Dick Francis
Overview The standard history of Dick Francis must mention that this Grand Master mystery writer officially began his sporting career after WW2 as an amateur jockey and retired in 1957 as the preferred jockey of the Queen Mum. In 1956 he came heart-breakingly close to winning the Grand National. Upon retirement at the age of 36 he turned his attention to writing, beginning as the racing correspondent for a British daily. He released his first mystery novel in 1962 and has since turned out about one a year. Our handy-dandy Reader's Encyclopedia, 3rd ed. informs me that Francis' novels, long popular in England, became so in the U.S. after a 1980 television series based on his 1965 novel Odds Against The latest by Francis is called Shattered ; its hero is a glass-blower. About 3 weeks after its release in September of 2000 Dick's wife Mary died of a heart attack at the couple's home in the Cayman Islands. Mary's death will obviously have a major effect on Dick's writing especially since she did a large part of the research and editing of the novels. Francis' mysteries take place against a horse racing background and I suppose that initially I shied away from his books because of this. After all, I figured, how many times can you read about some jockey who is forced by circumstances to be an amateur private eye? Luckily, however, I was wrong in my assumptions. While some of the novels (particularly the early ones) do have jockeys moonlighting as mystery solvers, many have lead characters who are involved with racing via more indirect capacities. In

Dick Francis
I think I read 'em all! When he comes out with a new one, I get it on the spot. The latest that I read was Second Wind , a nifty little story about a sports reporter who ends up fighting for his life in a hurricane. I first heard of Dick Francis when one of his stories was featured in the USAn Public Television program "Mystery." I don't know which of his stories it was, but since then I've been hooked. This is one caveat to people who've met up with Francis's stories first on the small screen: the stories can be quite freely adapted. The latest one that I saw, based on Odds Against , was such a horrible adaptation that it was practically unrecognizable.

About the Author
Bibliography
10lb Penalty
Inspired from meeting John Major at Lords last summer, Dick Francis' 36th novel combines horse racing with politics.
At eighteen, easy-going young Benedict Juliard has no stronger ambition than to ride as an amateur jockey. His father, George, driven by powerful urges towards a life of public service and politics, asks his only son to enter into a pact that neither of them will commit any act that could destroy the father's growing reputation and career. Ben agrees lightheartedly, but ten years later finds himself targeted in a vicious attack mounted by his father's increasingly violent political enemies. Through the son, the father is to be discredited and destroyed exactly as George feared.
As George makes his ambitious drive towards the Prime Ministership and occupancy of No. 10 Downing Street, Ben is plunged into a frightening morass of lies and treachery.
In practice, a 101b penalty is the maximum extra weight a winning thoroughbred is normally set to carry in a horse race.
A 101b penalty can be a killer.

There are hours and hours of silence." "Writing the words so as to make it easy to read is very hard work,... much harder than riding a horse." 1999 - "I'd soon run short of material if I wrote only about racing."
SHATTERED Written to celebrate the Queen Mother's 100th birthday and sadly may be Dick Francis' last book - his usual great read Synopsis When jockey Martin Stukely dies after a fall at Cheltenham, he accidentally embroils his friend Gerard Logan in a perilous search for a stolen videotape. Logan is a glassblower on the verge of widespread acclaim. Long accustomed to the frightful dangers inherent in molten glass and in maintaining a glassmaking furnace at never less than 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, Logan is suddenly faced with terrifying threats to his business, his courage, and his life. Believing that the missing video holds the key to a priceless treasure, and wrongly convinced that Logan knows where to find it, criminal forces set out to press him for information he doesn't have. To survive, he realizes that he himself must sort out the truth. The final race to the tape throws more hazards in Logan's way than his dead jockey friend could ever have imagined. Glass shatters. Logan doesn't ...but it's a close-run thing.

ART IN CULTURAL STUDIES
Reconceptualizing the ‘object’ of the Anthropology of Art
ART IN CULTURAL STUDIES
Art is CONTINGENT in nature and must be understood as part of a broader social context.
Art is CONSTITUTIVE . How art (re) produces (ideological) meanings. Concerned with the individual and relation to society.
Not just relevant to viewers, but artists too are engaged in this approach to artworlds.
The art of Francis Dick
as ‘object’ of Anthropology
As CONTINGENT
Broader social factors influencing her art: education (BSW, UVIC), situations of abuse, role of women, family is well known for art, grandmother’s and brother’s deaths, internal politics of her nation, contemporary significance of origin stories, therapy, sexuality, colonialism, aboriginal resistance.
As CONSTITUTIVE : art as site of struggle to make meanings :
Places of women (of shelter, resistance, power)
Of contemporary aboriginal lives under oppressive conditions (Indian Reserves, urban ghettos, physical and sexual abuse, racial violence, political exile, gender discrimination)
critiquing FUNCTIONALISM
Functionalism considers how art plays a role in maintaining the status quo of a system of Culture (way of life).

    Er hat bislang - unter anderem auf Betreiben der Queen Mum - 38 Bücher geschrieben. "Scherben" ist laut seiner eigenen Aussage sein letztes Buch, das er Königin Elisabeth, der Königinmutter, zum 100. Geburtstag gewidmet und erst auf ihre Bitte hin überhaupt noch geschrieben hat.

    Der junge Regisseur Thomas Lyon kommt in seine alte Heimat Newmarket zurück, um einen Film zu drehen. Bei einem seiner Besuche beim schwerkranken Rennsportjournalisten Valentine verwechselt dieser ihn mit einem Priester - und beichtet ihm einen Mord. Thomas nimmt dies zunächst nicht ernst.
    Doch als nach dem Tod Valentines versucht wird, die Unterlagen, die er Thomas vermacht hatte, zu stehlen, als die Dreharbeiten durch Anschläge, Mordversuche etc. empfindlich gestört werden, wird er misstrauisch. Vor allem, weil es sich bei dem neuen Film um einen vor 26 Jahren hier in Newmarket stattgefundenen, nie aufgeklärten Todesfall handelt - und der Film angeblich die Lösung kennt.

    Rob Finn ist Jockey - keiner der berühmten, erfolgreichen, sondern einer der vielen, die um jeden Ritt dankbar sind, auch wenn ihm prinzipiell eher schlechte Pferde angeboten werden. Er schlägt sich somit mehr schlecht als recht durchs Leben.
    Die Stimmung ist generell nicht gut unter den Jockeys. Einer erschießt sich, weil er entlassen wurde, ein zweiter wird so aggressiv, dass er in psychiatrische Behandlung muss. Die Trainer klagen, dass kaum einsetzbare Jockeys zur Verfügung stünden - den wenigen, die hier sind, werden schlimme Dinge nachgesagt.
