  • A Night of Frost
    A Night of Frost by Siegfried “Zig” Engelmann A Night of Frost © S. Engelmann, 2007 Page 1 of 274 A NIGHT OF FROST PART ONE HENNA Summerʼs my season. Course that donʼt mean I sit around all summer like a piece of lawn furniture, because I damned well donʼt. Iʼm the cook at Camp Timberline and more than likely I work harder during the summer than you work all year long. But I like the summer. Itʼs nice to look out of my window in the campʼs kitchen and see the blue lakes and the yellow meadows, instead of nothing but snow. People who donʼt know any better are always talking about the New England winter, but you can take it from someone whoʼs lived up here all her life: The only good thing about a New England winter is that it only comes once a year. Around here, you can always tell when summer is on its way by the way Jay McFarland dresses. When he sheds that old bearskin coat of his and gets out of his drag-ass overalls, you know it wonʼt be long before the campers will be here. Oh, that McFarland! The gossiping cornballs around here tell a lot of wild stories about him if you give them half a chance, but thereʼs not a word of truth to most of them. One story even has it that McFarland used to be in the movies. Thatʼll give you a rough idea of the kind of purebred gossip that goes through these woods. Course McFarland is a bit different.

All things right and relevant pages 209-246 Epilogue: Who am I? pages 247-252 2 Introduction Every book needs an introduction, which is the moment for the author to step up to the podium to answer two simple questions. “Why do think you should write a book”? and “What is it about?” Then, there is another question: “What will happen to the book after it is written?” Ironically, even the few “successful” writers who get their fifteen minutes of media fame will experience the most humbling literary journey: seeing one’s book go within a few months from the shelves of a chain bookstore to a $0.99 “used-but-like-new” book deal on Amazon.com, and finally as a $0.50 bargain at a thrift store or someone’s garage sale. What, my life story for 50 cents? It is true that there are too many books out there already, most of them never read or just gathering dust, and that I actually don’t have much of a story to tell, or to sell.

He was holding his arms out on either side for balance as he stepped lightly along one of the rails, like someone walking on a tightrope without a net and with miles and miles of nothing underneath him. He was without a shirt and his back was covered in mud. I could barely make out the scar on his left shoulder, but noticed right away that his hands had been painted red. The air was unsettled with yellow dust so that it seemed like there were a thousand tiny fireflies rising up slowly from the ground all around us. I could hear the sirens from far off in the distance as they made their way through town, and I called out to him.

As protagonists, they are virtually absent from the novel, perhaps because “novel” means new and the are—old. Muriel Spark’s Memento Mori treats its group of old and dying friends and family as absurd, sinful creatures, with the exception of one retainer, living out her last days in a nursing home, who sees with clear eyes what a sorry business it all is. Recently, I read Stanley Elkin’s Mrs. Ted Bliss, which takes that figure of fun, the Jewish grandma living out her final years in Florida, and humanizes her. I was moved, but the novel was sometimes hard going. As, I suppose, old age is.

    1 TWILIGHT DREAMS live in a mental hospital. I’m not actually crazy; I just like it here. I The Inward Care Center has a lot going for it. They give you clean clothes and neat foam slippers, feed you, and protect you, and nobody questions the bizarre. I can feel safe here. Sure, it’s all low- grade construction, dull white walls, and linoleum. Everything smells like pine oil cleaner mixed with a hint of cigarettes, and the only breeze comes from sterile air-conditioning. But I don’t live here for the scenery. I live here because it’s the only place I have left in this world, the only place where they’ll believe in me. You see, I’m a god. There you go again, thinking I’m crazy. I’m not, I swear. I go by Sara Vanadi. They used to call me something else entirely, of course, pious lips and tongues caressing the perfect syllables of my —-1 name alongside countless prayers, but that doesn’t matter anymore. —0 —+1 1143-64653_ch01_2P.indd43-64653_ch01_2P.indd 1 007/27/167/27/16 77:32:32 aamm They don’t believe in the old titles any longer, so why should I keep them? All that’s left of my heyday are scattered myths and a blur of faded memories. Don’t trouble yourself wondering who I was. Today I’m just a girl who wants to stay safe and hold on to the last embers of belief that she can find. “Hey, how are you?” a baritone voice asks, interrupting my daily pity party.

    Journey to the East: Essays A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Stephen David Grover June 2009 © 2009 Stephen David Grover. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Journey to the East: Essays by STEPHEN DAVID GROVER has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Dinty W. Moore Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT GROVER, STEPHEN DAVID, M.A., June 2009, English Journey to the East: Essays (76 pp.) Director of thesis: Dinty W. Moore This thesis is a collection of seven personal essays written by the author and headed by a critical introduction. The introduction presents a common theme among the essays—that they represent a “journey to the East”—and points out the function of memory in the essays and the necessity for some distance between the speaker and the protagonist in each, even though those two may in fact be the same person. Such distance, the author claims, allows valuable discoveries to be made and justifies an otherwise purely egotistical venture. The introduction also expresses the author’s desire that his essays promote empathy—between author and reader, between reader and the world, and between the reader and the reader’s self. Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Dinty W. Moore Professor of English 4 DEDICATION For Jon 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express thanks for all those who helped me put this thesis together, including those who participated in workshops with me and offered their sincere advice, those who read and responded to these essays in their free time, and those who offered encouragement and advice outside the express act of writing—among others: Joey, Liz, Holly, Catherine, Zach, and Diana.
