The New Narrative Review: January 2012
http://narrativereview.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The New Narrative Review. A lifetime of books. One week at a time. Friday, January 20, 2012. LCC: PS2116 .D3 1900. Is Daisy Miller a slut or does she just act like one? A crude way to put it, I know. This is the question that Henry James's protagonist Winterbourne cannot seem to answer. Nancy Bentley. Has written that so much of James's novels consist of "girl watching." I'm sure the category works for James's other works, but it seems to me to be a most apt description of his novella Daisy Miller. Forgi...

The New Narrative Review: Hiatus
http://narrativereview.blogspot.com/2012/03/hiatus.html
The New Narrative Review. A lifetime of books. One week at a time. Friday, March 16, 2012. Hiatus is a horrible word in blogging, but at times it becomes a necessary one. On the "About Me" section of this blog it reads "ASK is a writer, editor, and PhD." Now, I'm actually getting paid for the editing portion of that description. Among the things I've had on my plate lately:. Revising a dissertation chapter for journal publication. Working on a conference presentation on Ishmael Reed's Juice. Still, becau...

Loquats and milk.: Democracy in a field of brambles.
http://loquatsandmilk.blogspot.com/2011/11/democracy-in-field-of-brambles_13.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. Democracy in a field of brambles. What’s fascinating is not only that this is in the text, but that it goes largely ignored by Christian anarchists, who, as far as I know, focus almost exclusively on the pre-Pauline New Testament. Enter the Book of Judges, chapter 9. Gideon's already refused the throne and denied it to his sons on the grounds that no human king should rule over Israel (see what I mean? I think this sums up the current political landscape rather nicely:. 13 But ...

Loquats and milk.: If the hat fits...
http://loquatsandmilk.blogspot.com/2011/03/if-hat-fits.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. If the hat fits. The cool was a whitened degenerative form of bebop. And when mainline America was vaguely hipped, the TV people (wizards of total communication) began to use it to make people buy cigarettes and deodorants . . . or put life into effeminate dicks (uhh, detectives). The white boys slid into all the studio gigs, playing 'their' music, for sure. LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), "Jazz and the White Critic." 1966. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If the hat fits.

Loquats and milk.: My favorite literary genre.
http://loquatsandmilk.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-favorite-literary-genre.html
Wednesday, March 24, 2010. My favorite literary genre. One of my student evaluations for this past quarter complains that I'm too politically conservative. That's a first. It's sort of ambiguously worded, but I think the complaint is actually that I avoided stressing my own liberal biases and this student (presumably of my own political stripe) would have liked me to be a little more forceful with my leftist interpretations. So take that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If the hat fits. Society for t...

Shirley Jackson’s Unsettling Freedom. June 27, 2014 at 3:37 pm Posted in fiction. In October, I decided on a whim to read Shirley Jackson’s. The Haunting of Hill House. 1959): because it was “in my period” (20th century American), because it was written by a woman, and because it seemed appropriately “Halloweeny.” Since then I’ve been on a minor streak: a few months ago I read. We Have Always Lived in the Castle. 1963), and I’ve just finished. The Haunting of Hill House,. In particular provoked shocks of...
