Beginning this blog is my current project given that I have so much to learn about how to navigate in one. Once I am more able to use this vehicle, I would like to talk about aspects of contemplative literature. I highly recommend an old book called Aspects of the Novel by E.M. Forster, especially the chapter called "Prophecy." That's my kind of novel. I'd like to discuss my own story. Is it contemplative? Is it the first post-modern novel in the canon of Mormon literature? Is it Christian, Buddhist or neither? Is it well-written? I would enjoy and profit from thinking about it with others. It's titled Blacktime Song by Rosalie Wolfe and is being published under my full name, Marylee Daniel Mitcham.
Here's a list pulled from the story: Hannah/Rosalie Wolfe, Meadow Wolfe, J.Norris Simpson, the Simpson boys, the girl at the Yumaville Motel, Sebastian/Ian, Justin, the girl holding Justin's hand, the Cowboy, Antlers the cat, Jesus/Christ/God, King James, Lucille Richards Wolfe, Jack Wolfe, Legrande Richards, Mark Twain, Rene Montaigne, James Dent, Peep Dent, The Holy Spirit, Dulcinea the cat, Daniel Barchilon and family -- Anita, Benoit, Michelle, Henri; Buffalo Bill, Rosa Bonheur, Slim Critchlow, Benedicte Dupuy, Horace Bixby, Susie, Brahms, Old Dan Tucker, Peter Bonavich, Eul Choi, Elder Prosser, Elder Richards, Lost Five Brothers and---I can't finish because it might give the story away.
