English literature American literature anthology

This fresh new introduction to literature contains an international anthology of fiction, poetry, and drama plus a screenplay, essays, autobiographical writing and other varieties of nonfiction. Designed for writing-intensive courses with an expansive view of writing, this text guides students through the process of reading and rereading, introducing them to the critical vocabulary of literary analysis at the same time. Many connections can be made among the 300 classic and contemporary selections, as seen, for example, with the short story, "In the Grove," and the screenplay it inspired, "Rashomon". Complementing the Text is an intriguing photo essay, "Expatriates," as well as color self-portraits of Van Gogh that accompany his self-portraits in letters. In all, this anthology offers exciting possibilities for the study and creation of texts.

American novel political satire Nixon

A ferocious political satire in the great tradition, "Our Gang" is Philip Roth’s brilliantly indignant response to the phenomenon of Richard M. Nixon. In the character of Trick E. Dixon, Roth shows us a man who outdoes the severest cynic, a peace-loving Quaker and believer in the sanctity of human life who doesn’t have a problem with killing unarmed women and children in self-defense. A master politician with an honest sneer, he finds himself battling the Boy Scouts, declaring war on Pro-Pornography Denmark, all the time trusting in the basic indifference of the voting public.

American novel African American fiction

Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl, prays every day for beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair, and brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for normalcy, for the blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to finally fit in.Yet as her dream grows more fervent, her life slowly starts to disintegrate in the face of adversity and strife. A powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity, Toni Morrison’s virtuosic first novel asks powerful questions about race, class, and gender with the subtlety and grace that have always characterized her writing.
