Book excerpt: Ever dream of having your own boat and living aboard? Just cutting your ties to the humdrum existence, the "same old, same old" that land dwelling represents? The Liveaboards is a contemporary fiction romance about people who are adventuresome or persistent or desperate enough to be genuine liveaboards, people who float endlessly with no home on land. But even liveaboards must have a place to access water and power and fuel. And that place is a marina. At Sunset Marina on Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama, the boating neighborhood is intimate and yet ever changing. Sunset Marina offers sanctuary to an eclectic mix of people who live there for myriad reasons in all sorts of crafts. Locally grown Southerners tolerate living inches from "damn Yankees" (those who won't go home) all for the love of boats. Although they are not completely isolated from the problems of the greater society, such as crystal methamphetamine, they can escape them for days into isolated coves. And love? Well, love is the same on land or on water. Or maybe not. Some liveaboards think they can create their very own "Love Boat." Who knows?

Download or read book Norman N Holland written by Jeffrey Berman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Holland was unquestionably the leading 20th-century American psychoanalytic literary critic. Long known as the Dean of American psychoanalytic literary critics, Holland produced an enormous body of scholarship that appeals to both neophytes in the field and advanced researchers, many of whom have been influenced by his writings. Holland was one of the first proponents of reader-response criticism, the theorist of readers' identity themes, and the author of fifteen books that have become classics in the field. Jeffrey Berman analyzes all of Holland's books, and many of his 250 scholarly articles, highlighting continuities and discontinuities in the critic's thinking over time. A controversial if not polarizing figure, Holland is discussed in relation to his closest colleagues, including Murray Schwartz, Bernard Paris, and Leslie Fiedler, as well as his fiercest critics, among them Frederick Crews, David Bleich, and Jonathan Culler, creating a dynamic and personal portrait. Insofar as this text illuminates the evolving mind of a premier literary critic, it produces a parallel profile of the American reader, the primary object of Holland's extensive work.
