  • THE SOUL of a HORSE Life Lessons from the Herd
    THE SOUL OF A HORSE Life Lessons from the Herd Romps into its Fourth Printing Only Eight Months After Publication The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd romped into its fourth printing by Random House/Harmony Books barely eight months after publication, well on its way to changing traditional thinking about horses forever. Joe Camp, whom The New York Times has called "a master storyteller" said, "I couldn't be happier. My greatest fear was that people would think this book was just for horse lovers, but that has not been the case." The book went into its fourth printing January 7, 2009 after hitting its first best seller lists just before Christmas. "Reviews and word-of-mouth have been amazing," Camp said. "One called it Marley & Me on a mission, which is pretty impressive company. We're making a big difference in the lives of horses and people all across the country, and that carries with it one terrific feeling." Joe Camp is a man used to trusting his instincts--and he's usually right. In the early 1970s, Joe knew he had a special story to tell about a dog. But Hollywood didn't see what Joe saw, and he was met with "no" at every turn. Believing in the story he had to tell, Joe produced, directed, and distributed the movie himself--and the phenomenon of Benji was born and became the #3 movie of the year. When Joe became a new horse owner a mere three years ago by way of a birthday surprise from his wife, Kathleen, he once again trusted his instincts.

  • Writing Communities: Aesthetics, Politics, and Late Modernist Literary Consolidation
    WRITING COMMUNITIES: AESTHETICS, POLITICS, AND LATE MODERNIST LITERARY CONSOLIDATION by Elspeth Egerton Healey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John A. Whittier-Ferguson, Chair Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel Associate Professor Joshua L. Miller Assistant Professor Andrea Patricia Zemgulys © Elspeth Egerton Healey _____________________________________________________________________________ 2008 Acknowledgements I have been incredibly fortunate throughout my graduate career to work closely with the amazing faculty of the University of Michigan Department of English. I am grateful to Marjorie Levinson, Martha Vicinus, and George Bornstein for their inspiring courses and probing questions, all of which were integral in setting this project in motion. The members of my dissertation committee have been phenomenal in their willingness to give of their time and advice. Kali Israel’s expertise in the constructed representations of (auto)biographical genres has proven an invaluable asset, as has her enthusiasm and her historian’s eye for detail. Beginning with her early mentorship in the Modernisms Reading Group, Andrea Zemgulys has offered a compelling model of both nuanced scholarship and intellectual generosity. Joshua Miller’s amazing ability to extract the radiant gist from still inchoate thought has meant that I always left our meetings with a renewed sense of purpose. I owe the greatest debt of gratitude to my dissertation chair, John Whittier-Ferguson. His incisive readings, astute guidance, and ready laugh have helped to sustain this project from beginning to end. The life of a graduate student can sometimes be measured by bowls of ramen noodles and hours of grading.

  • Queenie: Smudging the Distinctions Between Black and White
    QUEENIE: SMUDGING THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE Mark Haslam On Sunday May 10, 1987 and Monday May 11, 1987, ABC Television in the United States aired a two-part made-for-TV movie named Queenie. Queenie is a rare example of the treatment of Anglo-Indians in popular film, television, or in this case a film made for television. The film is based on a book, by the same name, by Michael Korda. Korda’s book is structured on the life of his aunt and Hollywood legend Merle Oberon, who is widely considered to have been Anglo-Indian. This paper investigates the text and context of Queenie in light of Ella Shohat’s assertion that: "ethnicity and race inhere in virtually all film, not only in those where ethnic issues appear on the "epidermic" surface of the text." In brief, an Anglo-Indian is anyone of European descent in the male line who is of mixed European and Indian blood. I myself am an Anglo-Indian, born and raised in Calcutta, India. I have also been involved in image-making and history-telling of the Anglo-Indian community, primarily through a television documentary that aired on national television in Canada in 1992-93. These significant experiences help frame my reading of Queenie. Firstly, I frame my reading of the film through my familiarity with some of the oral history of the community and some of the historical literature. Secondly, I frame my reading through my own experience of living as an Anglo- Indian - relating to others within and outside of my community; and at different points in time internalizing the stereotypes or fighting against them.

    No. IRVING WALLACE: THE MAKING OF A BESTSELLER W. John Leverence A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY -June 1974 Approved by Doctoral Committee (/3. Advisor Department of English Graduate School Representative &-S-7} Janus ia£\^ BOWLING GREEK STATE UNWERSiW LIBRARY il ABSTRACT Having served as a newspaperman, a foreign correspondent during World War II, a major participant in the famous "Why We Fight Series" for the Army Signal Corps, a magazine writer, a studio contract writer, and a novelist, Irving Wallace's career is a number of careers in amal­ gam. During any stage of his life as a professional writer he could be considered a paradigm by which one could learn of the problems and pos­ sibilities of that area of professional writing. How he achieved his position as one of the world's most successful writers is a remarkable story, not only of Irving Wallace, but of the structures of success and failure in the day-to-day world of American commercial writers. In late January, 1973, Irving Wallace began depositing manuscripts, letters and ephemera in the archives of The Center For The Study of Popular Culture, Bowling Green University. This study is based upon those materials and further information provided this researcher by Mr. Wallace. This study concluded that the novels of Irving Wallace are the­ matic and structural extensions of his careers in journalism and film writing. The craft and discipline of journalism and film writing served him well in his apprenticeship as a writer, but were finally restrictive to him because of their commercial nature.

  • Michael Korda
    Michael Korda From Wikipedia Born in London, Michael Korda is the son of English actress Gertrude Musgrove, and the Hungarian Jewish artist and film production designer Vincent Korda. He is the nephew of film magnate Sir Alexander Korda and brother, Zoltan Korda, both film directors. Korda grew up in England but received part of his education in France where his father had worked with film director Marcel Pagnol. As a child, Korda also lived in the United States from 1941 to 1946. He was schooled at the private Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland and read History at Magdalen College, Oxford. He served in the Royal Air Force doing intelligence work in Germany. The novelist Graham Greene was a lifelong friend. Korda met him on his Uncle Alex Korda's yacht. Career Korda moved to New York City in 1957 where he worked for playwright Sidney Kingsley as a research assistant and then later as a freelance reader in the CBS story department. In 1958 he joined the book publishing firm, Simon & Schuster, beginning as an assistant editor, which included the task of reading slush pile manuscripts for Henry Simon. Many editors stick to one area of interest, but early on Korda demonstrated an ability and interest in editing both fiction and non-fiction. He states in his memoir that he edited books on everything from mathematics and philosophy, memoirs, fiction, translations from French, politics, anthropology and science history among others. One of the first books Korda bought was The Forest People by Colin Turnbull—a memoir of Turnbull's time living with the Mbuti Pygmies in the then Belgian Congo.
