When Redd does come back she pairs up with Arch as they declare war on wonderland.

Limón, however, takes that initial metaphorical heart-pumping moment and like Alice dives into a bucolic rabbit hole, landing in Kentucky. Naturally, as post time approaches, we place our bets on the thoroughbred to win. This ode to female empowerment raises the stakes. The collection opens with the poem “How to Triumph like a Girl”: “I like the lady horses best / how they make it all look so easy.” Then “I like that they are ladies /…as if this dangerous animal is also a part of me.” This recognition leads to the declaration: “don’t you want to lift my shirt and see / the huge beating genius machine / that thinks, no, it knows / it’s going to come in first.” Limon provides a well-worn, tear-stained, cigarette-burned road map of discovery and dead ends. It is a cross-country trip into the interior and exterior life – of a life examined. It is that eternal quest to find our place in the world. In the days leading up to the March 17 announcement of the 2015 NBCC award winners, Critical Mass highlights the thirty finalists.

The country is America the woman is Alexandra Bergson, a fiercely independent young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father’s farm in Nebraska. Now " everybody knows" that the " correct" number is forty-six. sapiens has forty-eight chromosomes, a " fact" that " everybody knew" in 1941. My Beyond This Horizon (1941) states that H. Wells' SF stories are hopelessly dated . . . and they remain the best, the most gripping science fiction stories to be found anywhere. Such updating can't save a poor story and isn't necessary for a good story. I do not intend ever again to try to update a story to make it fit new art. This week I have compared the two versions, 19, word by word- there isn't a dime's worth of difference between them . . . and I now see, as a result of the enormous increase in the art in 33 years, more errors in the '46 version than I spotted in the '40 version when I checked it in '46. In the meantime there had been World War II, Hiroshima, The Smyth Report-so I went over my 1940 manuscript most carefully, correcting some figures I had merely guessed at in early 1940. LIFE-LINE, MISFIT, LET THERE BE LIGHT, ELSEWHEN, PIED PIPER, IF THIS GOES ON-, REQUIEM, THE ROADS MUST ROLL, COVENTRY, BLOWUPS HAPPEN-for eleven months, mid March 1939 through mid February 1940, I wrote every day . . . and that ended my bondage BLOWUPS HAPPEN paid off the last of that pesky mortgage- eight years ahead of time.īLOWUPS HAPPEN was the first of my stories to be published in hard covers, in Groff Conklin's first anthology, The Best of Science Fiction, 1946.

But I’m afraid she’ll actually fucking tell me what she sees when she looks at me, and the last thing I want or need is a psych eval from a pretty girl in the middle of the night on a Friday. “No, I guess I’m not talkin’ about myself.”Ĭharlie is silent a few heartbeats before leaning back against the swing’s bench. “Are you even talking about yourself?” Charlie gives her head a shake. “I just know from experience-everything is one-sided and the other person loses out.” My statement is vague, slightly ominous, and only makes a bit of sense. “Who gets hurt? The other person? I thought guys didn’t care about feelings-are you telling me you’re sensitive?” “That sounds a tad dramatic.” I don’t see her eye roll, but I can hear it. Still, “Sex complicates everything, and I decided a long time ago I wasn’t lookin’ for any. “Why are you waiting?” Her question isn’t condescending or calculated, merely quiet and curious.Ī lilting little laugh fills the silence.

Forster does acknowledge Howards End to be his “best novel approaching a good novel,” but he immediately states “I do not care for it: not a single character in it for whom I care” (Forster CB 203-4) While time has been kinder to Howards End than Forster was to it himself, the novel is in many ways, very much tied to the time in which it was written. What does exist is generally self-deprecating and reproachful. Forster’s private musings, however, contain precious little commentary about his own work. If anything, it demonstrates the extent to which Forster was one of the most well read men of his generation, with citations ranging from the early Church Fathers to Proust, Eliot, Defoe, Fielding, Beaumont and Flecher, Lawrence, Tolstoy, and, briefly, Richard Wagner. For a writer whose work, “more completely than for most writers,” according to editor Philip Gardener, “is his monument,” the availability of Forster’s diary cum reading log allows insight into many of the forces that shaped the novelist’s work (Forster CB xii). Forster’s Commonplace Book in 1978 allowed researchers access, for the first time, into the mind of one of the 20th Century’s most important novelists. |
