Described by the late poet and essayist Joseph Brodsky as ""the best British author writing today"", Tim Parks is as prolific a journalist, critic and translator as he is a novelist. In this book, Gillian Fenwick explores Parks' body of work and maintains that Parks is the epitome of the modern man of letters. The novels that Parks set in his English homeland - such as ""Loving Roger"", ""Home Thoughts"", and ""Family Planning"" - are complex texts treading between tragedy and comedy. Fenwick asserts that Parks' heroes and heroines are real people who make readers empathize with them and their indecision. Parks' writing crosses genres as well as international boundaries. Fenwick argues that Parks' Italian sojourn brought a richness to his work. Wanting no part of saccharine treatments of la dolce vita, Parks has in ""Italian Neighbours"" and ""An Italian Education"" described ordinary, at times frustrating, life in Italy with a touch of cynicism. Parks establishes himself as an ""Englishman in Verona"" - he sees his home country with an increased objectivity but is not quite fully assimilated into his new country. At the same time, his time in Italy has allowed him a much broader, European perspective: his novels ""Shear"" and ""Europa"", which are set on the Continent and feature characters of several European nationalities, capture his enlarged European scope. From Parks's novels and nonfiction books to his translations and journalism, Fenwick reckons with Parks's full literary range and sheds light on the work of a versatile English writer whose international recognition is steadily growing.
This book offers an introduction to the works of a Cajun writer who finds optimism in his blue-collar tales. Margaret Donovan Bauer presents the first book-length study of the Louisiana storyteller, who injects a seldom heard Cajun voice into Southern literature and offers a rare optimistic vision among other contemporary writers of the hardscrabble American South. Bauer surveys Tim Gautreaux's three novels - ""The Next Step in the Dance"", ""The Clearing, and ""The Missing"" - and two collections of short fiction - ""Same Place, Same Things"" and ""Welding with Children"" - to identify his major themes, character types, and structures. She views his chief contribution to Southern letters to be an authentic insider's view of Cajun culture, one resulting in a skillful, realistic, and sympathetic vision of historical and contemporary Acadiana in flux. Bauer addresses how Gautreaux's hopeful vision distinguishes him from other contemporary writers of the blue-collar South. She views Gautreaux's poor white protagonists as action-oriented characters who, while trapped by circumstances, still strive to affect positive change in their lives.
