She has received multiple fellowships from Yaddo, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation, and was awarded the 1989 Prix Femina Estranger for The Truth About Lorin Jones . In addition to her fiction, Lurie has achieved great fame as an essayist and children’s writer, with books like Don’t Tell the Grown-Ups: Why Kids Love the Books They Do and The Language of Clothes .

22. Alison Lurie Publishes 10th Novel
    Article by Paul Cody in the Cornell Chronicle.

    Extractions: Retired but unretiring, Professor Alison Lurie publishes her 10th novel Alison Lurie signs copies of her books at the Cornell Campus Store in 1994. University Photography By Paul Cody "At three a.m. on a windy late-November night, Jenny Walker woke in her historic house in an historic New England town, and sensed from the slope of her mattress and the chill of the flowered percale sheets that Wilkie Walker, the world-famous writer and naturalist, was not in bed beside her." So begins Cornell English Professor Alison Lurie's most recent novel, The Last Resort (Henry Holt, 1998), her first novel in a decade and the 10th of her career. In a single opening sentence deft, graceful, subtle, packed with meaning Lurie puts the world of her novel, its terms and stakes, into rapid motion. A chilly marriage bed, an absent husband, a worried wife, set in a historic house and town, on decorous flowered sheets, late in the year, just before winter. Let the high Lurie comedy begin. "It's been much too long since Lurie's last novel," said

23. Alison Lurie, Don't Tell The Grown-Ups
    A review of alison lurie's book of essays by Diane McDonough.  
    http://www.greenmanreview.com/dont_tell_the_grownups.html
    
    Extractions: Alison Lurie, Don't Tell the Grown-Ups (Avon Books, 1990) If you ever wondered at the appeal of Kate Greenaway's winsome lasses with their wispy Empire gowns, if you've ever contemplated the universal charm of Pooh Bear, if you've ever tucked The Secret Garden into your suitcase to peruse on vacation, then Alison Lurie's book of essays is for you. Complete with biographical tidbits and juicy gossip about some of the icons of childhood's literature, Lurie explores the themes of subversion in the books loved by children, introducing lots of background to support her theory. Best of all, she writes of the Bastable children and E. Nesbit, prompting an immediate reading of The Wouldbegoods but, I digress. Lurie argues that certain aspects of children's literature, not necessarily that ordained by the status quo, reinforce primitive cultural aspects of childhood. To support her theory, she goes to the stories that "were the sacred texts of childhood, whose authors had not forgotten what it was like to be a child. To read them was to feel a shock of recognition, a rush of liberating energy." The author explores fairy tales, Pooh Bear and J.R.R. Tolkien with an analytical yet affectionate eye that belies the serious scholarship and research underpinning each essay. It is biographical data that shines in each essay. I shall never again look at Kate Greenaway's girls without hearing the plaintive plea of John Ruskin, the Victorian literary lion. The great man wished to peek under the little imaginary frocks of Greenaway's bucolic children. When Greenaway presented him with her illustrations for Browning's "Pied Piper of Hamelin," he positively whines at the overabundance of garments on the girls: "I think we might go to the length of expecting the frocks to come off sometimes."

26. LESELUST Alison Lurie - Affären *** Amerikanische Literatur - Lesen - Rezension
    Rezension von Daniela Ecker.  
    http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/lurie_alison_affaeren.htm
    
    Extractions: Ein halbes Jahr in London! Wie sehr Vinnie Miner sich darauf gefreut hat, ist vielleicht für Außenstehende nicht so leicht nachzuvollziehen; aber obwohl sie immer nur wenige Wochen am Stück in England verbringen konnte, betrachtet sie sich doch, dem Herzen nach, als Engländerin. Und speziell London ist die Stadt, die es ihr angetan hat, so abweisend sie auch auf den ersten Blick erscheinen mag. Nicht nur sie hat ein Stipendium für ein halbes Jahr erhalten; auch Fred Turner, ebenfalls Dozent an Vinnies Universität, darf hier für sein Buch forschen. Aber im Gegensatz zu ihr fühlt er sich nicht angenommen von dieser Stadt, ganz im Gegenteil: alles ist teuer, die Menschen schwer zugänglich, und ohnehin hatte er sich alles ganz anders vorgestellt. Zum Beispiel, dass er hier nicht alleine sein würde, sondern dass auch seine Frau mit ihm die Stadt entdecken würde; aber kurz vor der Abreise hatten sie sich getrennt, und nun stand er da, mit der viel zu großen Wohnung und den Kosten, die er eigentlich gar nicht begleichen konnte. Dass er der (ohnehin nur aus Mitleid mit seiner hungrigen Erscheinung) ausgesprochenen Einladung der ältlichen Vinnie Miner gefolgt war, lag nur an der Gelegenheit, sich endlich wieder kostenlos satt essen zu können. Aber dann - trifft er ausgerechnet auf dieser Party eine Schauspielerin, in die er sich sofort Hals über Kopf verliebt. Und obwohl er es sich überhaupt nicht leisten kann, umgarnt er die einige Jahre ältere Rosemary, bis er endlich zum allgemein tolerierten Mann an ihrer Seite wird.

Penguin, paper, $13 (0-14-200252-6). 809.3. In clear, lively, unpretentious style, Lurie writes serious literary criticism about the best children’s books, classic and contemporary. Most of these 14 essays first appeared in the New York Review of Books, and as in her first collection, Don’t Tell the Grown-Ups (1990), she talks to adults about the stories and how they reflect the changing image of childhood. This time she also focuses on the writers’ own lives and what their stories say about their growing up or not wanting to grow up. In a great piece on J. K. Rowling (a “folktale heroine,” once a welfare mother, who “has clearly now become a fabulously rich princess”), Lurie places Harry Potter in the honorable tradition—from Tom Sawyer to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz—where the child characters are neither perfect nor obedient, and it’s not always easy to distinguish the adult ogre from the helpful giant. Neither condescending nor preachy, this is for parents, teachers, children’s literature students, and for any reader who wonders why some stories are always with us. — Hazel Rochman (Booklist/November 15, 2002)

Now fully updated to reflect the latest research on how children learn language, this newest edition is easier to use than ever. The Spalding Method helps train the right and left sides of the brain as children see, hear, read, and write. It is cost-effective and efficient; students use pencils, paper, and their minds. The results are stunning: Children learn to connect speech sounds to print and begin to write and read almost magically. Spalding students perform well in the classroom and on tests and most important, they love to read and write. Romalda Bishop Spalding, a graduate of Columbia University, developed her method using principles learned from the eminent neurologist Dr. Samuel T.

Women's Health Summary Unmarried, fifty-four year-old Virginia Miner (Vinnie), a professor at Corinth who specializes in children's literature, is off to London for another research trip. Her work has been trashed by a Professor L. Zimmern of Columbia and she is hoping to produce an important new book about playground rhymes that will restore her reputation and confidence. A 'pro' at long flights, her serenity is ruffled by her seatmate, a garrulous married man, Chuck Mumpson, of Tulsa who wishes to chat. She puts him off with difficulty. But the smoking and drinking Chuck is persistent. He could use help with a research trip of his own to trace his family history. Vinnie slowly becomes involved with his project, and then with him. Meanwhile, her young colleague, Fred Turner, has left his wife, Roo, at home for his own sabbatical; they have quarreled. Soon, he consoles himself with the affections of Lady Rosemary Hadley. Quite by accident and with the encouragement of Chuck, Vinnie becomes an emissary for Fred's estranged wife in an improbable midnight walk on Hampstead Heath.
