The possibilities shot up out of the ground from before me like Milton's Pandemonium from the soil of hell. Of course, this assignment ultimately turned out to be much less intimidating and filled with demons than that, but at the time, it felt as though it would be. When you're an English major like I am, your choices are simultaneously extremely numerous and severely restricted, mostly by my inability to write convincingly or sufficiently about most topics. However, after much deliberation and agonizing, I realized that something I am good at is writing about film.

  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

  • Remembering Charles Portis, with David Kern
    (ACOUSTIC GUITAR THEME MUSIC) JONATHAN ROGERS, HOST: Welcome to The Habit Podcast: Conversations with Writers about Writing. I’m Jonathan Rogers, your host. (THEME MUSIC CONTINUES) JR: At the end of every episode of this podcast, I ask my guests, “Which writers make you want to write?” Charles Portis is a name that has come up several times. His novels, especially True Grit and The Dog of the South, certainly make me want to write. Roy Blount once said, “Charles Portis could be Cormac McCarthy if he wanted to, but he’d rather be funny.” I don’t suppose there could be a better summation of what I love about Charles Portis. Mr. Portis died on February 17, 2020, two weeks before the release date of this episode. My friend David Kern loves Charles Portis as much as I do, so I called him to reminisce. David Kern runs the Circe Institute’s podcast network, and hosts the Close Reads podcast, the Daily Poem podcast, and Libromania, a podcast for the book-obsessed. I commend those podcasts to you. A slightly edited version of this conversation is being posted as an episode over at Libromania. (THEME MUSIC FADES OUT) JR: David Kern, I’m so glad we’re having some time to talk about Charles Portis. DAVID KERN: Yeah, likewise. I can’t imagine that there are many writers who would be more fun to just, you know… just talk about and celebrate and spend some time with. JR: Yeah, I know. I have to admit, I didn’t realize Charles Portis was still alive until a couple months before he died.
