Re: RARA-AVIS: Meet Michael Sharp
Hello all:
My name is Elliott Vanskike, ABD grad student at Univ of Iowa. I put
together a Hammett panel for 96 MLA and am issuing a call for papers for
a Jim Thompson panel (it should appear in the next MLA Newsletter). But,
after reading Michael Sharp's post, I thought it would be smart to post
here too. 10-page papers or detailed 1- or 2-page abstracts on any
aspect of Thompson's work (save film adaptations) by April 1 to
Elliott Vanskike
Dept. of English
EPB 308
Univ. of Iowa
Iowa City, IA 52245
or
elliott@inav.net
I'd also love to hear from anyone interested in/working on experimental
detective fiction (Gertrude Stein's Blood on the Dining-Room Floor,
Robbe-Grillet, New York Trilogy, J.G. Ballard, etc)

My
dissertation is about ideals of masculinity in 14c. England . . . and I
think my interest in the complexity of masculinity, coupled with my
predictable but unrelenting adoration for Jim Thompson novels, led me
into
a general interest in American Crime Fiction. It is now what I consider
my
secondary field of expertise (though compared to many of you I will seem
extraordinarily ignorant at times, I'm sure).
