You may attach additional pages as needed. Book Summary and summary citation: (suggested resources include book flap summaries, review summaries from publisher, book vendors, etc.) In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in bestselling novelist Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Let the Great World Spin is the critically acclaimed author’s most ambitious novel yet: a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. Corrigan, a radical young Irish monk, struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways.

  • Shirley Hazzard
    N ARRATIVEM AGAZINE. COM Shirley Hazzard A P R O F I L E BY LACY CRAWFORD IN THE FIRST months of 1947, the writer Shirley Hazzard, then sixteen, sailed into Kure, Japan, the port of Hiroshima. The arrival proved indelible. She would later write, “You could just see an arc of coastal shapes, far out from ruined docks, hills with rare lights and a black calligraphy of trees fringing the silhouette of steep islands.” The lines are from her novel The Great Fire, which won the 2003 National Book Award. Much earlier in her career, her fi rst PHOTO COURTESY OF SHIRLEY HAZZARD two books, a story collection, Cliffs of Fall (1963), and a novella, The Evening of the Holiday (1966), had been published almost in their entirety in The New Yorker. William Maxwell, one of the magazine’s longtime fi ction editors, remembered receiving Hazzard’s fi rst story with a little note inside indicating that there was no need to return the manuscript if it was unacceptable for publication. The story “was an astonishment to the editors because it was the work of a fi nished literary artist about whom they knew nothing whatever,” Maxwell recalled. He and Hazzard became close friends, but he never discovered how 1 N ARRATIVEM AGAZINE. COM she learned to write. “She must have gone through a period of apprenticeship of one kind or another, but under whose eyes?” The Great Fire, with its account of postwar Hiroshima and the years that fol- lowed, might have been Hazzard’s answer to Maxwell’s question.

Leitrim in Aug 2012 and 2013 Here’s a taste of what we are reading! Sebastian Barry A long, long way Barely 18, Willie Dunne leaves Dublin in 1914 to fight for the Allied cause, largely unaware of the growing political and religious tensions festering back home. Told in Barry's characteristically beautiful prose, it evokes the camaraderie and humour of Willie and his regiment, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, but also the cruelty and sadness of war, and the divided loyalties that many Irish soldiers felt. Tracing their experiences through the course of the war, the narrative brilliantly explores and dramatises the events of the Easter Rising within Ireland, and how such a seminal political moment came to affect those boys off fighting for the King of England on foreign fields - the paralysing doubts and divisions it caused them.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • Genealogy and Homographesis in the Fiction of Sumner Locke Elliott
    ‘The Writers’ Picnic’: Genealogy and Homographesis in the Fiction of Sumner Locke Elliott SHAUN BELL University of New South Wales I wanted to begin this essay with a well-known anecdote recounting the dinner party Patrick White and Manoly Lascaris held in their Martin Road home for Sumner Locke Elliott. Elliott’s biographer Sharon Clarke suggests that this anecdote is ‘told so often . some have declared it fiction’ (‘Writing Life’ 239).1 As with a fictional event, there are conflicting interpretations of the evening—Clarke called it ‘a great success,’ yet David Marr’s biography of White doesn’t mention the evening at all. White had greatly admired Elliott’s third novel, Edens Lost, calling it ‘marvellous,’ noting the ‘atmosphere and place, tone of voice, and the characters—above all the characters’ (Altman, ‘Crushed’). White had said as much to Elliott’s friend and fellow New Yorker Shirley Hazzard but despite this, the admiration and affection Elliott expected were absent; second hand accounts suggest that it was a ‘quiet’ and ‘awkward’ evening, and Elliott felt ignored. The punchline (as it were) of the anecdote sees Elliott leaving the party dejected. He recounts: After saying our goodbyes, with Patrick standing at the top of the stair, I began walking back down and I heard him cry behind me: ‘Come back! Come back!’ As I was returning to New York within the following days, I thought he meant to Australia and perhaps even to visit with him and Manoly again. So, with my back still to him, and wanting to immediately reassure him, I also called out my reply.
