Sea of tranquility emily6/29/2023 John Mandel, who, like an ingenious origami artist, seems determined with each new work to add yet another fold to our perception of what is real and one further twist to what we think of as time…Transcendent.” “‘Reality is things as they are,’ Wallace Stevens declared, and who could argue with that? Well, legions of philosophers and any number of novelists, among them Emily St. We are shown what two forms can offer each other, and exposed to the interrogating possibilities of science fiction.” “Sea of Tranquility is broader in scope than any of Mandel’s previous novels, voyaging profligately across lands and centuries…Destabilizing, extraordinary, and blood-boiling…Mandel weds a sharp, ambivalent self-accounting-the type of study that tends to wear the label ‘autofiction’-to a speculative epic. “In Sea of Tranquility, Mandel offers one of her finest novels and one of her most satisfying forays into the arena of speculative fiction yet, but it is her ability to convincingly inhabit the ordinary, and…project a sustaining acknowledgment of beauty, that sets the novel apart…Born of…empathy and hard-won understanding, beautifully built into language, for all of us who inhabit this ‘green-and-blue world’ and who one day might live well beyond.” The ravishing of lol stein6/29/2023 This essay explores the use of sound–image disjunction in Marguerite Duras's India Song (1975) in relation to migration, bilingualism and cinema's metaphoric potential. This paper will argue that, despite the obvious dissimilarities of gender, genre, time, and erotic orientation, these writers’ depictions of Eros have more in common than is generally believed. Nonetheless, it is difficult to imagine two writers who have more powerfully written about erotic attraction than Plato and Duras. Certainly, Duras would have scoffed at the label Platonist. Stein and Le vice-consul, all the way to the young girl prostituted by her mother in L’amant, Eros is a constant theme in Duras and one seemingly far away from the ideal realm of spiritual love to which the name Platonic is given. From the opening shot of Hiroshima Mon Amour, where the intertwined limbs of lovers recall twisted corpses, to Moderato Cantabile, where Anne Desbarèsdes and Chauvin reconstruct the murder of a young woman by her presumed lover, to the mournful, often wordless eroticism of Le ravissement de Lol V. Love in her work is seldom idealized, often a compulsion, closely associated with death and mourning. Marguerite Duras is a novelist of erotic obsession. My nephew will come home and tell me what he’s learned at school that day, and it’s just brilliant.”įor Poe, her autism diagnosis happened completely by chance, and years too late. They bring the world to me in a way, and I love that. “We have an extension, so I am really lucky to live with her and her kids. “I am still quite isolated, but my sister’s family has moved in,” she says. It was the first time Poe, a self-taught artist and writer who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 21, had ever managed to get the upper hand over her anxiety, but as she writes in her memoir How to be Autistic, beating anxiety once doesn’t mean it will never rear its head again, and even after winning a prestigious art prize and doing TV interviews, Poe still experiences days when “depression causes a near physical ache”.ĭespite her isolation, Poe has found an alternative way of connecting with the world, thanks to the support of her family. Instead, she wondered whether she could Photoshop herself into the wedding photos at a later date, until she finally managed to beat her anxiety at the eleventh hour and made it to the ceremony. Even on the morning of her sister’s wedding, Poe sat in her bedroom dressed up in a gold dress, with curled hair and painstakingly applied makeup, but she was adamant she couldn’t go. Charlotte Amelia Poe only leaves the house once or twice a month. The wizard of oz story book6/28/2023 The Library of Congress called The Wonderful Wizard of Oz "America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale " the Broadway spin-off Wicked is one of the most successful musicals of all time, and the iconic 1939 film starring Judy Garland is widely considered one of the best films of all time-it's what all great movies based on books aspire to be. Today, 120 years later, the book has become an important part of American culture. A little more than 50 years later, when The Wonderful Wizard of Oz entered the public domain, it had sold more than 3 million copies. It took almost no time for the book to become popular-by the time the first 10,000 copies were finished printing in January 1901, they quickly sold out. The first was A-G, the next drawer was labeled H-N, and on the last were the letters O-Z. My gaze was caught by the gilt letters on the three drawers of the cabinet. I was thinking and wondering about a title for my story, and I had settled on 'Wizard' as part of it. As he told Publisher's Weekly in 1903, "I have a little cabinet letter file on my desk in front of me. According to Baum himself, the name for his magical land came from the most mundane of places.
