    PROWLER: Stories by Conor Hultman A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of Mississippi in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College Oxford May 2019 Approved by _________________________________ Advisor: Professor Beth Ann Fennelly _________________________________ Reader: Professor Dustin Parsons _________________________________ Reader: Dr. Kathryn McKee i DEDICATION For Emma Richardson, who got me started, and for Beth Ann Fennelly, who kept me going. ii ABSTRACT CONOR HULTMAN: Prowler: Stories (Under the direction of Beth Ann Fennelly) These are a collection of five short stories. Their common feature is the use of the first-person perspective. The intent of these prose experiments was to find the limitations of the first-person narrative, to see how it could be disfigured and reborn. In preparation, I read several books with my advisor that are known for their strong first-person voices. These included: If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home by Tim O’Brien, Always Happy Hour by Mary Miller, The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker, Birds of America by Lorrie Moore, and The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel. I also undertook personal research, drawing inspiration from the writings of Stephen Dixon and Larry Brown, among others. What I found was that, for all the rules that are often associated with short story writing, successful stories are as unalike as possible. I began to feel I had the right to experiment in every facet of my work. Under the direction of my advisor, I learned to mettle these flights of imagination with sense and taste.

  • In the Middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield Quit the Impressions and Began One of the Most Groundbreaking and Successful Solo Careers in History
    In the middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield quit the Impressions and began one of the most groundbreaking and successful solo careers in history. Nothing happened to force his hand—no dramatic falling out or heated argument. In his customary seat-of-the-pants way, he simply picked up the phone one evening, called fellow Impression Fred Cash, and said, “Fred, I’m going to try to go on my own and see what I can do. You and Sam [Gooden] can do the same thing. Y’all go on your own and see what you can do.” Fred called Sam and told him the news, and that was it. My father left the group. Fred, Sam, and the Impressions, three of the most important forces in my father’s life for more than a decade, no longer occupied his mind. The boyhood dreams, the endless miles traveled on tour, the lonely nights trying to steal sleep in motel beds, the harmonizing and fraternizing all came to an end. Dad struggled with the decision. For years, the three Impressions were so close that if you saw one of them, you usually saw the other two. They spent more time with each other than they did with their own wives. Yet, my father had the ability to turn off his emotions and make cold, calculated business decisions when he felt it necessary. Recalling this side of him, my brother Tracy says, “You saw a good and evil. The evil part came out when it was about business. I always separated the parent from the businessperson.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. the story reJ i Written in response to ‘The Last Five Years’, this musical tells the story of Jacob and Leila Carver, a young Christian couple who are committed to each other and to God. But when married life does not meet his expectations, Jacob leaves home and family to pursue his dreams. The decision shatters Leila, his wife, and Amalia, their daughter. The musical begins with Leila packing boxes. Jacob left a year ago and she is devastated but still trusting that God has a plan (‘Altar’). The story then jumps back in time to the night Jake and Leila meet at a party (She’s/He’s Mine). Jacob is quick to recognize that Leila is special; within a year he proposes and they are married (‘Jericho Road’). Their first year of marriage is not without its challenges (‘Stronger in the Broken Places’), but they soon find out Leila is pregnant, and Jacob’s fears about fatherhood fade when he meets his daughter Amalia (‘Overflowing’).

I have a question about Corner of the Sky. I've seen two different sets of lyrics for it; the one I'm familiar with has the lyrics "Rain comes after thunder; winter comes after fall" while the other one uses "Thunderclouds have their lightning". I learned the one I learned because that's the version my 1983 singing partner Heidi knew. Can you enlighten me about these differing versions? Also, for some strange reason my brain keeps wanting to do "Rivers will run" instead of "Rivers belong" and "Children play in" instead of "Children fit in"-- I think I was doing that back in '83 too. Why do I do that? Did such lyrics ever exist, or is it just my brain acting weird (and if so, should I correct myself?)? …Thank you for all your wonderful contributions both in the music world and on this board, archived messages of which I've been reading the past few days and from which I'm receiving much inspiration and support. -Walter Answer from Stephen Schwartz: Your guess was a good one.
