  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Two Sisters by Gore Vidal Two Sisters (Novel) Two Sisters Is a Novelistic Memoir by the American Writer Gore Vidal
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Two Sisters by Gore Vidal Two Sisters (novel) Two Sisters is a novelistic memoir by the American writer Gore Vidal. Originally published in 1970 this fairly short novel (174 pages) contains, according to the blurb on the dust jacket of the first edition, "Gore Vidal’s singular speculations on love, sex, death, literature and politics." A memoir is a collection of memories that an individual writes about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in the subject's life. The assertions made in the work are understood to be factual. While memoir has historically been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography since the late 20th century, the genre is differentiated in form, presenting a narrowed focus. A biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", while a memoir often tells a story "from a life", such as touchstone events and turning points from the author's life. The author of a memoir may be referred to as a memoirist or a memorialist . Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his patrician manner, epigrammatic wit, and polished style of writing. Reviewing the book in the New York Times , reviewer John Leonard complained, ""Two Sisters" works neither as a novel (all the news happens off-stage) nor as a memoir (the "I" is far too coy)." [1] John Leonard was an American literary, television, film, and cultural critic. Related Research Articles. Burr (1973), by Gore Vidal, is a historical novel that challenges the traditional founding-fathers iconography of United States history, by means of a narrative that includes a fictional memoir, by Aaron Burr, in representing the people, politics, and events of the U.S.

  • Julian, God, and the Art of Storytelling
    Godelinde Gertrude Perk Umeå Studies in Language and Literature 32 Department of Language Studies Umeå University, Sweden Celebrated for her compassionate theology and subtle, subversive imagery, Julian of Norwich (c. 1343 – c. 1416), the earliest known woman writer in the English language, is also an accomplished storyteller. This study explores and compares the narrative strategies found in her two accounts of her visionary experience, A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman and A Revelation of Love. Reading these two non-fiction texts as narratives, this analysis and the Art Julian, God, of Storytelling 2016 Umeå University, brings Julian’s stories into dialogue with the narratives of her own time, Middle English literary theory, modern narratology, and the texts’ attention to their own telling. This reveals that Revelation includes, expands and transforms the plot, point of view, and characterization of Vision, while Revelation simultaneously implo- des these narrative structures to hint at greater, divine structures. By creating a poetics of developing and enveloping in Revelation, Julian strategically depicts herself, God and the reader as charac- ters in each other’s narratives and as participating in each other’s storytelling: she authorizes her own story by making it God’s and the reader’s as well.

  • Petronius' Satyricon and Gore Vidal's the City and the Pillar
    Roman Fever: Petronius’ Satyricon and Gore Vidal’s The City and the Pillar NIKOLAI ENDRES Western Kentucky University “‘Here’s a book,’ said he, taking one from his bosom, ‘written with great elegance and spirit, and though the subject may give offense to some narrow-minded people, the author will always be held in esteem by any person of wit and learning.’ So saying he put into my hands Petronius Arbiter.” Tobias Smollet, The Adventures of Roderick Random The first time Gore Vidal read Petronius, “an electrical current was switched on” (Palimpsest 245).1 He proudly proclaims: “my origins are in Petronius and Apuleius, two writers no American journalist has ever read” (Views from a Window 173; cf. United States 27, 112, 150, 307, 567). In The Judgment of Paris, Vidal makes fun of “the pornographer’s solemnity without which no puritan can satisfy his guilty appetite for vicarious sex”; in that respect, Vidal is “closer to Petronius” (v–vi). Adding Juvenal, he establishes a “chain of literary genealogy”: Petronius, Juvenal, Apuleius – then Shakespeare … (Views 188; cf. Myra Breckinridge 27). Finally, he acknowledges his debt to Suetonius (Views 138; cf. United States 523–528, 567, 1207), complaining that he “was being denied, at least in class, Suetonius, Juvenal, Tacitus – and ————— 1 References to primary literature (both classical and modern) are given by titles. As re- gards The City and the Pillar, references are to the revised edition (1965), abbreviated as City in the text and as CP in parenthetical documentation; references to the original (1948) indicate as CP1948. Passages from Petronius’ Cena are quoted according to the edition of Smith (1982); further passages from the Satyricon are quoted according to the edition of Müller (1961); translations are taken from Arrowsmith (1959).
