![]() ![]() ![]() Conley’s trail-blazing, Indian-protagonist Western novels have helped open the doors for many other Indian writers, and they reach a mass-market reading audience, one that extends far beyond the confines of academe. Conley played one of the most important pioneering roles in getting mass-market Western novels published in which Indians can be the “good guys,” whether or not the world might be ready for that.Ībout eighty books later, Conley is still cranking them out. The commercial publishers of Westerns in New York knew they had met their match and promptly surrendered. He wrote Strange Company, a Civil War yarn set in Indian Territory, about a couple of escaped military prisoners chained together-a Harvard College-educated Cherokee, side-kicking a semi-literate Iowa farm boy named Ben Franklin, who thought he’d been named after the first President of the United States. No, our tormented soul took that editor’s advice, and he went back to work on his trusty old typewriter. ![]() No, we’re not talking about the guy who created the Lone Ranger and Tonto, though our tormented soul did tell that editor that what he was suggesting had already been done. Imagine a deeply frustrated Indian writer, a phone cradled to his ear, listening to his would-be editor in New York telling him that his fiction manuscript is all wrong because America isn’t yet ready for an Indian good guy in a Western novel, but maybe, maybe if he’d change the Indian to a white guy’s sidekick, maybe the editor would have another look at it. ![]()

But Cusk wonders in Kudos whether they–like Medea, Antigone and other women of Greek tragedy–can achieve honor through that suffering. “Now what replaces it?”įaye and her friends are still trapped in archetypes: the angry feminist who fights against marriage, or the martyr who sacrifices herself to the institution. “With #MeToo, we’re witnessing an unraveling of an old morality,” Cusk says. That process may begin with righteous anger, as when Faye’s friends share stories about abusive exes and question gender roles. “The private consciousness was enacted on the public stage,” says Cusk of Brexit, “including the trauma.” Cusk hints that society should rebuild its structures rather than seek liberation from them. Faye’s seatmate on a plane interprets signs lobbying voters to “leave” or “remain” as a personal comment on his own marriage. The costs of freedom also take on a political import: the U.K.’s divorce from the European Union haunts the novel, set shortly before the Brexit vote. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here, Henderson impulsively performs a feat of strength by moving the giant wooden statue of the goddess Mummah and unwittingly becomes the Wariri Rain King, Sungo.

However, it often happens that, in that interest in the religious, people often resort to various new spiritual movements, and it seems that Christianity somehow loses its place and role. Geschiedenis, kunst en cultuur tussen Maas, Rijn en IJssel (Matrijs, Utrecht 2003) (redactie van oorspronkelijke uitgave door Johannes Stinneren Karl-Heinz Tekath). In the earlier phase of urbanization a significant detachment from the religious occurred, while in recent time we are witnesses of a powerful return of interest in religion and spirituality in towns.
