Everything Must Go (Original Writing, Short Stories)., David Gregory. Burke
Everything Must Go (Original Writing, Short Stories)., David Gregory. Burke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Reading group discussion guide. (1) Is the proliferation of footnotes in the work an effort by the author, as Norman Mailer suggests, to compensate for his small genitalia? (2) The author writes primarily of lonely, college-age men who live in quiet apartments. As a biographical reading, can this be seen as a fear of aloneness considering the author's inability to move out of the house in which he still, at age twenty-six, comfortably lives with his parents? (3) The author has asked the reader to send, in total, $1941.09. Given the author's penchant for sleazy women and Snapple, where do …

Beyond The Blazon: The Female Body As Experienced In Four Eighteenth-Century Novels By Women (Charlotte Lennox, Sarah Scott, Fanny Burney, Maria Edgeworth)., Susan Colleen. Mcneill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This project shows how four eighteenth-century women writers dealt with the dawning of consciousness about the forces acting on the female body and the embodiment that consequently shapes the role of women in society. The issue of female experience in the body is explored in Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote (1752), Sarah Scott's A Description of Millenium Hall (1762), Fanny Burney's Evelina (1778), and Maria Edgeworth's Belinda (1801). In each of these novels the issues of female self-awareness, the cultural construction of femininity and the female body, and the concepts of education, masquerade, deception, illness, and sexuality are explored with …
Migration And Hybridity: Stereoscopic Vision In The Novels Of Rushdie, Mukherjee, And Ghosh (Salman Rushdie, Bharati Mukherjee, Amitav Ghosh, India)., Idil. Bozkurt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis analyzes migrant fictions written by three Indian-English writers who examine both the difficulties and the prospects of displacement by presenting characters that undergo radical changes in their sense of space, social identifications, self and body image as a result of movement. It is founded on the argument that the plurality in a migrant's experience endows her with multiple subject positions that can negotiate contradicting cultural discourses. Hybridity, which signifies the embodiment of multiple subject positions and cultural belongings, provides an energy field of differences out of which creativity and resistance to master narratives of dominant cultures emerge. The …
Liminality And The Vanishing American: Discussions Of The Imaginary Indian In Selected Works Of Zane Grey., Joseph Clifford. O'Neill
Liminality And The Vanishing American: Discussions Of The Imaginary Indian In Selected Works Of Zane Grey., Joseph Clifford. O'Neill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper closely analyses the Native American stereotype as presented in selected novels of Zane Grey. Brief explanations of the western formula novel, the Imaginary Indian and American colonial attitudes, and the anthropological concept of liminality provide theoretical background for the paper. This leads to an exegesis of selected Zane Grey novels in order to determine how the Native American is presented. The paper argues that while Grey makes use of the Indian stereotype, he does so in a fashion appropriate to the plot of each novel, and he gradually moves from stereotyping to the creation of developed Native American …
Photoblur (Original Writing, Novel)., John Sigurd. Gudmundson
Photoblur (Original Writing, Novel)., John Sigurd. Gudmundson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The idea that context shapes text is traceable to Aristotle who identified poetry or "making" with the form or plot that best appeals to audience expectations. Today's complex world, with its host of competing truths, requires texts that reflect this confusion. My novel reacts to this context, appealing to expectations in both form and story. What are those expectations? The current appetite for shorter texts and the popularity of the short novel might be explained by a growing alliterate population, an educated group who value books, but who have little time to read them. Yet reading hasn't declined altogether. Current …
