Rowling did come up with some new "words" in the course of her writing, and I would be curious about how she dreamed them up.TMWHickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099277984216556857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-75945896743522930192011-05-31T11:51:20.493-04:002011-05-31T11:51:20.493-04:00Everyone loves to analyze books that make millions...Everyone loves to analyze books that make millions and millions of dollars.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-23764985259217782502011-05-31T10:28:51.147-04:002011-05-31T10:28:51.147-04:00I'm so glad I dropped by.

Mind you, that sort of equals speculative fiction, doesn't it? And Margaret Atwood does it brilliantly, and without becoming a pop goddess. That's something to be admired, I think.Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-57199132463047744962011-05-31T09:18:23.015-04:002011-05-31T09:18:23.015-04:00My first thought re: Harry Potter was that only a ...My first thought re: Harry Potter was that only a tenured professor could get away with that. There are plenty of published literary analyses of good ol' HP-that's not surprising-but I think if this book is marketed to the fans, it would be a mistake. Literary jargon for the uninitiated, and for the initiated, is inherently erudite and annoying to say the least. On the other hand, marketing it this way will help sell copies, which is good news considering the state of most college presses.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961332983813359209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-49441118580105578842011-05-31T08:06:49.312-04:002011-05-31T08:06:49.312-04:00I'm not sure whether I'd buy the analysis ...I'm not sure whether I'd buy the analysis of Harry Potter.
