Download or read book Making Shapely Fiction written by Jerome Stern and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deft analysis and appreciation of fiction—what makes it work and what can make it fail. Here is a book about the craft of writing fiction that is thoroughly useful from the first to the last page—whether the reader is a beginner, a seasoned writer, or a teacher of writing. You will see how a work takes form and shape once you grasp the principles of momentum, tension, and immediacy. "Tension," Stern says, "is the mother of fiction. When tension and immediacy combine, the story begins." Dialogue and action, beginnings and endings, the true meaning of "write what you know," and a memorable listing of don'ts for fiction writers are all covered. A special section features an Alphabet for Writers: entries range from Accuracy to Zigzag, with enlightening comments about such matters as Cliffhangers, Point of View, Irony, and Transitions.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • John Barth's lively, highly original collection of short pieces is a major landmark of experimental fiction exploring themes of purpose and the meaning of existence. "[Barth] ran riot over literary rules and conventions, even as he displayed, with meticulous discipline, mastery of and respect for them." —The New York Times From its opening story, "Frame-Tale"--printed sideways and designed to be cut out by the reader and twisted into a never-ending Mobius strip--to the much-anthologized "Life-Story," whose details are left to the reader to "fill in the blank," Barth's acclaimed collection challenges our ideas of what fiction can do. Highlights include the Homerian story-wthin-a-story-within-a-story (times seven) of "Menalaiad,' and "Night-Sea Journey," a first-person account of a confused human sperm on its way to fertilize an egg. All of the characters in Lost in the Funhouse are searching, in one way or another, for their purpose and the meaning of their existence. Together, their stories form a kaleidescope of exuberant metafictional inventiveness.

Download or read book They written by Kay Dick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark, dystopian portrait of artists struggling to resist violent suppression—“queer, English, a masterpiece.” (Hilton Als) Set amid the rolling hills and the sandy shingle beaches of coastal Sussex, this disquieting novel depicts an England in which bland conformity is the terrifying order of the day. Violent gangs roam the country destroying art and culture and brutalizing those who resist the purge. As the menacing “They” creep ever closer, a loosely connected band of dissidents attempt to evade the chilling mobs, but it’s only a matter of time until their luck runs out. Winner of the 1977 South-East Arts Literature Prize, Kay Dick’s They is an uncanny and prescient vision of a world hostile to beauty, emotion, and the individual.

Download or read book To Make Negro Literature written by Elizabeth McHenry and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In To Make Negro Literature Elizabeth McHenry traces African American authorship in the decade following the 1896 legalization of segregation. She shifts critical focus from the published texts of acclaimed writers to unfamiliar practitioners whose works reflect the unsettledness of African American letters in this period. Analyzing literary projects that were unpublished, unsuccessful, or only partially achieved, McHenry recovers a hidden genealogy of Black literature as having emerged tentatively, laboriously, and unevenly. She locates this history in books sold by subscription, in lists and bibliographies of African American authors and books assembled at the turn of the century, in the act of ghostwriting, and in manuscripts submitted to publishers for consideration and the letters of introduction that accompanied them. By attending to these sites and prioritizing overlooked archives, McHenry reveals a radically different literary landscape, revising concepts of Black authorship and offering a fresh account of the development of “Negro literature” focused on the never published, the barely read, and the unconventional.

Book excerpt: This Comprehensive Study Of The 'Makers' Of Indian English Literature Ranges From The Sporadic But Landmark Voices Of The Nineteenth Century To The Spurting Creativity In The Post-Rushdie, Contemporary Scenario. The Contributors, Unswayed By The Increasing Threat Of Publisher - Media Offensive To Appropriate The Critical Function, Firmly Adhere To The Time-Tested Tradition Of Explorations. They Interrogate Inflated Reputations, Underscore Unnoticed Achievements, And Probe The Mush Contested Inadequacy Of Indian English Poetry And The Paucity Of Indian English Drama. The Literary Discourse Is Largely Focused On Tradition And Avant-Garde, Indigeneous Roots And Western Influences, Colonial And Post-Colonial Perspectives, And Self-Indentity And Heterogeneity (Even Hybridity) In Indian English Writing. The Volume Also Investigates The Problematic Of Using The English Language To Filter And Indian Experience, Especially In Terms Of Departures From Standard English Constructions, Semantic Neologisms, Nativization Of The Language, And Cross-Cultural Significations. It Scrutinizes The Three Alternative Of Transcreation, Etymological Use And Transliteration For Moulding The English Language Into An Indian Cast. Despite An Increasing Number Of 'Unmaker'S Of Indian English In Indian Society (As Argued In The Last Essay), The Book Paradoxically Posits How The Indian English Writing Has Come Alive As A Vibrant, Autonomous Constituent Of Contemporary International English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER, New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, and a Best Book of the Year from NPR, Boston Globe, BuzzFeed, and others. The mesmerizing story of one woman's rise from circus rider to courtesan to world-renowned diva—"a brilliant performance" (Washington Post). The Queen of the Night tells the captivating story of Lilliet Berne, an orphan who left the American frontier for Europe and was swept into the glamour and terror of Second Empire France. She became a sensation of the Paris Opera, with every accolade but an original role—her chance at immortality. When one is offered to her, she finds the libretto is based on her deepest secret, something only four people have ever known. But who betrayed her? With epic sweep, gorgeous language, and haunting details, Alexander Chee shares Lilliet’s cunning transformation from circus rider to courtesan to legendary soprano, retracing the path that led to the role that could secure her reputation—or destroy her with the secrets it reveals. “It just sounds terrific. It sounds like opera.”—The New Yorker “Sprawling, soaring, bawdy, and plotted like a fine embroidery.”—NPR
