Book Description
June Marie was a PK (preacher's kid) that loved and trusted God. As a young girl, she lived her life in fish bowl-like surroundings as most PK's do. Her early life was under the very strict control of her Victorian-minded father who was a dedicated and well loved minister. Adolescent mistakes, caused many of Junes early actions in life to be misinterpreted by some. June always refused to argue or defend herself in her own behalf, she trusted God to fight her battles and He always did. She grew to become a well loved and prolific wife, mother, grand mother and great grandmother and business woman with lots of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that all loved her. My life with June Marie was one that I lived in total amazement because we never once, had a serious argument, although we did disagree once, I forget why, while moving into a new home. We married late in life, I knew her for 42 years and we were married for 35 of those years. Her values were her ethics and she lived them daily.

Modern American Short Story Sequences
Author: J. Gerald Kennedy
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521430100
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Originally published in 1995, this book gathers together eleven full-length essays on important American short story sequences of the twentieth century. The introduction by J. Gerald Kennedy elucidates problems of defining the genre, cites notable instances of the form (such as Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio), and explores the implications of its modern emergence and popularity. Subsequent essays discuss illustrative works by such figures as Henry James, Jean Toomer, Ernest Hemingway, Richard Wright, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, J. D. Salinger, John Cheever, John Updike, Louise Erdrich, and Raymond Carver. While examining distinctive thematic concerns, each essay also considers implications of form and arrangement in the construction of composite fictions that often produce the illusion of a fictive community.

The Contemporary American Short-Story Cycle
Author: James Nagel
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807129616
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
James Nagel offers the first systematic history and definition of the short-story cycle as exemplified in contemporary American fiction, bringing attention to the format's wide appeal among various ethnic groups. He examines in detail eight recent manifestations of the genre, all praised by critics while uniformly misidentified as novels. Nagel proposes that the short-story cycle, with its concentric as opposed to linear plot development possibilities, lends itself particularly well to exploring themes of ethnic assimilation, which mirror some of the major issues facing American society today.
