A .1 A ? rms: Available in Rm. 311-B SJSC professor t writes 'bookazine' A "bookazine," which is a cross between a book and a magazine, has >een written by Matthew J. Bruccoli, a USC English professor. The "bookazine," entitled "Pages," was published last month by Gale Research Co. of Detroit, Mich. It is hardbound as a permanent volume ike a book, but the articles are written and displayed in magazine style, vith plenty of large photos and art work. "The general reader has been quarantined from the world of books," ?aid Bruccoli. "He's allowed to buy books, but nobody has been concerned with satisfying his appetite for information about books?how 0 Dooksare written, how authors make a living and what are the realities )f authorship." "PAGES WAS creatcd to give literature back to its readers," says 3ruccoli, who's serving as editorial director of the new publication. "All the journals devoted to literature are scholarly, technical or rade journals. To my knowledge until now there hasn't been a journal >n writing for the general reader." "Pages" will be published in annual volumes and will include articles n which authors, publishers, collectors, librarians, agents, editors and :r*hnlar?; Hismisc thfir nrnfoccinn In the first 304-page issue, James Dickey reveals what goes on in his g nind as he plans two interconnected novels, Joe Gores explains what's nvolved in writing a "Kojak" script for TV and Larry McMurtry shares he agony of young writers. John Baker tells how paperback publishers buy million-dollar ties, ind science fiction writer Hay Bradbury and screen writer William F. Molan tell how professional writers earn a living. Also in the first issue of "Pages" is a previously unpublished slang ibretto for "Carmen" by humorist Ring Lardner and excerpts from the iiary of John Shaw Billings, the first managing editor of "Life" Hpcnrihino tho aanniTind r^avc nrinr fn nnKlinnfinn nf fUn fi viv,uv?

LITERARY CRITIC Malcolm Cowley assesses the career of Erskine ^ Caldwell, Wallace Markfield provides a humorous look at his life as Ariter-in-residence at an unnamed college, and Alden Whitman inerviews "Catch-22" author Joseph Heller. Irwin Glusker, former art director of "American Heritage," 'Horizon," and "Life" magazines, designed "Pages", and Joan Paterson Kerr, former picture editor of "American Heritage" and 'Life", is picture editor and C.E. Frazer Clark, Jr. is managing editor. Bruccoli sees "Pages" as a sort of "portable humanities college." "I'd like to see the study of literature extended beyond the classroom," he says. "Literature has been taken over by the professors, but it's too important to be left with the professors. It belongs to the readers." i "CAROLINA CAKES" thanks the following participating merchants: /ilimivii Txliiic i - VWV A ?
