Archivist Thomas J. Wood and stu- dent assistant Meredith Keating have added to this inventory a care- fully documented introduction tracing the history of the Handy Writ- ers' Colony, a chronology of the lives and works of James Jones and other colony writers, a list of Colony students, a section of his- toric photographs, and a selective bibliography of works by and about writers associated with the Colony. The preface is by John Bowers, a former colony member and author of the memoir, The Colony. The body of the guide provides an item-by-item inventory of the correspondence of James Jones and Lowney Handy, and a folder listing of manuscripts, personal papers, photographs, and publications included in the collection. An index is included to provide quick access to the contents of the guide. Acknowledgment of those who made this guide possible must begin with Margaret Turner, the wife of the late Harold Turner, brother of Lowney Handy. Margaret Turner preserved the Handy Colony Collection and donated it to Sangamon State University. Without her trust and generosity, and that of the Turner family generally, the collection would not have been established. The arrangements for the gift of the collection to SSU were made by J. Michael Lennon and Jeffrey Van Davis during the taping of interviews for the television documentary "James Jones: From Reveille to Taps." Lennon, professor of English at SSU, is curator of the collection. Special thanks are due to Lennon and Davis for bringing the collection to Sangamon State Uni- versity and making it available for scholarly use. The compilers of the guide also gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the following individuals who were responsible for the initial assembling of the collection: Steve Dykema, David Antoine, Ray Schroeder, William Furry, and Frank MacShane; also former uni- versity archives staff members Nancy Hunt, Elsebeth Buckley, and Annette Hunsaker. Marilyn Huff, Brian Alley, John Bowers, Larry Dale, Norman Hinton, and Greg Randle deserve special gratitude for their assistance in the production and publication of the guide. PREFACE by John Bowers To see the catalogue of letters to and from Lowney Handy, to read once again the titles of colony manuscripts, to hear the roll- call of colony writers and would-be writers and hangers-on of one kind or another, brings back in a most bittersweet way being at the Handy Colony in 1952-53 and calls to mind being affected by it for the rest of one's life. Lowney Handy was unlike anyone else I've ever met--before or since. Even now it is nearly impossible to compare her to anyone else, but two aspects of her character need to be pointed out in order to begin to understand her. She was self-educated and she was fiercely maternalistic. Now James Jones was more or less self- educated too, but he kept to more traditional paths than Lowney Handy. Lowney was so distinct, so self-willed, so everlastingly at center-stage and unusual that when one who was there thinks back, one thinks first of Lowney Handy. She blots out the landscape around. Jim would swig a brew with you, get maudlin over kids, corn- pete with you in arm-wrestling and pool, and seemed no better or worse than any other man who had just written a classic best-seller and was raking in thousands upon thousands and rave reviews. Lowney was different--very different. And so when I now begin this preface to the Handy Writers' Col- ony Collection, my thoughts go first to her, not Jim. I see her now. She had an outwardly sunny disposition (on first meeting). Her white-toothed smile, her large moist dancing eyes, her wild breathy tumble of words, could stop you dead in your tracks. You were bowled over by her enthusiasm and sheer animal energy. Yet once you stayed around her for awhile you saw the other side. Beneath the glow was a much darker persona. She seethed with hurt and anger and deep dissatisfaction. And here is where her self- education came into play. She found answers to her troubles from eclectic sources--from Far Eastern religious tracts, Tom Uzzell's Narrative Techniques, a smattering of modern fiction, the Bible, old wives tales, folk art, family lore, and God knows what else. She churned up her sources and came out with her own peculiar philosophy about life and art. Life and art combined with her. We neophyte writers at the colony (and selected veterans there) copied word for word the prose of those masters in her favor (Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dos Passos, and Tess Schlessinger) and we ate cottage cheese every day and were encouraged to hook ourselves up to enemas, something that

  • Throughout His Writing Career, Nelson Algren Was Fascinated by Criminality
    RAGGED FIGURES: THE LUMPENPROLETARIAT IN NELSON ALGREN AND RALPH ELLISON by Nathaniel F. Mills A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alan M. Wald, Chair Professor Marjorie Levinson Professor Patricia Smith Yaeger Associate Professor Megan L. Sweeney For graduate students on the left ii Acknowledgements Indebtedness is the overriding condition of scholarly production and my case is no exception. I‘d like to thank first John Callahan, Donn Zaretsky, and The Ralph and Fanny Ellison Charitable Trust for permission to quote from Ralph Ellison‘s archival material, and Donadio and Olson, Inc. for permission to quote from Nelson Algren‘s archive. Alan Wald‘s enthusiasm for the study of the American left made this project possible, and I have been guided at all turns by his knowledge of this area and his unlimited support for scholars trying, in their writing and in their professional lives, to negotiate scholarship with political commitment. Since my first semester in the Ph.D. program at Michigan, Marjorie Levinson has shaped my thinking about critical theory, Marxism, literature, and the basic protocols of literary criticism while providing me with the conceptual resources to develop my own academic identity. To Patricia Yaeger I owe above all the lesson that one can (and should) be conceptually rigorous without being opaque, and that the construction of one‘s sentences can complement the content of those sentences in productive ways. I see her own characteristic synthesis of stylistic and conceptual fluidity as a benchmark of criticism and theory and as inspiring example of conceptual creativity.

  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.

  • The Golden Man” / Jeremy Pierce
    “THE GOLDEN MAN” / JEREMY PIERCE Imagine being able to predict the future to anticipate any eventuality. No one could surprise you. You could prevent any attempt to harm you, knowing the consequences of any possible action. In several Philip K. Dick stories, people or machines are described as predicting the future. In “The Golden Man,” it’s a mutated human being named Cris Johnson, living in a post-nuclear United States where many people have mutations that usually just leave them labeled as freaks. “Paycheck” has a machine doing the same thing, and “Minority Report” has precogs. All are described as predicting the future, but in all three cases “the future” predicted can be prevented if the person seeing that future does something that changes the outcome. A more precise way of describing these predictions is that they allow the viewer to see what would have happened had the prediction not occurred. Once the prediction occurs, the viewer can do something to lead to a different outcome. In “Minority Report,” Precrime prevents the predicted deaths. In “Paycheck,” Jennings anticipates how he’ll respond once his memories are erased and gives himself clues to stop the machine’s original predictions from happening. In “The Golden Man,” Cris Johnson can pursue the consequences of any course of action he might take, allowing him to opt for the path that he most prefers. Cris has a covering of fine, golden hair. Most mutants in this post-nuclear world are seen as freaks, referred to as “deeves” (short for deviants). Most mutations are harmful or unattractive.

  • Aron Dunlap & Joshua Ramey1
    THE MYSTICAL TEXT SOPHIA WITHIN, WITHOUT SOPHIA, WHITHER SOPHIA: THE LONGING OF PHILIP K. DICK Aron Dunlap & Joshua Ramey1 “Tired of lazy tastebuds?” Runciter said in his familiar gravelly voice. “Has boiled cabbage taken over your world no matter how many dimes you put into your stove? Ubik changes all that; Ubik wakes up food flavor, puts hearty taste back where it belongs, and restores fine food smell . One invisible puff-puff whisk of economically priced Ubik banishes compulsive obsessive fears that the entire world is turning into clotted milk, worn-out tape recorders and obsolete iron-cage elevators, plus other, further, as-yet- unglimpsed manifestations of decay. You see, world deterioration of this regressive type is a normal experience of many half-lifers, especially in the early stages when ties to the real reality are still very strong. A sort of lingering universe is retained as a residual charge, experienced as a pseudo environment but highly unstable and unsupported by any ergic substructure. This is particularly true when several memory systems are fused, as in the case of you people. But with today’s new, more-powerful-than-ever Ubik, all this is changed!” 2i 1 In the following text, Arabic numerals refer to our commentarial footnotes and Roman numerals refer to the bibliographic endnotes. 2 Where are we? Whither Sophia? Characters do not find themselves, in the novels of Philip K. Dick, at the level of a reality that can be accepted as real, but are constantly attempting to attain to that real, to follow an Ariadne’s thread back to something that could be counted on not to lie.
