Interviews by Stephen Moss Friday February 23, 2007 Guardian Andrew Motion Poet laureate Choosing the greatest living writer is a harmless parlour game, but it might prove more than that if it provokes people into reading whoever gets the call. What makes a great writer? Philosophical depth, quality of writing, range, ability to move between registers, and the power to influence other writers and the age in which we live. Amis is a wonderful writer and incredibly influential. Whatever people feel about his work, they must surely be impressed by its ambition and concentration. But in terms of calling him a "great" writer, let's look again in 20 years. It would be invidious for me to choose one name, but Harold Pinter, VS Naipaul, Doris Lessing, Michael Longley, John Berger and Tom Stoppard would all be in the frame. AS Byatt Novelist Greatness lies in either (or both) saying something that nobody has said before, or saying it in a way that no one has said it. You need to be able to do something with the English language that no one else does. A great writer tells you something that appears to you to be new, but then you realise that you always knew it. Great writing should make you rethink the world, not reflect current reality. Amis writes wonderful sentences, but he writes too many wonderful sentences one after another. I met a taxi driver the other day who thought that.

    Repetition and Narrative Time in Muriel Spark's 'The Bachelors', 'The Ballad of Peckham Rye' and 'A Member of the Fa

    Page !1 of !26 Gaenor Burchett-Vass March 2014 Repetition and narrative time in Muriel Spark’s ‘The Bachelors’, ‘The Ballad of Peckham Rye’ and ‘A Member of the Family’ ‘Story time’ is not the same thing as ‘narrative time’. The Russian Formalists, active during the early years of the twentieth century, used the terms ‘fabula’ and ‘sjuzhet’ to refer respectively to the ‘chronological sequence of events’ and the ‘order and manner in which [these events] are actually presented in the narrative’ (Jefferson and Robey, 1986: 39). Scenes which occur once in story time, the fabula, can be repeated many times in the narrative, or the sjuzhet, and any such scene will be brought into prominence, or foregrounded, thereby inviting the reader to assign significance to it. Genette’s work on ‘frequency’ in the second half of the twentieth century is built on the foundations established by the Formalists. In his Narrative Discourse, first published in French as Figures III in 1972, Genette distinguishes three possible methods available to the writer for recounting events: the singulative, repetitive and iterative. More recent work among narratologists has pinpointed the difficulties inherent in the fabula/sjuzhet distinction, briefly summarised as follows. The fabula is essentially a construct, put together by the reader at the time of reading and revised to create a final version once the text has been read. It has no external existence unless the fabula and sjuzhet can be seen to be absolutely identical. A ‘primary’ narrative must be identified to enable the construction of a fabula: this is not always straightforward and disagreements cannot easily be resolved.

Robert E. Hosmer Jr., ed. Notre Dame University Press, 2014. vii + 295 pp. $35 paper. Robert Hosmer’s introduction – gleeful, gossipy, gushing – sets the tone for this compelling collection of intimate encounters with the late Dame Muriel Spark by connoisseurs of her poetic art. The editor has assembled a veritable Brodie Set who can scarce contain their enthusiasm for their prime subject. Hosmer is clear about the book’s aims, hoping “readers of this volume will gain a keen sense of Muriel Spark as a person, derived in good measure from reading her own words, unfiltered and uncensored, and a considerable critical appreciation of her work as articulated by some of her best readers”. Of the sixteen essays gathered here, seven are previously published, so I will pass over the elegant insights of my colleague Gerry Carruthers, as well as those of Frank Kermode, John Lanchester, Doris Lessing, John Mortimer, and John Updike, and the fascinating interview Hosmer conducted with Spark in 2005. The volume opens with a section entitled “The Work”, in which Gabriel Josipovici’s erudite exploration of Spark’s critique of fiction within her fiction is the opening essay: “The villains in Muriel Spark’s novels are those who cannot see the difference between fiction and reality.

Abstract: Muriel Spark’s The Ballad of Peckham Rye (1960) ruptures time and blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. The story of lower-class life in an industrial suburb south of London is undercharged by the ‘balladic’ demonic villain (or hero?), Dougal Douglas. This controversial duality of a Satanic (evil- seductive) character who invokes fantasy into daily life is characteristic of Muriel Spark’s delight in playing the game of fiction and realism, and of her refusal to follow the traditional time scheme of fiction. My argument in this paper will centre on the implication of the boundary between fiction and realism, and on how this implication contributes to the justification of a villain as a demonic hero. If there exists only one question, it might be: who are the villains who are making chaotic rumors? If the deceptions are a reflection of human desires, we may ascertain that fiction is another name for lies, and that the liar as a Satanic character can be regarded as a demonic hero, for he exposes human moral disease.

    Writing the Margin: Rabbi Nachman of Braslav, Jorge Luis Borges and the Question of Jewish Writing Yitzhak Lewis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Yitzhak Lewis All rights reserved ABSTRACT Writing the Margin: Rabbi Nachman of Braslav, Jorge Luis Borges and the Question of Jewish Writing Yitzhak Lewis The present project draws a comparison between the literature and thought of Hasidic Rabbi Nachman of Braslav (1772–1810) and Argentine writer and public intellectual Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986). It is organized around two components of their writing—a discursive self- positioning at “the edge” of tradition and a “cabbalistic” stylization of their narratives. The dissertation contextualizes these components within late eighteenth century Enlightenment ideology and emancipation policies, and mid-twentieth century political ideologies of Nazism and Fascism, respectively. The dissertation is bookended by a close comparative reading of their stories. It finds that each in his moment is greatly implicated in questions of resituating Jews and Judaism within broader society, and argues that the effort to aesthetically represent the changing social location of Jews is linked to their understanding of their respective literary projects more broadly. Finally, the study illuminates their shared conceptualization of modern Judaism as a literary model. The dissertation’s broader intervention in the filed of early modern and modern literature relates to the dynamic of rupture and continuity that is so central to categorizations of modern writing. It demonstrates that the fault lines of the rupture from tradition, vis-à-vis which modern literature has been constructed, was already present—poetically and discursively—in the “tradition” from which it purportedly departs.
