The String Compositions of Louise Lincoln Kerr
This research examines the string literature of American composer and violist Louise Lincoln Kerr.

Step Up
Louise sees herself as an ordinary girl with dormant dreams. She decides to capitalize on a huge event held in South Africa by running a guest house. Her grandfather's house proves to be big enough to cater for her plans, but unbeknownst to her he uses the opportunity to steer her into a different vocational path. Falling in love with one of her guests is not what she had in mind. On the other hand, Stephen's McKinley's passion was his work until he met Louise. Getting her to work for him brought his two passions together, but his concern was whether he could make the arrangement permanent without pushing her away from him.
Jewish Writing and the Deep Places of the Imagination
When he learned he had ALS and roughly two years to live, literary critic Mark Krupnick returned to the writers who had been his lifelong conversation partners and asked with renewed intensity: how do you live as a Jew, when, mostly, you live in your head? The evocative and sinuous essays collected here are the products of this inquiry. In his search for durable principles, Krupnick follows Lionel Trilling, Cynthia Ozick, Geoffrey Hartman, Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, and others into the elemental matters of life and death, sex and gender, power and vulnerability. The editors—Krupnick’s wife, Jean K. Carney, and literary critic Mark Shechner—have also included earlier essays and introductions that link Krupnick’s work with the “deep places” of his own imagination.
