Metafiction and the Postwar Novel is a full-length reassessment of one of the definitive literary forms of the postwar period, sometimes known as 'postmodern metafiction'. In the place of large-scale theorizing, this book centres on the intimacies of writing situations - metafiction as it responds to readers, literary reception, and earlier works in a career. The emergence of archival materials and posthumously published works helps to bring into view the stakes of different moments of writing. It develops new terms for discussing literary self-reflexivity, derived from a reading of Don Quixote and its reception by J.L. Borges - the 'self of writing' and the 'public author as signature'. Across three comprehensive chapters, Metafiction and Postwar Fiction shows how some of the most highly-regarded postwar writers were motivated to incorporate reflexive elements into their writing - and to what ends. The first chapter, on South African novelist J. M. Coetzee, shows with a new clarity how his fictions drew from and relativized academic literary theory and the conditions of writing in apartheid South Africa. The second chapter, on New Zealand writer Janet Frame, draws widely from her fictions, autobiographies, and posthumously published materials. It demonstrates the terms in which her writing addresses a readership seemingly convinced that her work expressed the interior experience of 'madness'. The final chapter, on American writer Philip Roth, shows how his early reception led to his later, and often explosive, reconsiderations of identity and literary value in postwar America.

Conventional wisdom has it that thinking on nature and grace among Roman Catholic intellectuals between the sixteenth century and the eve of Vatican II was severely clouded by the work of Cajetan and his fellow Thomistic commentators. Henri de Lubac has rightly been given credit for pointing this out; and to all appearances, de Lubac's influence won the day, as can be seen by the imprint of his thought upon not just the Second Vatican Council, but also the pontifi cates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. In recent years, however, a new crop of Thomistic scholars has arisen who question whether de Lubac's word on nature and grace should be the last; hence, the debate over the nature-grace relation, so heated in the mid-twentieth century, has been stirred once again. Andrew Dean Swafford here offers a 'third way' by way of the nineteenth-century German theologian, Matthias J. Scheeben, who has been neglected in academic appraisals of the subject until now. Swafford shows that Scheeben captures the very best of both sides, while at the same time avoiding the characteristic pitfalls so often alleged against each.

The Founding fathers left us with many unanswered questions, due to their inability to sell us an airtight document. This is an electrifying, terse, commentary and diverse calculation of critical thinking by a difference of opinion regarding the structure and intent of the Founders of the U.S. Constitution. The author believes the Constitution has a percentage of which is "notional" meaning roughly "not real" and aims at the heart of the voting electorate - We the people. Its historical look back into the mindset of the Founders is astounding in principle, yet provocative in fact, when fast forwarded in real time to America's problems in 2012. Since, the Founders were never elected to represent us and were self appointed slave masters who capitalized on the quintessential innocence of the new nation, paid subordinate wages and were allowed to continue with impunity. They have been adulated by a society, that virtually has been screwed by them and held hostage by their power and control. Many questions concerning the responsibility, honesty, integrity, truthfulness and caring aspects of the Founders are projected through character assassinations, which lead to an upheaval in justice and truth which are the hallmarks of democracy. Democracy is an illusion according to the writer's critique. The questions remain - we are not or will we ever be a British overseas territory? Will we succumb to what the Argentine Falkland Islands have become through globalization - British? The back end of our country is rising up and wants to know what the frack is happening to all of their hard earned money and who and what is controlling their government. The Power and Control of the U.S. by British bankers and no transparency of the private bank known as the umbrella Federal Reserve is expossed as a scam. Our allegedly corrupt Congress is exposed for accepting lobbyist money, that is really a kickback or bribe paid to continue King William I of England's dream of holding onto the monarchy. We have become a "suburb of London" and the Wall Street bankers have taken a script right out of the Queen's playbook.
