    PHILIP ROTH AND THE STRUGGLE OF MODERN FICTION by JACK FRANCIS KNOWLES A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2020 © Jack Francis Knowles, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction in partial fulfillment of the requirements submitted by Jack Francis Knowles for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Examining Committee: Ira Nadel, Professor, English, UBC Supervisor Jeffrey Severs, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Michael Zeitlin, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Lisa Coulthard, Associate Professor, Film Studies, UBC University Examiner Adam Frank, Professor, English, UBC University Examiner ii ABSTRACT “Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction” examines the work of Philip Roth in the context of postwar modernism, tracing evolutions in Roth’s shifting approach to literary form across the broad arc of his career. Scholarship on Roth has expanded in both range and complexity over recent years, propelled in large part by the critical esteem surrounding his major fiction of the 1990s. But comprehensive studies of Roth’s development rarely stray beyond certain prominent subjects, homing in on the author’s complicated meditations on Jewish identity, a perceived predilection for postmodern experimentation, and, more recently, his meditations on the powerful claims of the American nation. This study argues that a preoccupation with the efficacies of fiction—probing its epistemological purchase, questioning its autonomy, and examining the shaping force of its contexts of production and circulation— roots each of Roth’s major phases and drives various innovations in his approach.

  • 35Th Ernest Hemingway Look-Alike Contest (Video)
    35th Ernest Hemingway Look-alike contest (Video) By FloridaKeysNewsBureau Special to SouthFloridaReporter.com, July 24, 2015 – KEY WEST, Fla. — More than 125 stocky white-bearded men resembling Ernest Hemingway are in Key West to compete in the 35th annual “Papa” Hemingway Look-Alike Contest that began Thursday night. Thursday’s competitors included Michael Groover of Savannah, Ga., husband of celebrity chef Paula Deen. Deen was in the audience, cheering Groover on when he was named a semi-finalist. The competition is a highlight of the island’s annual Hemingway Days festival honoring the writing talent, sporting pursuits and colorful lifestyle of the author who lived in Key West during the 1930s. Aspiring Ernests are vying for the prized title of “Papa” during the three-night competition at Sloppy Joe’s Bar, the famed Duval Street saloon that was a hangout for Hemingway and his cohorts. Many entrants are repeat contenders and most dress in sportsman’s garb reminiscent of the author. They parade across Sloppy Joe’s stage before crowds of spectators, attempting to emulate the “Papa” persona adopted by Hemingway in his later years. Contest judges are former winners including Wally Collins of Phoenix, Arizona, a white-bearded restaurateur who triumphed over rivals including his oldest son to take the 2014 title. The competition’s second preliminary round is set for Friday and the 2015 “Papa” is to be chosen Saturday night. Hemingway Days continues through Sunday with events including an offbeat “Running of the Bulls,” the Bacardi Oakheart Key West Marlin tournament and a short story competition directed by author and Hemingway granddaughter Lorian Hemingway.

Mostly, though, I’d like to thank the students who sat in these very seats last year and burst into spontaneous applause as my name was announced, instead of turning to each other and going, “What?!” As my colleagues know, and as you students who will become teachers or even workers in the “real” world will learn, there are days when you’re convinced it could go either way.

    SATURDAY CHURCH A Film by Damon Cardasis Starring: Luka Kain, Margot Bingham, Regina Taylor, Marquis Rodriguez, MJ Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Alexia Garcia, Kate Bornstein, and Jaylin Fletcher Running Time: 82 minutes| U.S. Narrative Competition Theatrical/Digital Release: January 12, 2018 Publicist: Brigade PR Adam Kersh / [email protected] Rob Scheer / [email protected] / 516-680-3755 Shipra Gupta / [email protected] / 315-430-3971 Samuel Goldwyn Films Ryan Boring / [email protected] / 310-860-3113 SYNOPSIS: Saturday Church tells the story of 14-year-old Ulysses, who finds himself simultaneously coping with the loss of his father and adjusting to his new responsibilities as man of the house alongside his mother, younger brother, and conservative aunt. While growing into his new role, the shy and effeminate Ulysses is also dealing with questions about his gender identity. He finds an escape by creating a world of fantasy for himself, filled with glimpses of beauty, dance and music. Ulysses’ journey takes a turn when he encounters a vibrant transgender community, who take him to “Saturday Church,’ a program for LGBTQ youth. For weeks Ulysses manages to keep his two worlds apart; appeasing his Aunt’s desire to see him involved in her Church, while spending time with his new friends, finding out who he truly is and discovering his passion for the NYC ball scene and voguing. When maintaining a double life grows more difficult, Ulysses must find the courage to reveal what he has learned about himself while his fantasies begin to merge with his reality. *** DAMON CARDASIS, DIRECTOR STATEMENT My mother is an Episcopal Priest in The Bronx.

Explore the theme “Saints and Sinners” – to challenge your preconceived ideas of good and evil, of real and imagined places, and of where you believe stories begin and end. The lively weekend of literary offerings features readings, signings, an award-winning production of To Kill a Mockingbird, the renowned Readers’ Theatre performed by Alabama’s best and presentation of the 2014 Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer and the 2014 Eugene Current-Garcia Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Literary Scholar. From Koethi Zan’s timely and explosive tale of women trapped in a torturer’s basement to Charles McNair’s centenarian runaway, we explore survival, salvation, and the need to seek revenge and redemption. Saints and sinners are familiar themes in Alabama’s stories and songs, but this year’s artists find modern perspectives through poetry, personal history, fiction, and film. You’ll be held captive by Sandra Jaffe’s documentary about racially divided schools performingTo Kill a Mockingbird fifty years after its publication, and wonder if it’s okay to laugh when Andrew Hudgins admits that he simply cannot stop telling bad, old jokes. Widows and Wallace-era politics resurface in Robert Inman’s The Governor’s Lady, and Glenn Feldman looks at The Irony of the Solid South. Sena Jeter Naslund and Roy Hoffman share the stories of those we love and those left behind.

In the spring of 2012, drawing upon Portland’s ethic of community engagement and creativity, a public call was sent out for brief written expressions of the times that would reflect upon the egalitarian, utilitarian and civic nature of this new infrastructure project. The call requested short lines of text (fifty characters or less) to be painted onto silt fencing during the temporary Art Starts Now phase and then stamped into sidewalk paving during the permanent Impressed Concrete phase. Eleven hundred submissions were received, and one hundred and two of them were selected as “orange lines” for use in the project through a blind-jury selection process.

Saul Bellow as a Novelist of Ideas: Introduction to the Forum Victoria Aarons Trinity University, San Antonio, TX Gustavo Sánchez-Canales Universidad Autónoma de Madrid On the occasion of his acceptance of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Saul Bellow asked, “What is at the center now?” (2015a: 299). This question gets at the heart of a lifetime of literary attempts to find “the center,” to expose the core of what it means to be human in the volatile, unstable, and explosive twentieth century. In defense of what, for Bellow, was the singular preoccupation of his lengthy and distinguished literary career, he insists that “[o]ut of the struggle at the center has come an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for” (299).

  • Ernest Hemingway
    ANALYSIS Garden of Eden (1986) (unfinished--censored and stolen by Feminists) Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) LITERARY CRIME “The truth about editing the work of a dead writer in such circumstances is that you can only cut to affirm his strengths, to reiterate the strategies of style for which he is known; whereas he himself may have been writing to transcend them. This cannot have been the book Hemingway envisioned… It should have been published for what it is, a piece of something, part of a design.” E. L. Doctorow “Braver than We Thought” The New York Times Book Review (18 May 1986) 1, 44-45 reprinted in Linda Wagner, ed. Ernest Hemingway: Six Decades of Criticism (Michigan State 1987) 330 quoted by Susan M. Seitz “The propriety of publishing, as a commercial endeavor, what a dead writer declined to see into print is, of course, dubious. The previous forages into the Hemingway trove have unfortunately tended to heighten our appreciation not of his talent but of his psychopathology.” John Updike “The Sinister Sex” The New Yorker 30 (June 1986) 85 “Were the scrupulous craftsman still alive, no case of vodka could ease the pain the publication of this novel [The Garden of Eden] would cause [him].” Lorian Hemingway “Ernest Hemingway’s Farewell to Art” Rolling Stone (5 June 1986) 41-42 quoted by Susan M. Seitz The Posthumous Editing of Ernest Hemingway’s Fiction Ph.D. dissertation, University of Massachusetts (1993) “I can report that Hemingway’s publisher has committed a literary crime. There is no way that the manuscript that I read, an extraordinary mass of unfinished work, could have been made into a smooth popular novel without the literary equivalent of ‘colorization’… [Scribner’s] has transformed these unfinished experiments into the stuff of potboilers and pulp….
