    The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright a Thesis

    The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Amy Bright, 2016 Abstract Recent research by Neilsen reports that adult readers purchase 80% of all young adult novels sold, even though young adult literature is a category ostensibly targeted towards teenage readers (Gilmore). More than ever before, young adult (YA) literature is at the center of some of the most interesting literary conversations, as writers, readers, and publishers discuss its wide appeal in the twenty-first century. My dissertation joins this vibrant discussion by examining the ways in which YA literature has transformed to respond to changing social and technological contexts. Today, writing, reading, and marketing YA means engaging with technological advances, multiliteracies and multimodalities, and cultural and social perspectives. A critical examination of five YA texts – Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Libba Bray’s Beauty Queens, Daniel Handler’s Why We Broke Up, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Ghosts of Ashbury High – helps to shape understanding about the changes and the challenges facing this category of literature as it responds in a variety of ways to new contexts. In the first chapter, I explore the history of YA literature in order to trace the ways that this literary category has changed in response to new conditions to appeal to and serve a new generation of readers, readers with different experiences, concerns, and contexts over time.

    A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (Guest Post)*

    “A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (guest post)* Garrison Keillor “Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie.” On July 6, 1974, before a crowd of maybe a dozen people (certainly less than 20), a live radio variety program went on the air from the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. It was called “A Prairie Home Companion,” a name which at once evoked a sense of place and a time now past--recalling the “Little House on the Prairie” books, the once popular magazine “The Ladies Home Companion” or “The Prairie Farmer,” the oldest agricultural publication in America (founded 1841). The “Prairie Farmer” later bought WLS radio in Chicago from Sears, Roebuck & Co. and gave its name to the powerful clear channel station, which blanketed the middle third of the country from 1928 until its sale in 1959. The creator and host of the program, Garrison Keillor, later confided that he had no nostalgic intent, but took the name from “The Prairie Home Cemetery” in Moorhead, MN. His explanation is both self-effacing and humorous, much like the program he went on to host, with some sabbaticals and detours, for the next 42 years. Origins Gary Edward “Garrison” Keillor was born in Anoka, MN on August 7, 1942 and raised in nearby Brooklyn Park. His family were not (contrary to popular opinion) Lutherans, instead belonging to a strict fundamentalist religious sect known as the Plymouth Brethren.

    1 Trinity Church in the City of Boston the Rev. Morgan S. Allen October

    Trinity Church in the City of Boston The Rev. Morgan S. Allen October 25, 2020 II Stewardship, Matthew 22:34-46 Come Holy Spirit, and enkindle in the hearts of your faithful, the fire of your Love. Amen. Stephin Merritt and Claudia Gonson spent the summer of 1983 sitting on “The Wall,” the red brick relief behind the Harvard Square subway station. Merritt, a graduate of The Cambridge School of Weston, met Gonson, a Concord Academy graduate, during their high-school years.i The pair first bonded over Gonson’s David Bowie Songbook for the piano, beginning a four- decade musical partnership, most notably in the band, The Magnetic Fields. In Strange Powers, a 2010 documentary about Merritt and the group, Gonson recalls of that summer: “We would sit there on ‘The Wall’ with many punk rockers of varying types of mohawk length … kids whose names were like, ‘Toby Skinhead,’ and ‘Phlegm.’ Complete freedom, total vagrancy – it was awesome.”ii Despite these fond roots, The Magnetic Fields’ music does not neatly fit a punk’s jambox, and neither does Merritt’s unconventional, often sardonic verse rest easy in effete prep school classrooms. The band’s primary live instruments include piano, ukulele, cello, and banjo, and their studio albums incorporate unusual noisemakers (kitchen whisks and frog-callers, among others) and long-unfashionable electronica sounds.iii Yet, sometimes, their quirk, cleverness, and brilliance, click. For my ear and heart, this happens most often in their musically sparest and lyrically simplest efforts, and my favorite of their catalogue borrows on that most common of song titles: “The Book of Love.” In a deep, unemotive baritone, Merritt imagines what sort of tome that compendium would be.iv He sings: The book of love is long and boring [And] No one can liFt the … thing It’s full of charts, and facts and figures, and instructions for dancing.
