July 30, 2001 / April 26, 2002 Lowney Turner Handy, writing teacher of James Jones and others, maintained a writing school in southern Illinois. Her teaching approach included the use of various works from her library which students had to read and copy by hand or by using a typewriter in the process of becoming familiar with accomplished writing styles. Most of the books listed below are fiction and poetry, although an occasional title in a different realm is also included. Many of the books are annotated by Handy with comments, sometimes on the pastedown, sometimes in the body of the work.. A few items, notably his own works, were gifts from James Jones. Also included in the collection are published works of other successful students, e.g., Jere Peacock., Tom Chamales, and Edwin Daly. These books were about to be discarded when Elizabeth Bevington, an antiquarian bookseller and member of the Friends of the Cunningham Memorial Library, retrieved them and donated them to the library as the Lowney Turner Handy Library Collection to be housed within the Rare Books Collection.

  • 'Stimulating Our Literature and Deepening Our Culture'
    Quærendo 47 (2017) 222-251 brill.com/qua ‘Stimulating our Literature and Deepening our Culture’ Translated Books as Book-of-the-Month Club Selections, 1926 to 1973 Corinna Norrick-Rühl Gutenberg-Institut für Weltliteratur und schriftorientierte Medien Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany [email protected] Abstract One of the most prominent book clubs in the US was the Book-of-the-Month Club, established in 1926. The Book-of-the-Month Club marketed books as commodities for consumption, promoting leisurely reading among the growing middle class. But the Book-of-the-Month Club also claimed to be ‘stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’, and in fact, dozens of selected authors went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Prize for Literature. The body of research on the Book-of-the-Month Club includes Janice A. Radway’s well-known multi-method study A Feeling for Books (1997). But translations among Book-of-the-Month Club selections have not yet been considered. Focusing in particular on books translated into English from German, this paper will present new data on originally foreign-language books that were selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club judges, thereby guaranteeing European authors maximum visibility and exorbitant sales in the US market, which was (and is) usually considered difficult to tap into for non-Anglophone writers. Keywords book sales clubs – Book-of-the-Month Club – translation(s) – German literature Worldwide, millions of readers have accessed their reading material and enter- tainment media through mail-order book sales clubs like Círculo de Lectores, the Nederlandse Boekenclub, Bertelsmann Club or the Book-of-the-Month © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/15700690-12341383Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:08:03PM via free access ‘Stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’ 223 Club.

  • 1 Unnoticed Until Now by Julia S the Perks of Being a Wallflower
    Unnoticed Until Now By Julia S The Perks of Being a Wallflower Stephen Chbosky MTV Books/Pocket Books Young Adult Literature 213 pages © 1999 “We accept the love we think we deserve.” This line is at the heart of Stephen Chbosky’s novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It is spoken to Charlie, a shy and thoughtful teenager who is trying to find self-value and direction as he nervously enters high school as a freshman. The book is comprised of letters that he writes to an anonymous individual which create the plot of the story. The reader gets to know Charlie’s struggles to value himself and to understand what others endure as they try to be true to their nature and accept each other’s differences. Charlie’s English teacher, Bill, tells him to participate more in life and as a result, he focuses the rest of his year trying to do so with his new friends, Sam and Patrick. Ultimately, the reader learns that this encouragement helps him come of age. Sparking controversy, some schools have banned The Perks of Being a Wallflower due to several aspects in the book. They are opposed to exposing students to topics such as homosexuality and drug use, however, the author’s intent was to point out the effect of these issues on the life of teenagers. Chbosky expresses his support for gay rights through the character Patrick, one of Charlie’s closest friends. The author’s understanding and acceptance of Patrick’s struggle may inspire people to open up to friends and family.
