The obits section is quite misun- derstood. People have a primal fear of death, but 98 percent of the obit has nothing to do with death, but with life. There are maybe two sentences in there about when or where the guy died, and with the rest, you let the person’s life guide the treatment. We like to say it’s the jolliest department in the paper.” —MARGALIT FOX, a senior writer for The New York Times, from an interview in The Paris Review, September 23, 2014 Chapter 1 othing says “You’re going to die alone” like being asked to judge the three-legged race at the Tuttle NCorner Johnnycake Festival because you’re the only one without a partner. Even Mrs. Winterthorne, who had to be at least 127 years old and in a wheelchair, signed up with her nurse, Faye. Never mind that Faye was paid to be there or that she would end up with a shattered pinky toe from old Winterthorne rolling over her repeatedly for twen- ty-five yards, the point is that I didn’t even have someone I could pay to be my partner, let alone someone who’d take a broken toe for me. The sad fact was that I was twenty-four years old and undeniably, catastrophically, alone. And the worst part was that everyone in Tuttle Corner knew why. The day my boyfriend of seven years left me to go find himself, the good people of Tuttle unofficially changed my name from Riley Ellison to Riley Bless-Her-Heart. “Did you hear the Sanford boy left her without an explanation? Poor Riley, bless her heart.” “She’d been so sure they were headed down the aisle...bless her heart.” “It’s been six months and the poor dear can’t seem to get over it. Bless. Her. Heart.” People in Tuttle Corner love to bless your heart. It’s code for anything from an expression of sympathy to a vicious insult, sometimes both at the same time. But most often, this is what people say when they want to call 8 The Good Byline you pathetic but their strict adherence to the Southern be-polite-or-die code won’t let them say that. Not to your face anyway. I knew that in my case when people blessed my heart they mostly meant it in the nice way, the snap- out-of-it-honey way. Which I guess was fair enough. I hadn’t exactly been killing it in the having-a-life department since Ryan left. Besides, you weren’t really in trouble in Tuttle Corner until people start saying that they’ll pray for you. So when I arrived at the festival alone, it took Charlotte Van Stone approximately three seconds to ask if I would judge the race. She was in a panic because Millie Hedron, Tuttle’s most famous spinster and longtime contest judge, had to cancel when one of her Persian cats rolled in a patch of burrs. Apparently the shaving process had been trau- matic for them both. Charlotte zeroed in on me because, as she put it, “Surely you won’t be participating this year?” Then she put a hand over her enormous left breast and added, “Bless your heart.” The festival was as hot and crowded as ever, but that didn’t stop the entire town from turning up. The sun beat down on the white tents and colonial flags that hung on ropes between trees. Vendors sold cornhusk dolls. My par- ents, Skip and Jeanie, otherwise known as the Rainbow Connection, played guitar and sang corncake-themed songs on the main stage, delighting the under-six set with their “corny” puns. And Landry’s General Store (est. 1781) churned a large vat of kettle corn, which permeated the air with its sticky-sweet scent. These were the sights and sounds and smells of my childhood, as familiar and com- forting as an old pair of jeans. It was almost time for the three-legged race, so I be- gan my walk over to the field. On the way I saw my middle school social studies teacher, Mr. Monroe, talking with a Jill Orr 9 girl named Anna, who had been a few years ahead of me in school. She was holding a baby on her hip and breaking off pieces of pink cotton candy for a small girl standing next to them. I smiled and waved at Anna, who sort of half-smiled like she was trying to place me but then looked away when the baby started fussing. I turned my wave into an awkward pretense of itching my neck. Born and raised right here in Tuttle County, I techni- cally knew everyone in town. I could tell you who was kin to whom, which marriages had created which family trees, and who had lived in which houses three generations deep. But knowing people and having friends are two very dif- ferent things. It’s funny, as they can feel quite similar, and yet sometimes you don’t realize how alone you are until your world falls apart and you have no one to turn to except your parents (who are contractually obligated to love you no matter what). The truth is that I had nobody to blame but myself for my current friendless state. Seven years ago, when Ryan Sanford charmed his way into my life, I had allowed all my other friendships to fall away. I didn’t mean for it to hap- pen; he was just the kind of guy who soaked up attention like one of those cloths that can hold six times its weight in water. He took all I had, and I gave it freely because being with Ryan felt like standing in the sun. He radiated confi- dence and charisma, two things I lacked as a young girl.

  • John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection
    Thousand Oaks Library American Radio Archives John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection Introduction The John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection of the American Radio Archives documents Pickard's career in the early days of Australian radio, as well as the collaboration between Pickard and Provo that lasted nearly 40 years, and resulted in radio programs such as Wendy Warren and the News and Young Doctor Malone, as well as television programs such as Concerning Miss Marlowe and From these Roots. Biographies John Pickard was born on April 6, 1910 in Sydney, Australia. He entered the University of Sydney to study law in 1927, yet also acted in plays as a member of the Sydney University Drama Society. It was during this time that Pickard, intrigued by the new medium of radio, tried his hand at writing a radio play titled The Tomb of Osiris. This work was performed on various stations throughout Australia, and is considered by some to be the first original Australian radio play. By 1931, acting in radio productions had become Pickard's main occupation, and he was considered one of the brightest young actors on Australian radio during his tenure with the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) Players, whose performances were broadcast on station 2FC in Sydney. He continued writing and directing plays as well, being promoted to the Head of Drama Productions at the Australian Broadcasting Company in 1933. Pickard wrote series such as Crime Club, and also adapted American programs like One Man's Family, in which he substituted Australian settings, situations, and colloquialisms. By 1935, however, Pickard wanted to try something new and left for the United States in August of that year.

  • Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation Within Genre Television
    Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation within Genre Television by Courtney Suggs A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media Studies Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Katie Foss, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Sally Ann Cruikshank ABSTRACT Using textual genre analysis, this research studied representation in primetime soap operas Scandal, How To Get Away with Murder, and Empire. Two hundred and eighty- three episodes were viewed to understand how black female identity is represented in primetime soap and how genre influences those representation. Using Collins (2009) theory of controlling images, this study found that black female protagonists were depicted as jezebels and matriarchs. The welfare mother stereotype was updated by portrayals of black woman as hard working. Soap opera conventions such as heavy talk helped provide context to stereotypical portrayals while conventions such as melodrama lead to reactive characterization. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION……………………………………………….….....1 Background……………………………………………………...………........3 CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW.....................................................................9 Black Women in Scripted Television…...........................................................9 Television Effects on Viewers……………………………………………....14 CHAPTER III: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK………………………………....18 Representation Theory……………………………………………………...18 Genre Theory……………………………………………………………….19

BY HIS OBLIGED FRIEND AND DEVOTED SERVANT, ANN OF SWANSEA. College-street, Swansea, July 10, 1820. PREFACE. KING Solomon, the very wisest of all wise sages, past, present, and to come, declared, in his day, there was nothing new under the sun: how then can the weak brain of a modern author (ye sons and daughters of fire-eyed Genius, be not, I beseech you, offended; I only mean weak, when compared with the brain of king Solomon) pretend to lead the fastidious critic through paths untrodden before, or present to his lynx-like sight sentiments and incidents unheard of either in prose or verse? The difficulty of twisting, twining, and winding together, three or four volumes, of sufficient interest to attract public attention, is labour that requires an ingenuity few have genius enough to accomplish, and affords a weighty reason why prefaces are growing out of fashion; for an author finds his inventive faculties spun as thin as a cobweb in supplying the requisite number of pages for his story, without wasting his metaphors, sublimity, and brilliance, on a preface.

  • English Renaissance Dream Theory and Its Use in Shakespeare
    THE RICE INSTITUTE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE DREAM THEORY MID ITS USE IN SHAKESPEARE By COMPTON REES, JUNIOR A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Houston, Texas April, 1958 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction .............. 1-3 Chapter I Psychological Background: Imagination and Sleep ............................... 4-27 Chapter II Internal Natural Dreams 28-62 Chapter III External Natural Dreams ................. 63-74 Chapter IV Supernatural Dreams ...................... 75-94 Chapter V Shakespeare’s Use of Dreams 95-111 Bibliography 112-115 INTRODUCTION This study deals specifically with dream theories that are recorded in English books published before 1616, the year of Shakespeare1s death, with a few notable exceptions such as Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy (1621). Though this thesis does not pretend to include all available material on this subject during Shakespeare*s time, yet I have attempted to utilise all significant material found in the prose writings of selected doctors, theologians, translated Latin writers, recognised Shakespeare sources (Holinshed, Plutarch), and other prose writers of the time? in a few poets; and in representative dramatists. Though some sources were not originally written during the Elizabethan period, such as classical translations and early poetry, my criterion has been that, if the work was published in English and was thus currently available, it may be justifiably included in this study. Most of the source material is found in prose, since this A medium is more suited than are imaginative poetry anl drama y:/h to the expository discussions of dreams. The imaginative drama I speak of here includes Shakespeare, of course.

    Search for Tomorrow. An Epimodernist Future for Literature Emmanuel Bouju Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle abstract: “The Future is in the way things are,” says “the Minister of the Future,” Timothy Morton, in a recent exhibition at the Centre de cultura contemporània de Barcelona, After the End of the World. Search for tomorrow: it’s already here and now. So how does contemporary literature address and envision the very possibility of a future as such? This essay argues that there is a reneweddiagonal force of the contem- porary called epimodernism. The epimodernist values are superficiality, secrecy, energy, acceleration, credit, and consistency. These six values are necessary for envisioning any future that doesn’t involve hyperfinance, rating agencies, systematic calculation of behaviors—and their consequences for politics. hen i first heard of the topic for the preparatory workshop of this issue of Dibur Literary Journal, it was said to be “contemporary visions of the future in liter- ature and art.” I don’t know why (maybe because I wanted it to be so) I thought it meantW not “visions of the future in literature and art” (the future within literature, “le futur dans la littérature” in French) but “visions of the future of literature and art” (le futur de la littérature), as in “this literature has no future” (cette littérature n’a pas d’avenir). I’m French. So I was quite optimistic. I do have a vision of the “future of literature and art.” But then I received another e-mail, with the final title: “Contemporary Visionsof the Future.” And I realized it was all about the future in works of literature and art.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.
