In Defense of Long Acknowledgements

I mentioned in my BBC post below that I had a chance to debate (briefly) Ian Jack on the length of my acknowledgements in WE'RE IN TROUBLE. And it's true: I have four pages of acknowledgements. This is unusual in the world of literary fiction, which I knew when I wrote the list. But apart from a couple of snarky comments in otherwise positive reviews of the book, the list itself didn't get much comment, upon the book's release.

Then, prior to the announcement of the GRANTA Best Young American Novelists list, Ian Jack wrote an introduction to an issue of GRANTA in which he spent two and a half of his own pages questioning the wisdom of my four pages. He kept me anonymous, since the context of the introduction was that Ian was reading contenders for the final BOYAN2 list. But I'd seen the intro already, and was torn between excitement (I'm under consideration!) and annoyance (someone else is making fun of MFA programs, yee-ha). Then, last month, part of Ian's introduction was reprinted in HARPER's. That Ian Jack, he gets around.

I want to stress that Ian and I have spoken about this, and Ian insists his questioning has all been done in the spirit of fun and banter--as was our radio appearance. And I do believe it's true. But all the same, I find myself in the position, now, of having to defend my acknowledgements.

Let me see if I can sum up Ian's objections:

1) Long acknowledgements devalue a literary work, calling into question the originality of the writing (especially if many of the people thanked are one's valued classmates in an MFA program).

2) Maybe long acknowledgements are in fact a sign of the author's ego--only a writer convinced of the magnificence of his prose would thank so very many people for making such a glorious thing possible.

3) He doesn't understand MFA programs and what they do.

I can't argue point number two--I have an ego, but I don't believe I have THAT much of an ego; then again, can one really judge one's own ego? I'll leave that for anonymous posters from Georgia to decide. But as for the rest--

I really don't want to discount Ian's points. He has a right to his opinions, certainly, and also he has a critic's right to make whatever he wishes of the material released between the covers of any book. Once I write something and release it into the world, I cease to have control over it. So be it; if I can accept that fact about my fiction, then I also have to accept it about ancillary material.

But I can say I had none of this in mind when I wrote my acknowledgements. I composed my book during a particularly dark time in my life; in 1999 I lost my first wife, Joellen Thomas (to whom the book is dedicated) to cancer, and I wrote all of WE'RE IN TROUBLE in the years thereafter. In order to do that I went back to school--I attended Ohio State's very fine MFA program from 2001-2004. Prior to Joellen's death it's fair to say my life was difficult, in particular my childhood. I don't say all this to beg for sympathy--I truly don't. Rather I want to offer it as context; I can look back over my past and see any number of times when I needed the help of others in order to keep moving forward, to maintain my ambitions, to put words on the page. I think it's fair to say I could not have gotten where I am now without the support and kindness of lots and lots of people.

I'm also bothered, as so many others are, by the general disdain in American society for people who pursue intellectual or artistic goals. Writers aren't valued here they way they are in, for instance, France. Much of my time as an adult, writing, has been spent justifying myself to people, or hearing dire stories about how so few "make it," and how it's, say, financially irresponsible to pursue the path I was pursuing.

So when I learned that my book was going to be published, I felt I owed a debt to those who encouraged me along the way. I also thought that, publishing being what it is, I might never have another opportunity to thank the people who helped me along--one book is no guarantee of another. I also thought I might poke at the notion that writers do what they do alone--I don't feel as though I'm the lonely, tortured, friendless novelist working under a single harsh light in his garret. And yes, I wanted to acknowledge the help I got at both graduate writing programs I've attended--Ohio State's, and also the M.A. program at Miami of Ohio, where I both learned a lot and met Joellen.

So, yeah, the acknowledgements got excessive. I really didn't have to thank the coffee shops where I did a lot of my writing. But after a while making that list of names got to be fun. Why NOT thank Anton at Cafe Apropos? He thought it was great I was working on my book in his shop, and chatted with me about it all the time. Why NOT thank the teachers in high school who could have dissuaded me from writing my dumb fantasy novels? Denise Beck, I salute you! Why not? A dream of mine, an unlikely one, had come true. Why not say thanks to the people who didn't shake their heads and call me crazy, while I was having it? At the end I called it what it was--the first line of the acknowledgements asks readers to forgive me an "indulgence." I figured (and not, I think, unreasonably) that someone not in the mood could simply not read the names.

So that's all I thought I was doing. In a later post I'll write about MFA programs, and the bad (and infuriating) rap they get.

In the meantime I'll let you know that I plan to acknowledge Ian Jack in my next book...

As someone who made the list, can I just say how much it meant? Maybe Ian doesn't know how much it means to the people you remembered. Wait. Ian Jack, were you never thanked in someone else's book? Is that what this is all about? Chris, hurry up on the next book so Ian can be THANKED, for crying out loud. He's suffering over there.

James said...

I'd like to thank Ian Jack myself for creating and inspiring all this entertaining reading. And also the members of my workshop and Jen Barber from Fair Trade coffee in Madison, WI.

I'll be following your example when my book comes out. I thought your acknowledgements pages were moving, and so in keeping with the stories.

Günter said...

All I could think when I read your acknowledgments was that you'd neglected to include the paragraph about my commitment to the project, my unwavering faith in your writing, my uncanny creative insight, etc. How could you have forgotten Günter?

Good god. What would this world be like if we didn't thank people who helped us through life? Christ, Ian. And now, Chris, I would like to thank YOU, on this day of my 3 year wedding anniversary, for introducing me to the most wonderful woman I've ever met. You have touched my life in so many ways. You are an amazing human being. Again, thank you.

Anonymous said...

I agree with you all the way. The only complaint I'll add is that it's too bad Ian Jack wasn't in a position at the time to name you and your book -- such publicity, as you know, can't be bought. Nothing Jack said, I note, would have prevented anyone from making a decision to buy the book.

It's such an odd discussion, anyway. Nonfiction authors, after all, spend all their time deathly afraid that their acknowledgements are too short. Here's what I think you should do: start a separate web site called www.acknowledgeianjack.com (zippier yet, www.thankjack.com) in which you encourage every writer you know and all those you don't to include Ian Jack in their own acknowledgements. Now THAT would be funny.

Hi Christopher, just wanted to say hello and thanks for those amazing stories. Discovered your work via Granta then picked up your book whilst on holiday in Stockholm. Amazing stuff, so full of power, yet it's all done in understated way.

Really looking forward to a full length novel from you, though not sure that my nerves will take it!

I am new to this spot. I found loads of useful information here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you wish to know how to lose 10 pounds in a week, you are likely not seeing for a general diet and work out plan. You can lose weight with a common diet and work out plan, However this demands a lot of time doing intensive cardio exercises and sticking to a strict diet. Here I will outline the exact steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a week.

1. Stay away from all deep-fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast every day. (this accelerates up your metabolism)
3. Eat limited portions (stop taking when you are full)
4. Rather than taking 3 large a meals a day, consume 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod your habbit of eating after 9 P.M.. Its good to eat before 9 P.M. so that our body gets proper time to burn calories before sleep.
6. Proper sleep is necessary everyday.. Not having enough sleep has been verified to be a leading factor to the body storing excess fat.
7. Utilize a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of excessive weight stored close to the tummy area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I advice you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those individuals who need to burn fat quickly, avoid intoxicant.

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I have recently decided to find a good manufacturer of e-cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for normal smokes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry.

I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

In about a month's time I had made a tolerable proficiency in their language, and was able to answer most of the King's questions, when I had the honor to attend him. His Majesty discovered not the least curiosity to inquire into the laws, government, history, religion, or manners of the countries where I had been, but confined his questions to the state of mathematics, and received the account I gave him with great contempt and indifference, though often roused by his flapper on each side.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed in my HCL laptop. Last month i was encrypting my external hard disk with "bit locker drive encryption". It started normally, but suddenly after 49%, it stuck, displaying an error: "An error occurred. This disk has one or more errors, run chkdsk/r, if the error persist this may be indicative of a hardware fault..." I then thought to decrypt my data back and to disable the protection. When I tried doing this, after some time my PC hanged and the operation got aborted. When I restarted my system, i found that the disk is not being detected. It is not shown in "computer", although the disk lights were on. I tried running the hard disk in "Ubuntu OS", it works there, but all my data is encrypted. My hard disk is absolutely fine and OK. There is no problem with hardware and no virus is there in my PC as well. What to do now? How can i get my data back and how can i decrypt my harddisk? Please help, since this data worths me a lot. The capacity of my hard disk is 250GB and its a Western Digital brand. Thanks, Niks.

Of course, for both genders, clothes and style choices may be quite as complex, and there are lots of'trendy'items which can easily become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they often times see people travelling in 70s flames? On the other side, men's fashion has a few choice items which can exist forever - which man is going to keep an eye out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance?

'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress yourself in a classic yet lavish way, acting in a sophisticated approach and placing value on appearance. This development for nearly'over-the-top'common style for men is apparent from events like the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages dress yourself in significantly Victorian-style clothing and take to the roads on vintage bikes - with many of the men wearing impressive mustaches! This is only one of several examples of evidence presenting the revival of such types. Additionally, there are numerous blogs on the web which give attention to gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, although specific issues with classic men's fashion could be brought back as new trends, the simple garments which they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.
