She’s visited by an actor participating in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, who discovers an unfinished ornament among her wares. At home, she discovers the object to be beautifully crafted and puzzles that it is incomplete. Her daughter, Vicky, struggling in her marriage, brings her three daughters from Atlanta to Jackie’s house in New Jersey for Christmas to get away and sort out her life. When two of Vicky’s girls pull one of Jackie’s crocheted ornaments apart, they find a similarity between one that Jackie’s mother helped make as a child and the unfinished ornament. Jackie and Vicky search through Jackie’s family letters for mention of crochet and macramé together and find an obscure reference to an unidentified “him.” Vicki discovers an old letter to Jackie containing a marriage proposal, which leads her to inquire about her parents’ break-up. The craft curiosity starts a search for family names back through Jackie’s grandparents, only to uncover a shredded newspaper clipping and a torn-up telegram death notice from World War I, missing the sailor’s name. Where will the connections from the Christmas ornament lead and will it reveal The Ghost of Christmas Past?

Download or read book The Baroque Night written by Spencer Golub and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Baroque Night, authorial idiosyncrasy hybridizes the concepts of "baroque" and "noir" across the fields of film, theater, literature, and philosophy, arguing for mental function as form, as an impossible object, a container in which the container itself is the thing contained. The book is an experiment in thinking difference and thinking differently, an ethics of otherness and the abstract. Spencer Golub inverts the unreality of the real and the reality of fiction, exposing the tropes of memory, identity, and authenticity as a scenic route through life that ultimately blocks the view. The Baroque Night draws upon materials that have not previously been included in studies of either the baroque or film noir, while offering new perspectives on other, more familiar sources. Leibniz's concepts of the monad and compossibility provide organizing thought models, and death, fear, and mental illness cast their anamorphic images across surfaces that are deeper and closer than they at first appear. Key characters and situations in the book derive from the works of Alfred Hitchcock, Henri-Georges Clozot, Jean-Pierre Melville, Oscar Wilde, Georges Perec, Patricia Highsmith, William Shakespeare, Jean Racine, Pierre Corneille, and Arthur Conan Doyle, among many others. This is virtuality and reality for the phobic, making it a fascinating and viable document of and episteme for the anxious age in which we (always) find ourselves living, though not yet fully alive. This performance of suspect evidence speaks to and in the ways we are organically inauthentic, the cause of our own causality and our own worst eyewitnesses to all that appears and disappears in space and time.

Book excerpt: The Ghost of Christmas Story is the tale about Ken, who is dead, and is reluctantly and bitterly serving his time in Purgatory playing different roles of Ghosts of Christmas. During an assignment as Ghost of Christmas Future, Ken is mistakenly sent to the cemetery where he was buried. He finds he was not buried next to his wife as planned, but instead his wife buried next to another man, and his grown children weeping over their graves. Ken discovers his grave, by itself in the corner of the cemetery. Ken spirals into resentment, questioning why he was never saved when he was alive. As Ken continues playing different roles of Ghost of Christmas future, present and past saving other clients, Ken goes on his own journey.
