Welcome To Boomland, Cebrun Abe Gaustad
Doctoral Dissertations
Abe Gaustad's first collection of stories, Welcome to Boomland, explores the lives of disparate characters longing for some escape. Whether a paraplegic blues aficionado or a boy who finds a strange object in the woods, they are each searching for a way out of their stagnation. Yet each character is trapped by their own unique circumstance: some of them by their mistakes, some by ruthless dictators, some by the very notion of death. As they search for their freedom, they find out new things about themselves and manage to wage quiet rebellions against those that would control them. In the …

Speaking In Tongues: Margaret Laurence's A Jest Of God As Gothic Narrative, Karen Stein
Speaking In Tongues: Margaret Laurence's A Jest Of God As Gothic Narrative, Karen Stein
Karen F Stein
Margaret Laurence's A Jest of God has strong affinities to Claire Kahane's analysis of the Gothic narrative tradition: these include the supernatural, sleep-like states, difficulties in telling a story, discovery of secrets, discussions of female sexuality, absent mothers, a secret room, a controlling male figure, a mysterious lover, and different narrative voices. Gothic novels also explore the position of women in the home and family. Laurence incorporates Gothic conventions but modifies them, allowing her heroine, Rachel, to find her own voice(s) and escape from the guilt, shame, and imprisonment of her past.

It shall be the aim in this discussion to search out the very early traces of fictional forms similar to the cluster type, to attempt to account …
