[…]prose invites careful examination, a gradual, rigorous state of attention designed to produce critical intelligence rather than a commercial transaction. Even if many of the characters are psychologically trapped in one way or another, the multiple space of their juxtaposed and intersecting thoughts and feelings indicates that a crucial aesthetic transformation has taken place, a demonstration of what fiction at its subversive best can offer, a rehumanized model of time. A media capitalist like Milo Magnani may be delighted that so many people can be herded into controlled environments like the mall and the theater, where their behavior can be […]
[…]please look hard at these two short passages in Pagolak. Each points to narakaviri, to this critical moment in namele. The first enacts the way up to it (pakanu), and the second the way down from it (plot). You can enter these passages. What I propose is not reasonable, not unreasonable. Enter these two passages. You have no need for more knowledge. Your awareness is equal to the task. This is a task: like all tasks correctly performed, it leads to revelation. Move (as I did) through the first passage to the last, become the bodily metamorphosis that this movement […]
[…]as confidence men – des arnaqueurs); at the end of the book he is convinced that his wife is working with them and against him. In frequenting these criminals, he has gradually picked up their jargon, and in his last letter to his wife he denounces her in terms drawn entirely from that jargon: This chump never blowed you were turned out to hopscotch. You let him find the leather, and he copped you for the pure quill, when you’re nothing but a crow. It took a long time to bobble him but now you’ve knocked him good and he […]
[…]Corrections Corporation,” “HLM Justice,” “Tindell Concrete Products,” “The Dick Group of Companies.” David Matlin’s book brings before us startling evidence from Prison Inc., like this pitch, a promotion by the “American Correctional Association,” which gleefully reports to potential investors that: The prison industry continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. With the number of inmates incarcerated in our nation’s prison’s jails and detention rates approaching 1.5 million the need for…new products and services continues to be an industry priority…and unlimited opportunity for your company to profit from this multi-billion dollar industry (61) So is this sick industry just another example […]
[…]of novelists but also those critical writers who keep the discussion of novels going. We present critical writing not as an afterthought, but as an integral element in the creation of literary fictions. In gathering critical writing by imaginative authors, our aim is not to review books instantly. Reviews in print media often arrive much faster than the more considered treatment one finds in ebr. An appearance in print generally does not mean that current writing is going to remain available, or up for discussion, for long. So rather than attempt to pace our own writing with the narrow shelf-life […]
[…]bone covered with leather, soon swept away by time. For 30,000 years or so men lived in small groups, wandering a known landscape bounded by focal points of natural landmarks – mountain peaks, lakes, rocks. They followed animal migration routes and salmon runs and ripening fruits and nuts. When the ice advanced, they retreated, and when the ice retreated they returned to fill the ecological niches for which, by their intelligence and adaptability, they were increasingly well suited. They adapted to circumstance without forcing the world to adapt to them. Of course, technology was already changing in the upper Paleolithic. […]
[…]claims that the sublime is “itself a system, one that morphs and adapts to each period’s critical caprice” (5). While I believe that stretches the definition of system, I am well-persuaded that the ecosublime is, as he argues, an efficient term for describing an alertness to holism often found in contemporary represented or mediated environments. Less so am I convinced, however, that the sublime or the ecosublime bodes much for non-fictional worlds, i.e., our own. Rozelle argues that “there is no effective difference between the natural sublime and the rhetorical ecosublime; both have the power to bring the viewer, reader, […]
[…]very quick and sure about something. It’s more deliberate. It’s more like you’ve been working in the light of day and then you see one day that it’s getting dark early, that it doesn’t matter where you are – it won’t do any good. It’s a reflective thing. Somebody holds the mirror up, unlocks the door – something jerks it open and you’re shoved in and your head has to go into a different place. Sometimes it takes a certain somebody to make you realize it [as seeing and hearing Mike Seeger did for Dylan, in this account]” (Dylan 2004: […]
[…]components of writing’s conditions: why write with any assumption that you are making some critical extension outwards from your own person, some glorious annex to your personality? Words are conditioned by and toward their own occasions. Why write thinking you will be rewarded for it, encouraged to continue, given money, sex, and fame? “If I Were Writing This. . .” has the immediate effect of showing that “The Invoice” was indeed a direct appeal for encouragement of an immediate sort. Both poems affirm that communication cannot easily effect what is desired (money and sex), though one chafes at the feeling […]
[…]internally elaborating, writerly persona that is distinctive of ebr – unafraid of sustained critical thought (aka ‘theory’), attentive to current events (aka ‘ideology critique’), professional in presentation but never for a moment forgetting that we’re writers here. Generally when I ask people to write for ebr…well, they write for ebr. I personally don’t know of any good reason to read a review or critical essay in any medium, if in the process I don’t learn something new about writing. I don’t mean just finding out about a work under review, or informing oneself about what’s current in media, academia, and […]
