The most effective killer in the world. And yet . Carl Strople struggles to retain fleeting memories that betray an even more ominous reality. He's been told part of the truth-but not all of it. Invasive techniques have stripped him of his identity and made him someone new--for this he is grateful. But there are some things they can't take from him. The love of a woman, unbroken loyalties to his past, the need for survival. From the deep woods of Hungary to the streets of New York, Saint takes you on a journey of betrayal in a world of government cover-ups, political intrigue, and one man's search for the truth. In the end, that truth will be his undoing. The Bookshelf Reviews, which gave this novel from Ted Dekker 5 out of 5 stars, stated, "Saint reads like The Bourne Identity [Robert Ludlum] meets The Matrix meets Mr. Murder [Dean Koontz]."

  • A Readers Companion for Saint Louis Armstrong
    A Readers Companion for SAINT LOUIS ARMSTRONG BEACH by brenda woods a boy, a dog, and the hurricane that almost separated them About the book Saint is a boy with confi dence as big as his name is long. A budding musician, he earns money playing clarinet for the New Orleans tourists. His best friend is a stray dog named Shadow, and it’s because of Shadow that Saint’s still in town when Hurricane Katrina hits. Saint’s not worried about the hurricane at fi rst—he plans to live to be a hundred just to defy his palm-reader friend Jupi, who told him he has a short life line. But now the city has been ordered to evacuate, and Saint won’t leave without Shadow. His search brings him to his elderly neighbor’s home, and the three of them fl ee to her attic when the waters rise. But when Miz Moran’s medication runs out, it’s up to Saint to save her life—and his beloved Shadow’s. A terrible thing happened to a special place—a warm and wonderful city that I love very much. This book captures all of it: the heat, the hope, the music, the panic, the pathos. Most of all, it captures the people. They are real folks to me. And they will be to you, too.

I had always wanted to be a novelist and finally got around to being serious about it when I moved to London to do a master’s degree in creative writing in 2008. In terms of the idea for the book, my grand- mother, who died really quickly after I moved to London, was a very complicated person. Nick is definitely not her, but my grandmother partially inspired the character—the idea of someone complicated who can at once be glamorous and lovely to one person and be totally suppressive to someone else. What attracted you to writing about these three decades, starting in the forties, right after the Second World War, and ending in the late sixties, before you were born? In a lot of ways, it was this idea of people trying to be individuals post–World War II, when you were not really supposed to be individ- ualistic. The world was supposed to have been made whole—everyone was better and put on a happy face. It was a great time period to TigersInredWeather_TPtextF1.indd 3 4/30/13 1:04 PM NOID 2013-04-11 18:55:06 361 A conv4 er• sation Reading with GroupLiza Klaussmann Guide put characters like these in motion because the social barriers against achieving any kind of individualism or human agency were so strong.

  • Elif Şafak's the Saint of Incipient Insanities As an “International” Novel
    Elif Şafak’s The Saint of Incipient Insanities as an “International” Novel Elif Oztabek-Avci e Saint of Incipient Insanities is Elif Şafak’s fi rst novel written in English. It is also the fi rst novel in English written by a contemporary Turkish writer.1 Şafak (or Shafak) has joined the growing group of in- ternational writers who write in English although it is not their mother tongue, and e Saint of Incipient Insanities has been shelved in book- stores among other examples of “the rapid, extensive and many-sided internationalization of literatures at the end of the twentieth century” (Dhardwadker 59). e aim of this article is to explore how Shafak’s novel tackles the grip of nation on writers, especially on those from formerly colonized and/or so-called developing countries of the world, by focusing on the novel’s publication processes and the writer’s use of English in the novel. In his article Vinay Dhardwadker draws attention to a paradox: na- tionalism, he holds, is “an essential ingredient in the contemporary internationalization of literatures” (63). He suggests this paradoxical sit- uation is the result of the eff orts made by ex-colonized new nations to defi ne their “cultural identities” through literature (produced both by writers writing in their native tongue and by those writing in English): ey have established local and national councils of the arts; provided state funding for writers and literary institutions in the form of fellowships and grants; subsidized educational sys- tems, libraries, publishers, and literary media; instituted na- tional and international conferences, book fairs, and literary awards; and funded programmes for lectures, readings, and tours at home and abroad.

    THE RED ROOM H.G. Wells Gothic Digital Series @ UFSC FREE FOR EDUCATION The Red Room H.G. Wells (March 1896, The Idler) “I CAN assure you,” said I, “that it will take a very tangible ghost to frighten me.” And I stood up before the fire with my glass in my hand. “It is your own choosing,” said the man with the withered arm, and glanced at me askance. “Eight-and-twenty years,” said I, “I have lived, and never a ghost have I seen as yet.” The old woman sat staring hard into the fire, her pale eyes wide open. “Ay,” she broke in; “and eight-and-twenty years you have lived and never seen the likes of this house, I reckon. There’s a many things to see, when one’s still but eight-and-twenty.” She swayed her head slowly from side to side. “A many things to see and sorrow for.” I half suspected the old people were trying to enhance the spiritual terrors of their house by their droning insistence. I put down my empty glass on the table and looked about the room, and caught a glimpse of myself, abbreviated and broadened to an impossible sturdiness, in the queer old mirror at the end of the room. “Well,” I said, “if I see anything tonight, I shall be so much the wiser. For I come to the business with an open mind.” “It’s your own choosing,” said the man with the withered arm once more. I heard the faint sound of a stick and a shambling step on the flags in the passage outside.

  • The Trouble with Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels
    The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Spring 2008 © March 17, 2008 Blair Elizabeth Nosan Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Anne Herrmann, for her discerning eye and her vital input throughout this writing process. Scotti Parrish for her encouragement and willingness to devote time and concern to the entire thesis cohort. Her support has been indispensable. And Megan Sweeney for her inspiration, and her suggestion of resources—including two of the three novels I have analyzed as primary sources. I am indebted to Eileen Pollack, who was willing to meet with me and provide a personal interview, which was central to my analysis of her work. I have also benefited from the support of my roommates, Peter Schottenfels, Jacob Nathan, and Anna Bernstein, who have provided me with a respite, which was often greatly needed. To my friend Claire Smith who edited this essay in its entirety, and to Nicole Cohen, the 2008 honors cohort, and my sister Loren: these individuals devoted their time and effort to my project and I am very grateful. Finally, I want to thank my family, who not only supported my decision to remain at university for an extra year in order to pursue this very thesis, but also for providing me with emotional guidance throughout this rollercoaster of an experience.
