5/13/2023 0 Comments A Fan's Notes by Frederick Exley![]() ![]() ![]() I read it when I was probably 23, 24 years old and at this very low Exley-like moment in my life, where I had no job and I was over-educated and had no prospects. CLARKE: It was an incredibly big influence on me. ROBERTS: Frederick Exley's fictional memoir, "A Fan's Notes," it's an actual real book, is almost a character in your book "Exley." Was it a big influence on you? Professor BROCK CLARKE (Author, "Exley"): Thanks, Rebecca. ![]() I am, however, fairly certain that the book "Exley" was written by Brock Clarke, and that Brock Clarke joins us now from Maine Public Broadcasting in Portland. Also involved are Miller's psychiatrist, who may or may not be telling the truth himself, Miller's dad, who may or may not be dying from wounds he sustained fighting in Iraq, and Miller's mom, who may or may not believe Miller, or Miller's dad, or the psychiatrist. Brock Clarke's new novel, "Exley," is a fictional work about a kid named Miller, who may or may not be telling the truth about a real book by a real person named Exley, who may or may not have been telling the truth about his own biography. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fox's new book is the perfect gift for graduates. Replete with personal stories and hilarious anecdotes, Michael J. He learned Economics as a starving artist an unexpected turn as a neophyte activist schooled him in Political Science and his approach to Comparative Literature involved stacking books up against their movie versions. ![]() Fox offers up a comically skewed take on how, in his own way, he fulfilled the requirements of a college syllabus. In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future, Michael draws on his own life experiences to make a case that real learning happens when "life goes skidding sideways." He writes of coming to Los Angeles from Canada at age eighteen and attempting to make his way as an actor.

"I don't want the readers of a horror book to feel comfortable at all." "Everyone's read the exact same books, seen the same movies and TV shows, so everything's starting to feel a little comfortably same to me," the artist says. When it comes to horror, Burnham feels that the creators as well as the audience all have similar reference points, so with Nameless he wants to dig a little deeper and weirder instead of mashing up two things folks already like. And while Nameless could return for more stories, "really this one is about the big test of the human experience against a nightmare." "I wanted to take it beyond that Frank Miller hard-boiled thing into a quite weird stream-of-consciousness, Lovecraftian kind of thing," Morrison says. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Les Faux-monnayeurs by André Gide![]() ![]() His new freedom did not derive from the surgical removal of a swollen superego but from gaining a measure of control over it and, above all, displacing the powerful sense of responsibility onto a different set of moral imperatives. Gide's break with Calvinism was spectacular and consequential, the obvious turning point of his life, and yet, in a sense, it was incomplete. : : available at Amazon US, Amazon Canada, and Amazon EUĪndré Gide, reared by strict Protestant women, entered adult life in a state of restless religious captivity, married his cousin, contracted tuberculosis, traveled to Algeria for his health, encountered Oscar Wilde, gave free rein to his repressed homosexuality and, instead of then discreetly perishing like Mann's Gustave von Aschenbach, returned to France, made a public avowal of his sexuality and of his new credo, wrote a notorious book about both, opened himself to sensuality, to life's possibilities, became the apostle of radical individualism, conceived the acte gratuit, embraced public responsibility, rejected narcissism, kept an enormous journal, and, in the fullness of time, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
