• W2889740906 abstract "The thesis contains a creative text, along with a poetics of the work.The Ghost of Your Father is the story of unusual childhood adventures in the smallvillage of Ramsbottom, Lancashire, with chapters also dedicated to exploring theforests, mountains, rivers and family members of Trebija, Yugoslavia, during the longsummer holidays of the 1980s. Remic’s father, Nikolas, was a child of Yugoslavia,enlisted in the army at the age of seventeen and captured by Germans during WWII.He subsequently escaped from a POW camp, was rescued by US troops, and broughtto the UK where he joined the RAF and met the author’s mother, Sally, a Liverpudlianworking in the NAAFI.The thesis is a childhood memoir of clashing worlds: village life in Lancashire,contrasted with village life in Trebija, Yugoslavia, and is infused with the new dawningage of the 1980s computer revolution, and the author’s conflicting desire to becomeboth an author and computer game programmer. A strange merging of country life and8-bit technology, of Tolkien fantasy novels and differing cultures and customs, the textreveals these two very different worlds, searching for linking threads, and is the sourceof what made Remic the genre novelist he became. The text explores life inRamsbottom and life in Slovenija – and presents childhood adventures in the 1980s,and those same places and faces experienced a quarter of a century later.The text contains a travel section detailing an account of the events that occurredwhen Remic returned to Slovenija to meet his long, lost, beloved Aunty Mary, takinghis children on that same voyage of discovery he experienced as a boy, and which hebelieves shaped his imagination and fired his creativity to create a genre novelistworking in the field today. Part memoir, part travelogue, part exploration and decodingof a child’s-eye view of a world filled with fantasy monsters, pixellated graphics,mountain-top escapades and small-town haunted houses, The Ghost of Your Father isa book of contrasts, of exploring imagination, creativity, ethics, and the very twistedessence of subjective memory. It is a story of a child then, and a child now, based onmemories, interviews and new experiences. It is a fictional representation of a factualpast, and a factual exploration of a fictional present. It is the truth, perhaps not as itwas, but as it might have been.The poetics is an exploration of the writing process of The Ghost of Your Father. It’s aninvestigation of why, and how, Remic decided to create this text, examiningcontextualisation, where this work sits in the field of contemporary memoir, reflectingon the process of writing the text, including how Remic was inspired and arrived atconclusions over memory, tone and research for form, and ultimately concluding withhow this project has altered Remic’s perspective of research, creative writing, and howit has informed Remic’s genre writing and creative writing as a whole." @default.
