But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven't quite prepared her for starting school in the US - and her new label of 'Middle Eastern,' an identity she's never known before. But this life also brings unexpected surprises--there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude just might try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. Rain Reign - Ann M.

  • Acclaiming the Future
    Name: Anouk van der Zee Student number: 3467449 Format: Bachelor thesis Supervisor: dr. Barnita Bagchi Acclaiming the Future A Critical Analysis of the Contemporary Value of High Fantasy Literature Foreword to this thesis I took the opportunity to write about a genre I feel passionate about for this thesis. As I started to look for secondary literature to support my analyses, what I found was almost completely based on related topics, not much on high fantasy itself. Especially on the subject of the fan- tastic, which is close but ultimately not relevant to my choice of genre. I’ve used one line from Todorov’s The Fantastic—almost the go-to work for literary critics interested in this area—in all, and it was a quote from another text to support the claim that the fantastic differs from the marvellous, on which high fantasy is built. As I started to worry about the sustainability of my own thesis, I realised that this is my topic. Consider everything that has been allowed to wear the tag of literature in the last few decades. Some of these definitely fall into the popular or cult category, yet are given serious considera- tion. Not high fantasy, as if the genre were already dead and buried with no other frontrunner than Tolkien. But when a genre—any genre—is still alive, turning out novels and having pu- blishers especially devoted to it (such as Tor Books), literary criticism cannot assume that no other literary work will be turned out. Therefore, its quiet refusal to pay serious attention to the genre is incomprehensible, even unreasonable, and has created a very dismissive atmos- phere—from the critics down to the mainstream reader public.

We met together at Chen’s Noodle House, a Chinese restaurant in Orem, UT (the place was Dan Wells’ idea).

In case you don’t know, I’m a professional fantasy novelist. My first book, Elantris, was published in some thirteen languages, earned me a Campbell nomination, and got starred reviews in Publisher’s Weekly and the Library Journal. It was also picked by Barnes and Noble editors as the best fantasy or science fiction book of the year.

I’m hard at work on the twelfth and final novel in this series, titled A MEMORY OF LIGHT. It should be out sometime in the fall or winter of 2009. Coincidentally, that should be the same year Warbreaker is released. (Currently, it is scheduled for June 2009.) How this Book Came About Warbreaker is something of an experiment for me.

  • Mythmoot VI: Dragons!
    Mythmoot VI: Dragons! Abstracts for Sunday, June 30, 2019 Academic Presentations (9:00 – 10:30 am) Main Room The Quest for the Kosher Dragon: Looking for the Jewish in Tolkien – Arthur Harrow ​ As a Jewish reader of fantasy literature, it can sometimes be a little frustrating when allegory and religious references pop up and they are either from Christian literature or are Christian interpretations of Jewish literature. Knowing that Tolkien was a trained scholar who was not only Catholic but would have been aware of Jewish scholarly work, I set myself the quest of finding a religious reference or allegory that not only spoke to me as a Jew but also is consistent with Tolkien’s background and education. I wanted to find something in the works of Tolkien that as a Jewish reader I can identify with. And I wanted to find this entirely within the text of the published works (The SIlmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of The Rings) without having to try to divine authorial intent. In the course of this search, I have looked at possible Jewish references that would be horrifyingly offensive; possible Jewish references that are positive but are definitely from the non-Jewish perspective, and finally something that is both positive, Jewish, and most importantly consistent with the Jewish point of view. And it was unexpected, counterintuitive, and very gratifying. One might even say eucatastrophic. Please join me on this epic journey. Dr. Harrow is a graduate of Rice University and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas; he practices Internal Medicine in Baltimore, where he is on faculty at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
