Speaking softly and slowly, with the slightest Deep South twang, James Sallis is on the line from Phoenix to discuss his new novel, Salt River It's the shortest of his increasingly slim tales to date, but took the longest to write Sallis says he's relying more on improvisation and abandoning "the certainties with which I began writing" but external forces also held up the novel: "An 11-pound tumor was removed from my abdomen My wife Karyn and I named it Gertrude One of my writing students offered to knit a little hat and booties for it” As Sallis recalls this struggle for direction, he sounds like his lost-as-hell antihero, Turner He introduced the existential detective in Cypress Grove, where he fulfils a self-imposed exile in a one-horse town outside Memphis A sequel, Cripple Creek, followed Now Salt River completes the Turner trilogy Sallis presents Turner as a man defined and haunted by what he no longer is: a soldier, a cop and a convict Episodes from his former lives are scattered through the books as flashbacks "Turner is a man whose life has gone through abrupt changes," Sallis explains "I felt that the novels' structures should reflect the seeming discontinuities of his life." It's a technique that is at odds with the thumbnail sketches favoured by crime writers intent on establishing a novel's cast quickly before cracking on with the plot If he takes his time when it comes to characterisation – we don't learn Turner's first name until midway through the second book – Sallis also has a laidback approach to story The barely-there storylines in Salt River almost evaporate on the page You don't get lost in his plots, they tend to lose themselves "Plots are a contrivance – our lives are plotless – yet they're necessary, I think, to literary form," explains Sallis "My way of dealing with this has been to move the plot offstage a bit, to write around it." Is this why, when I think of Sallis's books, I'm hit by smells of home-brewed coffee and wild magnolia rather than anything that actually happened? "Those are the parts of the world that we own, what comes back to us about times in our own lives when we think of the past," he insists "All too often I'm reading this great book with a solid setting, characters that walk right into my own life, then somewhere around the fifth or sixth chapter the plot kicks in – and all that falls into the background I want all that stuff, that surround, to remain in the foreground." He does that "surround" very well, evoking the grit and wit of rural southern life with ease (Sallis grew up in Helena, a small town on the banks of the Mississippi.) He has an ear for sleepy, porch-front wisdom, with his characters often swapping homilies to the sound of cicadae on long summer nights Were there books in the house when he was young? "We're from lower-class, southern stock," he says "My dad was fairly typical, hard-working, blue-collar – hunting on weekends, fixing lawnmowers … My brother and I developed this love for books The first things I read were science fiction." So were the first things Sallis wrote He began to sell stories to magazines then made a life-changing move to London in his early 20s to edit groundbreaking sci-fi magazine New Worlds with Michael Moorcock at the fag-end of the 60s Working alongside Moorcock opened Sallis's eyes to hard-boiled crime fiction: "Mike introduced me to books by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, which I had never found here in the States oddly enough." When Sallis began to write his own crime novels, critics distinguished him as a supposed rare breed – the "literary crime writer" Sallis finds the tag "useless and foolish" but his novels have an undeniable intellectualism that remains rare in the genre Sallis gives me the skinny on the next novel: "The major characters are a contract killer who is dying of cancer, a 12-year-old whose parents have disappeared and who goes on living by himself in the family house, and a pair of detectives, with the point of view shifting among them chapter to chapter." Long-Legged Fly and Cypress Grove started out as standalones, so who knows if this will launch another series As Sallis says: "I never know I'm jumping in the river, I always think I'm just sticking my feet in." What does James Sallis suggest about his latest novel in the first paragraph? A He adapted it as he went along B The main character is based on himself C It caused him to doubt his writing ability D He struggled to portray the main character In the second paragraph, Sallis implies that his novels differ from those of many other crime writers in that A the events in the storylines are not in chronological order B he prefers his characters to feature prominently throughout C his storylines are based mainly on flashbacks D the plots are rather slow to develop In paragraph three, the writer wonders if his reaction to Sallis’ novels are due to the fact that A the plot is not the central focus B the storylines are hard to follow C the writing style is very descriptive D the storylines mirror human experience What does “all that” refer to? A the intricacies of a plotline B aspects of a novel that a reader than identify with C detailed descriptions of characters D the elements of a novel that set the scene According to the fourth paragraph, one way in which Sallis’ upbringing is reflected in his books is through A his poetic writing style B the themes he explores C a focus on characters from the lower class D Some of the dialogue between characters What we learn about Sallis in the sixth paragraph? A He was heavily influenced by collaboration with other writers B He doesn‘t see himself as an exceptionally good crime writer C He is dismissive of the way he is defined as a writer D He wanted to take an established writing style a step further In the final paragraph, what does Sallis conclude about his writing projects? A He always starts with the basis of a novel and then sees how it develops B He doesn‘t envisage them being ambitious projects at the start C He enjoys not knowing what direction they will eventually take D He doesn’t base his expectations on previous results The word “at odds with" is closest in meaning to A at variance with B consistent with C averse to D in tandem with The word “contrivance” is closest in meaning to A need B deception C loss 10 The word “skinny” is closest in meaning to D an artificial product A lesser-known information B the bottom line C little information D the thread READING COMPREHENSION GRAPHIC NOVELS: A FRESH ANGLE ON LITERATURE Has the graphic novel – a fictional story presented in comic-strip format finally become intellectually respectable? Graphic novels have just landed with an almighty kersplat Ten days ago, two such works were shortlisted for the Shakespeare Book Awards for the first time in the history of the prize, in two different categories This was no publicity stunt: neither panel knew what the other had done This is, surely, the moment when the graphic book finally made its entrance into the respectable club room of high literature Hang on, though: can you compare a graphic novel with the literary kind? Wouldn’t that be like comparing a painting with a music video? Or is it time we started seeing them as comparable mediums for storytelling? If so, what next? Robert Macfarlane, the chairman of another major literary award, says he has no objection in principle to a graphic novel being submitted for the prize In fact, he has taught one, Art Spiegelman’s Maus, alongside the works of Russian writer Tolstoy and Don Quixote (by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes) at the University of Cambridge, where he works in the English Faculty ‘The idea of outlawing the graphic novel doesn’t make any sense to me,’ he says ‘I don’t segregate it from the novel The novel is always eating up other languages, media and forms.’ Graphic fiction, he says, is ‘another version of the novel’s long flirtation with the visual’ This is, he declares, ‘a golden age for the graphic novel.’ And he’s right We are seeing a boom in graphic novels Since Maus was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1992, they have gone on to devour every literary genre going But so far, graphic novels have politely stood aside and let conventional books win the big prizes Now they want the vote Fighting for the graphic novelists’ cause, astonishingly, are some hefty prize-winning writers The English novelist and poet A S Byatt is passionately in favour of graphic novels competing with regular ones Byatt, who is a huge fan of Spiegelman’s Maus, think that French-Iranian artist Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis stands ‘head and shoulders above most novels being produced It’s none interesting and more moving It’s able to be serious because it can carry itself along on this unserious form It allowed her to be witty about things that are terrible And that’s why it’s a major work of art’ The genius of the graphic novel, as the English writer Philip Pullman explains, is that it can bring into play so many levels of narrative by layering them on top of each other Take American Alison Bechdel’s brilliant Are You My Mother? - in a single page, she can depict a memory of being with her mother in her childhood, dialogue between herself and her mother as they chat on the phone in the present, plus an image of herself toiling at her desk, trying to write her memoir And what Bechdel and her mum are saying on the phone links to the diaries of the early 20th-century writer Virginia Woolf, which Bechdel also brings to visual life Try doing that with words it would take a chapter Bechdel does it in a few panels That, in the end, is precisely what keeps graphic literature so distinct from prose narrative Graphic novels and traditional novels demand, to be sure, the same amounts of time, intellect and artistry from the authors But that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing A few years on, will you be clicking the buy button on a graphic novel as happily as you’d pick up a work by a traditional novelist? Even Bechdel confesses that her reading habits are still struggling out of the past ‘Honestly, I would be slightly more inclined to pick up a non-graphic work,’ she says ‘At this point, there’s not a huge number of graphic novels that are about topics that interest me But that, too, is changing We’re becoming more visually literate There’s some reason for these graphic novels creeping into the canon We’re reading differently from how we used to 200 years ago’ What does the writer say about the nomination of two graphic novels for the Shakespeare Book Awards? A It revealed the closed-mindedness of the literary establishment B It was the result of confusion among members of the panel C It generated debate about the true purpose of the prize D It was not deliberately calculated to attract people’ attention The word ‘panel’ in the text refers to A The novelists B The specialists C The voters D The graphic designers What does Robert Macfarlane suggest about graphic novels? A Their long-term success has now been assured B Their banning from literature courses has backfired C They are a logical step in the development of fiction D They tend to be less innovative than traditional novels The word ‘segregate’ is closest in meaning to A exclude B disengage C disaffiliate D victimize In the third paragraph, the writer suggests that, in the past, writers of graphic novels A lacked the support of influential figures B were systematically discriminated against C tended to accept their inferior social standing D underappreciated the importance of literary awards The word ‘hefty’ is closest in meaning to A cumbersome B prominent C immense D vigorous What does Byatt suggest when the novelist and poet says Persepolis stands “head and shoulders above most novels being produced”? A The work is far superior to most novels being produced B The quality of the graphic novel challenges all the literary norms C The author of the graphic novel has gone great lengths to finish the work D The work is being published in inordinate numbers The writer discusses Alison Bechdel’s book to make the point that graphic novels A can have just as much narrative depth as traditional novels B are able to incorporate a surprising range of different novels C can represent the workings of memory in sophisticated ways D enable writers to deal with different aspects of a story at once Beehdel is quoted in the last paragraph to make the point that A interest in graphic novels reflects a more general trend B many readers lack the skills to fully appreciate graphic novels C it is difficult to persuade people to take graphic novels seriously D graphic novels are far outnumbered by quality traditional novels 10 In this article, the writer is A analyzing the preoccupations of graphic novelists B outlining the origins of graphic novels C describing the working practices of graphic novelists D evaluating the merits of graphic novels VI GUIDED CLOZE GUIDED CLOZE 1: Choose the most appropriate words to fill in the blanks SUGAR: THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE?
