    In the Kingdom of Men Kim Barnes is the author of two memoirs and two previous novels, including A Country Called Home , which received the 2009 PEN Center USA Literary Award in fiction and was named a best book of 2008 by The Washington Post , the Kansas City Star and The Oregonian . She is the recipient of the PEN/Jerard Fund Award for an emerging woman writer of non-fiction, and her first memoir, In the Wilderness , was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Her work has appeared in a number of publi - cations and anthologies, including the New York Times ; MORE magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine ; Good Housekeeping ; Fourth Genre ; The Georgia Review ; Shenandoah ; and the Push - cart Prize anthology. Barnes is a professor of writing at the University of Idaho and lives with her husband, the poet Robert Wrigley, on Moscow Mountain. ALSO BY KIM BARNES FICTION A Country Called Home Finding Caruso NON-FICTION In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country Hungry for the World: A Memoir Praise for In the Kingdom of Men ‘Arresting . A richly wrought historical novel . Barnes seems incapable of writing a lazy sentence. It would be easy enough to enjoy her novel for its images alone — Gin learning to roast coffee beans over an open fire and milk camels straight into enamel bowls; the local children who line their eyes with kohl and drip with precious stones — but its feats are more than just descriptive. We have here the portrait of a woman whose ambitions outsize the time and place she lives, and also of what happens to a marriage when taken out of a familiar context.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

  • A Better Place to Be Unhappy
    Ghent University Faculty of Arts and Philosophy A BETTER PLACE TO BE UNHAPPY Identity in Gary Shteyngart’s immigrant fiction Paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of “Master in de Taal- Promotor: en Letterkunde: Nederlands – prof. dr. Philippe Codde August 2011 Engels” by Thomas Joos Acknowledgments In the acknowledgments of his latest novel, Gary Shteyngart says that “writing a book is real hard and lonely, let me tell you.” I don’t mean to steal his thunder, nor to underestimate the efforts required to write a novel comparable to his fiction, but writing a thesis on his books has been equally hard and lonely. Especially in the summertime. Let me tell you. Therefore, I would like to thank a number of people for helping me out or reminding me, once in a while, that I was still alive. First and foremost, my thanks go to my promotor prof. dr. Philippe Codde for his valuable feedback and for introducing me to Jewish American fiction in the first place. Also, I want to thank my parents, my brother Dieter and sister Eveline for supporting me, knowingly or unknowingly, from this world or another, at times when my motivation reached rock bottom. Finally, a big thank you to my closest friends, who made this 4-year trip at Ghent University definitely worthwile.

  • 2020-2021 Summer Reading Projects
    2020-2021 Summer Reading Projects Due to the unique circumstances, Summer Reading will look a bit different this year. First, why are we expecting students to participate in summer reading? We chose to continue our summer reading requirement be- cause it is crucial to fighting summer learning loss. Below is an infograph- ic that summarizes what we know about how much information and skills can decline during summer break. Summer reading is an important tool to reconnect with those skills. This summer reading project will require students to choose their own book to read. Chosen books must meet the following requirements: 1. The book can be fiction or non-fiction. 2. The book must be written for adults or young adults (YA literature). 3. The book must be primarily text-focused (no graphic novels, manga, comic books, etc.) 4. The book must be 250 pages or more. After reading the book, students will complete one project (see choices and rubric on page 4). Remember that all projects include a writing component. During the first week of school students and teachers will discuss the books and share stu- dent projects. This gives both students and teachers the chance to connect to the litera- ture by sharing their reactions, questions, and insights. Summer reading also counts as a significant grade for English classes. To make sure everyone has access to books, we included a list of resources for books on page 3. Our resource list was designed to ac- commodate everyone’s limited access to li- braries and stores due to Covid-19 restrictions.
