  • The Good Lord Bird Discussion Led by Don Markley
    FOPSL Book Club: February 19, 2021 Book: The Hare with Amber Eyes Author: Edmund de Waal Discussion leader: Pearl Moskowitz The Good Lord Bird Discussion Led by Don Markley Last month, Don Markley presented The Good Lord Bird by James McBride which won the National Book Award for fiction in 2013. An African American graduate of Oberlin College, McBride was already well-known for his first book, a best-selling memoir titled The Color of Water (1995). His 2002 novel Miracle at St. Anna based on the black 92nd Infantry Division of World War II was later adapted as a film by director Spike Lee. His most recent novel Deacon King Kong won the 2021 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. McBride is also an accomplished tenor saxophonist, composer and songwriter. The Good Lord Bird focuses on events leading up and including John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry on October 16, 1859. The book ends with John Brown waiting to be hung. The club discussion focused on the character of Onion, a young black boy who disguises himself as a girl. Through Onion’s eyes the reader examines the relationships between slaves and masters, free blacks and white abolitionists, black women and white men—the combinations are many and each tells a different part of antebellum life. Among the club comments: the John Brown’s Body song, a marching song popular in the Union during the Civil War, was sung in Austria! It turns out the song’s melody was later used for The Battle Hymn of the Republic (or Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory outside of the United States).

  • Gender, Race, Mobility and Performance in James Mcbride's the Good Lord Bird

Performance, mobility, fluid and constant change are themes and currents throughout the novel. The dramatic narrative feeds off tensions arising from race and gender and the ways in which related identities are experienced and performed. The current paper examines factors relating to performativity and identity in terms of race; in the case of Onion’s narrative these inform a specific kind of understanding of a social and geographical situation that requires subversion. Through humor and satire, McBride creastes a powerful work with contemporary resonances. The drama of the novel is based on concepts of performativity and identity, and the understanding represented by the symbol of the “Good Lord” bird in the novel. McBride wrote the novel for a contemporary audience, knowing that they would be attuned to such issues surrounding racial performance and racial identity.

  • UTZINGER-DISSERTATION-2019.Pdf (1.843Mb)
    SCOTLAND READS AN AMERICAN BOOK: THE INTERNATIONAL CIRCULATION OF VIOLENCE, NATION, AND RACE DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY A Dissertation by JEFFREY CHARLES UTZINGER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Ira Dworkin Committee Members, Larry J. Reynolds Angela P. Hudson Lawrence J. Oliver Susan B. Egenolf Head of Department, Maura Ives December 2019 Major Subject: English Copyright 2019 Jeffrey C. Utzinger ABSTRACT Travel abroad in the early nineteenth century, especially to the British Isles, not only shaped North American writers’ worldviews, it also provided many writers with the opportunity to procure additional publishers for their works which, in turn, disseminated these writers’ views across the British Isles. Much scholarship devoted to influences on nineteenth-century literature tends to conflate the British Isles into one coherent nation. This study, however, focuses on Scotland as a distinct region within the British Isles.
