In addition to writing up the Sugar Beet, they featured the AML's annual meeting in the 24-Seven spread: Brace yourselves, Mormon writing community. It's the annual meeting of the Association for Mormon Letters, WALKING THE CULTURAL TIGHTROPE: MORMON WRITERS AND THEIR AUDIENCES. Mormon writers are getting more introspective of late, and that's evident in the titles of some of the lectures at this one-day symposium: "Are Mormon Audiences Naive, or are They Making Choices? Do They Need to Be Educated? If So, How?" Others are: "_Saturday's Warrior_: Satisfying the Popular Market" (Deseret Books should be there in full force), "Serpents in Our Midst: What _Brigham City_ Tells Us About Ourselves," "Mormoniad: The Book of Mormon as Proto-Epic," "Stuck Somewhere Before the Golden Age: The Two Mormon Science Fiction Markets," and my favorite, "Meanings and Inferences of LDS Missionary Clothes Burning." And no, you don't need to be Mormon to attend. Walking the Cultural Tightrope: Mormon Writers and Their Audiences @ The Gore Auditorium, Westminster College, 1700 S. 1300 E., 8:30 a.m. - 8 p.m. To top off this interesting AML-overlapping issue, Mormon journalist Carolyn Campbell has the cover story: "Lesbian Legalities: House Bill 103 Punishes the Children of Same-Sex Partners." Carolyn spoke at the AML's last writers' conference and will be giving a presentation at the AML meeting tomorrow titled "Strong Enough to Face the Dark." - -- AML-List, a mailing list for the discussion of Mormon literature ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 08:26:52 -0800 From: "Susan Malmrose" Subject: Re: [AML] Lime Jello and Cultural Imperialism OK, this is entirely off topic, but I'm dying to know. Not being all that familiar with Mormon culture, are you telling me that people make Jello with vegetables in it? And this is/was common? Or are you talking about something my mom makes every Thanksgiving--Jello with blueberries, raspberries, bananas and marshmellows? :) Susan - -- AML-List, a mailing list for the discussion of Mormon literature ------------------------------ End of aml-list-digest V1 #631 ******************************
