Because adjuncts are people too. What’s on tap. Where we come from. We read. A lot. And not all of it’s student papers. If nothing else we read what we assign, because, well, we have to. And we list our readings for your perusal, because, well, coming up with a reading list solo is. Margaret Atwood, Jamaica Kincaid, T.S. Eliot, Zbigniew Herbert, Sylvia Plath, Angela Carter, Ursula LeGuin, Flannery O’Connor, Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, Andre Dubus. Neal Stephenson’s. How to Breathe Underwater. We indu...

We hate children. We do our song-and-dance routine and wait for them to get it, for the glow of our reward. We are one author as of now.

Because adjuncts are people too. What’s on tap. Where we come from. Composition and Rhetoric: A List. We lesson plan. We outline course policies, syllabuses, calendars. This involves figuring out what readings we’re going to use, when we’re going to assign them, what assignments we’re going to pair them with. Forget about approaching this linearly. This is holistic creation or bust. I believe in transparency. Triangulation. Collaboration. Anything that strikes the beat of idealistic manifesto. Have all m...

The Chaw Shop: Grist for the Miller
http://chawshop.blogspot.com/2011/03/grist-for-miller.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Grist for the Miller. Talking – she explained that, though she could occasionally “get away with” (more on this telling phrase in a bit) reviewing books by worthy minorities or serious novelists, she’s ultimately beholden to her readership. Her loyalty, she told us, is not to the books she discusses, but solely to those nameless clickers scrolling away at home. Laura Miller: the carnival barker of the literary world. There those words were again – “get away with.&#...Where she use...

The Chaw Shop: What's the Big Idea? - Intro & pt. 1
http://chawshop.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-big-idea-intro-pt-1.html
Tuesday, September 6, 2011. What's the Big Idea? Intro and pt. 1. I have sent so many form rejections that some day, I’m sure a very special corner of Writer Hell awaits me: perhaps James Frey. Will stand over me with a whip while I’m forced to piece together copies of his books from a ball pit full of shredded galleys. Yet, in spite of all that, or perhaps because of it, I’ve come to what seems like a counterintuitive conclusion on the craft of the query: I think it barely matters at all. 8221; is a que...

The Chaw Shop: What's the Big Idea? - pt. 4
http://chawshop.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-big-idea-pt-4.html
Friday, September 9, 2011. What's the Big Idea? Last night I saw my old playwriting teacher in a dream. He stood on a plinth in the midst of a desert of white sand as panelists from AWP crept past him on their hands and knees. Some of these he allowed to pass; others he incinerated with a single glance, sizzling them where they lay with blue-white thunderbolts from his eyes. When I say the writer must answer the question, “What is this book about? 8221; what do I mean, and how do I expect him to do it?
