Gail Godwin's message: to those who want wholeness
Article Abstract:
The most good stories show that it is the character's personality that creates the action of the story, whether the person is real or fictional, and it is not necessary to know what is bound to happen, as the story folds naturally as the author discovers something from the story. Gail Godwin successfully portrays the synthesis of both body and spirit in his message, to those who want wholeness.

Article Abstract:
An introduction to Lewis Nordan's short story cycle Music of the Swamp and his subsequent novel Wolf Whistle are two excellent examples of the blues aesthetic work in fiction by a non- African southern writer. In ' Music of the Swamp', the image of Smith as a cultural icon becomes significant in the imagination of the narrator, who grieves over his own perceived guilt in her untimely death.
