A lyrical interrogation of the American Dream in Paterson, New Jersey Born and raised in New Jersey, Hong Kong-based American photographer Todd R. Darling (born 1967) photographed Paterson because it was a prototype for industrial cities. Inspired by local poets William Carlos Williams and Allen Ginsberg, Darling wandered the city crafting an allegory of America through the city of Paterson and her people. Paterson is the second most densely populated city in America after New York. 150,000 people comprising around 50 ethnic groups are packed into eight square miles. There are about 25 million people in America, living in small cities like Paterson. Founded in 1792 by Alexander Hamilton as a corporation, Paterson was ruled by corrupt industrialists who paid no taxes and crippled the city's development. The consequences of its corrupted origins ripple through it today. In black and white, American Idylldepicts a broken city that mirrors American society.
When Dr. George Pritchard asked Phoebe to marry him, she hadn't needed much persuading. The recent death of her aunt had left her penniless and without a job. Besides, she did like him. So what if he'd made it plain that he wasn't in love with her—at least she knew where she stood. It wasn't until after the wedding that she began to wonder if liking was going to be enough….
Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits and autofiction as well as media transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition, special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers.
"Covering the United States and Canada [with their possessions and neighbors] and containing the biographical and literary data of living authors whose birth or activities connect them with the continent of North America, with a press section devoted to journalists and magazine writers" (varies slightly).
