“an affront to writers everywhere.” The result is Pussy (2017), a brief satire about the childhood and young adulthood of Prince Fracassus, who resembles Trump in appearance, speech and character. Moreover, as the novel closes with Fracassus’ being elected the Prime Mover of the Federation of All the Republics, other personalities of contemporary political life appear thinly disguised as minor characters. This paper thus compares the recent socio-political reality with its reflection in the novel,
additionally commenting on the text’s common features with the classics of British literature that some reviewers identified as Jacobson’s inspirational sources.
in English literature and women’s studies at Lodge’s fictionalized version of the University of Birmingham, confronts the inconsistencies in her thinking after meeting Vic Wilcox, the manager of an engineering firm. Both academics are satirized for their limited viewpoints and portrayed as benefitting from their experience through the realization that their academic careers have alienated them from the real world.
strategies, such as translation by omission, explanation, substitution or generalization. Besides discussing the possible motivation for these strategies, I use the skopos theory to argue that in spite of omitting some of the nuances, Přidal produced a functional translation aimed at the general reader. As the 2008 edition of Přidal’s translation makes
no changes to the instances of intertextuality analysed in this paper, the implication is that even at present, anglophone literary texts may not provide an easily shared point of reference.
identifies herself as belonging to the Muscogee/Creek nation and stresses that her family members are also related to the Cherokee nation. In 2002, she received a PEN/Open Book (known as the Beyond Margins Award through 2009) for her book A Map to the Next World: Poems and Tales. From the first poem in this collection, she makes clear that the word “story” is central to her view of poetry. More specifically, many of her narrative poems read like stories about various moments of her life or reflect on the tradition of storytelling and ritual in Native American communities. Consequently, a related feature of Harjo’s poetry is an interest in the past. While she occasionally reminds her audience of the violence committed against Native Americans throughout history, she sees remembering the past primarily as a source of one’s identity and power, for example by emphasizing that the
members of her nation would start to introduce themselves by explaining who their ancestors were. Thus, in my paper, I examine the
ways in which Harjo’s poetry illustrates the author’s concepts of story and memory.
