Coraghessan Boyle and Social Satire, at the 2003 NEMLA Convention in Boston, March 6-9. In interviews, T. Coraghessan Boyle has pointed to the ability of social satire to be corrective; to point to behaviors and attitudes that are best avoided. However, he has also expressed a reluctance to preach in any wayit is up to the reader to decide how to respond to his fictional narratives. How does this tensionbetween social satire as corrective vs. an anti-didactic approachplay out in Boyle’s novels and short stories? This call seeks 15-minute presentations dealing with any aspect of this issue. Papers may address, but are certainly not limited to:

For two decades Stanley leads a limited existence at Riven Rock, accompanied by a group of well-paid nurses, gardeners, cooks, and psychologists.

Unfortunately, even Stanley's considerable wealth won't buy him his sanity or freedom from the luxurious prison that he helped build. top of the page How does Boyle introduce historical facts into the novel to move it along?

Water Music T. Coraghessan Boyle Review date: 25/9/2002 Publisher: Granta, 1998 Published: 1993 The Georgian England portrayed in Hogarth's etchings is the inspiration for Boyle's lusty historical novel. Its spiritual home, where its best passages are set, is the gin soaked city of London, its alleys and gutters, whores and thieves. That is also the origin of one of Water Music 's main characters, con man, vagabond, grave robber and would-be gentleman Ned Rise. His struggles against a capricious fate - every time he begins to make money, some disaster leaves him worse off than before - make his adventures entertaining reading. He is a comic rather than a realistic character, so the reader doesn't identify with him enough to feel much sympathy when his fortunes fail. The major part of the novel, however, is set in West Africa, accompanying explorer Mungo Park's expeditions to the Niger river. The inhospitable country - the arid Sahel of his first trip, the jungle of the second - is more a commentary on the London scenes than a contrast with them. The misadventures of Park are reminiscent of Flashman (without the cowardice or a large part of the humour) and, even after Rise joins him, are unsatisfying.

Books 'Riven Rock' by T. Coraghessan Boyle A Bizarre Tale Of Insanity, Psychiatry And Lovelessness Sunday, January 25, 1998 By Bob Hoover, Book Editor, Post-Gazette Riven Rock By T. Coraghessan Boyle Viking The life of Stanley McCormick was all very sad - so much money and all of it worthless to heal the tortured soul of this American millionaire. McCormick, youngest son of Cyrus, the reaper king, was a prisoner of his demented mind. (``Sexual hypochondriacal neurasthenia and incipent dementia praecox'' was the diagnosis.) He was held in near isolation for more than 40 years as a private mental patient in his huge Santa Barbara, Calif., estate, Riven Rock, while his loyal wife waited patiently for his cure. T. Coraghessan Boyle loves these kinds of tales, the bizarre side of the American dream, like the weird John Kellogg from ``The Road to Wellville'' or the fate of the son of Admiral Richard Byrd, who froze to death in Baltimore.

B oo k inist s Buchtipp zu Ein Freund der Erde von T C Boyle Der gespaltene Fels T. Coraghessan Boyle - Riven Rock Die Geschichte des Buches ist bedenklich dürr und im Prolog des Romans "Welt ohne Frauen" auf den ersten beiden Seiten bereits fast vollständig erzählt: Der Millionenerbe Stanley McCormick, erfolgreicher Harvard Student, groß, blond, sportlich, zuvorkommend, wohlerzogener Gentleman und fortschrittlicher Automobilist, heiratet, neunundzwanzigjährig, 1904, die Millionenerbin Kathrine Dexter, die mit einer ebensolchen Aufzählung charakterisiert werden kann. Doch ab diesem Zeitpunkt entwickeln sich die Dinge nicht mehr so, wie in den Klatschspalten der Regenbogenpresse. " an einer Krankheit litt, einer Krankheit, die man nicht sah, nicht sofort und nicht an der Oberfläche. Ihre Krankheit schien sich zu vertiefen, während sie in sie hineinwuchs, schien sich zu dehnen und weiten, um sie aufzunehmen wie die Haut einer Anakonda." Der Roman setzt ein mit der Zugreise Stanleys in Begleitung seines Arztes und seiner persönlichen Pfleger von einer Bostoner Irrenanstalt in sein 35ha großes Ein-Personen-Privatsanatorium "Riven Rock" in Kalifornien.

By Alan Cogan My E-mail COGAN'S REVIEWS The Tortilla Curtain by T. Coraghessan Boyle. Penguin Books. 1995. 355 pages. To order from Amazon Books: Paperback This isn't a book about Mexico. Rather, it's about Mexicans in California right now. It explores the issue of illegal immigration by examining the lives of four characters - two very well-off Californians, Delaney Mossbacher, a nature writer, and his real estate agent wife, Kyra, and a Mexican couple, Cándido Rincón, and his pregnant 17 year old wife, América, both illegal immigrants. The Mossbachers live in an exclusive, secure community overlooking Topanga Canyon. Guess who lives in near starvation in the bushes at the bottom of canyon. As the author describes them, "the Mossbachers were joggers, nonsmokers, social drinkers, and if not full blown vegetarians, people who were conscious of their intake of animal fats. Their memberships include the Sierra Club, Save the Children, the National Wildlife Federation and the Democratic Party." The Rincóns simply have nothing going for them. In fact, one wonders how much misery two people can possibly endure, not only from the U.S. authorities but from their own people and from those gringos who are only too ready to exploit and cheat them. The story begins with a chance encounter when Delaney almost runs down Cándido in his car. This triggers a chain of events that leads to an even more dramatic confrontation. The story switches back and forth between the two couples and, in the process, looks at the issue of illegal immigration from seemingly every point of view.

But he also tends to fix on me a dead-on, apocalyptic stare (look at the book jacket photos) as soon as he finishes answering a question. Not only does the chilling look signal the termination of an answer, it resonates with its own interrogation: "These issues I'm examining within myself, what kind of thought have you given them? Where are your moral boundaries fixed?"

Table of Contents CHAPTER ONE HOW HIS HAND Earlier that day, in the morning, it had been different. He'd awakened at first light and saw her there beside him, the soft petals of her eyelids and her lashes and lips and the fragile composition of her face, and he thought about kissing her, leaning over and brushing his lips against the down of her cheek, but he didn't. He didn't want to wake heror his son either. It was too peaceful, the submarine light, the stealthy tick of the clock, the rudiments of birdnoise, and he didn't want to have to talk to her about the McCormicks and the meeting and what he feared and what he hopedhe hardly knew himself. He stripped off his flannels at the side of the bed and slipped naked into the sitting room with his good Donegal tweed over one arm and a fresh suit of underwear over the other, and dressed like a thief of clothes. Then he was out the door and into another life. He could detect the purl of conversation from within, and his heart sank. This was what he'd been fearing since he'd slipped out of the house and into the festering gray maw of the dawn, what he was afraid of as he emptied bedpans and jerked rigid lunatics and simple morons down from the barred windows and up from the beds: she was there already. Which meant he was late. Officially. He cursed himself and tapped again, this time with a little more vigor, and felt even worse when the murmur broke off abruptly, as if he were interrupting something. There was an agonizing silence during which the wild thought that they were conspiring to leave him out of it altogether raced through his head, and then he heard Dr. Hamilton murmur, "That must be him now," and any trace of composure he might have been able to muster evaporated in that instant. "Come in," the doctor called, and O'Kane felt his face flush as he pushed open the door and entered the room.
