Realist Ecstasy shows how post-Reconstruction realist texts mobilized gestures—especially the gestures associated with religious ecstasy—to racialize secularism itself.

For a generation of young people, Holden Caufield, a disgusted prep school runaway, became an important symbol of rebellion against "the phony. Reckson offers us a distinctly new vision of American realism as a performative practice, a sustained account of how performance lives in and through literary archives, and a rich sense of how closely secularization and racialization were linked in Jim Crow America. While writers of the day were revealing authoritarian hierarchies Catch , racial boundaries Black Like Me , and sexist structures them , John Barth — began a new phase in his writing by responding to "the system" in Giles Goat-Boy , his fourth novel.

Bernard Malamud —86 created the character Yakov Bok "the fixer" from an actual case of a Jewish man in czarist Russia falsely accused of a ritual murder.

  • Reader's Guide for the Plot Against America Published by Houghton
    A Reader's Guide The Plot Against America by Philip Roth • About The Plot Against America • About Philip Roth • Questions for Discussion • Recommended for Further Reading About The Plot Against America Set in Newark, New Jersey, in the early 1940s, The Plot Against America tells the story of what it was like for the Roth family and Jews across the country when the isolationist aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was elected president of the United States. Roth's richly imagined novel begins in 1940, with the landslide election of Lindbergh, who blamed the Jews for pushing America toward war with Nazi Germany. Lindbergh's admiration of Hitler and his openly anti-Semitic speeches cause increasing turmoil in the Roth household, and in nine-year-old Philip, as political events at home and abroad overtake their daily lives. Alvin, the orphaned nephew the family has taken in, runs away to Canada to fight the Nazis. Sandy, Philip's older brother, ascribes his parents' fears to paranoia and embraces Lindbergh's Just Folks program, which sends him and other Jewish children to live in the "heartland" for a summer. Philip's mother, Bess, wants the family to flee to Canada before it is too late to escape. But his fiercely idealistic father, Herman, refuses to abandon the country where he was born and raised as an American. Overwhelmed by the tensions around him, Philip tries to run away. "I wanted nothing to do with history," he says. "I wanted to be a boy on the smallest scale possible. I wanted to be an orphan." But history will not let go, and as America is whipped into a deadly frenzy by demagogues, the Roths and Jews everywhere begin to expect the worst.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

Specifical­ ly, the direct way of asserting Ernest Frost's quality is to postulate Graham Greene, shorn of clerical masochism, rising to the full limits of his promise. Writing with verve and lyric nervousness of a cauldron of unholy loves in present-day London, Frost sounds the extreme notes that all of us can read in the living scale but can rarely harmonize: the notes of tenderness, of revulsion, of de~pair, of cold clarity, of hope and bewilderment. Frost is on the side of life but he is hard at the core; as a result, his insights and characterizations emanate an oblique beauty of expression which is best appreciated by generous quotation of his theme and variations: WeB, it's curious, seel A sort of deranged reasonableness about people living in cities which are lighted up for the peace, but it isn't really peace, and everyone's still at war within themselves.

  • The Identity Problem in Malamud' S the Fixer
    The Identity Problem in Malamud's The Fixer The Identity Problem in Malamud' s The Fixer (199411i 4 Jil 8 B) Masayuki Teranishi Key words : Jewish Identity, Self-discovery, Renewed Faith I One of the most conspicuous characteristics of Malamud's protagonists is that they are all mediocre heroes. Roy Hobbs in The Natural, Frankie Alpine in The Assistant, Sy Levin in A New Life, and Yakov Bok in The J7ixer are all struggling to compensate for past failure, not realizing that it could make them stronger. Their shared problem is "seeking, through a maze of social and philosophical blind-alleys, for a reattainment of self. " i Each discards his old self and attempts to find a new one. Roy tries to forget his past mistake with "the mysterious woman" and attempts to find a new identity on the baseball field. Frank has been suffering from his past criine. In order to atone for it, he is looking for a purpose of living in his job at Morris Bober's grocery store. Levin is a former drunkard and attempts to find a new self out of the ruins of his past. However, the more they try to find a new identity, the more they suffer. Yakov is a typical character who cannot find his "new self." To him, loss of self means loss of identity as a Jew. What he has seen and experienced in the shtetl has made him sceptical about the Jewish God and Bok "blames fate and spares himself. "2 Therefore, to Yakov, the shtetl appears to be merely a prison.
