Download or read book Veronica written by Mary Gaitskill and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seductive and shattering novel, Alison and Veronica meet amid the nocturnal glamour of 1980s New York: one is a former modeling sensation, stumbling away from the wreck of her career, the other an eccentric middle-aged proofreader with a meticulous eye.Over the next twenty years their friendship will encompass narcissism and tenderness, exploitation and self-sacrifice, love and mortality. Moving seamlessly between the glamorous and gritty '80s, when beauty and style gave licence to excess, and the broken world of the decade's survivors twenty years later, Gaitskill casts a fierce yet compassionate eye on the two eras and their fixations. Veronica masterfully evokes the fragility and mystery of human relationships in a world where love is rife with contradictions. Evocative, raw and entirely unique, Veronica was shortlisted for the prestigious 2005 National Book Award in the USA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gaslight Sonatas" by using Fannie Hurst is a compelling collection of brief tales that delves into the intricacies of human relationships towards the backdrop of the gaslit streets of early twentieth-century urban America. Fannie Hurst, recognised for her keen perception into human nature, crafts poignant and emotionally resonant testimonies that discover the lives of everyday people going through splendid demanding situations. The memories within "Gaslight Sonatas" are likely to be characterised with the aid of vivid characters, each navigating the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. Hurst's narrative fashion is probably to be rich in element, taking pictures the nuances of the evolving social landscape and the non-public struggles of her characters. The gaslight generation serves as a metaphorical and atmospheric putting, contributing to the mood and ambiance of the testimonies. Themes of resilience, societal expectancies, and the pursuit of private achievement can be woven at some point of the collection, creating a tapestry of human studies. Fannie Hurst's storytelling prowess, coupled along with her potential to evoke an experience of time and area, makes "Gaslight Sonatas" a poignant exploration of the human condition throughout a transformative length in American history.

Download or read book Beyond Immersive Theatre written by Adam Alston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immersive theatre currently enjoys ubiquity, popularity and recognition in theatre journalism and scholarship. However, the politics of immersive theatre aesthetics still lacks a substantial critique. Does immersive theatre model a particular kind of politics, or a particular kind of audience? What’s involved in the production and consumption of immersive theatre aesthetics? Is a productive audience always an empowered audience? And do the terms of an audience’s empowerment stand up to political scrutiny? Beyond Immersive Theatre contextualises these questions by tracing the evolution of neoliberal politics and the experience economy over the past four decades. Through detailed critical analyses of work by Ray Lee, Lundahl & Seitl, Punchdrunk, shunt, Theatre Delicatessen and Half Cut, Adam Alston argues that there is a tacit politics to immersive theatre aesthetics – a tacit politics that is illuminated by neoliberalism, and that is ripe to be challenged by the evolution and diversification of immersive theatre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Margaret Mead and Zora Neale Hurston to Lionel Trilling and Lou Gehrig, Columbia University has been home to some of the most important historians, scientists, critics, artists, physicians, and social scientists of the twentieth century. (It can also boast a hall-of-fame athlete.) In Living Legacies at Columbia, contributors with close personal ties to their subjects capture Columbia's rich intellectual history. Essays span the birth of genetics and modern anthropology, constitutionalism from John Jay to Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Virginia Apgar's test, Lou Gehrig's swing, journalism education, black power, public health, the development of Asian studies, the Great Books Movement, gender studies, human rights, and numerous other realms of teaching and discovery. They include Eric Foner on historian Richard Hoftstader, Isaac Levi and Sidney Hook on John Dewey, David Rosand on art historian Meyer Schapiro, John Hollander on critic Mark Van Doren, Donald Keene on Asian studies, Jacques Barzun on history, Eric Kandel on geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan, and Rosalind Rosenberg on Franz Boas and his three most famous pupils: Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, and Zora Neale Hurston. Much more than an institutional history, Living Legacies captures the spirit of a great university through the stories of gifted men and women who have worked, taught, and studied at Columbia. It includes stories of struggle and breakthrough, searching and discovery, tradition and transformation.
