Kemper coughed. “The key thing is the patsy. Once we get beyond that, we’re home free.”Littell shook his head. “No. The key thing is to thwart a full-scale FBI investigation.”Pete and Kemper looked puzzled. They weren’t thinking up to his level.Littell spoke very slowly. “I think Mr. Hoover knows it’s coming. He’s got private bugs installed in god-knows-how-many Mob meeting places, and he told me he’s been picking up a huge amount of Kennedy hatred. He hasn’t informed the Secret Service, or they wouldn’t be planning motorcades through to the end of the fall.”Kemper nodded. “Hoover wants it to happen. It happens, he’s glad it happened, and he still gets assigned to investigate it. What we need is an ‘in’ to get him to obfuscate or short-shrift the investigation.”Pete nodded. “We need an FBI-linked fall guy.”Kember said, “Dougie Frank Lockhart.”

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been invited here today for the official announcement of the inquiry into the death of George Hammond. A complete transcript of the investigation is in preparation. This committee has spent nearly six months of investigation, followed by eleven weeks of hearings. After careful deliberation, it is concluded that George Hammond was assassinated by Joseph Frady. An overwhelming body of evidence has revealed that Frady was obsessed with the Carroll assassination, and in his confused and distorted state of mind seems to have imagined that Hammond was responsible for the senator’s death. He was equally convinced that Hammond was somehow plotting to kill him. And it is for those reasons that Frady assassinated him. Although I’m certain that this will do nothing to discourage the conspiracy peddlers: there is no evidence of a conspiracy in the assassination of George Hammond. Those are our findings. The evidence will be available as soon as possible. Thank you. This is an announcement, gentlemen. There will be no questions.

ESSAY: Although post-1960 America has seen a rise in conspir…

ESSAY: Although post-1960 America has seen a rise in conspiracy theories and attendant fictions, it is clear that that the theme runs throughout American history, culture, and literature. In his essay “Conspiracy in American Narrative,” Timothy Melley notes that for authors including Thomas Pynchon, Allan Ginsberg, Don Dellilo, Ken Kesey, Joan Didion, and Margaret Atwood, “conspiracy was not simply complot (the gathering of people to enact a secret plan) or a metaphor for interpretive suspicion, it was an explicit cultural logic for thinking about systems, networks, and complex social structures.” For writers the Melley mentions–and we can add the likes of James Ellroy, Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code), Robert Anton Wilson (the Illuminatus trilogy), Stephen King (11/22/63), Umberto Eco, and even Robert Ludlum and Michael Crichton, conspiracy theories have provided fertile ground for successful (financial and critical) novels. For this essay, offer an explanation for why readers are drawn to such narratives. As a conclusion, consider the value of reading conspiracy narratives or fictions–do they simply magnify conspiracy thinking or do they offer a critique or counter–or something else.In your response, provide a definition for “conspiracy fiction (or narrative)”–as distinct from conspiracy theories. Include primary literary elements, themes, and motifs, some of which may be shared with conspiracy theory (incorporating theoretical concepts from the readings–both undergraduate and graduate as applicable–distinguishes Bs from As). Provide at least three examples (include at least two novels or films–don’t just list three short stories) to illustrate your definition and include an explanation of how the example illustrates the definition by pointing to specifics of plot or other literary element (you do not need produce specific quotations). If breaking down “conspiracy fiction” further helps with your definition, feel free to distinguish subcategories. You may also want to distinguish from other similar genres as necessary.
