A Note On Literary Criticism

In this text, Farrell challenges the leading radical literary critics of the 1930s, such as Michael Gold and Granville Hicks, reconsidering issues including the relative autonomy of literature from society and economics; the role of tradition in literary creation; the relation of literature to propaganda; and the nature of aesthetic value.

Uncle Matty Comes Home

On Saint Patrick’s Day 2016, Jim Farrell received a surprising email: an M-1 rifle engraved with the name M. Teahan had been discovered in Normandy 72 years after its owner, Martin (Matty) Teahan, Jim’s uncle, had been killed in the June 1944 D-Day invasion of France. A young private in the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Matty had been laid to rest beside his fellow heroes in the Normandy American Cemetery, but now French Army General Patrick Collet was writing to inform the family that Matty’s rifle had been recovered and was safe in his possession. Luck of the Irish! Thus began Jim Farrell’s adventure of discovery and self-discovery, as he and his family embarked on the successful quest to bring his uncle home in spirit by repatriating his historic rifle. A saga spanning four generations and multiple countries, the rifle’s extraordinary journey and recovery is also the story of Matty Teahan, a humble private made of the stuff that made so many of his generation great—the strength of character, courage, and will-power to prevail against great odds, and the guts, determination, and sheer daring-do to jump out of a perfectly good airplane over enemy territory. Martin Teahan’s emblematic M-1 rifle currently hangs in office of the Chief of Staff of the US Army, awaiting donation to the new US Army Museum at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Similarly, the Farrell family’s quest represents something larger than itself: the intensifying search by the children of the Greatest Generation to understand the facts and meaning of their fathers’ and grandfathers’ war, and their intense desire to come to terms with the often tragic, yet seldom discussed, repercussions of the death and violence their elders experienced in World War II.

THE MORKU DO I HATE, AND THEM WILL I DESTROY! Eldarendar, the terrible Heir of the Rings, has Ten of the Eleven that he needs. The Ring of Wisdom waits for him, beneath the Cidatel of Fairyland, guarded by the demonic Dweller in the Darkness, known only as He that Dwells Beneath. And after this is obtained, the Dark King still waits for the Heir beneath Lamentation Mountain. A mysterious archaeological dig is being carried out at Bialowieza Forest National Park, with an unusual amount of armed guards. The Guides are suspicious, and as it turns out, rightly so. Commanded by the sinister and philosophical Shadow, they are actually agents of the American government, in quest for the fabled kingdom of Nordomba and the sapphire mountain upon its' borders, said to have existed right where the Forest now stands. Except the Forest is flat and swampy, and not at all mountainous. All of it has been explored at some time or another. The only conclusion is that preternatural powers have concealed it from the world. Into the broodings of the agents march an army of Gardun-Houldu, led by the Sea Riders and the Eldarendar. The agents are greater than they, and take them all captive. Holding them in their scientific hells, the agents carry on dehumanizing experiments upon not only the Sea Riders, but the Heir as well. And you wonder why Eldarendar hates Men, the hateful Morku. When he obtains the last Ring, he will unleash the Wrath of Eldarendar upon the world of Men. Activating his imagination, Shadow breaches the barrier, laying bare Fairyland to the ravages of technology. Though the Elves and the fay-creatures put up a terrible fight, the power of Men is greater than they. TO KILL THE WORLD!
