Conversations with Flannery O'Connor
As this collection of interviews shows, Flannery O'Connor's fiction, though bound to a particular time and place, embodies and reveals universal ideas. O'Connor's curiosity about human nature and its various manifestations compelled her to explore mysterious places in the mind and heart. Despite her short life and prolonged illness, O'Connor was interviewed in a variety of times and locations. The circumstances of the interviews did not seem to matter much to O'Connor; her approach and demeanor remained consistent. Her self-knowledge was always apparent, in her confidence in herself, in her enterprise as a writer, and in her beliefs. She could penetrate the surfaces; she could see things in depth. Her perceptions were wide-ranging and insightful. Her interviews, given sparingly but with careful reflection and precision, make a unique contribution to an understanding of her fiction and to the evolving narrative of her short but influential life. Dr. Rosemary M. Magee is Vice President and Secretary of the University at Emory University.

Re-creating the American Past
Although individually and collectively Americans have many histories, the dominant view of our national past focuses on the colonial era. The reasons for this are many and complex, touching on stories of the country's origins and of the founding fathers, the privileged position in history granted the thirteen original colonies, and the ways in which the nation has adjusted to change and modernity. But no matter the cause, the result is obvious: images and forms derived from and related to America's colonial past are the single most popular form of cultural expression. Often conceived solely in architectural terms, from the red-brick and white-trimmed buildings that recall eighteenth-century ...
Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Giant Monster
When an evil artifact offers you the power to turn into a monster, agreeing would be stupid. Mirabelle isn't stupid. She also doesn't have much choice. Her friends all have super powers that let them go on exciting adventures. Mirabelle's super power is to be made of glass, and walking across a room is dangerous enough. But the shiny rock won't shut up, and to get rid of it, she has to use its powers against it. She does that carefully, because Mirabelle isn't stupid. Until Mirabelle falls in love, and love makes everyone stupid. Now supervillains and superheroes are fighting over four pieces of the Heart of Vermiel, and a girl who breaks if she runs has to collect them all, or be broken. She has to turn into a monster on the outside without turning into a monster on the inside. Somewhere in this mess there has to be an ending that lets her stay alive, stay a good person, and maybe get a chance to run, and be angry, and break things just once. Besides, how many girls can say their boyfriend is a dragon?
