KONIGSBURG JERZY KÓSINSKI ALEX KOTLOWITZ There’s a story that needs to be told: the story of the extraordinary men and women who have created the written works that have shaped our society since its inception and have informed, inspired and entertained us. Welcome to the American Writers Museum, the first and only museum of its kind in the United States. Opening in Chicago in March 2017, this vibrant, interactive museum will celebrate the lives and works of America’s great writers, and their influence on our history and our culture. • Permanent exhibits will feature your favorite works and tell the story of your favorite writers, whether they wrote non-fiction or fiction, plays or poetry. • Special galleries will showcase exhibits and artifacts on loan from our nation’s historic writers’ homes, joining with our museum to tell the behind-the-scenes stories of our great writers. • Diverse educational programs and special events will promote literacy and foster a love of reading and writing. In the pages that follow, you can explore the concept design for the museum. We invite you to join in the celebration. Amazon.com CHAPTER 1. Loomings. CALL ME ISHMAEL. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

  • 'Re-Borderisation' in the South-Western Novels of Ana Castillo and Cormac Mccarthy
    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, nº 12 (2007), pp. 21-37 ‘RE-BORDERISATION’ IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN NOVELS OF ANA CASTILLO AND CORMAC MCCARTHY. PETER CARR Swansea University, UK Two novels of the US/Mexican borderlands published in the early 1990s achieved notable mainstream success and critical acclaim –So Far From God by Ana Castillo (first published in 1993) and All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy (first published 1992). Here were two ostensibly very different South-Western novels which nevertheless managed to achieve a singular effect: in each case it was this novel that thrust an established, but limited-appeal, writer out of the gloom of academic readership and into the glare of mainstream literary celebrity. These texts, then, are crossover novels in two senses. They are of the margins in the sense that as novels of the borderlands they each deal with the interface of Mexican and Anglo cultures but they are also of the centre in that their multicultural narratives have been embraced by the mainstream. This paper argues two main points. The first is that the mainstream consumer-appeal of these novels –their successful commodification of multicultural images– actually relies upon the subtle repetition of myths of the borderlands in ways that that reinforce ethnic and cultural stereotypes. The second argument is that this process in the novels is part of a general mainstream ‘reborderization’ in the US in the early-to mid-1990s: a reactionary response to the perceived erosion of traditional concepts of national identity in an era dominated by post-modern trans- boundary forces exemplified by initiatives such as the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Hall has written children’s books, books on baseball, autobiographical works, short stories and plays. Poetry editor of The Paris Review during its early years, Hall’s list of anthologies and awards is extensive. The Library of Congress deliberately avoids attaching specific duties to the post of Poet Laureate.

  • With Jane and Without: an Interview with Donald Hall, Non-Fiction By
    With Jane and Without: An Interview with Donald Hall By Jeffrey S. Cramer ANYONE KENYON ACQUAINTED cannot help but stand WITH in awe THE of the STORY irony which, OF if DONALD it HALL AND JANE appeared in fiction, would appall by its tear-jerking manipulation. The reality, as I stand before Jane Kenyon's grave, leaves me sad dened and numb. The lines on their shared stone are from Kenyon's poem, "After noon at MacDowell. " Although she wrote it with Hall in mind when he, as he has said, was ''supposed to die," they now stand in testimony to Kenyon, and look, mistakenly, like words he must have written for her: I BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLES OF ART BUT WHAT PRODIGY WILL KEEP YOU SAFE BESIDE ME Four miles North of the Proctor cemetery on Route 4, just past Eagle Pond Road, in the shadow of Ragged Mountain, is Eagle Pond Farm. There is no sign, no name on the mailbox, but the satellite dish over whelming the North side yard announces the home of a man who cannot live unconnected to his beloved baseball games. The living room seems truly a living room, a room lived in, infor mal. It is surrounded, as would be expected, by books; an open book of pictures of sculpture by Henry Moore lays on the coffee table in front of the couch on which I sit. By the window Hall's chair faces the T.V. and VCR which must have received, recorded and replayed thousands of ballgames. The Glenwood stands nearby.
