Ship Fever: Stories PDF
By:Andrea Barrett
Published on 1996-11-17 by W. W. Norton & Company


1996 National Book Award Winner for Fiction. The elegant short fictions gathered hereabout the love of science and the science of love are often set against the backdrop of the nineteenth century. Interweaving historical and fictional characters, they encompass both past and present as they negotiate the complex territory of ambition, failure, achievement, and shattered dreams. In |Ship Fever,| the title novella, a young Canadian doctor finds himself at the center of one of history's most tragic epidemics. In |The English Pupil,| Linnaeus, in old age, watches as the world he organized within his head slowly drifts beyond his reach. And in |The Littoral Zone,| two marine biologists wonder whether their life-altering affair finally was worth it. In the tradition of Alice Munro and William Trevor, these exquisitely rendered fictions encompass whole lives in a brief space. As they move between interior and exterior journeys, |science is transformed from hard and known fact into malleable, strange and thrilling fictional material| (Boston Globe).

When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings.

Prizing Children’s Literature PDF By:Kenneth B. Kidd,Joseph T. Thomas Jr. Published on 2016-11-10 by Routledge Children's book awards have mushroomed since the early twentieth-century and especially since the 1960s, when literary prizing became a favored strategy for both commercial promotion and canon-making. There are over 300 awards for English-language titles alone, but despite the profound impact of children’s book awards, scholars have paid relatively little attention to them. This book is the first scholarly volume devoted to the analysis of Anglophone children's book awards in historical and cultural context. With attention to both political and aesthetic concerns, the book offers original and diverse scholarship on prizing practices and their consequences in Australia, Canada, and especially the United States. Contributors offer both case studies of particular awards and analysis of broader trends in literary evaluation and elevation, drawing on theoretical work on can
