The award was presented May 8 during the university’s com- mencement ceremony. “This award honors Dr. Wilson for his scholarly contributions and his role in anticipating, inspiring, and facilitating a field of interdisciplinary research known as Southern Studies,” said Alice M. Clark, vice chancellor of re- search and sponsored programs. “Dr. Wilson’s scholarship on Southern religion, memory, and culture has elevated obser- vances of life in the South to an area of academic inquiry.” Formerly director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, Wilson published his first book,Baptized in Blood: The Religion of the Lost Cause, 1865–1920, in 1980; it was reprint- ed with a new preface in 2009. According to his successor as Center director, Ted Ownby, “In that book Wilson helped an- ticipate a movement in the past generation that studies mem- ory as both politics and psychology.

  • 2016 Fiction Longlist Release FINAL
    RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 Contact: Sherrie Young 9:30 a.m. EDT National Book Foundation (212) 685-0261 [email protected] 2016 NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS LONGLIST FOR FICTION The ten contenders for the National Book Award for Fiction. New York, NY (September 15, 2016) – The National Book Foundation today announced the Longlist for the 2016 National Book Award for Fiction. Finalists will be revealed on October 13. (Please note that this date was originally set for October 12, but has been changed to acknowledge Yom Kippur.) The Fiction Longlist includes a former National Book Award Winner for Young People’s Literature and two titles by former National Book Award Finalists for Fiction. The list also includes three Pulitzer Prize finalists. One title is currently shortlisted for the 2016 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction and another was recently selected for Oprah’s Book Club. There is one debut novel on the list. The year’s Longlist is told from and about locations all around the world. Authors hail from and titles explore locations that range from Alaska, New Delhi, Bulgaria, and even a reimagined United States. Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad follows Cora, a fugitive slave, as she escapes the south on a literal underground railroad in a speculative historical fiction that reckons with the true legacy of liberation and escape. In a very different journey, former Pulitzer Prize finalist Lydia Millet’s Sweet Lamb of Heaven follows a mother as she traverses the country with her daughter, fleeing her powerful husband. What Belongs to You, a debut novel by Garth Greenwell, finds its American narrator in Sofia, Bulgaria attempting to reconcile the shame and desire bound up in his own sexuality.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Pelican Road by Howard Bahr ISBN 13: 9781596922891. From the acclaimed author of The Judas Field , a beautiful and haunting portrait of the men who served on the great American railroads. It’s Christmas Eve, 1940. Along an isolated stretch of railway between Meridian, Mississippi, and New Orleans, Louisiana, two locomotives travel toward one another through the dark winter landscape. A.P. Dunn, engineer aboard the 4512 southbound freight, reminisces about the last trip he made through the snow. And though he can remember every detail about that voyage in 1923, what he can’t recall are the events of a few hours ago — where he ate breakfast, how he got the gash on his forehead, or what he did to make his crew treat him so strangely. On the northbound Silver Star, a luxury passenger train packed with returning college students and gift-bearing families, brakeman Artemus Kane has his own memories to contend with: French trenches and German snipers, a failed marriage, and a too-short layover spent with Anna, the brilliant and lonely woman he has just left behind in the Crescent City. In Pelican Road , Howard Bahr returns to his greatest theme — the tragic nobility of those attempting to overcome difficult situations through love, honor, and sacrifice — and shows that on the railway, catastrophe is never more than a distracted moment away. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Howard Bahr was born in Meridian, Mississippi. During the Vietnam War, he was a gunner’s mate in the U.S.

Thomas Winter 2001 Bahr, Howard The Year of Jubilo: A Novel of the Civil War. Henry Holt & Company, 2000-05-01. ISBN 805059725 Howard Bahr is already well-known to readers as the author of the acclaimed novel The Black Flower, a powerful and elegantly written book that captured the essential detail and wrenching violence of men in battle as have few other works of fiction about the Civil War or any other war. Now he has returned with another performance of equal skill and astonishing complexity. Despite its subtitle, "A Novel of the Civil War," The Year of Jubilo is not so much about the conflict itself as the aftermath of the War, that period between surrender and the full onset of Reconstruction, when anger was still hot on both sides, as they sought to find a balance between the strong hold of the past and the uncertainties of the future. Confederate soldiers were returning home to find their homes destroyed or their families dispersed, Federal troops billeted to maintain civil order and peace, and occasional forays by remnants of local irregulars intent on fanning the flames of war again.
