''A Convergence of Birds'' is a collection of experimental fiction and poetry inspired by the artwork of Joseph Cornell. Jonathan Safran-Foer, while still an unpublished college-student, solicited his favorite authors to write about Cornell prints which he sent them in the mail along with his request for submissions. He was surprised when many of most famous and well-regarded personages on his list—including Joyce Carol Oates, Rick Moody, Barry Lopez, and others—responded enthusiastically to his proposal. These respondents, he writes, "were believers. But not in me and my maladroit proposal. It wasn't my supplication they were responding to, it was Cornell's--not even Cornell's, but that of his boxes. The boxes called the writers from great distances; they demanded the attention of those who had no attention to spare." ==Table of Contents== "Emory Bird Hands' Birds" by Barry Lopez "Rowing In Eden"by Erik Anderson Reece "It Generally Leads a Solitary Life or Lives in Pairs" by Rick Moody "The Box Artist" by Joyce Carol Oates "Showing An Episode" by Diane Williams "The Cursive Example" by Howard Norman "Construction" by John Burghardt "Boxed In" by Paul West "Nine Boxes" by Siri Hustvedt "The Grand Hotels" by Robert Coover "For Brother Robert" by Bradford Morrow "Magic Musée" by Martine Bellen "The Appearance of Things" by Dale Peck "Slide Show" by Joanna Scott "Of A Feather" by Diana Ackerman "Bookmark, Horizon (Emily Dickinson)" by Ann Lauterbach "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" by Mary Caponegro "Grid Box" by Rosmarie Waldrop "Song" by Robert Pinsky "The Impetus Was Delight" by Lydia Davis "Poem In Which a Bird Does Some of the Talking" by Jonathan Yau "If the Aging Magician Should Start to Believe" by Jonathan Safran-Foer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Convergence of Birds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
