Els Tristos Tròpics De Joan Bordoy, Emigrant A Amèrica I Terrorista Accidental, Antoni Pizà

Publications and Research

El 7 de novembre del 1933, Joan Bordoy va intentar cometre el que seria el darrer acte d’heroïcitat en la seva peripatètica vida. Aprofitant l’entusiasme d’una insurrecció popular a l’Havana, va unir-se a un grup de revolucionaris del grup ABC, considerats per alguns com a terroristes, per assaltar i ocupar la Jefatura de Policía de l’Havana. Si bé, l’atac en principi va tenir èxit, en qüestió d’una hora els militars van recuperar la caserna.

Peacekeepers: A Humboldt Love Story, Jeff Conner

Fiction and Poetry

He’s a small town police officer, committed to law and order.

She’s an activist, outlaw, and free spirit.

They live in close proximity, but their lives are worlds apart.

But together they undertake a journey of the heart, one that will take them to places unanticipated.

Quiebres En California, Lilianet Brintrup Hertling

Fiction and Poetry

"To write in order to understand” is the motto that propelled the writing of this volume. The four parts of the book portray nature, cities and their inhabitants, in a constant journey between Northern California and Southern Chile. This poetic discourse collects fragments of a life dedicated to travel and to the observation of the natural and cultural environment from the point of view of a traveler who is “just passing by” the Californian territory.

Escribir para entender, fue el moto que impulsó la escritura de este volumen. Las cuatro partes del libro tematizan la naturaleza, las ciudades y sus …

Imagining An Asian American Superhero Of North Korean Origin: A Design Fiction, Seo-Young J. Chu

Publications and Research

My talk, a thought-experimental blend of literary criticism and speculative "design fiction," will introduce you to an Asian American superhero of North Korean origin. In this science-fictional superhero, whom I have tentatively named "구름"/"☁️"/"Ku-reum," Korea's elusive realities coalesce into legible form. More specifically, they become available for narrative experience and relatable to us as an anthropomorphic character, a person with whom we might identify, come face-to-face, sympathize, interact dynamically, and have a conversation. Ku-reum is designed to reflect Korea's complex past and hopes for the future. Existing beyond division systems, Ku-reum uses the non-binary pronouns "one"/"they." Neither "South" nor "North," …

Up Close And Personal: Hosting Diverse Authors, Sue C. Kimmel, Danielle E. Hartsfield (Ed.)

Mary Of The Yellow Sea, Nicole Rose Gomez

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Maria del Mar is the third of five children born to a poor seventh-generation Hispanic-Indigenous family in rural southern Colorado. Maria’s grandmother is a highly regarded midwife, and she herself is born with the healing gift. When she is twelve years old a gypsy reads her palm and predicts that she will soon receive a letter from the man that she will marry. Soon after the prophecy is made, Maria’s beloved father, Don Antonio suffers a heart attack and is left unable to work the family ranch, part of a land grant by the Spanish crown to their ancestors. Responsibility …

Creative Fiction Piece, Grace Maier

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

My proposal for my senior honors project is to produce a completed work of fiction. Specifically, this will be a short story consisting of around twenty double spaced pages, minimum six thousand words, of original writing accompanied by an eight to ten page critical essay exploring my literary influences as well as a five to seven page self analysis of my individual writing process. It is my intention to produce a work within the gothic-thriller genre, deriving inspiration from authors such as Joyce Carol Oates and Flannery O’Connor.
