Book
The ridge
Overview: In an isolated stretch of eastern Kentucky, on a hilltop known as Blade Ridge, stands a lighthouse that illuminates nothing but the surrounding woods. For years the lighthouse has been considered no more than an eccentric local landmark-until its builder is found dead at the top of the light, and his belongings reveal a troubling local history. For deputy sheriff Kevin Kimble, the lighthouse-keeper's death is disturbing and personal. Years ago, Kimble was shot while on duty. Somehow the death suggests a connection between the lighthouse and the most terrifying moment of his life. Audrey Clark is in the midst of moving her large-cat sanctuary onto land adjacent to the lighthouse. Sixty-seven tigers, lions, leopards, and one legendary black panther are about to have a new home there. Her husband, the sanctuary's founder, died scouting the new property, and Audrey is determined to see his vision through. As strange occurrences multiply at the Ridge, the animals grow ever more restless, and Kimble and Audrey try to understand what evil forces are moving through this ancient landscape, just past the divide between dark and light.

Between Parentheses: The Poetics of Irrelevance in Virginia Woolf’s Experimental Fiction
The understanding and appreciation of Virginia Woolf’s modernist fiction demands careful attention, not only for the obvious complexity of its experimental form but also for the apparent simplicity of certain typographical and stylistic devices. Among these is the use of parenthetical expressions, consisting of explanatory or qualifying remarks inserted into a passage and usually marked off by brackets, dashes, or commas. Generally speaking, the main functions fulfilled by parentheticals have been examined and classified by Woolf scholars. What has received less critical attention, however, is the intrinsic nature of parenthetical constructions and the subtle, multifaceted implications of their actual functioning within the overall economy of every single novel. The purpose of this paper is to address a similar question, beginning with a preliminary delimitation of the scope of the analysis. Firstly, among the different types of the so-called ‘parenthetical expressions’ only the explicit use of parentheses (in the form of round or square brackets) will be assumed as a distinctive feature in order to identify a specific category of stylistic and narrative devices. Secondly, and quite obviously, the novel under consideration will be, in particular, To the Lighthouse (1927), inasmuch as it provides the most striking examples of the disruptive potential contained in Woolf’s parenthetical writing. A good point of departure for such an analysis, however, can be found in Jacob’s Room (1922), Woolf’s first experimental novel, which shows a long and compound sentence, inserted between brackets, significantly placed in the opening page of the book.

Dialogic multivoicedness in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse
Virginia Woolf constructs multi-voiced world with interdependent beings in her novels. Her fiction demonstrates her deep-seated preoccupation with pluralism in essence of human and non-human relationships. To the Lighthouse (1927) is a novel made out of dialogic confrontations between oppositional forces. This novel mainly shows Woolf’s philosophy of life which is devoid of solipsistic and close-ended point of view and is replete with trans-situational values and dialogic intersections. The interconnected world in this novel is mirrored in the intertwined minds of the characters through stream of consciousness, multilateral depiction of confrontation between self and other, and various representation of time. The present paper aims to investigate variant aspects of interrelations between different forces in mentioned novel in the light of Mikhail Bakhtin’s views on dialogism and polyvocality. This paper also argues that dialogic relations in To the Lighthouse are not limited to the human world and include non-human world as well.
