Ten years later Cheever wrote of the wedge from within, of brothers divided not by cloying intimacy but by angry differences, and again conformity and nostalgia play major roles. Cheever wore his masks for fun, for disguises he thought necessary, for the sake of telling his stories. I saved them because they were important to Grandpa and therefore they're important to me and because I don't have much that belonged to Grandpa and I understand even less about him and because I don't like people telling me that what's not important to them must not be important to me as well. His letters range from amusing to melancholy to heartbreaking, and I imagine reading these as his family would have been even better and harder in ways I can't entirely understand because I don't have that experience with my family.

In the next scene, Jerry and George go to the Ross apt to bring back some sunglasses. Letters of John Cheever Reviews Drawing on GIs' wartime letters, extensive interviews with gay veterans, and declassified military documents, Berube thoughtfully constructs a startling history of the two wars gay military men and women fough--one for America and another as homosexuals within the military. His accent beautified into a veritable flute. He asks for the one kind of liquor not in the house, refers to his sister's new friend as "the one she's sleeping with now," pesters the cook about wages and unions, and forecasts the imminent demise of the cottage: "If you had an unusually high sea, a hurricane sea, the wall could crumble and the house would go. Cosmo Kramer Jason Alexander An example: "His observations were bound to include the facts that backgammon is an idle game He intimates as much in the second paragraph: "I teach secondary school, and I am past the age where I expect to be made headmaster. The Letters of john Cheever , edited by his son Benjamin Cheever, was published in Letters from a Stoic. We realized after the fact that during her move, she and one of my uncles threw away a lot of Grandpa's personal items - all of his military records, letters, awards, and I assume photographs as well - are all gone now. At one of my visits to Grandma a couple years ago, she pulled out an old cardboard Tootsie Roll box that used to belong to Grandpa. Cheever originally conceived of it as a novel before paring it down from pages to Berube's book, the inspiration for the Peabody Award-winning documentary film of the same name, has become a classic since it was published in , just three years prior to the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which has continued to serve as an uneasy compromise between gays and the military. Susan Ross invites George to dinner to meet her parents and he's worried about what to say when the subject of the now destroyed cabin comes up.

Now it will. About four-fifths of his oeuvre is set in or around his hometown. Quotes [ first lines ] Jerry Seinfeld : I don't think people think of their office as a workplace. The house was the same, but filled with a different sort of sound - the Bose stereo in the kitchen incessantly playing country music replaced the sound of game shows Grandpa used to watch on the TV in the living room. He can seem glib and distant, a composer of brilliant sentences yet strangely uncommitted to his characters. Laura Durnell rated it liked it Nov 28, One or more daughters turn up in seven stories, a single son fills out the cast of three, sister- brother combinations figure in five more, and in several others there are references to unnamed offspring of still lesser stature. Sort order. In the months before he died, Zimmer, who was impoverished and recently divorced, moved into Cheever's house. Chesnick, Eugene. But details of this sort begin to pile up. Book-length studies of Cheever's work are perhaps naturally weighted toward the novels rather than the approximately stories, with their more limited individual focus and field of play. Jerry and George finally get back to working on the pilot, but Kramer comes in, which they welcome with open arms for a change. In high school or college I remember my mom had started to go through some of the things from her past, and she sat and showed me some items - photos, letters from ex-lovers, a short story a friend wrote that was inspired by her - but she refused to let me keep any of it. Sound Mix: Stereo. He begs her not to tell Elaine about this, but she indicates that wont be the case. But then she wanted to throw some of the photos away, the ones she didn't approve of: some disturbing images from the war, some ex-girlfriends, some that she just didn't understand.

  • A Companion to American Literature]
    Journal of Transnational American Studies 10.2 (Winter/Spring 2019–20) Reprise Connecting a Different Reading Public: Compiling [A Companion to American Literature] Yu Jianhua Shanghai International Studies University At the end of 2015, ten years after the project was initiated, A Companion to American Literature was finally published by Commercial Press in Beijing. This was the first attempt in Chinese academia at compiling a large-scale handbook covering foreign literature published in China and in Chinese. The Companion provides readers in China with easy access to sources in order for them to gain a better understanding of three hundred years of American literature. It includes well-known authors and their major works, literary historians and critics, literary journals, awards, organizations and movements, as well as terminologies such as “tall tale” and “minstrel show” that are unique to American literature. We started in a small way in 2003 after a suggestion from Fudan University Press that we provide a handy companion on American literature for Chinese undergraduates and graduate students. After American Literature: Authors and Their Works was published in 2005, a more ambitious plan emerged for a new handbook that was to be more comprehensive, and one that was to be written in Chinese for Chinese readers. The proposition received financial support from the Shanghai International Studies University Research Fund, and later, The National Social Science Fund of China, with more than thirty professors and young scholars participating in the project. After decisions were made in regard to the general layout and entries, we set to work, each responsible for an area that he or she specialized in, and together we contributed to the project that came to fruition ten years later.

Charles Bassett Colby College Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/colbymagazine Recommended Citation Bassett, Charles (1999) "The Canon Debate: What Makes You Think That Book is So Great?," Colby Magazine: Vol. 88 : Iss. 1 , Article 7. Available at: https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/colbymagazine/vol88/iss1/7 This Contents is brought to you for free and open access by the Colby College Archives at Digital Commons @ Colby. It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Magazine by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. F irst of al I, in a burst of uncharacteristic humi I ity, let me confess that I did not aspire to share these words with the learned body of Colby alumni. The genesis of this article was a speech to some of the best and brightest students at Colby, the Dana and Bixler Scholars-an audience willing to show up on a Friday night in October to hear me do something besides read ghost stories. My title for that speech was "The Literary Canon and How It Works"; it should have been" Literary Canons and How They Work." In 1999, I think that most of us will agree that we have no unique literary canon that all readers in the world understand as absolute, transcendent and beyond debate. Thus, I should more accurately speak of canons, except that when I mentioned this plural title to one of my more literal students, he asked how I got interested in artillery.
