BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Flesh Home:The Uncanny Female Architecture of Blake Butler's 'EVER'
No full text'Within the psychic architecture that is EVER, Blake Butler explores the way bodies swell and contract, going from skin to house and back again. And the way houses too shrink to fit us first like clothing and then like skin and then tighter still. The result is a strange, visionary ontological dismemberment.' (Brian Evenson) This chapter examines the relationship between sexuality, flesh, and spatiality by examining Blake Butler's novel EVER. By reading sections of the novel which conflate and collapse the home and the female body, it seeks to test Brian Evenson's statement that Butler achieves an 'ontological dismemberment'. The paper will also use Anthony Viedler's work on the architectural uncanny, and, Freud's concept of the uncanny. By considering Freud's statement that 'Love is home-sickness and whenever a man dreams of a place or a country and says to himself, while he is still dreaming: "this place is familiar to me, I’ve been here before," we may interpret the place as being his mother’s genitals or her body', the chapter interrogates the ways in which Butler achieves an uncanny conflation between sexuality and home, between architecture and flesh. The flesh of the female protagonist is described as 'stretched', 'swelling', and 'fat'; her fatness is figured as sexually enticing and yet repellent, her flesh a comfort and a terror. The article concludes by positing a theory of an uncanny geography of fat flesh; a flesh home that is at once desirable and terrifying. It argues that rather than the 'ontological dismemberment' put forward by Evenson, in fact, the book achieves a fusion of flesh and home that is insoluble
