		The genre is so taken for granted that the western novel's centennial has passed with hardly any fanfare, and little seems planned for the 100th birthday of the film western.
		One essay in that collection argues that American Indians were "erased" from the novel's framework to permit an uncluttered working out of white notions of manhood, which nonetheless borrowed from Indian "savagery." Another essay discusses the "queer frontier" by analyzing such homophilic elements as the narrator's infatuation with the hero.

		The novel 'turns on a double paradox' (Hillis Miller), and 'addresses itself simultaneously to Europe's exploitation of Africa, the primeval human situation, an archaic aspect of the mind's structure and a condition of moral baseness' (Party).
		Instead, he suggests that Conrad's novels should be read for their compellingly prescient vision of a postnational world under the sway of global capitalism.
		By foregrounding less familiar novels such as Chance and the neglected Suspense, she emphasises the range and continuity of Conrad's concerns, showing that his later discussions of gender and genre often originate in the period of the 'great' sea tales.

Wilcox and his wife Elizabeth.
		Johannes Reimers, for example, called the novel "a symhony-inspired by the most fundamental consciousness, which lives far back in-yes, beyond-man's civilization [sounding] the voice of the universe[and] the all-saving call from the fundamental to human souls."

	StarTrekConnections -- Star Trek Lives!
		For a time, Bantam allowed fans to submit ST novels, and though many were successful, for some reason they abandoned that policy and went to allowing only established professional writers to supply novels.
		I believe the reason was the intense popularity of these novels and the deep seated urge by fans of the show to add in their own vision of where the ST story should go.
		However, those novels wouldn't exist if Jean hadn't picked up a copy of Star Trek Lives!, seen that fandom wasn't dead, and started writing her own ST fanfic until she finally defined some story ideas that would fit Paramount's strictures.

		The other scene which will haunt you long after it is over is where Lost Eagle stares tearfully into space as he holds a worthless trinket given to him by the U.S. government in exchange for his giving up his land and, more symbolically, his entire way of life and history.
		The best way that I can explain how good Centennial is to put it this way: if the first few hours were chopped out and released as a movie the same year as Dances With Wolves, Centennial would have easily won the Academy award for Best Picture.

		His character of Montgomery, Moreau's assistant and a crucial part of the novel, was believable enough, but he lacked the presence of his true star persona.
