• W1986306995 abstract "NOTES WILLIAM MARCH'S COMPANY K: A SHORT TEXTUAL STUDY Roy S. Simmonds William March was, it seems, a writer who, whenever he took a selfcritical retrospective view of his work, was seldom wholly satisfied with what he had produced. Moreover, the initial act of creation was for him a protracted and exacting process. Clint Bolton, a New Orleans newsman who knew March well during the last two years of his life—the period during which March was writing his last novel, The Bad Seed—has recalled: He arose fairly early, breakfasted at home most mornings and either wrote or checked notes until around noon. He sometimes lunched in one of the smaller neighborhood restaurants, returned to his home and worked again until around five. He dined early and most times at an inexpensive place. From about seven until a little before ten he would go over the day's written production. This is what I eventually called his polishing time because March, the writer, was deeply concerned with the precise word, the precise phrase. Reviewing his day's output was a creative act for him. . . . Once he told me that sometimes I will just sit and look at a sentence for half an hour before I feel I have used the right word at the right time. . . . That he wrote easily and well and consistently is true but his own nightly reexamination of the work he had done that day (sometimes this carried over to the next morning) was a rigid discipline and his own content with what he wrote was only complete when he was sure in himself that each word, sentence and paragraph had passed his own severe and self-imposed standards.' This process of re-examination of work completed was sometimes continued even long after the work itself had been published. Those of his short stories which originally appeared in magazines were revised for book publication in The Little Wife and Other Stories (1935) and Some Like Them Short (1939). In some instances, the stories were yet again revised for the edition of the collected stories, Trial Bafonce, in 1945. When March died in 1954, there were found among his papers the reworkings of many of the fables he had published during the Forties in various magazines and newspapers. March's first book, Company K (1933), had its genesis in the war 106Notes letter diary he wrote to his older sister Margaret while he was serving with the Marines in France in 1918, and in the small collections of vignettes and one short story, The Dappled Fawn, he published in magazines during the years 1930 to 1932. Company K is not in the strictest sense a novel, but a series of essentially self-contained vignettes narrated in the first person by one hundred and thirteen different characters. At a first glance, it is the fragmentary aspect of the book which strikes one most forcibly. The vignettes, though self-contained, are however presented in a more or less chronological sequence and the whole structure of the book is further strengthened by the interlacing of numerous recurring narrative and philosophical themes. At the time of the book's publication, many reviewers referred to the technique March had employed to tell his story. A few of them were disturbed by it, but the majority, whatever their ultimate opinion as to its effectiveness or its failure, heralded it as an innovation. Forty-four of the one hundred and thirteen vignettes were printed in magazines prior to the book's publication. For the interested student wishing to trace and examine the pattern of the author's creative processes, a comparison of the book text with these magazine texts will afford some insight into the manner in which March altered and reordered his material—not always, it must be acknowledged, wholly successfully—for the purpose of integrating that material into the overall structure and temporal progression of the book. The magazine collections retain a narrative and/or thematic design of their own, quite separate from that of Company K. The most explicit of these magazine collections is undoubtedly Nine Prisoners, which appeared in the December 1931 issue of The Forum. Nine Prisoners..." @default.
