Klipsun Magazine, 2001, Volume 31, Issue 05 - June

Over the past few years, Klipsun has been a collection of assorted stories. For this issue, the editorial staff decided to return to a format of categories in order to introduce a more magazine-focused style. We wanted to inspire the staff writers to seek out meaningful stories for our readers. We encouraged them to find issues that affect people in our community, and stories that would be touching and compelling. Our goal for Klipsun is to appeal to every reader by providing a diverse collection of stories, threaded together in uniting themes. We are leading this edition with three issue stories: the railroad blockades in Bellingham, transi­tional housing for the homeless and the James LaVine expulsion case. We hope to set a precedent for future editions where Klipsun writers tackle important local stories that concern not only Western students, but the Bellingham and Whatcom County communities beyond. We always welcome feedback from our readers.https://cedar.wwu.edu/klipsun_magazine/1208/thumbnail.jp

Though the Stars Walk Backwards

My investigation involves furthering my writing skills and comprehension by creating an anthology of short stories. This anthology is comprised of stories written in a variety of genres and styles, each with a unique theme and purpose. My underlying desire for this work as a whole is to attract readers of all kinds, and then expose them to styles of writing that they were previously unfamiliar with. I plan to achieve this not only by including a diverse amount of content, but also by taking an unconventional approach to genre styles and conventions. In my work, I aim to combine elements from literary sub-groups that are normally kept distinct. It is my goal to use aspects of literary fiction to add depth to stories that are told using the tropes of genre, as well as use characteristics that are traditionally reserved for genre fiction to add a more familiar and accessible layer to the imposing style of literary fiction. I hope that at its completion, this anthology will promote reading even in those who pride themselves in being unlikely to do so, and that it will leave its readers with a deeper appreciation of the subject than they came with

The local and the global: Gina Nahai and the taking up of serpents and stereotypes

Region, home and transnational migration are explored in terms of the transcultural complexities that reverberate through Iranian American Gina Nahai's Sunday's Silence. Nahai grapples with stereotypes that attach to the Holiness churches in the east Tennessee region of Appalachia. This essay argues that the novel's politics rest on the intersubjectivity of strangers as bound into a metaphysics of desire. It is through this paradigm that Nahai writes against the reductive association of “minority” literature with discrete “national” models and through which she explores the local and the regional in a culturally complex narrative about the crisis of alterity
