ellauri106.html on line 69: From 1958 onwards, the couple lived in New York on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and in 1959 they spent seven months in Italy on a Guggenheim grant. Upon their return, they both settled in Iowa City, where Roth led the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. The experiences in small-town Iowa far away from the American metropolises flowed into Roth's second novel Letting Go (Other People's Worries), which was published in 1962, but in contrast to Roth's previously published volume of short stories Goodbye, Columbus caused mixed reactions from critics. Stanley Edgar Hyman, for example, criticized weaknesses in the narrative structure of the novel, the two narrative parts of which are only superficially connected, but praised what he saw as "the keenest eye for the details of American life since Sinclair Lewis". Letting Go is also the first novel in which Roth, as in numerous later works, made the writings of his literary predecessors an integral part of the narrative, and is therefore often referred to as Roth's first "Henry James novel".
ellauri106.html on line 106: That same year, rather than wait to be drafted, Roth enlisted in the army. Roth enlisted in the Army that year to avoid being drafted and assigned to unpleasant duty like the infantry. Fortunately he suffered a back injury during basic training and was given a medical discharge. Who knows. He returned to Chicago in 1956 to study for a PhD in literature but dropped out after one term. It was a yeasty environment for a young writer. Saul Bellow was a contemporary and with some what similar backgrounds and interests they could not avoid being rivals. During that year he met a lovely shiksa waitress Margaret Martinson, a single woman with a small child. He was smitten. An intense, but often troubled relationship ensued. At the end of the year he dropped out of the U of C and headed to the University of Iowa to teach in its creative writing program. None the less, whatever he may have said, Roth was not happy there, perhaps because the semi-rural Midwesterness of Ames was alien to him. After a while with Martinson in tow he moved on to a similar position at Princeton, another WASP bastion but one with even more prestige. Everyone who knew him recognized Roth as an early comer. He later continued his academic career at the University of Pennsylvania, where he taught comparative literature before retiring from teaching in 1991. Roth started teaching literature in the late 1960s at the University of Pennsylvania. The 1969 feature film adaptation of Goodbye, Columbus coincided with the publication of Portnoy’s Complaint, which soon became a best-seller amid controversy for its prurient content. (Those who've read it will likely not forget Portnoy's "love affair" with mom´s slab of liver in the fridge.)

ellauri245.html on line 749: Vaikka hänen elokuviensa taloudellinen menestys olikin ailahtelevaa, kriitikoiden ja nyky-yleisön silmissä Altmanin voittokulku 1970-luvulla näytti loputtomalta: peräjälkeen syntyi elokuvia kuten McCabe ja Mrs Miller (1971) ja Pitkät jäähyväiset (The Long Goodbye, 1973), jotka iskostuivat välittömästi modernin Hollywood-elokuvan kaanoniin. Näistä kuten muistakaan Altmanin filmeistä en muista yhtäkään.
ellauri284.html on line 241: Kenttämarsalkka Douglas Haigiin, jonka käskyjen väitetään johtaneen satoihin tuhansiin brittiläisiin kuolemiin Passchendaelen ja Sommen taisteluissa, viitataan jatkuvasti. Blackadder itse kuvailee Haigin etenemisyrityksiä vain "toiseksi jättimäiseksi yritykseksi siirtää juomakaappinsa kuusi tuumaa lähemmäs Berliiniä" ja Melchettiltä kysyttäessä ehdotuksia joukkojen moraalin parantamiseksi, ehdottaa nauraen Haigin eroa tai itsemurhaa. "Goodbyeee" -elokuvassa kohtaus parodioi Haigin ammatillisia kykyjä kuvaamalla marsalkkaa leikkimässä lelusotilaiden kanssa, jonka hän lakaisee välinpitämättömästi haudosta toiseen ja sitten roskakoriin kuunnellessaan Blackadderin vetoomusta päästä puhumaan suureen puhelimeen. Sommen sotilaspalvelijoista ja rivimiehistä Tolkien tiivisti Sam Gamgin, Frodon uskollisen ja kätevän kumppanin.
ellauri284.html on line 249: Tämän sarjan viimeinen jakso, "Goodbyeee", vaikka olikin uskollinen sarjan tavanomaiselle komediatyylille useimmissa edellisissä kohtauksissa, sisälsi ei-komedisen loppukohtauksen, jossa päähenkilöt (paitsi kenraali Melchett) lähetetään lopulta tuleen. Darling säilyttää jonkin verran toivoa sanoen, että tämä saattaa olla viimeinen taistelu ja historia kirjoitetaan nimellä "Suuri sota, 1914-1917". Huolimatta Baldrikin väitteestä, että hänellä on viimeinen ovela suunnitelma pelastaa heidät uhkaavalta tuomiolta, Blackadder toimittaa viimeisen rivin:

Huolimatta All-American linebackerin menetyksestä, joukkue tekee paluun osavaltion mestaruuden neljännellä neljänneksellä ja voittaa tittelin. Kymmenen vuotta myöhemmin neliraajahalvaantunut Gerry kuolee toisessa auto-onnettomuudessa, jonka aiheutti humalainen kuljettaja voitettuaan kultamitalin kuulantyöntössä paralympialaisissa . Hänen hautajaisiinsa osallistuivat entiset jalkapallovalmentajat ja pelaajat avauskohtauksessa.  Julius, josta Gerryn äiti ei aiemmin pitänyt, pitää nyt häntä kädestä, kun hän johtaa joukkuetta surumielisessä versiossa "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye".

Goodbye vulnerability, farewell grief, byebye shame, so long fear, see ya later disappointment. I don't want to feel you up. I'm going to have a couple of beers and a banana nut muffin. Move fat from my cheek to my butt.
xxx/ellauri215.html on line 143: In 1961 Roth visited Bernard Malamud in Oregon. Roth was still in his twenties and had just published his first book of stories, Goodbye, Columbus. Malamud was almost 50 and one of the most famous writers in America. This meeting was immortalised in one of Roth’s greatest books, The Ghost Writer. In this 1979 work, a young writer, Nathan Zuckerman, visits EI Lonoff, a first-generation immigrant modelled on Malamud, who found a new voice for Jewish-American literature. He had found a voice but, more importantly, he had a subject: “life-hunger, life-bargains, and life-terror”—a Jewish experience rooted in the traumas of east Europe and Russia.

Raakoja, primitiivisiä ja tyhmiä. Epäluuloisia, eivät hellitä papusäkistä. Penan Tero ja Teron Pena oli homoja, niinkuin Enkidu ja Gilgamesh. Tero kuoli käsikähmässä ja sen kunniaxi Pena hyppäsi yli reelingin huutaen: Goodbye everybody!
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 408: While en route to New York aboard the steamship Orizaba, he was beaten up after making sexual advances to a male crew member. Just before noon on April 27, 1932, Crane jumped overboard into the Gulf of Mexico. Although he had been drinking heavily and left no suicide note, witnesses believed his intentions to be suicidal, as several reported that he exclaimed "Goodbye, everybody!" before throwing himself overboard. His body was never recovered. A marker in the form of a lifesaver candy on his father´s tombstone at Park Cemetery outside Garrettsville, Portage County, Ohio includes the inscription, "Harold Hart Crane 1899–1932 lost completely at sea". Ai Hart olikin oikeasti Harold, niinkuin bändärinsä Bloom. Childe Haroldeja olisivat halunneet olla kumpikin. But they FAILED!
