Intended as a sequel to Talking to My Daughter, this book takes up the challenge (issued by several reviewers) to answer questions such as: If capitalism is upending itself and radical democratization of the economic & political realm is the only humanist solution, how would a democratized, post-capitalist economic & political realm work? How could the superflux (i.e. excess wealth), in King Lear’s terms, be well and truly shaken (i.e. distributed) in the context of a prosperous, rational, attractive society? Another Now provides the answer by conjuring up an alternative present (Alt-P) in which corporations, markets, income streams, the gendered distribution of social roles, money, democratic institutions, arts and the media etc. function radically differently. Set in the year 2025, featuring four fully developed characters the central idea is that, at some point during the 2007/8 financial crisis, the ‘timeline’ branched out in two directions: one leading to the year 2025 in the manner the reader’s present foreshadows and a second trajectory leading, by 2025, to Alt-P; our alternative present. The book will be based on glimpses (or fragments) of Alt-P made available to the protagonist in our (2025) present that will outline not only how economic and political institutions function in the 2025 Alt- P but, also, hint at the events that undermined capitalism (during 2008-2020) along the second trajectory, ushering in (by 2025) the post-capitalist utopia – the Alt-P – that is the book’s theme.

They must have been tracked across Skyline Drive – the backbone of Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. He – for murderers are almost always he’s -- must have watched as they disappeared down that lonely, hidden trail to their secret campsite, where they believed they were safe and secure. How else could he have found them? How else could he have known they were alone? Julie Williams and Lollie Winans were skilled backcountry leaders. This was no crime of passion. He came prepared. And he took his time. He donned gloves, cut and hung long strips of duct tape. He bound their mouths and wrists – first with the tape, then with their own clothes. He hit them again and again with something long and unforgiving – a rod, maybe the butt of a gun. He stripped them naked and separated them, left Lollie in the tent, forced Julie to the bank of the stream. And then, when he was done with them, he killed them both with a single, unhesitating knife stroke to their throats. A Killer on the Trail is an account of the murder of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, the subsequent investigations, and their significance in a long history of violence—particularly against women—in America’s wild places. Readers will be taken inside backcountry investigations, meeting the rangers and wardens first on the scene and following detectives and forensic experts as their inquiry unfolds both on secluded mountain tops and in cutting edge DNA labs. This case remains unsolved but as journalist Kathryn Miles begins investigating this murder, it soon becomes apparent that the story of how Julie Williams and Lollie Winans were murdered, what led their deaths to become one of the most high profile criminal court cases in the United States, and why no one has yet been convicted for their murder is far, far more complicated than anyone had imagined. Kathryn Miles is the long and scenic trails correspondent for Outside Magazine and author of Adventures With Ari (Skyhorse, 2009), All Standing (Free Press, 2013), Superstorm (Dutton, 2014), and Quakeland: On the Road to America’s Next Devastating Earthquake (Dutton, 2017).

  • PHILIP ROTH and the STRUGGLE of MODERN FICTION by JACK
    PHILIP ROTH AND THE STRUGGLE OF MODERN FICTION by JACK FRANCIS KNOWLES A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2020 © Jack Francis Knowles, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction in partial fulfillment of the requirements submitted by Jack Francis Knowles for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Examining Committee: Ira Nadel, Professor, English, UBC Supervisor Jeffrey Severs, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Michael Zeitlin, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Lisa Coulthard, Associate Professor, Film Studies, UBC University Examiner Adam Frank, Professor, English, UBC University Examiner ii ABSTRACT “Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction” examines the work of Philip Roth in the context of postwar modernism, tracing evolutions in Roth’s shifting approach to literary form across the broad arc of his career. Scholarship on Roth has expanded in both range and complexity over recent years, propelled in large part by the critical esteem surrounding his major fiction of the 1990s. But comprehensive studies of Roth’s development rarely stray beyond certain prominent subjects, homing in on the author’s complicated meditations on Jewish identity, a perceived predilection for postmodern experimentation, and, more recently, his meditations on the powerful claims of the American nation. This study argues that a preoccupation with the efficacies of fiction—probing its epistemological purchase, questioning its autonomy, and examining the shaping force of its contexts of production and circulation— roots each of Roth’s major phases and drives various innovations in his approach.

Saul Bellow as a Novelist of Ideas: Introduction to the Forum Victoria Aarons Trinity University, San Antonio, TX Gustavo Sánchez-Canales Universidad Autónoma de Madrid On the occasion of his acceptance of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Saul Bellow asked, “What is at the center now?” (2015a: 299). This question gets at the heart of a lifetime of literary attempts to find “the center,” to expose the core of what it means to be human in the volatile, unstable, and explosive twentieth century. In defense of what, for Bellow, was the singular preoccupation of his lengthy and distinguished literary career, he insists that “[o]ut of the struggle at the center has come an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for” (299).

  • The Obedient Bellow APRIL 28, 2011
    The Obedient Bellow APRIL 28, 2011 Edward Mendelson Saul Bellow: Letters edited by Benjamin Taylor Viking, 571 pp., $35.00 In almost everything he wrote, Saul Bellow asserted his authority as artist, thinker, moralist, and lover. His admirers rejoiced in his authority and celebrated a new kind of dominant voice in American fiction: expansively ambitious, philosophical, and demotic, the voice of a moralizing comic hero unlike anything in the genteel or frontier traditions. “Someone has to stand up for Jews and democrats,” he said in a letter, “and when better champions are lacking, squirts must do what they can.” His detractors, meanwhile, rejected his authority, writing whole books denouncing him as if he were a lecherous and corrupt literary tyrant. Both sides misunderstood him. His letters make clear what was always implicit in his fiction, that he asserted his authority half-unwillingly and only as a last resort—because those who ought to be in charge had failed in the job, or had given it up entirely. In Mr. Sammler’s Planet (1970), he writes: Mr. Sammler was testy with White Protestant America for not keeping better order. Cowardly surrender. Not a strong ruling class. Eager in a secret humiliating way, to come down and mingle with all the minority mobs, and scream against themselves. And the clergy? Beating swords into plowshares? No, rather converting dog collars into G strings. Bellow accepts a friend’s judgment that he is an outlaw, but adds: “In outlaw bravado I have no interest. I only meant that I wish to obey better laws.” That celebrated rebel Augie March, Bellow explains to another friend, has the same wish to obey: Augie misses the love, harmony and safety that should compensate our obedience….

  • Saul Bellow in His Times
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10893-6 — The Cambridge Companion to Saul Bellow Edited by Victoria Aarons Excerpt More Information VICTORIA AARONS Introduction: Saul Bellow in His Times Saul Bellow, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature (1976), remains one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century. A defining voice of post- World War II America, Bellow continues to be a celebrated icon of twentieth- century letters, a writer whose penetrating prose has influenced writers and readers in America and abroad since the late 1940s. Bellow’s novels, begin- ning with Dangling Man (1944) and concluding with Ravelstein (2000), span over half a century and reflect the erratic, mutating, and often torturous political, cultural, and intellectual character of his times. Bellow’s literary oeuvre articulates some of the most significant cultural experiences of the American twentieth century. His fiction represents and comments on some of the century’s major cultural events and issues: the urban experience of European immigrants, especially Jewish immigrants; the socio-cultural ascendance of an influential Jewish middle-class; the ideological seductions of Marxism and Modernism; the tensions between residual European intel- lectual culture and emergent popular culture; the fraught failures of the Vietnam War; the changing attitudes about gender and race; the “culture wars” in 1990s America; and the underlying fault-lines of anti-Semitism. Moreover, the span of Bellow’s career witnessed the impact in America of the Holocaust: as Bellow once put it, “a crime so vast that it brings all Being into Judgment.”1 Bellow’s fiction casts its moral gaze upon the spectacle of a civilization in anxious flux, the spinning out-of-control of its impelling desires.

  • The Other Susan Sontag | the New Yorker
    12/16/2017 The Other Susan Sontag | The New Yorker A Critic at Large December 11, 2017 Issue The Other Susan Sontag Her essays emanated authority, but her ction betrayed an aching sense of uncertainty. By Tobi Haslett eriousness, for Susan Sontag, was a ashing machete to swing at the thriving vegetation of American S philistinism. The philistinism sprang from our barbarism—and our barbarism had conquered the world. “Today’s America,” she wrote in 1966, “with Ronald Reagan the new daddy of California and John Wayne chawing spareribs in the White House, is pretty much the same Yahooland that Mencken was describing.” Intellectuals, doomed to tramp through an absurd century, were to inict their seriousness on Governor Reagan and President Johnson—and on John Wayne, spareribs, and the whole shattered, voluptuous culture. The point was to be serious about power and serious about pleasure: cherish literature, relish lms, challenge domination, release yourself into the rapture of sexual need—but be thorough about it. “Seriousness is really a virtue for me,” Sontag wrote in her journal after a night at the Paris opera. She was twenty-four. Decades later, and months before she died, she mounted a stage in South Africa to declare that all writers should “love words, agonize over sentences,” “pay attention to the world,” and, crucially, “be serious.” Only a gure of such impossible status would dare to glorify a mood. Here was a woman who had barged into the culture with valiant attempts at experimental ction (largely unread) and experimental cinema (largely unseen) and yet whose blazing essays in Partisan Review and The New York Review of Books won her that rare combination of https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/the-other-susan-sontag 1/16 12/16/2017 The Other Susan Sontag | The New Yorker aesthetic and moral prestige.
