Whether or not it was puppy love, depended on who was the puppy! Brian MacDonald didn't feel that way in 1944 when twenty-three old Jeanette Smith, attractive wife of an Air Corp pilot, started teaching Literature at Brandon High School. He hung around after class for additional instructions in Plato and Shakespeare, among other things. Romantic obsession, nirvana on the live stage, death during combat, and impossible to accept rejection describes what goes on in Brian's life during his senior year. His time in the Navy, a wavering belief in God, de je vue with another older woman, college hi jinks, recall to active duty during Korea, marriage to a high school sweetheart, heart breaking infertility, divorce without a guilty party, procrastination at its worst, early signs of the quagmire that became known as Vietnam are assimilated in to the story. Words of a favorite preacher and the assassination of President Kennedy finally motivates Brian to take a long postponed delay en route. His ultimate surprise adds to the reader's been there, done that perspective as they re-live through the words of Delay En Route the traumatic mid-years of the twentieth century in preparation for the uncertain days that lie ahead.

Why Literary Periods Mattered

Historical Contrast and the Prestige of English Studies

By: Ted Underwood

In the mid-nineteenth century, the study of English literature began to be divided into courses that surveyed discrete "periods." Since that time, scholars' definitions of literature and their rationales for teaching it have changed radically. But the periodized structure of the curriculum has remained oddly unshaken, as if the exercise of contrasting one literary period with another has an importance that transcends the content of any individual course. Why Literary Periods Mattered explains how historical contrast became central to literary study, and why it remained institutionally central in spite of critical controversy about literature itself. Organizing literary history around contrast rather than causal continuity helped literature departments separate themselves from departments of history. But critics' long reliance on a rhetoric of contrasted movements and fateful turns has produced important blind spots in the discipline. In the twenty-first century, Underwood argues, literary study may need digital technology in particular to develop new methods of reasoning about gradual, continuous change.

Fire Canoe

Prairie Steamboat Days Revisited

By: Ted Barris

Years before railroads arrived, the Canadian West was opened up by an unlikely breed of ship: steamboats plying Prairie waterways. Their aboriginal pilots, experts at reading the tricky waterways, called the ships “fire canoes.” By day they chased freight contracts, but at night they introduced the Edwardian Prairies to pleasure cruises.

Coyotes

A Journey Across Borders With America's Mexican Migrants

By: Ted Conover

To discover what becomes of Mexicans who cross into the United States without a visa, Conover traveled and worked alongside them for more than a year. This is the chronicle of his journey. “Ted Conover has written a book about the Mexican poor that is at once intimate and epic. Coyotes is travel literature, social protest, and affirmation. I can compare this book to the best of George Orwell’s journeys to the heart of poverty.” --Richard Rodriguez, author of Brown and Hunger of Memory
