The Philip Roth Society, a new organization devoted to the study and the
appreciation of the writings of Philip Roth, will soon inaugurate a
newsletter, and it's looking for individuals interested in contributing.
 As this is a literary newsletter, contributions should not be long and
journal-length. Brief writings concerning Roth and his fiction, in any
way and from any approach, are welcome.

The goal of the Philip Roth Society is to encourage the exchange of
ideas and texts concerning this most significant author through
discussions, panel presentations at scholarly conferences, and journal
publications. The newsletter will be a major factor in accomplishing
this.

"Smart Kids"
(n.s. 59-60, Fall 2003)

_the minnesota review_ is planning a special issue "Smart Kids,"
guest-edited by Renny Christopher and seeks essays from "smart kids" who
entered English or other humanities fields as adults. More
specifically, this issue's focus will be the class rise education
represents. Potential contributors might discuss the experience of
working-class academics as presented in literature, contemporary media,
and/or their own lives; address issues of "smart" and how it and/or our
textually-oriented selves are constructed; or, more generally, explore
interconnections between class and education. The deadline for
submissions is 1 April 2003.
