Highly recommended!" - Peeking Between The Pages "This novel is so much about the characters living within its pages, the time period, and the setting of Cornwall.

He was attracted to trash." This has elements of truth but Williams's character and dramas were more complex than this categorisation of him as a masochist on the hunt for rough trade. Beloved by an American public, Tennessee Williamss work - blood hot and personal - pioneered, as Arthur Miller declared, a revolution in American theatre. ![]() Lahr quotes Elia Kazan, who directed Streetcar, observing "Blanche (heroine of Streetcar) is attracted to murderer Stanley… Blanche wants the very thing that's going to crush her… That's the way Williams was. Such Williams' heroines as Blanche du Bois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Alma in Summer and Smoke, The Princess in Sweet Bird of Youth and Lady in Orpheus Descending are variously afflicted by sexual repression, hysteria, hypochondria, neuroses, terror of ageing and lust for a risky young man – all characteristics which they share with their author. For ever, since the high days of homophobia, Williams has been written up – though not off – as a playwright whose famous heroines are colourfully cross-dressed in elements of the playwright's own personality. To say this is hardly to offer a psychologically revealing comment on the genesis of Tennessee's compulsive need to write. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel is different from the Disney version, of course, with the most remarkable difference for me being the fact that Pongo is “married” to the Missis, not Perdita, though Perdita is also in the story. I read this one with very few expectations, which is perhaps the best way of all to enjoy a story. I knew very little about the story besides what I remembered from a long-ago viewing of the Disney movies (both the cartoon-years and years ago-and the newer live action film) and from reading Disney picture books to my children. Since we’ve spent so much time in Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain or with Elizabeth Enright’s Melendy family this year (and enjoyed both so much!), this doggy romp through London and the English countryside was an exciting, entertaining, and very enjoyable diversion. Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge (74)ġ01 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith was our ninth or tenth chapter book read-aloud of 2014, and one of only four books for the year so far that isn’t a part of a series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hanging from the rafters are two banners that say James and James II above the now-retired numbers 7 and 13. ![]() But with banners bearing my name hanging from the rafters, I feel like I’m suffocating under them. Force a little uptick at the corners of my mouth. Still, the way Delilah smiles, holding Jade’s hands and skating backward as she guides her across the ice, it’s almost enough to make me smile, too. Her life is even more hockey-centric than mine, and in the few hours I’ve known Jade, she’s made it perfectly clear that she knows next to nothing about the sport. Don’t ask me how Delilah ended up with a non-athlete. I sit on top of the boards at home bench, taping the blade of my stick and listening to the scrape of ice as my sister teaches her new girlfriend, Jade, how to skate. To prove myself worthy of my own name.Īt least I have Delilah here to make the whole situation tolerable. I have zero desire or motivation to play hockey or do anything other than acquaint myself with my new mattress, but I also have this all-consuming need to be on the ice. ![]() So, being both depressed and anxious at the same time is absolutely wild. ![]() ![]() ![]() GraphicAudio has since released Countdown, Final Crisis, Batman: No Man's Land, and other titles. ![]() In 20, GraphicAudio released a series of Justice League of America audiobooks, followed in May 2009 by an audiobook version of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and that summer by Batman: Dead White and Batman: Inferno.

She would stand up and face her past to keep him safe.Īs a princess Serena never really had to do anything. Karl figuring out what he wanted had changed. The chemistry between the two builds through out the story. Karl was proving that he would keep his word. Karl was slowly taking down her defences. But as time goes by she is falling under his spell. Serena thought Karl was overbearing and stubborn. She was more resourcefull that what he thought she could be. Karl finds it harder than he thought to seduce Serena. He can give her what she wants if she wins but if she looses Karl gets her as his wife. And Karl wants what he had before, in order for that he needs Serena as his wife.

Schiaparelli offers budding artist Lily a job at her store, and Lily finds herself increasingly involved in the designers' personal war. Charlie's socially prominent girlfriend soon begins wearing Schiaparelli's designs, too, and much of Paris follows in her footsteps. When Lily Sutter, a recently widowed young American teacher, visits her brother, Charlie, in Paris, he wants to buy her a couture dress-a Chanel. The Beautiful American is written by Jeanne Mackin and published by Berkley (P-US). ![]() They oppose each other at every turn, in both their politics and their designs: Chanel's are classic, elegant, and practical Schiaparelli's are bold, experimental, and surreal. With World War II looming over Paris, an American woman becomes entangled in the intense rivalry between iconic fashion designers Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli in this "fascinating" (Hazel Gaynor) novel from the acclaimed author ofĬoco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli are fighting for recognition as the most successful fashion designer in France, and their rivalry is already legendary. ![]() ![]() ![]() DeMille among others, helps imbue the film with a major sense of authenticity - including the fact that Paramount Pictures had such trust in Wilder that they allowed him feature the studio within the film.ĭriven by Gillis\' narration, the film is a slice of 1949\'s Los Angeles, with a slice of noir, further accentuated by Franz Waxman\'s Oscar-winning score. Cameos by some Hollywood legends, including Buster Keaton and Cecil B. It features excellent performances by Holden and Swanson, as well as Erich von Stroheim and Nancy Olson in supporting roles. A cynical look at the motion picture industry, Sunset Boulevard is filled with drama, black humor and some immensely quotable lines ("I am big - it\'s the pictures that got small!"). Billy Wilder\'s classic 1950 film is about struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden) and his ultimately fatal experience with crazy faded silent movie diva Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) who has a dream of staging a comeback with her revival of Salome. ![]() One of the best films that Hollywood made about Hollywood is Sunset Boulevard. ![]() ![]() ![]() was still a collection of colonies, been rife with mythology, skullduggery and outright fabrication. The bourbon business has, apparently from its beginnings back when the U.S.A. Which makes his clear-headed approach to the somewhat fabulous topic of bourbon all the more impressive. Mitenbuler has done his research – both historical and apparently copious amounts of tasting. Which isn’t all that conducive to serious reading.īut I learned a lot from this book. It took me a little longer to get through than it should’ve, because after a while of reading about bourbon, I’d find myself thinking, “That sounds good,” and have myself a tipple. It’s seriously well written, well organized, thorough, readable and entertaining. This is his first book, but it doesn’t show. Mitenbuler is a journalist and whiskey expert who has written about whiskey and “drinking culture” for The Atlantic, Slate, and Saveur, and writes a “Drinking in History” column for Serious Eats. Like so many other historical details, the makers of Westerns probably got that one wrong, or so implies Reid Mitenbuler in his lucid book Bourbon Empire. Sorry, but it probably didn’t happen that way. Maybe the cowboy even says “I’ll take the bottle” and heads for a table. I realize that movie Westerns are no longer the cultural touchstone they were for my generation, but I’m sure many of you have no trouble remembering a movie scene in which a cowboy walks into a saloon, orders a whiskey and the barkeep pours him one from a clear glass quart-size bottle. ![]() |
