Extractions: October 8-10, 1991 W.P. Kinsella W.P. Kinsella has published 15 books and over 200 short stories, but he is best known for his award-winning novel Shoeless Joe, which was made into the highly praised film Field of Dreams . The New York Times has said that his work "defines a world in which magic and reality combine to make us laugh and think about the perceptions we take for granted." His life, like his fiction, seems to have an element of magic to it. Kinsella writes primarily about baseball ( The Thrill of the Grass and The Iowa Baseball Confederacy ) and Indians ( The Moccasin Telegraph and The Fencepost Chronicle ), but he is quick to point out that he is neither an Indian nor a baseball player. He grew up in Canada, an only child, in almost total isolation on a farm in Northern Alberta. He did not attend school until fifth grade, studying at home by correspondence. Having no playmates, he created fictional friends and wrote about them from age six on. He worked at a series of jobs-clerk, insurance investigator, restaurateuruntil he eventually went back to school and received a BA. in Creative Writing at age 39. Shortly before his forty-second birthday his first book, Dance Me Outside , was published. At the age of 45, with the publication of

Extractions: by W. P. Kinsella Ray Kinsella, sitting on the porch of his Iowa farm one evening, hears the voice of a ghostly baseball announcer. It speaks to him the famous line, "If you build It, he will come." Needing no further explanation, Kinsella visualizes the ball field he is being asked to create in the middle of his field of corn. The voice will speak only two more things to Ray: "Ease his pain" and "Go the distance," and yet the dreaming, idealistic man knows just what it is he has to do.

Extractions: James Patterson - Several years ago, one of his nursery rhyme titles caught my eye. I read it and enjoyed it, so I read the others. I went back and read his older books, and really liked those. I think The Thomas Berryman Affair is very good, and if you can find an early hard cover edition of The Jericho Covenant , read it. He takes a good story and puts a very creative presentation. So, why does Patterson make the Hall of Shame? Well, I noticed that a couple of his early books started showing up as paperbacks with new nursery rhyme titles. For instance, The Jericho Covenant was released as See How They Run . That was bad, but what earned him charter membership in my Hall of Shame is that he took his 1980 book Virgin , updated some of the environmental references, such as the posters on the teenager's walls are now N*SYNC instead of Duran Duran, and then has the nerve to release this so-called update as a hardcover with a new title, The Cradle Will Rock And now, the newest inductee

Extractions: LMS-0107 W.P. Kinsella fonds. - 1973-1998. - 29 m of textual record and other material. W.P. Kinsella was born in 1935, 60 miles west of Edmonton, Alberta. Kinsella worked in the business world for 20 years before earning his B.A. in creative writing from the University of Victoria (1974) and a M.F.A. from the University of IowaÂ’s WriterÂ’s Workshop (1978). From 1978 until 1983 when he began to write full-time, Kinsella taught creative writing and modern literature at the University of Calgary. KinsellaÂ’s novels occur in two types of settings: stories situated in the world of Native reserves in southern Alberta and baseball-inspired fictions set in the American Midwest. His best-known baseball-inspired novel is Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa (1980), which was later adapted as the film Field of Dreams (1989). Stories with Native characters are included in the collections:

Extractions: john morash, the peak At the end of last summer I attended a wedding in Prince George, B.C., and had the oppurtunity to meet Kinsella, the groom's father's best friend. I thought this was a great opportunity to gain some practical insight on writing from a writer who, in his words, "Can't quite play with Grisham or King, but [has] done quite well in Canada, and around the world." The second must for a fiction writer is an imagination. A writer must have an imagination mediated by the ability to "tone up the mundane and tone down the bizarre." Kinsella explains the imaginative juggling act a fiction writer must perform every day. This means studying the personalities around you and using their characters in totally different situations. Kinsella says, "I get great story ideas from reading the daily news and applying the characters I've created to those situations." Kinsella has engaged in a life-long study of people and how they act and react. This is perhaps his greatest asset as a writer, because he instantly makes connections with his readers through simple truths of human character and behavior. To make a character believable without threading paragraph after paragraph with descriptions of appearance, "you can give a character something distinctive, a mannerism, something easy to remember which allows the readers in." For example, "a person who is constantly pushing up his glasses or a woman who always flips her hair out of her eyes."

Extractions: Kinsella still smiles today at the thought of Field of Dreams, which is based on his story Shoeless Joe Comes to Iowa. "Robinson kept in touch with me all through the filming," he remembers. "I didn't have much input into it. He said we'd have to telescope time - cut out all these characters because there wasn't time for them in an hour-and-forty-minute movie. Well, when I read the screenplay I had tears in my eyes. I said, 'Gosh, this is my own work that's doing this to me.' I don't see how they could have done a better job."
