Jim W. Corder on Living and Dying in West Texas

A Postmodern Scrapbook

By: Jim Wayne Corder

But of all the markers of Corder's Soul-questing, the most poignant is his last: his description of his grandmother's quilt-making, whose intricate (yet homemade) patterns express the true American folk-mandala, symbolic of psychic wholeness."--Jacket.

The Heroes Have Gone

Personal Essays on Sport, Popular Culture, and the American West

By: Jim Wayne Corder

Featuring work previously unpublished, The Heroes Have Gone shows off Jim W. Corder's consummate skills as a memoirist, essayist, and cultural critic. Though the subjects are wide-ranging--West Texas, World War II, writing and teaching, TCU football--one looms above the rest: Corder's lifetime love affair with America's pastoral sport, baseball.

Yonder

Life on the Far Side of Change

By: Jim W. Corder

Merging cultural commentary and intense introspection, Yonder is a remarkable meditation on change, memory, nostalgia, and the modern condition. A contrapuntal mix of contemporary history and the events of the author's personal life, Yonder portrays and ponders a world delivered from the pieties and hierarchies of the past yet incapacitated by the dizzying excess of new connotations and perspectives, choices and possibilities. Yonder is about Corder's struggle for a footing against nostalgia's pull. In a kind of nonlinear, semi random sorting process reflected in the book's structure, Corder turns inward to refocus hazy memories and estimate and shoulder his responsibilities for the turns his life has taken. These events are juxtaposed against the momentous changes of his generation, drawing universal truths from the offhand and obscure, discerning pitch and tone in the white noise.
