue of the paris review, the latest 'issue' of ruined music (online), the biography of frida kahlo.

  • Shirley Hazzard
    N ARRATIVEM AGAZINE. COM Shirley Hazzard A P R O F I L E BY LACY CRAWFORD IN THE FIRST months of 1947, the writer Shirley Hazzard, then sixteen, sailed into Kure, Japan, the port of Hiroshima. The arrival proved indelible. She would later write, “You could just see an arc of coastal shapes, far out from ruined docks, hills with rare lights and a black calligraphy of trees fringing the silhouette of steep islands.” The lines are from her novel The Great Fire, which won the 2003 National Book Award. Much earlier in her career, her fi rst PHOTO COURTESY OF SHIRLEY HAZZARD two books, a story collection, Cliffs of Fall (1963), and a novella, The Evening of the Holiday (1966), had been published almost in their entirety in The New Yorker. William Maxwell, one of the magazine’s longtime fi ction editors, remembered receiving Hazzard’s fi rst story with a little note inside indicating that there was no need to return the manuscript if it was unacceptable for publication. The story “was an astonishment to the editors because it was the work of a fi nished literary artist about whom they knew nothing whatever,” Maxwell recalled. He and Hazzard became close friends, but he never discovered how 1 N ARRATIVEM AGAZINE. COM she learned to write. “She must have gone through a period of apprenticeship of one kind or another, but under whose eyes?” The Great Fire, with its account of postwar Hiroshima and the years that fol- lowed, might have been Hazzard’s answer to Maxwell’s question.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • Philip Roth Biography Appeared Before the Book Came Out, with Major Stories in Magazines and Literary Publications
    Sexual Assault Allegations Against Biographer Halt Shipping of His Roth Book W.W. Norton, citing the accusations that the author, Blake Bailey, faces, said it would stop shipping and promoting his new best-selling book. “Philip Roth: The Biography” went on sale earlier this month.Credit...W.W. Norton, via Associated Press By Alexandra Alter and Rachel Abrams Published April 21, 2021Updated May 17, 2021 Earlier this month, the biographer Blake Bailey was approaching what seemed like the apex of his literary career. Reviews of his highly anticipated Philip Roth biography appeared before the book came out, with major stories in magazines and literary publications. It landed on the New York Times best-seller list this week. Now, allegations against Mr. Bailey, 57, have emerged, including claims that he sexually assaulted two women, one as recently as 2015, and that he behaved inappropriately toward middle school students when he was a teacher in the 1990s. His publisher, W.W. Norton, took swift and unusual action: It said on Wednesday that it had stopped shipments and promotion of his book. “These allegations are serious,” it said in a statement. “In light of them, we have decided to pause the shipping and promotion of ‘Philip Roth: The Biography’ pending any further information that may emerge.” Norton, which initially printed 50,000 copies of the title, has stopped a 10,000-copy second printing that was scheduled to arrive in early May. It has also halted advertising and media outreach, and events that Norton arranged to promote the book are being canceled. The pullback from the publisher came just days after Mr.

  • Cormac Mccarthy's Suttree
    Missing in Portuguese: Prolegomenon to a Translation of Cormac McCarthy‟s Suttree Michael Scott Doyle (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) Missing in Portuguese is a translation of Cormac McCarthy‟s fourth novel, Suttree.1 Why should this be of concern? Because Portuguese is a major world language,2 Cormac McCarthy is one of the most acclaimed contemporary American novelists, and Suttree, published in 1979, is one of his most lauded novels. McCarthy—winner of a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship (1981), also known as the “genius grant,” the National Book Award (1992) and National Book Critics Circle Award (1992) for his novel All the Pretty Horses, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (2007), and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (2007) for The Road—is a high priest among American writers. While eight of his ten novels have been translated into Portuguese—O Guarda do Pomar in 1996 [The Orchard Keeper, 1965], Filho de Deus, 1994 [Child of God, 1974], Meridiano de Sangue, 2006 [Blood Meridian, 1985], Todos os Belos Cavalos, 1993 [All the Pretty Horses, 1992], A Travessia, 1999 [The Crossing, 1994], Cidades da Planície, 2001 [Cities of the Plain, 1998], Onde os Velhos Não Têm Vez, 2007 [No Country for Old Men, 2005] and A Estrada, 2007 [The Road, 2006]—Suttree awaits its rightful rendition into this major literary language as well.3 The translation-to-be will require the talents of a master wordsmith in order to felicitously bring the novel‟s many complexities into Portuguese, and doing so will enrich the library of world literature available in the Portuguese language.
