American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time)

More of my thoughts on Philip K. Dick's novel "Martian Time-Slip".

The first episode of a two part series on Willa Cather's novel "O Pioneers".

Part two of my series on Philip K. Dick's 1964 novel "Martian Time-Slip".

The first part of my thoughts on Dick's 1964 novel "Martian Time-Slip". Oh, it is so good!

The first episode in my series on the early novels of Willa Cather. We begin with her collection of short stories on art and artists, "The Troll Gardens".

A bit more on the media and the mythology of history in "If There Was No Benny Cemoli", another a Philip K. Dick's 1963 short stories.

I close out my series on turn on early 20th century Afircan-American writers with a look at some more essays by James Weldon Johnson and some of his poems. Next up, Willa Cather's early works.

In this episode, I look at some of James Weldon Johnson's early essays and the introductions to some of his edited work.

In this episode I will look at two Philip K. Dick tales that make up a single story. "Stand-by" and "What'll We Do WIth Ragland Park" together make a short novel about the media, automated political power, folk music, and posthumanism.

Back to some Philip K. Dick short stories. The first we will look at is "The Days of Perky Pat" a tale about war, the future, and Barbie dolls.
