Gillis, Bill R. Rev. of A Reader's Guide to the Short Stories of William Faulkner. By Diane Brown Jones (New York: G. K. Hall & Co., 1994). Studies in Short Fiction 33.3(Summer 1996): 443(3pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A20877879.
"Review Grade: A....Jones' compilation of critical commentary and information on the selected short stories will be a valuable tool for any student doing research on Faulkner's short fiction.... Jones is able to emphasize some of the major motifs and themes in Faulkner's fiction that define him as both a regional writer and one with a universal message."

Meyer, William E. H. "Faulkner, Hemingway, et al: The Emersonian Test of Authorship." The Mississippi Quarterly 51.3(Summer 1998): 557(10pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A54273196.
Abstract: "William Faulkner is a great Southern writer but he could never transcend Southernness to become a great American writer. The American aesthetic is based on hypervisualty, exemplified by the work of Ernest Hemingway, whereas Faulkner's Southern lyricism emphasizes hyperverbality. The emphasis on imagery in American writing should be recognized, as suggested by the test of American authorship proposed by Ralph Waldo Emerson."

Shiffman, Smadar. "Romantic, Radical, and Ridiculous: Faulkner's Hero as Oxymoron." Style 29.1(Spring 1995): 18(18pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A17777394.
"...Our understanding of character is based upon our knowledge of people in the 'world,'" and in Faulkner's case, this produces "oxymoronic" protagonists "constructed around a core characteristic that must be simultaneaously conceived as both their great asset and major liability"--true too of the protagonist of "A Rose for Emily."

Hart, Jeffrey. Rev. of Fame Became Him: Hemingway as Public Writer. By John Raeburn.
National Review 14 Dec. 1984: 48(2pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A3560436.
"Review Grade: A....By 1929, [Hemingway] was a hero of art, a selfless craftsman who had written some of the most concentrated prose in the English language. By the end of the Thirties, he had written little that matched his work of the Twenties. John Raeburn offers a theory why, and his study is immensely valuable for an understanding of this major American writer."

Jobst, Jack W., and W. J. Williamson. "Hemingway and Maupassant: More Light on 'The Light of the World.'" Hemingway Review 13.2 (Spring 1994): 52 (10pp.) EbscoHost Academic Search Elite, Article No. 9407182851. [Full text available.]
Abstract: "Compares the short story `La Maison Tellier,' by Guy Maupassant and the short story `The Light of the World,' by Ernest Hemingway. Parallels in the lives of Hemingway and Maupassant; Hemingway's study of Maupassant's short stories; Strong affinities of characterization, technique and theme in the two stories; Maupassant's ironic references to religion and Hemingway's religious symbolism.

McDonnell, Thomas P. "Hemingway Reconsidered." National Review 31 May 1997: 46(3pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A3790242.
"Hemingway survives as one of the great short-story writers in the language.
He excelled in short fiction because he was largely a creator and manipulator of small and limited scenes, of sometimes tender or bitter moods and in countless untoward situations....Hemingway tended always to a condition of simplicity...
in such shorter masterpieces as...the heartbreakingly ironic 'Hills like White Elephant.'"

Meyer, William E. H. "Faulkner, Hemingway, et al.: The Emersonian Test of Authorship." The Mississippi Quarterly 51.3(Summer 1998): 557(10pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A54273196.
Abstract: "William Faulkner is a great Southern writer but he could never transcend Southernness to become a great American writer. The American aesthetic is based on hypervisualty, exemplified by the work of Ernest Hemingway, whereas Faulkner's Southern lyricism emphasizes hyperverbality. The emphasis on imagery in American writing should be recognized, as suggested by the test of American authorship proposed by Ralph Waldo Emerson."

Tall, Deborah. "The Where of Writing: Hemingway's Sense of Place."
The Southern Review 35.2(Spring 1999): 338(5pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A3790242.
Abstract: "Reading about Ernest Hemingway's 'Sense of Place' reveals much about the conflict between commitment and escape, between public and private life, between social and artistic life, and between wandering and settling. Hemingway illustrated positive aspects of mobility and the romance of travel. For Hemingway, desolation and longing symbolized distress, loss of identity, and uneasiness."

Miller, Paul W. "Hemingway vs. Stendhal, or Papa's Last Fight with a Dead Writer." Hemingway Review 19.1 (Fall 1999): 126 (15pp). EbscoHost Academic Search Elite Article No. 2632739. Full Text available.
Abstract: "Examines the transformation of the literary values and goals of Ernest Hemingway between 1930 and 1940. Comparison between the works of Hemingway and Guy de Maupassant; Influence of Stendhal on the works of Hemingway; Evidence that `For Whom the Bell Tolls' and `Across the River and Into the Trees,' were written to compete with Stendhal's writings."

The Shirley Jackson Page (Roger Blackwell Bailey, San Antonio College LitWeb)
http://www.accd.edu/sac/english/bailey/jacksons.htm

Shirley Jackson (Felice Aull, Ph.D., New York Univ.):
http://mchip00.med.nyu.edu/lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webauthors/jackson273-au-.html
...The Lottery (annotated by Jan Marta):
http://mchip00.med.nyu.edu/lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webdescrips/jackson315-des-.html

Cervo, Nathan. "Jackson's 'The Lottery.'" Explicator 50.3 (Spring 1992): 183 (3pp.) Rpt. EbscoHost Academic Search Elite, Article No. 9208101808. [Full text available.]
Abstract: "Addresses the significance of the name `Delacroix' in Shirley Jackson's `The Lottery'. Specifically Christian parallel and intent of `Delacroix'; Symbolism of date June 27; Motif of the Trinity; Anti-Romantic premises of the story; Reference to the Day of Atonement lottery; Premise of the scapegoat and the sacrificial goat; Character a metonymic extrapolation of her society."

Coulthard, A. R. "Jackson's 'The Lottery.'" Explicator 48.3 (Spring 1990): 226 (3pp.). Rpt. EbscoHost Academic Search Elite, Article No. 9603290115. [Full text available.]
Abstract: "Interprets the messages conveyed in Shirley Jackson's short story `The Lottery'. Blind obedience to the tradition as the central theme of the story; Controversy generated by the publication of `The Lottery' in June 1948."
From the article: "Little has been written about "The Lottery," possibly the most widely known American short story. Perhaps that is because the story seems such a transparent attack on blind obedience to tradition that little or no exegesis is necessary, a reading usually encouraged by discussion questions accompanying this much-anthologized story. But "The Lottery" is not an assault on mindless, cultural conformity. It is a grim, even nihilistic, parable of the evil inherent in human nature."

Griffin, Amy A. "Jackson's 'The Lottery.'" Explicator 58.1 (Fall 1999): 44 (3pp.) Rpt. EbscoHost Academic Search Elite, Article No. 2592380. [Full text available.]
Abstract: "Presents an interpretation of the short story `The Lottery,' by Shirley Jackson. Life-death cycle archetypes weaved into the story; Representation of lottery; What the story illustrates regarding societal behavior."
From the article: "By transferring one's sins to persons or animals and then sacrificing them, people believed that their sins would be eliminated, a process that has been termed the "scapegoat" archetype (Guerin et al. 158). In her short story "The Lottery," Shirley Jackson uses this archetype to build on man's inherent need for such ritual. . . . Although civilized people may no longer hold lotteries, Jackson's story illustrates that society's tendency toward violence and its tendency to hold onto tradition, even meaningless, base tradition, reveal our need for both ritual and belonging."

Yarmove, Jay A. "Jackson's 'The Lottery.'" Explicator 52.4 (Summer 1994): 242 (4pp). Rpt. EbscoHost Academic Search Elite, Article No. 9410177542. [Full text available.]
Abstract: "Argues that Shirley Jackson's story `The Lottery,' is an example of a story in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The meaning conveyed by the date of the lottery and the symbolic names of its characters; Features which make the story's impact more immediate; Midsummer's Day in European societies; Other aspects of the story."
From the article: "The underpinnings of Shirley Jackson's famous post-World War II story "The Lottery" demonstrate that the work is far greater than the sum of its parts. The date of the lottery, its location, and the symbolic or ironic names of its characters all work to convey a meaning that is even more disturbing than the shock created by its well-known ending, namely, that despite assurances during the late 1940s that 'it couldn't happen here,' a microcosmal holocaust occurs in this story and, by extension, may happen anyplace in contemporary America. Coming after the revelation of the depths of depravity to which the Nazis sank in their eagerness to destroy other, "lesser" peoples, 'The Lottery' upsets the reader's sense of complacency."

Storoff, Gary. "The Artist as Universal Mind: Berkeley's Influence on Charles Johnson." African American Review 30.4 (Winter 1996): 539 (10pp). Rpt. EbscoHost Academic Search Elite, Article No. 9702114320. [Full text available.]
Abstract: "Focuses on the influence of Bishop George Berkeley's philosophy on the thematics of writer Charles Johnson. Effect of Berkeley's act of perception on Johnson's artistic imagination; Introduction of Berkeleyan correlative in caricature."
From the article: "Charles Johnson's volume of short stories The Sorcerer's Apprentice [which includes "Menagerie: A Child's Fable"] opposes the artist's imaginative world to a naive realism that reduces all objects to their sheer materialistic value. In general terms, the "negative" characters of Johnson's stories are all materialists, and their world view postulates a mind-independent universe of physical objects obeying laws of force, energy, and economics. Against these "realist" characters, Johnson deploys metaphorical artists whose job it is symbolically to restructure the world into spiritual patterns, restoring a cohesive sense of connectedness. The controlling motif of the volume is a competition of alternative metaphysics, pitting the artist who creates reality against the skeptical materialist who would segment and divide it."

Abstract: "Interviews Charles Johnson, a novelist, short story writer, essayist, screenwriter and cartoonist. Pressure in his work; Benefits from being a Buddhist; Description on his works."
From the article: "[Charles] Johnson is currently the Pollack Professor in the Department of English at the University of Washington and is a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship." "The tale. I like the tale as a literary form because I heard them as a kid. There, for me, is when I began to get a handle on, at least for myself, of what my individual aesthetic/philosophical vision was, a blend of East and West, phenomenology and Buddhism."

Studies in Short Fiction [Special Dubliners Issue] 32.3 (Summer 1995): 475(7pp).
Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A19517943.
Abstract: "The large body of criticism concerning James Joyce's 'The Dead'
may have influenced readers' memories of actual events in the story and obscured the possibility
that James intended the tale as a marital comedy. The characters Gabriel and Gretta behave
as many long-married and slightly bored couples would in their situation.
In the final scenes, Gretta falls asleep merely because she is sleepy
and Gabriel does not experience an epiphany but rather behaves as the ineffectual man he truly is."

The Nonnarrated and the Disnarrated in Joyce's The Dubliners.".
Style 27.3 (Fall 1993): 407(3pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A15473883.
Mosher examines Joyce's techniques of conveying implications through
the "nonnarrated" and the "disnarrated" [Gerald Prince's terms] in The Dubliners.
The "nonnarrated" encompasses "omitting the narration of acts that must have happened,"
as well as related techniques like "not naming or delaying the names of characters or objects,
eliding words in dialogue,...not identifying antecedents for pronouns,
...suppressing the thoughts of characters whose thoughts are otherwise revealed..."
The "disnarrated" encompasses acts or events that do not happen, but "could/should have";
words and thoughts that are not expressed, but "could/should have been";
"states that could/should have existed but do not...."

Kaufman, Joanne. "Jamaica Kincaid: An Author's Unsparing Judgments
Earn Her an Unwanted Reputation for Anger." People Weekly 15 Dec. 1997: 109(4pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A20062866.
Abstract: "Kincaid denies that she is angry as many conclude from her forthright personality and outspoken writing. She has drawn heavily from her life experiences to write her books, which include Annie John, a book about mother-daughter relationships,
and My Brother, about the sibling she lost to AIDS."

Simmons, Diane. "The Rhythms of Reality in the Works of Jamaica Kincaid." World Literature Today 68.3 (Summer 1994): 466(7pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A16314532.
Abstract: "Jamaica Kincaid's novels focus on themes of loss and betrayal, particularly a mother's betrayal of her daughter. This sense of betrayal is underlined by treachery that reflects a constantly changing reality that displaces paradise of some sort. That paradise is hazy, partly memory and partly a dream, and represents a state of wholeness that is unchangeable and undivisible."

Abstract: "Kincaid believes that writing is a process that is always full of pain and that it is neither public nor private. She eschews happy endings in her writing because she is interested in the truth and not in the pursuit of happiness. She talks about colonialism, racism, and other topics."

Applebaum, David. "Point of Return: An Interview with Ursula K. Le Guin." Parabola 23.1(Spring 1998): 19(9pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A20337853.
Abstract: "Science fiction and fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin sees the millenium as a point that marks the end and the beginning of existence. She prefers to regard years as cyclical patterns, and notes that many people before the prevalence of advanced technology functioned contentedly without a sense of history. One of the most important tasks of art is to create a time outside the constraints of clocks and calendars."

Jameson, Sara. "Ursula K. Le Guin: A Galaxy of Books and Laurels." [Interview with Le Guin.] Publishers Weekly 25 Sept. 1995: 32(2pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A17474401.
Abstract: "Science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin's latest book is a collection of four novellas, Four Ways to Forgiveness. The 65-year-old author discusses how her new book came together, and the themes of slavery and women winning personal freedom."
[From the article:] "'Misusing the world, misusing other people, these are permanent problems,' says Le Guin. 'Slavery is not a current problem in the United States, but the results of slavery and the mind-set that slavery left us with are. Somehow that was the metaphor that I needed.'"

White, Jonathan. "Coming Back from Silence." [Interview with Le Guin.]
Whole Earth Review 85 (Spring 1995): 76 (8pp). Infotrac Expanded Academic ASAP, Article A16816242.
Abstract: "Ursula Le Guin believes that the interest in Native American myth stems from an important need many people feel to become more connected with each other. She believes her work depicts a community that is missing from many lives."
