  • One Book's Brand Is Another Book's Frame
    One Book’s Brand is Another Book’s Frame Covering the Dutch Cover of Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s La sombra del viento Maarten Steenmeijer Abstract Book covers can be an important part of the branding process in the case of authors from abroad. The branding of Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s novels in the Netherlands is a paradigmatic case in point. The front cover of his Dutch debut De schaduw van de wind became a classic: it is a crucial element of the Dutch Zafón brand, while essential features from it have been used to frame a considerable number of other Spanish authors’ novels that have since been launched onto the Dutch market. We examine three cases: Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Elia Barceló, and María Dueñas. Emulating successful cover branding seems to have the best chance of succeeding in the case of ‘new’ authors and appears to be most effective in the short term. Keywords: branding, translations, covers, hetero-representation Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s novel La sombra del viento is every publisher’s dream. Worldwide, it has sold more copies than any other Spanish novel, the only exception being, of course, Cervantes’ Don Quixote. Germany was the first foreign country where Ruiz Zafón’s novel was published (in the summer of 2003). Other countries soon followed and zafonmanía became a global phe- nomenon. To provide an idea of zafonmanía’s key features, it is relevant to cite the blurb from the US cover: ‘The number one bestseller.’ This is, evidently, Helleke van den Braber, Jeroen Dera, Jos Joosten, and Maarten Steenmeijer (eds), Branding Books Across the Ages: Strategies and Key Concepts in Literary Branding.

  • Losingsightliterature.Pdf (126.6Kb)
    Manno 1 Lindsey Manno Capstone Final Professor Cohen Losing Sight of Literature: The Commodity of Book Packaging In every young writer’s heart there is a dream, a dream that one day all of their hard work will lead to a successful, published novel. And not just any novel, but the next Great American novel that will be taught in classes for decades to come. Unfortunately, much of the publishing industry has another goal in mind when weeding through submissions and story ideas: making money and duplicating the success of Harry Potter or Twilight . In this paper, I plan to examine the workings of companies like Alloy Entertainment and James Frey’s Full Fathom Five Factory, each of which provide outlines and hire writers to put together novels for the Young Adult (YA hereafter) genre. By using a “novel by committee” format, these companies are weakening the publishing industry and making it that much more difficult for an up and coming writer to get their original work seen, much less published. They are doing away with what is considered to be the author and replacing it with brand names and product placement, changing the ideals of what it is to be a writer. In this essay, I will question whether or not these precooked ideas can still be considered art with any literary value, or if they’re simply commodities to companies consumed with the desire for money rather than the desire to share good books. First, though, it is important to determine what it is that allows something to be considered literature or to have literary value.

  • Pete Segall. the Voice of Chicago in the 20Th Century: a Selective Bibliographic Essay
    Pete Segall. The Voice of Chicago in the 20th Century: A Selective Bibliographic Essay. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. December, 2006. 66 pages. Advisor: Dr. David Carr Examining the literature of Chicago in the 20th Century both historically and critically, this bibliography attempts to find commonalities of voice in a list of selected works. The paper first looks at Chicago in a broader context, focusing particularly on perceptions of the city: both Chicago’s image of itself and the world’s of it. A series of criteria for inclusion in the bibliography are laid out, and with that a mention of several of the works that were considered but ultimately disqualified or excluded. Before looking into the Voice of the city, Chicago’s history is succinctly summarized in a bibliography of general histories as well as of seminal and crucial events. The bibliography searching for Chicago’s voice presents ten books chronologically, from 1894 to 2002, a close examination of those works does reveal themes and ideas integral to Chicago’s identity.

  • Transgender Books in Transgender Packages: the Peritextual Materials of Young Adult Fiction
    Vol. 1, No. 1 · 2020 · ISSN 2634-5277 DOI: 10.24877/ijyal.32 Distributed under CC BY 4.0 Transgender Books in Transgender Packages: The peritextual materials of young adult fiction Emily Corbett ABSTRACT The packaging of a book – its peritextual materials including front cover, blurb, acknowledgements, afterword, and author notes – provides information that can contribute to a potential reader’s decision whether or not to purchase, borrow, or read the story it encases. As such, the choices made by authors, illustrators, editors, and publishers regarding books’ peritextual features can offer important insights into the spaces books are intended to occupy within their contemporary market. This article examines the peritextual materials of a broad range of British and American transgender young adult novels published in the twenty-first century, in the context of the We Need Diverse Books movement and Time’s “transgender tipping point” which coincided in the mid-2010s. In doing so, it shows how the field of transgender young adult fiction has developed over the last five or so years to include more variety, intersectional diversity, and Own Voices authorship, as well as considering how the commercial packaging of various books might usefully signal the audience each is intended to attract. While a growing area of scholarship, existing research on transgender young adult novels has predominantly focused on the stories or their pedagogical function for teenage readers. Taking a different approach, this article asks how a selection of Emily Corbett is a PhD Candidate at the National Centre for Research in Children’s Literature, University of Roehampton.

It lures them into landscapes authentic in detail and populated with all manner of rich characters, only to shatter the readers’ expectations and leave them questioning their perceptions. A Gene Wolfe story embeds stories within stories, dreams within memories, and truths within lies. It coaxes its readers into a safe place with familiar faces, then leads them to the edge of an abyss and disappears with the whisper of a promise. Often classified as Science Fiction or Fantasy, a Gene Wolfe story is as likely to dip into science as it is to make a literary allusion or religious metaphor. A Gene Wolfe story is fantastic in all senses of the word.

  • Angela Jackson
    This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. ANGELA JACKSON A renowned Chicago poet, novelist, play- wright, and biographer, Angela Jackson published her first book while still a stu- dent at Northwestern University. Though Jackson has achieved acclaim in multi- ple genres, and plans in the near future to add short stories and memoir to her oeuvre, she first and foremost considers herself a poet. The Poetry Foundation website notes that “Jackson’s free verse poems weave myth and life experience, conversation, and invocation.” She is also renown for her passionate and skilled Photo by Toya Werner-Martin public poetry readings. Born on July 25, 1951, in Greenville, Mississippi, Jackson moved with her fam- ily to Chicago’s South Side at the age of one. Jackson’s father, George Jackson, Sr., and mother, Angeline Robinson, raised nine children, of which Angela was the middle child. Jackson did her primary education at St. Anne’s Catholic School and her high school work at Loretto Academy, where she earned a pre-medicine scholar- ship to Northwestern University. Jackson switched majors and graduated with a B.A. in English and American Literature from Northwestern University in 1977. She later earned her M.A. in Latin American and Caribbean studies from the University of Chicago, and, more recently, received an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Bennington College. While at Northwestern, Jackson joined the Organization for Black American Culture (OBAC), where she matured under the guidance of legendary literary figures such as Hoyt W Fuller.

This study aims to illustrate how London and Chicago are depicted in literature in the 19th. Century and the first quarter of the 20th. Century. Six literary works are selected from English and American Literature that contain information about the city life. These prominent writers are William Blake, Thomas Hood, Matthew Arnold, William Wordsworth, Carl Sandburg and Upton Sinclair. The works can be evaluated from different aspects but the focus of this study is specifically on the social problems caused by industrialization and urbanization. The paper is organized in two parts. In the first part, it draws a general picture of urban and industrial developments in England and the States, and the portraits of London and Chicago in that period, and in the second part, the works are discussed in order to see how the cities are depicted. The evaluation is approached through Marxist literary criticism. Key Words: Industrialization, urbanization, London, Chicago, literature. Özet.
