![]() “I want to write short stories like I want to fuck a chicken,” he confided in a letter. Yet to his mind, the long form was the summit of literary achievement, and, not adept at constructing plots, he struggled to write novels. The Stories of John Cheever won the 1979 NBCC award for fiction. Assigned to storm Utah Beach on D-Day, most of the soldiers he had trained with eventually died in combat.Ī handful of Cheever stories, including “The Swimmer,” “The Five Forty-Eight,” “The Country Husband,” “Goodbye, My Brother,” and “The Enormous Radio,” seem indelibly etched into the canon of American literature. On the strength of a collection of short stories, The Way Some People Live, that he himself considered so wretched he tried to destroy all copies of it, Cheever was mustered out of the 22nd Infantry Regiment and into writing fiction for the Army-Navy Screen Magazine in Queens. Writing fiction saved John Cheever’s life.

Were they really “essential”? What do you mean by “classic”? Do they deserve some of the time before I die? What a relief to learn that, on the literary front, Hachette has come up with a list of 11 “modern classics”, labelled Hachette Essentials, which it says will compete with the likes of Vintage and Penguin Modern Classics. My undergraduate copy of The Norton Anthology of English Literature (2582 featherlight pages) remains handy, mostly to help a high schooler with their homework. Next to the bed is 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die (balances out the classical stuff). On my bookshelf is 1001 Classical Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die (roughly one a week, although I’d better get a wriggle on). I’m a sucker for those lists of must-read books, must-listen-to music and must-see art – whatever I think might offer enlightenment, a gem of delight, or be useful for a pub quiz or Trivial Pursuit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nović was awarded the Willis Barnstone Translation Prize in 2013 for her translation of Sarajlić's poem "After I Was Wounded."

An Annotated Bibliography is a listing of resources on a particular topic that describes the information available in each resource and discusses how that information might be useful to a researcher. ![]() Instead of a writing a research paper, students will have the opportunity to find and assess outside resources while they produce an Annotated Bibliography. It is better to start early and work a little bit at a time on this until it is completed. I strongly suggest that students do not wait until the final week to try and accomplish this project at the same time as they are trying to complete the Week 8 work. The final due date for this assignment is Thursday, February 28, 2013, but the dropbox will be open throughout this course. ![]() ![]() ![]() All that’s missing from this murder mystery is the murder. We’ve been here before: the lonely woman in the haunted wood, the enigmatic note, the hunt for clues and closure. “ Death in Her Hands,” Ottessa Moshfegh’s intricate and unsettling new novel, appears at first to occupy familiar territory. Magda was a name for a character with substance.” Has Vesta stumbled upon a kind of confession? “It seemed so sinister all of a sudden. ![]() “This was not a Jenny or Sally or Mary or Sue. ![]() But isn’t “Magda,” as a name, a bit too particular, a bit too realistic, to have been chosen for a prank? Especially in Levant, the white-bread nowheresville town where Vesta lives. ![]() It’s a prank, Vesta thinks: “Somebody was playing games.” The woods disclose no evidence of any crime. Here is her dead body.” But there is no body. On a dawn walk in the birch forest near her isolated rural home, a seventy-two-year-old widow named Vesta Gul finds a handwritten note. Photograph by Jessica Lehrman / NYT / Redux Ottessa Moshfegh’s “Death in Her Hands” is a haunting meditation on the nature and meaning of art. ![]() ![]() ![]() The company initially bought both print and audio rights, although they promised Weir they’d return the print rights if he got a deal with a big publisher. “That’s a dream for audio,” Lawrence said on the phone. ![]() The book is structured such that the narrator, Mark Watney, is recording logs of his time on Mars. He is a big science fiction fan and says he was attracted to the story, of course, but also simply felt that the way the book was written helped its audiobook prospects. Lawrence was the one who actually found Weir’s book, on Amazon. Publishers would really only do an audiobook if was so big that they were looking for ways to make money.” Lawrence and Tonn thought they could change that, by working with the sort of writer who was interested in publishing their audiobook independently. “They were tacked on to the end of a publishing deal. “Audiobooks were an auxiliary business,” Lawrence told the Guardian. ![]() When, as an audio engineer, Lawrence began working in audiobooks, the fit seemed natural. They were both attracted to artists who wanted to work outside of the mainstream channels to success – and they wanted to run something that served that community. Tonn and Lawrence had once hoped to run a music label together, but the advent of Napster and iTunes quashed that dream. ![]() ![]() ![]() The problem with Ghost Story is that it's no more than that – rather nightmarish – it's not really scary and it won't leave you laying awake at night or make you look uneasily over you shoulder (unless you are extremely sensitive). It's not really a ghost story in the classic sense (no white sheets and no rattling chains), but that doesn't stop it from being rather nightmarish. ![]() The rest of Ghost Story is a blend of small interlocking stories painting a bigger picture and ever deeper trips into a nightmare world that turns out to be all to real. Moreover, the rest of the Society has had rather freakish nightmares for the last year and on this night they are finally forced to confront each other with their fears. ![]() As we find out at the CS meet on the one-year anniversary of the dead of one of the (former) Society members, the dead may not have been as natural as one could hope. As we meet the Chowder Society, they are a bunch of old guys who meet every couple of weeks and tell scary stories to each other, but there's more to them than scary stories. ![]() It's hard to review this book without talking about the Chowder Society as most of the story centres around this group of old men and their acquaintances.
