American Originals, American Adaptations |
Editorial Letter, 1 March 2002
Editor: Julianne Newmark
Xchanges is a journal devoted to, as its title suggests, intellectual and scholarly "exchange" of ideas. Each year two issues of Xchanges are produced, the first of which is an open-issue with a distinct theme (published in March of each year). The present issue, "American Originals; American Adaptations," is such an issue and the essays here were selected from essays submitted in response to an open Call for Papers.
Contributors to this Issue:
Susan Kerns, "O Homer, Where Art Thou? A Greek Classic Becomes an American Original"
Andrea Wild, "The Suicide of the Author and his Reincarnation in the Reader: Intertextuality in The Hours by Michael Cunningham"
Natalie Wilson, "Flannery O'Connor's Corporeal Fiction Re-Materialized in the Works of Katherine Dunn, Elizabeth McCracken, and George Saunders"
