June 20 ZODIAC

They are double individuals, anxious and apprehensive naturally, however they need to grow intellectually, accumulate information and take a stab at nuance. In spite of the fact that their personality is very conflicting, their psyche is especially dynamic, continually distracted with considerations, projects, plans, and so forth. They frequently change the object of their advantage. Diligent, alterable, they look for bliss on the planet, however they are in many cases in the mists. Extremely incautious, they can likewise be unequivocal and imperious. They are enriched with different capacities and can use their influence merciful, without offending their subordinates. Imperfections: They are uncertain individuals and readily understand the activities and contemplations of others. His disposition is anxious, fretful, frequently digressing into negativity. Along these lines, they may not work by any means, bringing about deserted and undiscovered activities. It should be added, notwithstanding, that they have a specific strength, maybe an old pride. They are exceptionally dedicated and battle for a reasonable position. June 20 ZODIAC

Una donna segreta

“I cumuli, i fagotti e i nastri e gli stracci diventano anni,  poi gli anni sono fuggiti. Di certo c’è una luce alle tue spalle, ma non è abbastanza forte per illuminare tutto quello che avresti voluto.La luce sembra schermata o mascherata da un paralume invisibile.Tanta parte di quello su cui contavi che sembrava costituire un solido muro di convinzioni, ora nelle notti brutte, o quando sei…

The New York Review of Books

With a worldwide circulation of over 135,000, The New York Review of Books has established itself, in Esquire‘s words, as “the premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language.” The New York Review began during the New York publishing strike of 1963, when its founding editors, Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein, and their friends, decided to create a new kind of magazine—one in which the most interesting and qualified minds of our time would discuss current books and issues in depth. Just as importantly, it was determined that the Review should be an independent publication; it began life as an independent editorial voice and it remains independent today.

The New York Review’s early issues included articles by such writers as W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Hardwick, Hannah Arendt, Edmund Wilson, Susan Sontag, Robert Penn Warren, Lilian Hellman, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Saul Bellow, Robert Lowell, Truman Capote, William Styron, and Mary McCarthy. The public responded by buying up practically all the copies printed and writing thousands of letters to demand that The New York Review continue publication. And Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein continued as co-editors of the Review until Barbara’s death in 2006 and Robert’s death in 2017.

Within a short time, The New York Times was writing that The New York Review “has succeeded brilliantly,” The New Statesman hailed its founding as “of more cultural import than the opening of Lincoln Center,” and the great English art historian Kenneth Clark observed, “I have never known such a high standard of reviewing.” The unprecedented and enthusiastic response was indicative of how badly America needed a literary and critical journal based on the assumption that the discussion of important books was itself an indispensable literary activity.

From the 1960s into the 21st Century, The New York Review of Books has posed the questions in the debate on American life, culture, and politics. It is the journal where Mary McCarthy reported on the Vietnam War from Saigon and Hanoi; Edmund Wilson challenged Vladimir Nabokov’s translations; Hannah Arendt published her reflections on violence; Ralph Nader published his “manifesto” for consumer justice; I.F. Stone investigated the lies of Watergate; Susan Sontag challenged the claims of modern photography; Jean-Paul Sartre, at 70, described his writing and politics, and how he felt about his blindness; Elizabeth Hardwick addressed the issues of women and writing; Gore Vidal hilariously lampooned bestsellers, Howard Hughes, Teddy Roosevelt, and the Reagans; Felix Rohatyn made the case for a national industrial policy in an influential series of articles; Peter G. Peterson showed why the present Social Security program can’t last; Joan Didion described, in a firsthand account, the situation in El Salvador; McGeorge Bundy, George Kennan, and Lewis Thomas outlined the nuclear threat; Nadine Gordimer and Bishop Desmond Tutu wrote from South Africa on the conflict over apartheid; Vaclav Havel published his reflections from the Czech underground; Timothy Garton Ash reported on the new Eastern Europe; Mark Danner reported on torture from the CIA black sites; Ronald Dworkin wrote of how George W. Bush’s two Supreme Court appointees have created an unbreakable phalanx bent on remaking constitutional law; Freeman Dyson described the scientist as rebel; David Cole revealed how the Bush Justice Department allowed America to become a nation that disappeared and tortured suspects; articles by Paul Krugman, George Soros, Joseph Stiglitz, and Jeff Madrick explained America’s failing economy; Tom Powers described the George W. Bush administration’s fundamental shift from diplomacy to military action; Martin Filler wrote on the many makers of modern architecture; and where Bill Moyers described the threat to the environment presented by Evangelical Christians. It is the journal where the most important issues are discussed by writers who are themselves a major force in world literature and thought.

Every two weeks, these and other writers publish essays and reviews of books and the arts, including music, theater, dance, and film—from Woody Allen’s Manhattan to Kurosawa’s version of King Lear. What has made The New York Review successful, according to The New York Times, is its “stubborn refusal to treat books, or the theatre and movies, for that matter, as categories of entertainment to be indulged in when the working day is done.”

The New York Times further described the Review as “one of the most influential and admired journals of its kind, attracting a high-powered roster of writers” and The Chicago Tribune said the Review is “one of the few venues in American life that takes ideas seriously. And it pays readers the ultimate compliment of assuming that we do too.” Look inside and see for yourself.

The Westerner (William Wyler, 1940)

Cast: Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Doris Davenport, Fred Stone, Forrest Tucker, Paul Hurst, Chill Wills, Lilian Bond, Dana Andrews, Charles Halton, Trevor Bardett, Tom Tyler, Lucien Littlefield. Screenplay: Jo Swerling, Niven Busch, based on a story by Stuart N. Lake. Cinematography: Gregg Toland. Art direction: James Basevi. Film editing: Daniel Mandell. Music: Dimitri Tiomkin. The Westerner is something of a generic title, even for a genre film. I suppose it refers to Gary Cooper's Cole Harden, who is westering toward California when he's brought up short in Texas by some men who think he's a horse thief. (A horse thief sold him the horse.) Tried and sentenced under Judge Roy Bean's "law West of the Pecos," Harden manages to play on Bean's infatuation with Lily Langtry to con his way out of the predicament, only to be forestalled again by a pretty homesteader, Jane Ellen Mathews, played by Doris Davenport, whose career peaked with this film. She's quite good, but for some reason she failed to impress its producer, Sam Goldwyn, who held her contract. We are thick into Western movie tropes here: frontier justice, cowpokes vs. sodbusters, and so on. But what turns The Westerner into one of the classics of the genre is the good-humored attitude toward the material, displayed most of all in the performances of Cooper and Walter Brennan, whose Roy Bean won him the third and probably most deserved of his Oscars. But much credit also goes to that ultimate professional among directors, William Wyler, who doesn't condescend to the material but gives it a lovingly leisurely pace that allows his performers to make the most of it. And there's a screenplay that stays brightly on target from the moment Bean announces that "in this court, a horse thief always gets a fair trial before he's hung." Jo Swerling and Niven Busch got the credit (and the Oscar nomination) for the script, but some other formidable writers had a hand in it, including W.R. Burnett, Lillian Hellman, Oliver La Farge, and Dudley Nichols.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if, writing this essay about Marielle Heller’s Can You Ever Forgive Me?—documenting the life and crimes of Lee Israel, noted forger of letters—I got writer’s block?

Ten minutes into the film, the aging, broke, world-weary Israel (Melissa McCarthy) walks by a room of a handful of women circled around a fastidiously dressed man decrying “Writer’s Block” as laziness, as a justification of the inability to do work or to be original. At a party held in her agent Marjorie’s (Jane Curtin) enormous apartment (there’s a coat check guy), Israel is an invisible outsider in the world of the literary elite. No one talks to her, and there’s the palpable friction of her contempt for the snobbery of such characters who ramble on about structure and reflexivity (oh, so, me then) and her yearning to be recognized and embraced as worthy and talented. The writer of a handful of well-received and panned biographies, Israel is told by Marjorie that she has not made a name for herself, that she has disappeared behind her writing. Or, as Israel retorts, she’s doing her job—but still, she has doubt. And what do so many queer people do when they want to toe the line between disappearing into someone else and flaunting their own persona? They do drag.

Certainly, one of the fundamental questions at the heart of Can You Ever Forgive Me?, written by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty, based on Lee Israel’s autobiography, is a notion of authenticity within art, or, in this case, within writing. To make ends meet, Israel begins to forge and embellish the personal letters of literary and social figures like Dorothy Parker and Noël Coward, and as she becomes further invested in the con of selling them to collectors and bookstore owners, she realizes she has to negotiate the space between her persona as a writer and how much of that persona is predicated on imitation without a real grasp on her own sensibilities or idiosyncrasies as a writer.

How much real is there in this representation, how much authenticity is there in her artifice? As Walter Ong, philosopher and author of Orality and Literacy, would have it, they are two sides of the same coin. “To say writing is artificial is not to condemn it but to praise it,” writes Ong. “Like other artificial creations and indeed more than any other, it is utterly invaluable and indeed essential for the realization of fuller, interior, human potentials. Technologies are not mere exterior aids but also interior transformations of consciousness, and never more than when they affect the word.”

As Israel continues to study the personas and the affectations of different authors and social stars, she becomes increasingly adept at this kind of performance, both of herself and of these other people’s voices. When she writes about Noël Coward dissing Marlene Dietrich, or Dorothy Parker apologizing for a hangover, Israel, as Ong implies, finds the authenticity within the artifice. In effect, Lee Israel becomes a literary drag queen/king.

Explicitly or otherwise, drag has political connotations: in its rejection of normative gender presentation, in its remixing of cultural artifacts to create a persona, in its communal traditions borne out of marginalization, in its adoration and embrace of the artifice of performativity. But the exaggeration of gender or sexuality or persona doesn’t have to happen at a gay bar like Julius’ (located in Manhattan’s West Village, and known as the oldest gay bar in New York)—where much of the film takes place, and where Israel’s close and queerly caustic friendship with hustler Jack Hock (Richard E. Grant) is fostered—with someone regaled in glitter or fake eyebrows (nice try, Gaga). As Heller’s film and Israel argue, drag can be on the page, too.

Lee Israel synthesizes personas—the one in the actual writing from her subjects, the one crafted by biographers and her own approach—in her drag. She uses the (presumably) correct period typewriters to achieve the needed effect for the type style, a nerdy writerly detail analogous to using a similar kind of foundation or lipliner that a drag queen impersonating Cher would use. She blurs the line between an exaggeration of their writerly persona and of her own, and in the process, though it sounds sentimental, she finds herself.

Israel’s class anxieties and her anxieties about her voice as a writer are not unrelated. Unwilling to play the game like other well-established authors, she’s poured her life into letting the writing speak for itself, even if at the sacrifice of that writing not necessarily having a discernible aesthetic or persona. And, though she’s resistant to admit it, it’s the persona that sells. To Majorie and the rest of the literary world, Israel has no product and no worth. Jack, on the other hand, has his old queen-y gesticulations and vocal affectations, an acerbic wit that nonetheless renders him approachable enough (he’s camp, as some would say) that he becomes good at selling the fake documents when Lee’s placed on a list of undesirables within the literary collecting community.

So if drag can abstractly be seen as a sort of riposte to the outside world, a world that rejects queers, lambasting and sending up the restrictions and constructs that became codified and understood as deviant and illegal, so too can Lee’s forgeries be seen as a revenge against an insular community and class set that effectively kept her out and demeaned her. What greater reprisal is there than to use the very stars and legends that they (and she) worship to dupe them out of money? On the outskirts of this film, in the implied context, is the New York ravaged by the AIDS crisis—Jack casually mentions all his friends have died, a pink ACT UP triangle sticker hangs in the window of Julius’—a community of people ignored. Drag has always been an act of defiance. Even for Lee Israel.

After her game is up, she expresses ambivalence about her hesitance to create her own literary persona in her career, that her writer’s block could be so stifling, and her ability to have finally done so, to have found her authorial voice, through the imitation of others’ work. In her uncanny ability to resurrect the spirits of Louise Brooks, Fanny Brice and Lilian Hellman, in her recreation and extensions of Dorothy Parker and Noël Coward, Israel’s found her own authenticity, her own voice, her own persona. Through the creation of artifice. All it took was a little drag.

Goodnight Sleepyville by Blake Liliane Hellman! We loved it! The illustrations are precious!! In bookstores this summer! #ReadAllTheBooks #PictureBooks #MateosMustReads #MargiesMustReads https://www.instagram.com/p/B-m-hUSBDCz/?igshid=ra9plhxrko4t

We can all name an endless number of bedtime stories--I just shared one yesterday!--but how many great books are there about waking up? It can be just as difficult to get kids enthused about morning routines as bedtime. I'm a big fan of Sandra Boynton's classic "Hey, Wake Up" (2000), for example. But more recently I discovered the fabulous new "Welcome to Morningtown" (2019) by Blake Liliane Hellman. Accompanied by colour-washed illustrations by Steven Henry, it gently and cheerfully takes kids through the joys of early morning sunrises, stretches, and yummy breakfasts, among other things. A sweet way to remind kids of all the best things about starting their day. ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #welcometomorningtown #blakelilianehellman #stevenhenry #bloomsburykids #bibliophile #childhoodunplugged #wakingup #morningroutines #homeschoolfamily #preschoolers #primaryschool #kindergartenteachers #librarianstyle #homeschool kindergarten #juniorinfants #teachingreading #classroombooks #newkidsbooks #fatherreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LEJ7GnvWS/?igshid=3ea464hl8t1n

Audrey Hepburn e Shirley MacLaine sono "Quelle Due"

#filmLGBT #CinemaLGBT Audrey Hepburn e Shirley MacLaine sono "Quelle Due"

Audrey Hepburn e Shirley MacLaine nel 1961 divennero Karen Wright e Martha Dobie, personaggi principali del film Quelle due. The Children’s Hour – il titolo originale – è un testo teatrale di Lilian Hellman e portato sul grande schermo per la prima volta nel 1936. William Wyler diresse entrambe le pellicole ma solo nel 1961 gli fu permesso di parlare – velatamente – dell’omosessualità presente…
