I was lucky to have grown up in the 50ies era. I lived in a small town, not very far from where Im living now. I never did like traveling! Born at the end of the year, my dad called me his good luck baby. Id like some of that luck to strike me right about now. I have two sisters, one older, one younger, yes Im the middle child. I attended Catholic school Saint Michaels, until high school. It was at St. Mikes that I became fond of poetry. We memorized many. many poems. That was their way I guess, it worked. I love to read the work of the great poets still. From high school to the alter, I married just shy of eighteen. The Lord was very good to us he gave us three of his most precious gift s I had a daughter and two sons. They were then and are now the loves of my life. Now that Im older I see things through a bigger picture window, I dont want to come off sounding like my parents but as I remember it they oft en would say It can only get worse. Looking now through the glass, I would have to agree.

Determined to make his fortune in Europe, Mara's husband expects her to sacrifice everything to make his dreams come true – but the sacrifice is more than she could ever have imagined... Beyond the Horizon is a gripping and provocative story of the plight of African women, the lies they were sold about life in Europe, and the false hopes of those they leave behind.

One of the most important works of twentieth-century British literature, The Good Soldier addresses the lives and interrelationships between two couples: one American, one British. A tragicomic novel of manners, in which John Dowell narrates the disintegration of both his own and another marriage, the work’s depiction of passion and intrigue offers an ironic reading of Edwardian-era values. The Broadview edition features the text of the first edition of the novel published by John Lane and The Bodley Head in 1915. It also includes: other writings by Ford Madox Ford (“On Heaven,” excerpts from Henry James: A Critical Study, “On Impressionism,” and “Techniques”); contemporary reviews; and Ezra Pound’s obituary of Ford Madox Ford.

The novel has often been characterized as the art form without a form. Although there may not be any rules for how to write a novel, as Matthew Clark shows in his new work of practical analysis, a good novel is as carefully formed as a good poem. From Paragraphs to Plots uncovers large compositional features of narrative construction, thereby excavating elements that constitute the architecture of the novel. Clark begins by discussing the segmentation of narratives, from the paragraph level up to the whole novel, with case studies of the composition of Jane Austen’s Emma and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. The next chapter explores an important, though often neglected, feature of narrative architecture called ring composition: a particular kind of repetition where the beginning and the end of a text are the same or similar. From there, Clark analyzes in detail two novels, Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, identifying the repetitions, inversions, links, and fragmented narrations that comprise each narrative. The book’s second half focuses on simple and complex plot forms. Examining iterations of simple forms—plots that begin with a specific initiating event and proceed in an essentially regular chronological progression from beginning to middle to end—Clark outlines several common beginnings (Arrival, Departure, Meeting, Need, Birth, Death) and endings (Departures, Returns, Marriages, Need Satisfied, Death), along with a short account of less common ways to begin a novel. Subsequent discussions examine devices used in complex plot forms, such as Beginning with the Ending, Second Chapter Retrospects, Ghosts from the Past, Multiple Retrospects, One-Day Novels, One-Year Novels, Mirror Plots, Simultaneous Narration, Unnatural Chronology, and Non-Narrative Elements. The final chapter draws together the preceding discussions with a detailed case study of a recent novel, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize–winning The Sympathizer. By analyzing common practices of narrative construction, From Paragraphs to Plots identifies sources of beauty and meaning in literature, approaching the aesthetic and the thematic as simultaneous and inextricable.
