Old Floating Cloud by Can Xue6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Their one hope is the coming of Wang Zi-guang, a spirit who possibly possesses the truth that will set free their wretched lives. In ``Yellow Mud Street,'' Can Xue follows the lives of the inhabitants of an otherworldly neighborhood where black ash ``pours down from the sky like garbage'' and excrement spills from dilapidated latrines people's bodies stink of sweat, they are in constant fear of government censure and they work at the ``S'' factory producing steel balls for no ostensible purpose. But these overlong anti-narratives will test the limits of readers' patience. Partly to avoid condemnation by the Chinese government and partly in reaction to the social realism of Mao Zedong's regime, Can Xue (Dialogues in Paradise ) has fashioned two stubbornly obscure novellas about contemporary China that veil political and social commentary in symbolic, psychotic grotesquerie. ![]()

I want them to grow up empowered and ready to do their part to dismantle injustice and oppression. You can see a lot of anti-racist books and social justice-themed books on my shelves because I work hard to teach my kids to be aware and critical of the society in which we live. I try to fill our shelves with inclusive books that particularly highlight the stories and voices of people who have historically been marginalized.

As per McGurl this periodic need to refresh college reading lists creates short-lived-but-major demands for publishers to bring out collections. Students can dissect stories and learn to replicate the writer’s effects. McGurl writes that Denis Johnson will always be remembered for his collection Jesus’ Son because college students are less resistant to stories. Thus collections by Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner are replaced by collections by Junot Diaz and Nami Mun. He proposes that such collections are the easiest way to teach literature and creative writing, but that academia must update its syllabi every generation or so. ![]() In his history and analysis of writing programs, The Program Era, author Mark McGurl touches on story collections. ![]() Spare Parts by Charles Henri Ford6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Robert Alcott turned his work down, and Janis Percent of them as just not being worthy of going out into the world. ![]() Over to my house, and, then, we looked through them, and I tore up about 80 That was one of his earliest commercial jobs.Īnd I had the delicious pleasure.
