Late-Eighteenth-Century English Literature on MLA Commons 11 years agoIf you’re concerned about the place of eighteenth-century studies in the new forum structure being implemented by the MLA, you might consider applying to the following proposed special session for the 2016 convention in Austin:

Prose Fiction on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoOh yes, the whole issue of postmodern novels as exercises in literary criticism is very interesting…
Haven’t read Gorra’s “Portrait”, though I love James. Thank you!

Prose Fiction on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHas anyone mentioned Michael Gorra’s “Portrait of a Novel” (about Portrait of a Lady)? Many of David Lodge’s academic novels introduce (and explain) literary history and theory, actually using theory as a plot element– “Small World” and “Nice Work,” for example.

Prose Fiction on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Alexandra (and of course you can use my first name 🙂
I’ve read the Latin American authors in Spanish a while ago but judging by the quality of the publishing houses they should be good translations. I found a couple of Bolaño’s essays in The New York Review of Books if you are…[Read more]

Prose Fiction on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Carlos (may I?), thank you!
I’d be delighted about a contribution from you. To my shame, I haven’t read any of your suggestions — and now I will, asap.
Starting the journal was worth it for all recommendations in these forum alone.:)

Prose Fiction on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi Alexandra,
Your project sounds really cool, I hope I can send a contribution in the future.
As for suggestions, I thought of Orhan Pamuk’s The Naive and Sentimental Novelist and to include the Latin American tradition in the conversation: Roberto Bolaño’s Between Parentheses: Essays, Articles, and Speeches, 1998-2003, García Marquez’s Li…[Read more]

I’ve actually met Glyn Maxwell and we had a great talk on poetry (and yes, I’m very much into it; the topic of my own first book, Brodsky Translating Brodsky, was poetry in self-translation).
Do have a look at readingsjournal.net, it might suit you. (I’m starting this journal more or less on my own, in my spare time, and am…[Read more]
