transformations, and possible career pathways for writing students.

The combined experience of authors throughout the ages offers a
wealth of valuable information about the practice of creative
writing. However, such lore can also be problematic for students
and practitioners as it can be inherently additive, making it
difficult to abandon processes that do not work. This adherence to
lore also tends to be a US-centric endeavor. In order to take a
nuanced approach to the uses and limitations of lore, The Place and
the Writer offers a global perspective on creative writing pedagogy
that has yet to be fully explored. Featuring a diverse array of
cultural viewpoints from Brazil to Hong Kong, Finland to South
Africa, this book explores the ongoing international debate about
the best approaches for teaching and practicing creative writing.
Marshall Moore and Sam Meekings challenge areas of perceived wisdom
that persist in the field of creative writing, including aesthetics
and politics in institutionalized creative writing; the process of
workshopping; tuition and talent; anxiety in the classroom;
unifying theory and lore; and teaching creative writing in
languages other than English.
Seth Harrington can be invisible or undetectable, but he is not a
superhero. The ability only works in morally grey situations; the
rest of the time, he can't turn it on and off at will. He can use a
movie ticket stub to buy a coffee or a one-dollar bill to pay for a
cell phone. He can stop muggings in plain sight, unseen, but only
with worse violence. But this only adds to his confusion about his
place in the world. Still reeling from the horrors of the September
11 terrorist attacks and ambivalent about his future, Seth is at a
crossroads: Can he be one of the good guys by doing bad things, or
are his newfound powers part of someone else's malevolent agenda?
There are no easy answers or expected outcomes in Marshall Moore's
exploration of urban life and the ways that people can disappear.
A lonely demon in a remote corner of Hell oversees a divine but
rigged type contest. A sentient house in San Francisco decides to
become vacant once again... by any means necessary. A supernatural
first date in Hong Kong goes hysterically, horribly awry. How did
this become my life? And... now what? These questions recur
throughout The Infernal Republic as a cast of characters you'd
either love or run from confront the unlikely and surmount the
impossible. The Infernal Republic is the new collection of short
fiction from Marshall Moore, the author of The Concrete Sky, Black
Shapes in a Darkened Room, and An Ideal for Living. Comprising
stories published between 2003 and 2009, as well as several unique
to this book, The Infernal Republic is Moore at his best: surreal,
hilarious, wise, brutal, and sometimes just plain wrong.
