  • PHILIP ROTH and the STRUGGLE of MODERN FICTION by JACK
    PHILIP ROTH AND THE STRUGGLE OF MODERN FICTION by JACK FRANCIS KNOWLES A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2020 © Jack Francis Knowles, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction in partial fulfillment of the requirements submitted by Jack Francis Knowles for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Examining Committee: Ira Nadel, Professor, English, UBC Supervisor Jeffrey Severs, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Michael Zeitlin, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Lisa Coulthard, Associate Professor, Film Studies, UBC University Examiner Adam Frank, Professor, English, UBC University Examiner ii ABSTRACT “Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction” examines the work of Philip Roth in the context of postwar modernism, tracing evolutions in Roth’s shifting approach to literary form across the broad arc of his career. Scholarship on Roth has expanded in both range and complexity over recent years, propelled in large part by the critical esteem surrounding his major fiction of the 1990s. But comprehensive studies of Roth’s development rarely stray beyond certain prominent subjects, homing in on the author’s complicated meditations on Jewish identity, a perceived predilection for postmodern experimentation, and, more recently, his meditations on the powerful claims of the American nation. This study argues that a preoccupation with the efficacies of fiction—probing its epistemological purchase, questioning its autonomy, and examining the shaping force of its contexts of production and circulation— roots each of Roth’s major phases and drives various innovations in his approach.

  • 2015 23Rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
    2015 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace|New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| 5 The 2015 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their works. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease (1943 – 2014) for her foundational support. Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

  • Yaddo News Release
    Yaddo News Release Contact: Tristan Kirvin ▪ 518-584-0746 ▪ [email protected] YADDO RECEIVES $250,000 GIFT FROM HELEN FRANKENTHALER FOUNDATION FOR FUNDING OF NEW LIVE-WORK VISUAL ARTS STUDIO Saratoga Springs, NY, December 3, 2015 …Yaddo, one of the nation’s oldest artist communities, announced today that it has received a $250,000 gift from the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation to underwrite the cost of a new live-work studio for a visual artist. The studio is one of five currently under construction on the 400-acre estate, a National Historic Landmark that welcomes over 200 artists working in a variety of disciplines each year. The visual arts studio will be named in Frankenthaler’s honor. “This gift is deeply meaningful to us in a number of ways,” said Yaddo President Elaina Richardson. “It helps to underscore our rich legacy of hosting incredibly talented visual artists at various stages in their careers, from emerging artists to those who are world-renowned, such as Helen Frankenthaler. The gift also confirms a core fact—the artists who know us best have been remarkable supporters of Yaddo and are the reason we’re poised for a vibrant second century. We are grateful to the Frankenthaler Foundation’s Board and leadership for their generosity, and honored by the trust they have placed in us.” Helen Frankenthaler’s association with Yaddo extended over many years, and included serving on the community’s Board of Trustees from 1973 to 1978. In addition to providing generous financial support for Yaddo, she additionally served on visual arts admissions panels and was actively involved in the recruitment of artists.

PROJECT HEROES Homeland Emergency Response Operational and Equipment Systems Task 1: A Review of Modern Fire Service Hazards and Protection Needs Presented to: National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Post Office Box 18070 626 Cochrans Mill Road Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236 Presented by: Occupational Health and Safety Division International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) 1750 New York Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20006 13 October 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The first task of Project HEROES was undertaken by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) to examine and define the protection needs of fire fighters and other first responders during a broad array of different missions. This task began with a review for how the fire service and its responsibilities have changed over the past 20 years since personal protective equipment (PPE) was then affected by Project FIRES. In that 20 year period, the fire service has evolved to gain responsibility for a larger number of missions. Fire suppression is no longer the chief responsibility for most fire departments, but rather responses to a wide range of missions, including emergency medical aid, technical rescue, and more recently the prospect for terrorism events involving weapons of mass destruction. As America’s fire fighters attempt to keep up with these changing roles, it is noted that the level of preparedness and PPE needed to safety carry out the different missions is often lacking.

  • "Dazzling Hybrids" the Poetry of Anne Carson
    a n Rae "Dazzling Hybrids" The Poetry of Anne Carson The subtitle of A n n e Carson's Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse only hints at t h e variety of g e n r e s that the Montreal poet employs. In Autobiography of Red, Carson brings together seven distinct sec- tions—a "proemium" (6) o r preface on t h e Greek poet Stesichoros, trans- lated fragments of S t e s i c h o r o s ' s Geryoneis, three appendices on t h e blinding of Stesichoros by Helen, a l o n g romance-in-verse recasting Stesichoros's Geryoneis as a c o n t e m p o r a r y gay love affair, and a mock-interview with the "choir-master"—each with its o w n style and story to tell. Carson finds fresh combinations for g e n r e s much as s h e presents myth and gender in a new guise. Although men appear to b e t h e subject of both the romance and the academic apparatus that comes with it, C a r s o n sets the stories of Stesichoros, Geryon, and Herakles within a framework of e p i g r a m s and citations from Gertrude Stein and Emily Dickinson that, far from being subordinate, assumes equal importance with the male-centred narrative when Stein supplants Stesichoros in t h e concluding interview. The shift in speakers and time-frames in t h e interview, as well as the allusions to the myth of I s i s , emphasize Carson's manipulation of m y t h i c forms.

    The Autobiographical Self: Phenomenology and the Limits of Narrative Self-Possession in Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red Stuart J. Murray Ryerson University Philosophic Problems. “I will never know how you see red and you will never know how I see it. But this separation of consciousness is recognized only after a failure of communication, and our first movement is to believe in an undivided being between us.” Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red ’ phenomenological insight to Aparse terms etymologically,¹ we find the following Greek roots when we read into the meaning of “autobiography”: auto- (oneself) + bio- (life) + graphia (writing; from the verb graphein, to write). us, autobiography is the written story of one’s life, one’s life story. And yet, this act of “self”- writing frames “life” (bios) in such a way that the meaning of each term is obscured. “Life” interrupts the act of self-writing, exceeds it, even though the writing is about that life, and occurs within it, necessarily prior to that life’s completion. Is “life” here closer to the act of writing (graphein), closer to the sense of oneself (autos), or something else altogether escaping the autobiography that strives to contain or convey it? And will that “life” be legible?² Is it the case, as Heidegger maintains, that what is closest to us experientially is furthest from us intellectually, least susceptible to analysis ESC .

  • Kenneth Bonert: Balancing Insight, Poetry and a Ripping Good Story
    Wednesday, September 4, 2013 | Volume 2 | Issue 67 Kenneth Bonert: Balancing Insight, Poetry and a Ripping Good Story Kenneth Bonert's fiction has appeared in McSweeney's, Grain and the Fiddlehead, and his journalism has appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post and other publications. His story "Packers and Movers" was shortlisted for Canada's Journey Prize. Born in South Africa, Bonert is the grandson of Lithuanian immigrants. He lives in Toronto. Prior to this novel you wrote some short stories. How did they prepare you to write your first novel? When I began to write fiction, I wrote many short, fantastical, allegorical pieces in the style of Kafka. I experimented with language and form; some of these came close to being published but ultimately were not. I gradually began to write longer, more realistic stories drawn more directly from my own life's experiences. This wasn't a conscious or strategic decision, just a progression that flowed naturally from the work. photo: Richard Dubois The first story I published was about a Jewish family leaving South Africa, set in the late '80s. I think the story worked because the characters were very real to me; the story showed how wider political forces were squeezing one family, moulding the life of the young protagonist. It had a harsh energy and raw feel to it that I liked. I had become very interested in voice and dialogue and I began to see the potential in making use of the slangy mishmash of languages that I had grown up with.
