  • Footnotes in Fiction: a Rhetorical Approach
    FOOTNOTES IN FICTION: A RHETORICAL APPROACH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Edward J. Maloney, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James Phelan, Adviser Professor Morris Beja ________________________ Adviser Professor Brian McHale English Graduate Program Copyright by Edward J. Maloney 2005 ABSTRACT This study explores the use of footnotes in fictional narratives. Footnotes and endnotes fall under the category of what Gérard Genette has labeled paratexts, or the elements that sit above or external to the text of the story. In some narratives, however, notes and other paratexts are incorporated into the story as part of the internal narrative frame. I call this particular type of paratext an artificial paratext. Much like traditional paratexts, artificial paratexts are often seen as ancillary to the text. However, artificial paratexts can play a significant role in the narrative dynamic by extending the boundaries of the narrative frame, introducing new heuristic models for interpretation, and offering alternative narrative threads for the reader to unravel. In addition, artificial paratexts provide a useful lens through which to explore current theories of narrative progression, character development, voice, and reliability. In the first chapter, I develop a typology of paratexts, showing that paratexts have been used to deliver factual information, interpretive or analytical glosses, and discursive narratives in their own right. Paratexts can originate from a number of possible sources, including allographic sources (editors, translators, publishers) and autographic sources— the author, writing as author, fictitious editor, or one or more of the narrators.

  • Discussion About Jack Vance
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with John Vance II (April 2020) John H. Vance II is the only child of Jack and Norma Vance. And raised three children in the house that he and his father built with their own hands. He is now an “empty-nester” living in the old house with his fiancé, four cats and a dog (and the house remains a work in progress). John has worked actively with fans to preserve and promote his father's work, starting with Paul Rhoads in 1999, an association which led to publication of a subscription-funded set of 44 volumes known as the Vance Integral Edition, now sought after by collectors and hardcore fans alike. John manages his father's legacy through the publishing company Spatterlight Press LLC. John made his career designing and operating submersible systems and other marine equipment. Robert Matthew Knuckles: Vance's "Dying Earth" is often cited as the inspiration for the Magic System of earlier Editions of Dungeons & Dragons. How did he feel about the level of influence he had on such a phenomenally popular game and its many imitators? He was hardly aware of it. After a letter or two with Gary Gygax at the start he had little feedback, and of course zero income from the situation—so he had no way of knowing. Aldo Defraites: My question is this: When will Night Lamp be released on Kindle? Great book! Loved it Aldo, you can purchase and download .epub or .prc files of Night Lamp right now, on jackvance.com under our Spatterlight Press imprint.

  • Wortschmied Und Weltenschöpfer Jack Vance Wird Achtzig
    Andreas Irle Wortschmied und Weltenschöpfer Jack Vance wird achtzig 1996 2 Andreas Irle Wortschmied und Weltenschöpfer 3 Im August 1996 feierte Jack Vance seinen achtzigsten Geburts- tag. Ich kann ihn mir gut vorstellen, wie er vor einem Glas Granatapfelwein sitzt und über sein Leben und sein Werk nach- denkt. Achtzig Lebensjahre, davon über fünfzig als Schriftstel- ler: In der Tat, letztes Jahr jährte sich der Verkauf seiner ersten Geschichte zum fünfzigsten Mal. Grund genug (wieder) einmal über Jack Vance nachzudenken, zumal da auch sein neuer Ro- man »Nachtlicht« seine Schatten vorauswirft. Einige der Werkinhalte sind kurz skizziert, um jene, die Vance nicht kennen, neugierig zu machen; und jene, die ihn kennen und mögen, anzuregen, die ein oder andere Geschichte noch einmal zu lesen. Mann und Mythos Jack Vance (richtiger Name: John Holbrook Vance) wurde am 28. August 1916 als Sohn von Charles Albert und Edith (Hoef- ler) Vance in San Francisco geboren. Er wuchs auf einer Ranch im San Joaquin Valley in Kalifornien auf und besuchte die University of California in Berkeley, wo er Bergbau, Physik und Journalismus studierte. Während und nach dem 2.
