Of America East & West
No historian writes with such command of language or feeling for human nature. The difference is his luminous imagination, as Henry Steele Commager observes in the introduction to the newest Horgan volume, Of America East & West, a sumptuous selection from fifteen of the earlier works, many of which have been long out of print. I began reading Paul Horgan more than twenty years ago and he has given me no end of pleasure ever since. Whether in fiction, history or biography, he is a writer of large vision and manysidedness. He can be serene, funny, elegant, earthy and lyrical. He can range across art, opera, politics, natural history, military history and intellectual history. Narrative energy suffuses everything he writes. But it is his gift of empathy that lifts his work to the level of art and gives the history he writes 'reality.'
Trickster Tales of Southeastern Native Americans
An agent of chaos and deceit, the trickster has been a favorite character spanning thousands of years and multiple peoples. From legends belonging to Native Americans such as the Creek, Natchez, Seminole and Catawba, to tales borrowed from Africa and Europe, this work discusses 73 trickster tales. Beginning with Creek tales, this book continues with a blend of Native American and African American folktales, organized according to the indigenous people who told them. These stories include the American Southeast's most notorious trickster, Rabbit; his gullible victims such as Alligator, Wildcat and Wolf; and other tricksters such as Buzzard, Pig, Possum and more.

J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye
A fascinating examination of J.D. Salinger and his landmark novel, The Catcher in the Rye Since its publication in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye has been a cultural phenomenon, not only as an assigned text for English courses, but as a touchstone for generations of alienated youth. But who was J.D. Salinger, and how did he come to write a novel whose impact continues to resonate with millions of readers? In J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History, Josef Benson examines the legacy of an elusive author and his work. After exploring how the novel reflected Salinger's tortured psyche, Benson discusses how the book made an impact on generations of readers--from 1960s counter-culture youth and followers of the Black Power movement of the 1970s to the disenfranchised teens of the Reagan era and the celebrity-fixated masses of the present day. In addition, Benson unravels the mystery behind Salinger's reclusiveness, the effects the novel had on the reading public who adored it, and why three American assassins cited the novel as an inspiration. J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye also considers why this work of fiction has been among the most widely taught--and most frequently banned--books of all time. By looking at the novel as both an artifact of the 1950s as well as a living testament to the turmoil of teenage angst, this book provides a riveting discussion of one of the most enigmatic novels and authors of all time.

Stumbling Blocks and Other Unfinished Work
Stumbling Blocks expands and contextualizes the unpublished works of the late African American writer Delores Phillips. Born in Cartersville, Georgia in 1950, Delores Faye Phillips spent much of her childhood in Georgia before moving to Cleveland, Ohio. Best known for her 2004 novel The Darkest Child, which follows the Quinn family as they attempt to survive and escape racism, lynchings, and poverty in Jim Crow Georgia during the 1950s, Phillips wrote much more than that. While the novel was met with critical acclaim, little is known about Phillips herself or about her other writings. Indeed, in the 2018 reissue of The Darkest Child, Tayari Jones remarks in the introduction that when she heard Phillips had passed away in 2014, she was "weighted down with longing for the other books that she would never write." This volume, then, corrects the misconception that The Darkest Child was Phillips's only published work. Rather, it establishes her as an experienced and prolific writer who created multi-genre literature throughout her life. It paints a broader picture of Phillips, who was not just a novelist but also a poet and short story writer as well. Just as Alice Walker's recovery work on Zora Neale Hurston in the 1970s was critical to a revival and appreciation of Hurston as "a genius of the South," Stumbling Blocks illuminates and expands the legacy of an underrepresented writer who is uniquely situated at the intersections of multiple identities including race, gender, disability, and region. In addition to the sequel to The Darkest Child, this collection also includes an unfinished third novel (No Ordinary Rain), ten poems, seven short stories, contextualizing essays, and an in-depth biography of Phillips. It is also bookended by a foreword from Phillips's sister, Linda Miller, and an afterword from renowned literary scholar Trudier Harris.
Lady Rose B&b
This play takes place in the present, in a small fishing village of British Columbia. Situated on Vancouver Island, this hamlet lies at the mouth of an ocean fjord, on the edge of a national park. It is a world in itself, where people can choose to live at their own rhythm, a place accessible only by boat or by float-plane.In the summertime, a handful of tourists stop there, for an hour or so. They sit down sipping cappuccinos or meander on a boardwalk along an inlet. As soon as they leave, the silence returns.There is no road and there are no cars. Trails are covered with oyster shells, glimmering in the moonlight. When the weather is foul, the wind howls between the cedar trees and the whistle buoy sighs, moved by the ocean swells. After the rain, the inlet glitters, full of milky lights. At night, the sky sparkles with stars.Two years ago, the vessel that brought freight to the village was replaced by a more modern ship. Now permanently docked in the inlet, the Lady Rose has been converted into a Bed and Breakfast for hikers and this is where the action of this play takes place.Love and desire, sensuality and seduction... Can we love and not desire ? Must we seduce to be loved ? Do we need to be loved first, before loving ? Do we love to be loved ? Tales always end with: they had many children and lived happily ever after... This story, however, starts when the age of having children has passed and the only thing left is how to live happily ever after. A. Korette
