...Novel came out of the sixties less dead than it came in. For the most part, that was thanks to the experimentation of people like Pynchon, William Gass, John Barth, Donald Barthelme and Robert Coover who were busy providing a set of new literary forms aching for new literary content. And now, just in the past year or so, two novels have appeared that make glimmer the hope that the old Genre might be back on her feet before long.

The demonic, in human affairs, is generally an oversimplification. With Hitler, it is also a refuge. We do not like to diminish ourselves by admitting...
...Professor of Biology. The recommendations of what came to be known as the Brown Report were three-fold: a new department of design should be created for concentration in the visual arts, its curriculum should emphasize two and three dimensional design, and an arts center should be built. The content of the curriculum was to become the most controversial of all recommendations...
