His three novels Leaving the Atocha Station (2011), 10:04 (2014), and now The Topeka School (2019), all written in the genre of “autofiction” (i.e., the self-conscious fictionalization of events and people from a writer’s real, lived experience), stand out even among works by other recent practitioners of the genre such as Teju Cole, Rachel Cusk, and Karl Ove Knausgaard. ![]() Since then, Lerner-a 2015 MacArthur fellow for his poetry and fiction-has become something of a cult hero for the literary inclined, myself included.

Contributing Virtues of LORNE “L.J.” SMITH, Jr. ![]() ![]() On 4 November, I gathered with my co-workers and the Congressman and watched in horror as everything we held dear was trounced by Ronald Reagan in a landslide election. I had spent the entire summer working for a Congressional candidate in my home district. That autumn in 1980, when I was 17, was tumultuous. It was a book I couldn’t get out of my head, becoming messed up with my own memories of the autumn leading up to Lennon’s assassination. The song Don’t Worry, Baby is Lennon’s earworm in Beatlebone and Barry’s Beatlebone was mine. ![]() It’s a dark book, but there is humour too: Lennon’s writing block is personified by the ghost-like presence of Brian Wilson (whose Beach Boys album Pet Sounds spurred Lennon and McCartney to write better songs). Morning engagements only”: this is the kind of passage that I would have called up Dad to read to him, to remind him of his own days performing. ![]() “Reception is deserted but they’re banging pots and pans together out the back. Some sentences reminded me of my recently dead father, who as a Mancunian lad in the 1950s, fancied himself a Teddy Boy.

Wonderland emerged when Alice found her love for reading, and even better, acting on what she read. People revolting, war, famine, anger at the aristocracy, compassionate philosophers writing famous ideas and wild theories. In it, the words were flavoured with anger and terror and beauty and everything she hadn’t tasted yet in her young life. Alice’s rabbit hole began when she entered her father’s library and picked up one of the books she was forbidden to read. ![]() ![]() ![]() See: List of Shakespeare’s play’s I’ve read and commented on COMMENTS ON THE TAMING OF THE SHREW However, I will keep a separate page listing each play I’ve read with links to any comments I would make of that particular play. ![]() At this time I have no idea how the project will go, nor if it will actually lead me through the entire corpus of Shakespeare’s plays. Thus I began with The Two Gentlemen of Verona. I wanted to go back, start with something not too serious or challenging, and work my way through the whole corpus. I hadn’t read a Shakespeare play since 1959, 50 years ago! But I had read nearly all of them in college.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW By William Shakespeare Book review - THE TAMING OF THE SHREW William Shakespeare ![]() ![]() ![]() Este ensaio argumenta que a cultura ibérica, tal como descrita no livro, não se conforma perfeitamente à dimensão intelectual da cordialidade. Ultimately, the book permits a deeper questioning of the collective pulses and individual desires that, together, form the matter to which populism would respond, a political form temporarily capable of meeting the people’s demands.Įm Raízes do Brasil (1936), Sérgio Buarque de Holanda atribui à cultura ibérica o protagonismo exclusivo na gênese do estilo de vida e pensamento predominante no Brasil, sintetizado na imagem do “homem cordial”. On the other hand, the cordial man offers Buarque de Holanda a window into the limits of democratic liberalism and the personalistic political traditions of Latin America: an impasse discussed at length but never resolved in Roots of Brazil. On the one hand, the cordial man is a product of turn-of-the-century debates on Latin American exceptionalism, a figure almost capable of withstanding the disillusions of the modern world. In this context, the “cordial man” emerges as a metaphor for the lack of public space in Brazil. Discussion begins with the limits of Brazil’s search for national specificity, so as to consider Brazilian cultural formation as a projection of its colonial Iberian roots. ![]() ![]() This article analyzes Sérgio Buarque de Holanda’s Roots of Brazil (1936), a seminal book in the Brazilian essayist tradition. ![]() ![]() Nancy Garden begins the book by describing her experience as a 16-year-old in the early 1950s, when she turned to Collier’s Encyclopedia to look up the word homosexuality.
