Synopsis Earthdivers #16 by : Stephen Graham Jones

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice’s epic time-twisting historical slasher reaches its astonishing end! What began with a bloody battle to kill Christopher Columbus in 1492 has led to a war of words in the revolutionary streets of 1776 Philadelphia as Emily’s strange partnership with Benjamin Franklin brings her within striking distance of the Declaration of Independence. A pen’s stroke may be all that separates the world from total ruin—and Emily’s pact with Tad, Sosh, and Yellow Kid to save the future by stopping the creation of America will live or die with her choices in this final chapter of EARTHDIVERS.

Synopsis The Native American Renaissance by : Alan R. Velie

The outpouring of Native American literature that followed the publication of N. Scott Momaday’s Pulitzer Prize–winning House Made of Dawn in 1968 continues unabated. Fiction and poetry, autobiography and discursive writing from such writers as James Welch, Gerald Vizenor, and Leslie Marmon Silko constitute what critic Kenneth Lincoln in 1983 termed the Native American Renaissance. This collection of essays takes the measure of that efflorescence. The contributors scrutinize writers from Momaday to Sherman Alexie, analyzing works by Native women, First Nations Canadian writers, postmodernists, and such theorists as Robert Warrior, Jace Weaver, and Craig Womack. Weaver’s own examination of the development of Native literary criticism since 1968 focuses on Native American literary nationalism. Alan R. Velie turns to the achievement of Momaday to examine the ways Native novelists have influenced one another. Post-renaissance and postmodern writers are discussed in company with newer writers such as Gordon Henry, Jr., and D. L. Birchfield. Critical essays discuss the poetry of Simon Ortiz, Kimberly Blaeser, Diane Glancy, Luci Tapahonso, and Ray A. Young Bear, as well as the life writings of Janet Campbell Hale, Carter Revard, and Jim Barnes. An essay on Native drama examines the work of Hanay Geiogamah, the Native American Theater Ensemble, and Spider Woman Theatre. In the volume’s concluding essay, Kenneth Lincoln reflects on the history of the Native American Renaissance up to and beyond his seminal work, and discusses Native literature’s legacy and future. The essays collected here underscore the vitality of Native American literature and the need for debate on theory and ideology.
