I haven't read much Silko, so my answer might be totally unqualified. A professor of mine interviewed her while she was teaching at my University in Texas many years ago. The emphasis on 'story' to the best of my knowledge is rooted in the Native American tradition. So far as I have been...

thank you so much for your answer. can you think of any symbolic significance? i was thinking that perhaps it fits the main character to invest in something like lard... a luxury, not a necessity. maybe that is why the wheat reaps profit, it is something of substanence. thank you again. if...

I should be doing dishes before going to my boyfriend's brother's for a cookout... I should have done the laundry earlier. My laziness never fails to amaze me! :o

I found that once I got a little older and started reading more of Twain, particularly his short stories and poems, I realized what a poignant writer he is. Honeydevil, I suggest you try reading The Man who Corrupted Hadleyburg. It is an amazing story that might help redeem Twain. His poem A...

Infinity, I think I noticed you on another thread asking about a good romance novel. If I am correct perhaps you should give Anne Sexton a shot. She is very dramatic and feminine and absolutely lovely and revolting all at the same pleasing time! Her poetry is also easy to understand and not...

I've read parts of the bible and all of antigone... but i'm not familiar with the other book you mentioned. What exactly is your thesis sentence so far? that might help a bit. one similarity I can think of between the Bible and Antigone... Antigone is kind of a parable, like all those in...

it sounds like a very interesting book. do you know how it is written? is it written as a novel from characters' perspectives or is it more like a non-fiction theoretical account? a

I think Illuminatus! struck me in much the same way... being from a right-wing, clerical, military family. Shea and Wilson rocked my little world, never to be the same again. Much gratitude. Wilson also has a very nice website. rawilson.com anyway... here's a conspiracy for you. the...

I just finished reading Saul Bellow's Seize the Day. I loved the book but still have some questions. When this was written could you really invest money in things like lard and rye? I'm not sure about the implications of these items... and the profit found in wheat... maybe I'm just over...

This sounds horrid, but have you tried either of the books by Ethan Hawke? His characters are dark but not so poignant as say Solzhenitsyn. :rolleyes:

I have read, to the best of my knowledge, all of his other works. Long ago, when I was a freshman in high school, I wrote a research paper on him. I wanted to write the paper on him cause I knew my mother would have to take me to the downtown library to read all his short stories published in...

All of these suggestions seem great... however, perhaps what would be most satisfying to you is reading the rest of Salinger's work. Have you read Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roofbeams Carpenter, Seymour an Introduction, Nine Stories. Not to mention the great many short stories he...

have read the Illuminatus! just recently. found a love for Robert Anton Wilson while at University... sitting on the steps of the liberal arts building. go figure. my favorite of his is Cosmic Trigger. this book, i think, dispells and affirms many of the concepts and philosophies...
