Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queer Chums: Being a Narrative of a Midshipman's Adventures and Escapes in Eighteen Hundred and War-Time I wish to say, that whilst there is much that may appear fanciful in this little romance, it is nevertheless founded chiefly on fact that has come under the writer's own observation. The 'Sussex Pad' still occupies its former position - a new house on an old spot - whilst both Old and New Shoreham still rear smart sailors for our fleet. No portion of either the mutiny on board the Antigone nor her audacious recapture is either imaginary or exaggerated. History has been faithfully followed in narrating this splendid enterprise, the only particular in which, for the purposes of my story, I have gone wrong being the killed on the British side during the engagement.

Download or read book Collected Stories written by Frank O'Connor and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive collection from an Irish literary icon, “one of the masters of the short story” (Newsweek). In the words of W. B. Yeats, Frank O’Connor “did for Ireland what Chekhov did for Russia.” Anne Tyler, writing in the Chicago Sun-Times, described his tales as “encapsulated universes.” This indispensable volume contains the best of his short fiction, from “Guests of the Nation” (adapted into an Obie Award–winning play) to “The Mad Lomasneys” to “First Confession” to “My Oedipus Complex.” Dublin schoolteacher Ned Keating waves good-bye to a charming girl and to any thoughts of returning to his village home in the lyrical and melancholy “Uprooted.” A boy on an important mission is waylaid by a green-eyed temptress and seeks forgiveness in his mother’s loving arms in “The Man of the House,” a tale that draws on O’Connor’s own difficult childhood. A series of awkward encounters and humorous misunderstandings perfectly encapsulates the complicated legacy of Irish immigration in “Ghosts,” the bittersweet account of an American family’s pilgrimage to the land of their forefathers. In these and dozens of other stories, O’Connor accomplishes the miraculous, laying bare entire lives and histories in the space of a few pages. As a writer, critic, and teacher, O’Connor elevated the short story to astonishing new heights. This career-spanning anthology, epic in scope yet brimming with small moments and intimate details, is a true pleasure to read from first page to last.
Download or read book The Best of Frank O Connor written by Frank O'Connor and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most generous one-volume collection ever published of short stories, autobiographical writings,poetry, and essays by the writer Yeats called “Ireland’s Chekhov.” Selected and arranged thematically by Julian Barnes, the rich mix of writings in The Best of Frank O’Connor starts off with his most famous short story, “Guests of the Nation,” set during the Irish War of Independence; chronicles his childhood with an alcoholic father and protective mother; and traces his literary influences in brilliant essays on Joyce and Yeats. O’Connor’s wonderfully polyphonic tales of family, friendship, and rivalry are set beside those that bring to life forgotten souls on the fringes of society. O’Connor’s writings about Ireland vividly evoke the land he called home, while other stories probe the hardships and rewards of Irish emigration. Finally, we see O’Connor grappling, in both fiction and memoir, with the largest questions of religion and belief. The Best of Frank O’Connor is a literary monument to a truly great writer.

Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to Queer Theory written by Noreen Giffney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume of thirty original essays engages with four key concerns of queer theoretical work - identity, discourse, normativity and relationality. The terms ’queer’ and ’theory’ are put under interrogation by a combination of distinguished and emerging scholars from a wide range of international locations, in an effort to map the relations and disjunctions between them. These contributors are especially attendant to the many theoretical discourses intersecting with queer theory, including feminist theory, LGBT studies, postcolonial theory, psychoanalysis, disability studies, Marxism, poststructuralism, critical race studies and posthumanism, to name a few. This Companion provides an up to the minute snapshot of queer scholarship from the past two decades and identifies many current directions queer theorizing is taking, while also signposting several fruitful avenues for future research. This book is both an invaluable and authoritative resource for scholars and an indispensable teaching tool for use in the classroom.
