Summer Reading List 2019 Summer Reading List 2019 Below is a list of dearly loved books compiled by members of the English Department. Your job this summer: in addition to reading the all-school book Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan, choose one book from this list THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ BEFORE. You will be accountable for both books in your English classes in the fall, regardless of whether you have English at Brunswick or Greenwich Academy. There are so many good books here—have fun exploring and researching them. The English Department will be happy to help you choose! (You should of course feel free to read more than one!) Richard Adams, Watership Down. This is an adventure story, with a twist. Hazel, a natural- born leader, takes control of a band of misfits to lead them from their devastated home to a new, safer place to live. Kind of like The Odyssey (only better), but with rabbits (that’s the twist!). Chimamanda Adichie, Half of a Yellow Sun. This novel creates compelling characters from all walks of life and shows how they connect during the tumultuous war in late 1960s Nigeria. Julia Alvarez, In the Time of the Butterflies. This highly readable and remarkable novel tells the true story of four sisters who resisted the government of General Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. It’s both sad and inspiring as each of the sisters narrates a different part of the novel. James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk. Read this novel for the love story, for what it was like to live in New York City in the 1970s, and to better understand racism and false imprisonment—then and now. Richard Blanco, Looking for the Gulf Motel. If you haven’t already read a book of poems by Richard Blanco, one of our visiting writers in 2018, start with Looking for the Gulf Motel. Then consider his newest collection, How to Love a Country, which includes his poem about the Pulse shooting and many others that explore what it means to be American. Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre This novel tells a story of a poor orphan who grows up to be one of the bravest, most outspoken characters I know – she’s not even afraid of the creepy noises in the attic. Geraldine Brooks, People of the Book. The term “people of the book” is one that has been used to refer to Jews and Christians, followers of Abrahamic religions. The people in this fascinating book all “follow” the Sarajevo Haggadah, one of the oldest surviving Jewish illuminated texts and a priceless manuscript. Beginning with Hanna, an Australian book conservator called upon to restore the Haggadah, the novel works backwards in time and across Europe to the conflict zone of Sarajevo where the book was made in the 1300s. NoViolet Bulawayo, We Need New Names. A coming-of-age story about a young girl named Darling. The first half of the book is set during Darling's childhood in Zimbabwe, and the second half of the book takes place after she immigrates to Michigan as a teenager. Octavia Butler, The Parable of the Sower. This novel, by a rare African-American voice in the sci-fi genre, tells the story of Lauren Olamina, who, faced with the loss of her family in a world devastated environmentally and economically, sets off on a journey to safety. She picks up other travelers as she goes. If you liked The Hunger Games, you may like this. Michael Chabon, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. A story about comic books for those with no interest in comic books, and the most unlikely superhero story you’ll ever read. This is one of those novels in which you become fully immersed, neglecting what’s going on in your own world for the pleasure of being in the book. Junot Diaz, Drown. Before The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Junot Diaz wrote this fantastic short story collection. For aspiring fiction writers and for fans of Diaz's other work alike, Drown is a sure hit. Keep an eye out for Yunior! Charles Dickens, Bleak House, Our Mutual Friend—anything!. These look like tomes (they’re long) but Dickens was a popular writer—lots of action, coincidences, romance, and funny character names make them exceptionally readable and hard to put down. There’s even a character in Bleak House who spontaneously combusts. Anthony Doerr, All The Light We Cannot See. This is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction and/or admirers of downright gorgeous sentences. It's the WWII-era story of a French girl and a German boy whose paths cross in occupied France. It's nuanced, it's moving...it's really something special. It's on the New York Times' "Best Books of 2014" list and won the Pulitzer Prize! Leif Enger, Peace Like a River. This novel seems inspired by To Kill a Mockingbird and if you loved that book, you’ll probably like this one. It’s a great road trip story. If you like to imagine the possibility of miracles, this might be for you. Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex. This is an epic novel that spans three generations of a Greek- American family from their tiny village overlooking Mt. Olympus to being firmly established in Detroit. Eugenides, an evocative storyteller, crafts distinctive, unforgettable characters. Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend. This highly readable (perhaps semi-autobiographical?) novel is the first in a quartet tracing the friendship between two girls in 1950s Naples, Italy. At times intense, at others funny, and at still others heart-breaking, this is one of the few novels out there that takes a sustained look at complicated women’s friendships. Jonathan Safron Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. One of the most original books you will read, this novel combines different points of view, illustrations, and experiments with typography to tell the story of Oskar Schell, a precocious 9-year-old who pursues a mystery left by his father after he died suddenly in the World Trade Center on 9/11/01. Along his journey across the five boroughs of New York, Oskar meets some amazing characters, including his long-lost grandfather who doesn’t speak. Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. The narrator’s voice in this novel—angry, passionate, hilarious, bittersweet—is captivating. I won’t give away the plot entirely, but it involves a young woman trying to understand the disappearance of her sister many years before. Jonathan Franzen The Corrections. Love Jonathan Franzen or hate him, it is difficult to argue that he is not one of the most important novelists of the last twenty years. I happen to love him: his propulsive, obsessive prose and the painful detail in which he renders his characters' many selfish, humiliating choices. In The Corrections, he tells the story of the Lamberts, a Midwestern family whose matriarch wants to gather her adult children for one last Christmas at home. This is not, however, a family-friendly novel. Decidedly not for younger students. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude. Not for the faint of heart! This is a complicated but rewarding novel that follows one hundred years in Macondo, a fictional town in Colombia. Garcia Marquez is probably the most famous and most influential of Latin American novelists, bringing magical realism to wide audiences. Funny and tragic and incredibly inventive. Roxanne Gay, Bad Feminist. Over the past couple of years, Roxanne Gay has emerged as an important thinker on subjects ranging from race to gender and from politics to Scrabble. This collection of essays captures her sense of humor and her fierce intelligence. Lauren Groff, Florida. A collection of atmospheric, fierce, and beautiful short stories set in - you guessed it - Florida, this book is the perfect companion to summer evening spent on a porch watching fireflies. It's moody, funny, and haunting all at once. Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day. Quietly funny and then silently heartbreaking. This novel is in my top five (the movie, too). Nalini Jones, What You Call Winter. A collection of interconnected short stories from the sister of a GA alum. They revolve around a small Catholic community in India. Mary Karr's memoirs. Tough stuff, but so compelling. Real stories of an extraordinary childhood told in authentic, hilarious, poignant prose. Jack Kerouac, On the Road. Crisscross America with the Beat generation in the classic novel. Kerouac’s prose reads like the bebop jazz he and his pals listened to as they raced across the American landscape in the late 40s. One draft of this book was typed nonstop on what appears to be an endless scroll of paper. Stephen King, Skeleton Crew. Because summer reading should be fun and terrifying. Barbara Kingsolver, Unsheltered. Kingsolver’s newest novel, and one of her best, goes back and forth between a family pulling itself together in 2016 and the story of Mary Treat, a real-life botanist who lived in the 1800s and corresponded with Charles Darwin. Through a surprising connection, both narratives include characters immersed in science and grappling with family and love. Nathan Hill, The Nix. Inventive and imaginative, this novel traces the investigation Samuel Andresen-Anderson undertakes after his estranged mother is arrested for an absurd crime that captivates a politically-divided country. Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior. Hong Kingston's memoir was a favorite of mine in high school and college. She tells the story of her childhood in America and her mother’s stories of life in China, weaving myth with memory.

  • Convenient Fictions
    CONVENIENT FICTIONS: THE SCRIPT OF LESBIAN DESIRE IN THE POST-ELLEN ERA. A NEW ZEALAND PERSPECTIVE By Alison Julie Hopkins A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2009 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge those people who have supported me in my endeavour to complete this thesis. In particular, I would like to thank Dr Alison Laurie and Dr Lesley Hall, for their guidance and expertise, and Dr Tony Schirato for his insights, all of which were instrumental in the completion of my study. I would also like to express my gratitude to all of those people who participated in the research, in particular Mark Pope, facilitator of the ‘School’s Out’ programme, the staff at LAGANZ, and the staff at the photographic archive of The Alexander Turnbull Library. I would also like to acknowledge the support of The Chief Censor, Bill Hastings, and The Office of Film and Literature Classification, throughout this study. Finally, I would like to thank my most ardent supporters, Virginia, Darcy, and Mo. ii Abstract Little has been published about the ascending trajectory of lesbian characters in prime-time television texts. Rarer still are analyses of lesbian fictions on New Zealand television. This study offers a robust and critical interrogation of Sapphic expression found in the New Zealand television landscape. More specifically, this thesis analyses fictional lesbian representation found in New Zealand’s prime-time, free-to-air television environment. It argues that television’s script of lesbian desire is more about illusion than inclusion, and that lesbian representation is a misnomer, both qualitatively and quantitively.

    LARVAL TAXONOMY ANA BIONOMICS OF SOME BRITISH PIPUNCULIDAE by Forbes Peter Benton A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of London Imperial College Field Station, Silwood Park, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berkshire. February, 1975• ABSTRACT The thesis contains a taxonomic and ecological study of a family of insect parasites, the Pipunculidae (Diptera) which are exclusively endoparasitic in Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha. Little detailed biological information about them exists; this is surprising in view of their potential in the biological control of leafhopper pests. The present studies extend the basic information on pipunculid biology and for the first time examine the taxonomy of the larvae. Nearly half the total of 77 British species have been found at Silwood Park and 17 of these have been bred out. It was found that several species, particularly in the genus Eudorylas, could not be positively identified with the recently available key (Coe, 1966). Drawings of the male genitalia of most species studied are included and these provide, almost exclusively, good absolute characters for species identification. In studies of biology a Malaise trap was used to sample adult Pipunculidae. Observations on the times of emergence of the larvae from the hosts, together with the analyses of the catches of adults in the Malaise trap, elucidated the life histories of the most common species. Pipunculidae can vary considerably in size intraspecifically depending on the species of leafhopper host attacked. A large number of measurements were made in investigating this phenomenon and some relationships between overall variability and host specificity are suggested. The last part of the thesis contains descriptions of the larvae which were bred out.

  • READINGS of RELATO DE UN NAUFRAGO by DANIEL ROBERT LACKEY, B.A
    GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ AND THE LITERATURE OF FACT: READINGS OF RELATO DE UN NAUFRAGO by DANIEL ROBERT LACKEY, B.A. A THESIS IN SPANISH Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Accepted August, 1992 Copyright 1992 Dan Lackey ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes first to gratefully acknowledge the help of his Master's Thesis Comnúttee in the Department of Classical and Modem Languages and Literatures at Texas Tech University. Professor Harley D. Oberhelman, conunittee chairperson, provided relevant materials throughout the research. He also gave the author the freedom to read, by offering an individual study course on the major fiction of García Márquez. In conversations dealing with the literature of fact, Professor Norwood Andrews, Jr., played Devil's Advocate, causing certain passages to be written defensively and therefore, perhaps, more clearly. Professor David H. J. Larmour introduced much of the literary theory crucial to this thesis, and his sympathetic use of the concept of the sensational fact was nearly as helpful as his sharp criticism of the chapter on the collaborative narrative. He also provided technical and finandal assistance. Outside the committee but within the department, Professors Janet Pérez and Ted McVay made helpful comments on the thesis proposal, and provided, or suggested, books without which the research would have been greatly diminished. Professor Roberto Bravo read the chapter on the sensational fact in an earlier form and offered several helpful comments. Professor Harry Miller, of the University of South Carolina, provided invaluable feedback, espedally on material in Chapters V and VI.
