Download or read book Kitchen Sink Realisms written by Dorothy Chansky and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1918’s Tickless Time through Waiting for Lefty, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Raisin in the Sun, and The Prisoner of Second Avenue to 2005’s The Clean House, domestic labor has figured largely on American stages. No dramatic genre has done more than the one often dismissively dubbed “kitchen sink realism” to both support and contest the idea that the home is naturally women’s sphere. But there is more to the genre than even its supporters suggest. In analyzing kitchen sink realisms, Dorothy Chansky reveals the ways that food preparation, domestic labor, dining, serving, entertaining, and cleanup saturate the lives of dramatic characters and situations even when they do not take center stage. Offering resistant readings that rely on close attention to the particular cultural and semiotic environments in which plays and their audiences operated, she sheds compelling light on the changing debates about women’s roles and the importance of their household labor across lines of class and race in the twentieth century. The story begins just after World War I, as more households were electrified and fewer middle-class housewives could afford to hire maids. In the 1920s, popular mainstream plays staged the plight of women seeking escape from the daily grind; African American playwrights, meanwhile, argued that housework was the least of women’s worries. Plays of the 1930s recognized housework as work to a greater degree than ever before, while during the war years domestic labor was predictably recruited to the war effort—sometimes with gender-bending results. In the famously quiescent and anxious 1950s, critiques of domestic normalcy became common, and African American maids gained a complexity previously reserved for white leading ladies. These critiques proliferated with the re-emergence of feminism as a political movement from the 1960s on. After the turn of the century, the problems and comforts of domestic labor in black and white took center stage. In highlighting these shifts, Chansky brings the real home.

Book excerpt: Thaddeus (Tad) Darkin, the Duke of Lambeth, used to be a rake. In fact, before Lord Edon was scandalizing the Ton, Tad was the one everyone was talking about. Many gentlemen secretly wished they had his charm with the ladies. All reputable ladies were warned to stay as far from him as possible, which only made him all the more attractive. Then, after a tragic event, he took a vow of celibacy, promising he would never be intimate with another lady again. Over the years, this caused him to be the most sought-after single gentleman in all of London. And even though he doesn't want to marry, his steward left him in financial ruin, so whether he likes it or not, he must take a wife. After being rejected by the gentleman she was hoping to marry, Miss Loretta Bachman is on a mission to save her reputation. She needs to marry someone who will impress the prestigious ladies in her social circle. So when she catches the leader of the group talking about the very handsome and hard-to-get Duke of Lambeth, she's determined to get him to marry her. All she needs is a little bargaining power, and fortunately for her, she happens to have the money he needs to save his estate. When she learns of his vow to remain celibate, she agrees to keep away from his bed. After all, her only reason for marrying him is to secure her social standing in London, not to have a love match. All she asks is that he pretends to be deeply in love with her when they're in public. That way she will succeed in impressing the Ton. But before long, the lines between what is pretend and what is real starts to blur, and it's hard to decide how far to push the limits of their agreement.

Download or read book A Deadly Blend of Souls written by Gordon Lysen and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deadly Blend of Souls was written by the husband and wife writing team of Lisa and Gordon Lysen. According to Lisa: In summer of 2006 we retired, packed up city life and moved to our beautiful lakefront home on the shore of Lake Manitoba. Faced with being the only permanent residents who didn't travel south to escape the bitter winter months, we decided to fill the time with a game that sprang from our mutual love of storytelling. Without ever discussing a plot or characters, we began co-writing a book for fun. Gordon started by writing the first chapter. I read what he had written and imagined where it might go from there, adding a chapter of my own. He read mine, wrote another, and we kept on going, throwing twists and turns into the mix, each waiting to see what was going to happen next. Our only rules were to never discuss what we were planning or where we thought the tale was going, and to respect each other's very different writing styles. What began as a game soon turned into a murder mystery, one we hope you will enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed writing. David Morse is a victim of a dysfunctional but loving childhood.He is beginning to rebuild his world when his past returns and confronts him, tearing hard at his soul. He fights to maintain his self-respect when his newfound life and his very existence are threatened. Gordon Lysen and Lisa Lysen live in Winnipeg, Canada. He was formerly a policeman and she worked in jewelry sales. This is their first book. Publisher's Website: http: //SBPRA.com/GordonLisaLyse
