Henry James ~ The Ambassadors: A study at 5 pages a day

Image
Recently, I finished a seminar on Henry James. The class read some very intense novels: such as. The Bostonians and The Wings of the Dove. I was disappointed that we didn't read The Ambassadors. So I asked my professor why. She said it was a very challenging novel that needs to be read at a pace of 5 pages a day. So that sounded like a fun challenge for the summer. So after I walk across the stage I will be picking up Henry James' The Ambassadors and venturing into a 5 page a day experiment. I will be reading the Norton Critical Edition 335 pages which = 65 days.

August Wilson's Jitney

I recently  picked  up Ulysses and felt like I probably should read  A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before fully jumping into Ulysses. My experience with Joyce before this novel was his short story “The Dead” from his collection The Dubliners. I remember absolutely enjoying “The Dead,” but like most readers, who approach Ulysses for the first time,I felt a little overwhelmed. I am a big fan of stream-of-conscious narration. Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner are two of my favorite Modernist writers. Further, as a fan of serious literature, I need to conquer Joyce at somepoint (and prepare for my intense Faulkner course next semester).  So now, onto this fine piece of literary experimentation. Joyce’s   A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man  poses basic questions about the human condition. A coming-of-age story in its truest sense, Stephen Dedalus finds himself asking and pondering some life’s most trivial questions. These questions, ho...
