Topic: Fabulist

	Omnidawn
		With Fabulist and New Wave Fabulist stories by 44 Literary and Genre authors, this anthology follows in the footsteps of Conjunctions 39 (from Bard College, New York), the Fall 2002 issue, which focused on New Wave Fabulist writers.
		They used the term “new wave fabulists,” described thus: “For two decades, a small group of innovative writers rooted in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror have been simultaneously exploring and erasing the boundaries of those genres by creating fiction of remarkable depth and power.” The term came with a number of disadvantages.
		Such an extension of the word “fabulist” has the advantage of drawing on a term that is associated with quality literature (though only a portion of it is considered literary) and that is generally placed in the general fiction area of bookstores.

	washingtonpost.com: Stephen Glass's Novel, More Than Half Empty
		Yet "The Fabulist" is not much of a novel, in any sense of the phrase.
		For starters, its plot is not the stuff of fiction: It is the barely adorned saga of a fledgling Washington reporter's misadventures with the truth and the protracted fallout from the discovery of his misdeeds.
		In short, the thin insights in "The Fabulist" suggest an uglier (and ongoing) motivation behind Glass's career than the simple compulsion to lie: a thoroughgoing, unearned contempt for the numberless people he plays for suckers -- not merely editors and colleagues, but readers, journalistic subjects and the bit players who populate the novel's social background.

	John J. Miller on The Fabulist on National Review Online
		This was the question I posed to NRO readers in a piece last week, after the publisher sent me a "review copy" I had not requested.
		We could have used The Fabulist up there, the place had a wood stove and an outhouse!" An e-mailer from Cambridge, Mass., invoked the famous quip from Max Reger: "I am sitting in the smallest room of my house.
		I was most impressed by a note from an actual librarian — a quiet guardian of civilization — who offered this advice: "You should donate the copy to your local public library, and ask them to cancel their order for the book.

	Forbes.com - Magazine Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Fabulist (Simon and Schuster, $24) is a novelized apologia from Glass, the young writer who in 1998 was found to have fictionalized large chunks of his journalism for The New Republic and other prestigious magazines.
		Glass was exposed after Forbes.com tried to follow up on one of his pieces and was unable to verify the supposed facts.
		The Fabulist thus far has failed to vault onto the best-seller lists, so it looks like Glass may have to resign himself to being a lawyer.

	TCS Daily - Absolutely Fabulist
		Stephen Glass was the young New Republic writer who was fired in 1998 when he was discovered to have fabricated all or parts of dozens of his articles.
		If you read his new novel, The Fabulist you'll become familiar with another Stephen Glass, the fictional narrator who was fired from his job at the fictional Washington Weekly for the same offense.
		The Fabulist is full of lots of these sorts of juicy, weird details.

	The Banality of Fictions by Benjamin Wallace-Wells - Policy Review, No. 120 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The book’s climax comes at a Virginia animal hospital where Glass has come to join his true love, who is there because her dog’s penis has swollen to unnatural proportions.
		Urban yuppies writing for urban yuppies, they recapitulate the pieties of their group: West Virginians are uneducated hicks, or bond traders are worshipful, silly, and sheep-like, Greenspan their shepherd.
		Jonathan Chait, a colleague and friend of Glass’s at the New Republic, wrote in a review of The Fabulist that the novel, with its flat characters and outlandish detail, was not stylistically distinguishable from the invented magazine stories Glass wrote five years ago as nonfiction.

	Portland Mercury - Books - The Fabulist: A Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As a work of fiction, The Fabulist is a piece of crap.
		During one completely incongruous and pointless aside about a summer job he held (which comes in the midst of a story about lying to his parents after getting an F on an Organic Chemistry test--go figure), he congratulates himself on being able to find a rat's G-spot.
		Rather, it is the circumstances which led to its production--Glass' irrepressible need to explain himself in an effort to regain acceptance--that we can learn from.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: The Fabulist, by Stephen Glass, Hardcover
		In the end, The Fabulist is as much about family, friendship, religion, and love -- about getting through somehow, even when it seems impossible -- as it is about reality and fantasy.
		At once hilarious and harrowing, The Fabulist is one of the year's most provocative novels.
		The Fabulist is absolutely one of the most hysterical books I have read.

	Why Stephen Ambrose's plagiarism matters. - By David Plotz - Slate Magazine
		There is surprisingly little overlap between plagiarists and fabulists.
		Essentially, fabulists can't find anything in the real world that equals their imagination.
		They steal because there is too much other writing around that tempts them—what they see around them is more interesting than what they write themselves.

	John J. Miller on Stephen Glass & The Fabulist on National Review Online
		He was fired (of course) and his offenses are only now being overshadowed by those of Jayson Blair at the New York Times.
		As the press release from Simon and Schuster states, "The Fabulist is a novel inspired by Glass's own story, with a narrator who shares his name.
		Yet it was the first idea to pop into my mind when I held The Fabulist in my hands.

		And while the original incident provoked outrage, especially in Washington, The Fabulist is a mostly an empty exercise, devoid of strong characters, compelling action, or, finally, a reason to exist.
		The Fabulist is populated with characters seemingly pulled from the scrap heap of numerous failed sitcoms: the Egotistical Boss, the Girlfriend Who Doesn't Understand, the Pushy Older Jewish Lady with a Single Granddaughter, and the Comically Mysterious Co-workers.
		The central character, the only hero we are offered, never seems to understand who he is. He lies, those lies get him in trouble, he searches for an explanation or redemption for his actions, but neither he nor we ever understand what is to be gained from it all.

	Poynter Online - The Nonfiction Fabulist
		The author changed the name of the national magazine to The Washington Weekly, but didn't bother to change the name of the prevaricator (Glass is, after all, wonderfully laden with the symbolism of fragility and transparency).
		Perhaps it is, as you say, the loss of belief in absolute truths, but I think it's just the age-old difference between the European engaged writer (who even when he's not engaged politically is, at least, spiritually; even when he doesn't have an absolute truth, he's still searching for one) versus the American narcissist.
		And it doesn't matter if the writer is trying to produce fiction or nonfiction: It was all about Stephen Glass when he was writing for The New Republic and it's still all about Stephen Glass when he writes a novel.

		Someone known for telling fables is a fabulist.

		If you've ever wondered what the consequences could be for lying in a profession like journalism, (wherein honesty and integrity are of utmost value), then you should definitely find some time between those interviews and take a break off of writing, to read the story of Stephen Glass's sudden sink.
		In this novel, appropriately entitled The Fabulist: A Novel of an Ignominious Fall, the Rise to Infamy, and Life After Both, Glass offers a detailed description of his career as a journalist while it lasted, and how his dream come true rapidly became a real-life nightmare.
		He tells the story of his series of unfortunate events very well, partly because he has lived it, but mostly because he's a spectacular sensationalist.

	CSIndy: A fabulist's last hurrah (November 20, 2003)
		A big deal given the gray lady's stature as "the paper of record," but hardly a match for the fiction of Glass who fabricated people, companies and conventions for a staff of savvy writers who lapped it up with a spoon.
		Shattered Glass starts as a portrait of the fabulist as a journalistic rock star, played as a self-effacing nebbish by Hayden Christensen.
		But instead of letting Glass get buried, Simon and Schuster awarded him a book deal for his mea culpa novel, The Fabulist, which was released to critical dismay this spring.
