  • Elif Şafak's the Saint of Incipient Insanities As an “International” Novel
    Elif Şafak’s The Saint of Incipient Insanities as an “International” Novel Elif Oztabek-Avci e Saint of Incipient Insanities is Elif Şafak’s fi rst novel written in English. It is also the fi rst novel in English written by a contemporary Turkish writer.1 Şafak (or Shafak) has joined the growing group of in- ternational writers who write in English although it is not their mother tongue, and e Saint of Incipient Insanities has been shelved in book- stores among other examples of “the rapid, extensive and many-sided internationalization of literatures at the end of the twentieth century” (Dhardwadker 59). e aim of this article is to explore how Shafak’s novel tackles the grip of nation on writers, especially on those from formerly colonized and/or so-called developing countries of the world, by focusing on the novel’s publication processes and the writer’s use of English in the novel. In his article Vinay Dhardwadker draws attention to a paradox: na- tionalism, he holds, is “an essential ingredient in the contemporary internationalization of literatures” (63). He suggests this paradoxical sit- uation is the result of the eff orts made by ex-colonized new nations to defi ne their “cultural identities” through literature (produced both by writers writing in their native tongue and by those writing in English): ey have established local and national councils of the arts; provided state funding for writers and literary institutions in the form of fellowships and grants; subsidized educational sys- tems, libraries, publishers, and literary media; instituted na- tional and international conferences, book fairs, and literary awards; and funded programmes for lectures, readings, and tours at home and abroad.

As a study of My Antonia and succeeding novels in the light of Willa Cather's "land-philosophy" reveals, 0 Pioneers! repre­ sents an important but obviously partial enlbodiment of her full artistic vision. Granted, in 0 Pioneers! the land actually figures as a character, contributing to the action of the novel. But while depending as much as ever on the land as a vehicle for convey­ ing her vision in succeeding novels, Miss Cather progressively achieves a certain physical detachment from that land, along with a corresponding enlargement of her discernment. She ex­ plores and illumines the areas of the family, mechanization, art, learning and religion in the light of her inclusive "land­ philosophy," at the same time that she stands, feet firmly planted, in the world of the five senses. In fine, she immerses her readers in visible, tangible reality, awakens them to the transcendent, reveals their inextricable inter-connection, and, in The Professor's House and Death Comes for the Archbishop, advances through the subtleties and complexities of life's materials to a hard-won, convincing artistic vision.

  • The Trouble with Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels
    The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Spring 2008 © March 17, 2008 Blair Elizabeth Nosan Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Anne Herrmann, for her discerning eye and her vital input throughout this writing process. Scotti Parrish for her encouragement and willingness to devote time and concern to the entire thesis cohort. Her support has been indispensable. And Megan Sweeney for her inspiration, and her suggestion of resources—including two of the three novels I have analyzed as primary sources. I am indebted to Eileen Pollack, who was willing to meet with me and provide a personal interview, which was central to my analysis of her work. I have also benefited from the support of my roommates, Peter Schottenfels, Jacob Nathan, and Anna Bernstein, who have provided me with a respite, which was often greatly needed. To my friend Claire Smith who edited this essay in its entirety, and to Nicole Cohen, the 2008 honors cohort, and my sister Loren: these individuals devoted their time and effort to my project and I am very grateful. Finally, I want to thank my family, who not only supported my decision to remain at university for an extra year in order to pursue this very thesis, but also for providing me with emotional guidance throughout this rollercoaster of an experience.

  • Suggested Summer Reading List for High School and Faculty Saint Ann’S School, 2015
    Suggested Summer Reading List for High School and Faculty Saint Ann’s School, 2015 Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi. Half of a Yellow Sun Adichie’s novel tells the story of a moment in African history that few of us know much about: Nigeria’s civil war. The story follows several characters over the course of a decade, including a houseboy, a university professor and the professor’s beautiful mistress, whose sister is the object of an expatriate British writer’s affection (we follow the two of them also). Half of a Yellow Sun is a novel rich in history and character, one that takes us through the war’s origins and its devastating (and lasting) impact on the country and the family at the center of the story. Readers who loved Americanah are sure to devour this complex, haunting novel. (Melissa Kantor) Al-Khalili, Jim. The House of Wisdom: How Arabic Science Saved Ancient Knowledge and Gave Us the Renaissance I assigned this book last year because it's the only book that tells the story of one of the great Golden Ages of Science in world history, from Baghdad in the 9th century to Toledo in the 11th-12th centuries—when Europe was medieval, China had no algebra, and the most advanced American science was Maya calendrical arithmetic. Because it is so clear, charming and readable, I'll be assigning it again next year. Jim Al-Khalili is a Baghdad-born physics teacher in England who knows his subject and, more importantly, knows how to present it both historically and entertainingly.

  • “GO to JOSEPH” Brother George Schmitz, C.S.C
    “GO TO JOSEPH” Brother George Schmitz, C.S.C. Moreau Province Greetings in this year dedicated to Saint Joseph. I welcome this opportunity to share some reflections on the deep love of God and steadfast commitment to carrying out the will of God that we find in the heart of Saint Joseph. Go to Joseph. We hear these words early in salvation history. In the Book of Genesis, these are the words of Pharaoh. Joseph, son of Jacob, the slave boy, interpreted Pharaoh’s dream that seven years of plenty would be followed by seven years of famine. His prediction elevated him to a position like that of a prime minister. He wisely told the people to gather provisions in warehouses during the years of abundance. And when drought brought famine, and the people of Egypt cried out to Pharaoh for bread, he told them: "Go to Joseph and do what he tells you." And this same advice – Go to Joseph - was adopted by our founder and became the mantra of Saint Brother André. With such wise counsel, we, too, can go to Joseph with great confidence. We must never hesitate to go to Saint Joseph because he will be a faithful companion during our journey through life. Another powerful saint who knew this was Saint Teresa of Avila. In her autobiography, she mentions that she was healed from a serious illness through the intercession of Saint Joseph. "I took the glorious Saint Joseph for my patron and lord and sincerely entrusted myself to him. I discovered that he freed me both from my illness, and also from other major problems related to my honor and the loss of my soul.
