  • Paula Fox: a Certain Depth
    loggernaut reading series — spring 2005 Paula Fox: A Certain Depth Paula Fox is a master whose work, by whatever combination of ill luck and oversight prevails in these affairs, did not receive a timely invitation to the canon. The long neglect of her writing has been no one's loss but our own. The winds of attention at last began to shift when, in the mid-nineties, Jonathan Franzen came across her brilliant short novel from 1970, Desperate Characters ("Among the best things we have in contemporary literature"—Shirley Hazzard; "A towering landmark of postwar realism...a sustained work of prose so lucid and fine that it seems less written than carved"—David Foster Wallace), and decided to make it the centerpiece of his essay in Harper's magazine about the state of American fiction. Fox had made quite a successful career as a prolific writer of children's novels, but her novels for adults were out of print. An editor at W.W. Norton read the essay and convinced his colleagues to re-issue Fox's six novels with new introductions by Franzen, Andrea Barrett, Jonathan Lethem, and others. Fox has always had her fans; now they knew they were not alone. When you ask someone today if they've read Paula Fox, they are likely to say "Desperate Characters," and then, after an appreciative pause, make some quiet declaration of awe. Too few readers, however, have enjoyed the skewering insight, the understated humor, the sentence upon perfect sentence, or the absolute aliveness of her five other novels to date.

  • 2011 New York State Writers Hall of Fame Inductees Announced
    2011 New York State Writers Hall of Fame Inductees Announced On Friday, April 1, 2011 the Empire State Center for the Book will induct nine authors into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame. This group will include seven writers who are deceased and two living whose writings have made a lasting contribution to literature. The list includes the following: John Ashbery (1927) Born in Rochester, NY. This American poet has published more than twenty volumes of poetry and won nearly every major American award for poetry, including a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for his collection Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror Willa Cather (1873-1947) a Pulitzer Prize-winning American author who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains, works such as O Pioneers!, My Ántonia, and The Song of the Lark. In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer for One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I. Cather lived in New York for most of her adult life and writing career. Julia DeBurgos (1914-1953) considered by many as the greatest poet to have been born in Puerto Rico. She spent her life between New York and Puerto Rico. On September 14, 2010 the US Postal Service issued a postage stamp in her honor. Ralph Ellison (1914-1994) is best known for his novel, Invisible Man that won the National Book Award in 1953. Paula Fox (1923) born in New York City she writes for both adults and children. Her novel The Slave Dancer (1973) received the Newbery Medal in 1974; and in 1978, she was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal.

  • Hans Christian Andersen Awards Are the Highest International Distinction in Children’S Literature
    HANS CH RISTIAN A NDERSEN A WARDS Christine E. King, Iowa State University The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are the highest international distinction in children’s literature. They are given every other year to a living author and illustrator whose outstanding body of work is judged to have made a lasting contribution to literature for children and young people. The first three awards were made to authors for single works. The author’s award has been given since 1956 and the illustrator’s since 1966. They are presented by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). They have become the “Little Nobel Prize,” and their prestige has grown over the years. Selecting the award win- ners is considered by many to be IBBY’s most important activity. The nominations are made by the National Sections of IBBY, and the recipients are selected by a distinguished international jury of children’s literature specialists. The IBBY emphasizes that the Hans Christian Andersen Awards are not intended to be a national award, but an outstanding international award for chil- dren’s literature. A great effort is made to encourage the submission of candidates from all over the world, and a jury of ten experts is also selected from around the world in order to encourage a diversity of outlook and opinion. The award consists of a gold medal bearing the portrait of Hans Christian Andersen and a diploma and is presented at the opening ceremony of the IBBY Congress. The IBBY’s refereed journal Bookbird has a special Andersen Awards issue which presents all the nominees and documents the selection process.

  • Books for Preconventional Readers PRECONVENTIONAL READERS and BOOK CHARACTERISTICS PRECONVENTIONAL BOOK LIST
    Books for Preconventional Readers Children at the Preconventional stage take their first steps as readers with wordless books. Tana Hoban has written over two dozen wordless books, such as Look! Look! Look! (1992), that spark conversations and focus preconventional readers on details in the illustrations. These appealing texts encourage students to use their oral language to tell stories. Some children can also read simple “label books” with one or two words on a page that match the illustration or photograph. For instance, Growing Colors by Bruce McMillan (1988) includes pictures of objects from nature. The matching label is a color word (e.g., “yellow” for a sunflower). By matching pictures to a word, children begin to focus on print and mimic the reading behaviors of siblings and adults. PRECONVENTIONAL READERS AND BOOK CHARACTERISTICS Student Behaviors Book Characteristics • Begins to choose reading materials (e.g., books, • Illustrations provide strong support. magazines, and charts) and has favorites. • Some texts are wordless. • Shows interest in reading signs, labels, and logos • Some texts have 1–2 words per page.
