    Voice of the Moment: Henry Miller’s Paris Notebooks and the Problem of Autobiographical Fiction Eric D. Lehman Department of English, School of Arts and Sciences University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT Abstract Research Goals In 2010 Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book and My work at Yale’s Beinecke library has already Manuscript Library acquired Henry Miller’s three involved a careful reading of the documents, which “Paris Notebooks,” which have been in private along with many handwritten rough drafts, include hands and read by only a few scholars over the past diary entries, pasted in typed drafts, and even ninety years. They are a working writer’s hodge- watercolor pictures. The handwritten sections of the podge of undated diary entries, descriptions of journals present various problems of transcription and places and people, lists, letters, rough drafts, and interpretation, but even the typed sections require unpublished pieces. After close examination of the serious comparative analysis. In addition to the newly manuscripts, I assessed that these pages offer available journals, I will go back to other primary important insights, and I am writing a critical sources, the letters and ephemera, to put together a biography to expose their impact. The notebooks truer picture of his life and work during this crucial shed particular light on Miller’s process, which literary transformation. seems far less “inspired” or “prophetic” and much more “workmanlike” than previously imagined. My preparations and qualifications for this project include numerous critical essays in Nexus: The The first published result of this process, Tropic of International Henry Miller Journal and a chapter in Cancer, inspired generations of authors to write Henry Miller: New Perspectives (Bloomsbury, 2015).

Mr. Sean Bell Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies (LCAPS) Liverpool John Moores University [email protected] 0151 231 5160 Dr. Yarin Eski Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies (LCAPS) Liverpool John Moores University [email protected] 0151 231 5160 ‘To not have your suffering recognised is an almost unbearable form of violence.’ Andrei Lankov The theatrical saying ‘break a leg’ is one of luck. However, one of the authors, being a police officer and Police Federation representative and advocate for officers with ill (mental) health, often hears the words used in somewhat different, more macabre circumstances. ‘Break a leg and you will get some sympathy, mention stress or depression and people think you are swinging the lead.’ Most officers are reluctant to discuss the matter with colleagues as they fear there is a taboo associated with this type of illness. Often they are wary of informing line managers, which can delay support and potential interventions, and could subsequently, prevent the matter escalating. This paper will first and foremost raise awareness of the problematique of mental health issues and related stigmas that exist in the police profession. As shall become clear, there is insufficient research in this field, making a strong case for police forces and academics to work in tandem to better understand the issue and make recommendations to address this problem and possible salvations.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

The Draft Amendment proposes a fundamental change in tautog management, moving away from management on a coastwide basis towards regional management. In addition, Draft Amendment 1 proposes the establishment of a commercial harvest tagging program, as well as new goals and objectives, biological reference points and fishing mortality targets, and a stock rebuilding schedule. Specifically, Draft Amendment 1 proposes delineating the stock into four regions due to differences in biology and fishery characteristics, as well as limited coastwide movement.

One of their most unfortunate common traits was their lack of acceptance by the literary establishment. Both of them had unfair one-dimensional reputations which largely have remained intact, years after their deaths. For example, Miller was always seen as a writer of "dirty books," his early master­ pieces such as Tropic of Cancer being regarded by many as little more than the literary equivalent of a raunchy stag film. Kerouac was viewed by many critics, and much of the pUblic, as nothing more than a hard-drinking, hell-raising hoodlum transcribing the "hep" aphorisms of his "beatnik" friends.

    BANNED BOOKS WEEK September 24-October 1, 2005 American Civil Liberties Union • www.aclu.org/banned2005 A History of Fighting Censorship 2004: Robert Cormier's "The Chocolate War" tops the list of most challenged books of 2004, according to the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom. Parents and others complained about the book's sexual content, offensive lan- guage, religious viewpoint and violence. This year marks the first in five in which the Harry Potter series does not top or appear on the ALA's annual list. The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom received a total of 547 challenges (defined as formal, written complaints, filed with libraries or schools requesting that the material be removed because of content or appropriateness) last year, compared with 458 the year before. The number of challenges reflects only incidents reported, and for each report- ed, four or five remain unreported. 2003: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's Alice series – about a fictional character coping with many of the problems young girls experience “growing up” in such books as “Achingly Alice,” “Alice in Lace,” and “Alice on the Outside” – topped the list of most challenged books of 2003, ending the four-year reign of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, accord- ing to the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom. As usual, Judy Blume’s outputs such as “Forever” and “Then Again, Maybe I Won’t” came in for challenges. The Alice series drew complaints from parents and others concerned about the books' sexual content. “Achingly Alice” was restricted in one district, for instance, to students with signed parental permission.
