  • - Short Fiction from Our Historic Steel Mill Towns
     
    200,95 kr.

    In the 20th century, a flood of Central European immigrants, southern Blacks and Latinos sought work in the steel mills, railroads, oil refineries and factories of the Calumet Region of Northwest Indiana and the Pittsburgh area. They settled in diverse and close-knit neighborhoods where ethnic traditions were hardcoded into everyday life along with pollutants that wafted over all, and a second and third generation followed their parents into earning a "good living" through back-breaking union jobs. Children of Steel is a collection of short stories and fictionalized memoir from Americans who woke up to smog-filled skies and slept through nights that flared orange whenever steel was poured at the mills. These stories of life in steel towns recall an awkward first date at the local bowling alley; a contentious flying saucer sighting; an older couple bickering over where to place their plot at the cemetery; a hard-hatted mentor, skin leathered from the heat of the blast ovens, teaching a gangly youth how to stay alive on the fiery line; a group of talented siblings who dream of becoming the next Jackson Five; the struggles of a naive immigrant wife; the mouthwatering foods served at weddings, picnics and funerals; a son who tries to protect his widowed mother from unwanted advances by a neighbor; and the last days of the last bar standing across from a newly automated mill. This anthology is the nine-year community creative writing project of editor Gloria Ptacek McMillan, Ph.D., born and raised in East Chicago, Indiana, who has taught writing, literature and rhetoric at the University of Arizona Tucson. Its contributors are Jeff Manes, Joan Paylo, Kathy Bashaar, Karen Banks Pearson, Patrick Michael Finn, Sharon Hale Hotko, Curtis Mazzaferri, Barbara Dubos, Joseph S. Pete, Kurt Samano, John Szostek, Hardarshan Singh Valia, Connie Wachala, Alice Whittenburg, Stacy Alderman, Robert McKean, Phyllis Woods, Bianca Roman, Jane Ammeson and Gloria Ptacek McMillan.

    If a novel is a work of prose of some length, this is a novel--but different in that it is more like life, which has no plots and does not reward virtue or punish vice, and in which characters appear and then, if the author doesn't kill them off, remain to the end. Life is messier than Tolstoy and Henry James were willing to admit. Here, in David R. Slavitt's farrago, one thing leads to another but without discernible direction until, at the end, there is a kind of resolution, a vision, however unreliable and approximate, of what the life of the speaker has been. It is a deeply thoughtful book but also laugh-out-loud funny. Like life, if we're lucky. "David Slavitt has (herein) written a book about or for which it is impossible simply to write a blurb-a word, it might interest you to know, coined in 1907 by Gelett Burgess. (Did you think of a purple cow, just then?) The text itself is indescribably (deliciously?) itself. Like the Waloomsac River, it just keeps rolling along, taking the reader irresponsibly with it-laughing out loud again and again and again; marveling at its rapid wit (white water?), the wide breadths of its erudition, the dangerous shallows of its overt and covert cheekiness; marking the vertiginous depths of its, yes, wisdom. To make a long blurb short, I haven't had this kind of significant fun since I stayed up 'til dawn one night in 1962 breathlessly reading Pale Fire for the very first time." -R. H. W. Dillard on Walloomsac: A Week on the River

    Around the edges of human interpersonal encounters are the things left too unsaid: the yearning, the regret, the lust, and most devastatingly, the guilt. Silence is our central tie. We feel it in our bodies. Communicate it with our eyes. The inter- becomes intra- when it is imbibed. Absorbed. The central theme of this collection of poems is that silence imbibed when so much could be said, but the brevity of form demands less.

    "Fabrications": is a spritely love story that in its odd way recapitulates Henry James's The Wings of the Dove. A young man and a young woman are in love but don't have the financial resources they know they will need not just to be comfortable but to avoid the resentment either one would feel about having made a great sacrifice for their lives together. In James's story, Merton Densher married a wealthy young woman at death's door so he can inherit the money he needs in order to marry Kate Croy. Here, it is Nadine, the starlet, who marries the elderly producer with heart troubles, so that she and Abner, the writer, can look forward to a life of comfort and ease. Slavitt notices what James didn't, or couldn't in 1902-that the situation is inherently comic. And he has written a novel that is sprightlier than its model but, because of its humor, closer to the texture of life.
