Extractions: October 8-10, 1991 W.P. Kinsella W.P. Kinsella has published 15 books and over 200 short stories, but he is best known for his award-winning novel Shoeless Joe, which was made into the highly praised film Field of Dreams . The New York Times has said that his work "defines a world in which magic and reality combine to make us laugh and think about the perceptions we take for granted." His life, like his fiction, seems to have an element of magic to it. Kinsella writes primarily about baseball ( The Thrill of the Grass and The Iowa Baseball Confederacy ) and Indians ( The Moccasin Telegraph and The Fencepost Chronicle ), but he is quick to point out that he is neither an Indian nor a baseball player. He grew up in Canada, an only child, in almost total isolation on a farm in Northern Alberta. He did not attend school until fifth grade, studying at home by correspondence. Having no playmates, he created fictional friends and wrote about them from age six on. He worked at a series of jobs-clerk, insurance investigator, restaurateuruntil he eventually went back to school and received a BA. in Creative Writing at age 39. Shortly before his forty-second birthday his first book, Dance Me Outside , was published. At the age of 45, with the publication of

Edmonton was founded in 1795 when a Hudson's Bay Company Trading Post was established with the construction of Fort Edmonton. John Rowand, a fur trader for the North West Company, arrived in Edmonton in 1804 and became respected and accepted as a leader by the Plains Indians, managing Edmonton's fur trade with the Cree and Blackfoot in Edmonton for about 30 years. Fort Edmonton became a local economic centre, the major stopping point before pioneers headed up north or farther west.

Extractions: Coming Soon... W. P. Kinsella Canadian author W. P. Kinsella is somewhat of a late bloomer. Born in 1935 on a farm in Northern Alberta, Kinsella didn't receive his B.A. in creative writing until the age of 39. Before that he held a series of odd jobs, including working as a taxi driver, selling insurance, and managing a restaurant. He began writing short fiction at the age of 17 but didn't see public success until the publication of 1979's Dance Me Outside . He became a sensation with 1982's Shoeless Joe, a novel about an Iowa man who digs up his cornfield in order to build a baseball park. The novel, an elaboration of his short story, "Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa," won the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship and was made into the incredibly popular film Field of Dreams (1989). Kinsella greatly admired the film, although his other experiences with Hollywood have been less than positive. Many of Kinsella's works focus on baseball, the game he loves and grew up watching. Other works of his include The Thrill of the Grass The Iowa Baseball Confederacy (1996), and

Miss Hobbema Pageant Red Wolf Red Wolf This collection of short stories includes "Evangeline's Mother," in which Henry Vold must cope with, and is changed by, his teenaged daughter's sexually precocious friend; and "Elvis Bound," in which the singer disrupts the love life of a ballplayer and his wife. Shoeless Joe W. P. Kinsella plays with both myth and fantasy in his lyrical novel, which was adapted into the enormously popular movie, Field of Dreams. It begins with the magic of a godlike voice in a cornfield, and ends with the magic of a son playing catch with the ghost of his father. In Kinsella's hands, it's all about as simple, and complex, as the object of baseball itself: coming home. Like Ring Lardner and Bernard Malamud before him, Kinsella spins baseball as backdrop and metaphor, and, like his predecessors, uses the game to tell us a little something more about who we are and what we need.

Extractions: Sowing Fields of Dreams With his late twentieth century fables, unruly hair, and handlebar moustache, W.P. (William Patrick) Kinsella ranks as one of Canadas more colourful and successful novelists. The author of some two dozen books, Kinsella is best known as a Canadian who writes with poignancy about Americas national pastime baseball. The heartening Shoeless Joe (1982) won the prestigious Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship and was turned into the smash 20th Century Fox movie, Field of Dreams (1989), starring Kevin Costner. The movie which received three Academy Award nominations earned Kinsella international fame. Born on May 24, 1935, Kinsella has also released several amusing books largely based on a fictitious native Canadian reserve in Alberta and, with his ex-wife, Ann Knight, two collections of poetry. As an only child (who didnt attend school until the age of 10), Kinsella walked his own field of dreams on his parents bush farm outside Edmonton, telling stories to his cats. He worked through a variety of jobs (selling ads for the Yellow Pages, driving taxis, running his own pizzeria) before enrolling, at the age of 35, in Creative Writing at the University of Victoria in 1970. Kinsella sold his pieces regularly to magazines before, in 1977, publishing his first book of short stories

W. P. Kinsella By KERRY DIOTTE Edmonton Sun. INSPIRING CHARACTER Edmontonborn author wp kinsella ain t yer stereotypical highfalutin literary type. http://www.canoe.ca/JamBooksFeatures/kinsella_wp.html
Extractions: Kinsella still smiles today at the thought of Field of Dreams, which is based on his story Shoeless Joe Comes to Iowa. "Robinson kept in touch with me all through the filming," he remembers. "I didn't have much input into it. He said we'd have to telescope time - cut out all these characters because there wasn't time for them in an hour-and-forty-minute movie. Well, when I read the screenplay I had tears in my eyes. I said, 'Gosh, this is my own work that's doing this to me.' I don't see how they could have done a better job."
Extractions: James Patterson - Several years ago, one of his nursery rhyme titles caught my eye. I read it and enjoyed it, so I read the others. I went back and read his older books, and really liked those. I think The Thomas Berryman Affair is very good, and if you can find an early hard cover edition of The Jericho Covenant , read it. He takes a good story and puts a very creative presentation. So, why does Patterson make the Hall of Shame? Well, I noticed that a couple of his early books started showing up as paperbacks with new nursery rhyme titles. For instance, The Jericho Covenant was released as See How They Run . That was bad, but what earned him charter membership in my Hall of Shame is that he took his 1980 book Virgin , updated some of the environmental references, such as the posters on the teenager's walls are now N*SYNC instead of Duran Duran, and then has the nerve to release this so-called update as a hardcover with a new title, The Cradle Will Rock And now, the newest inductee
