Novel Syllabus 2024

This coming year I think I'm going to be on here more often than I am on twitter or elsewhere, and as part of that, I'm going to start documenting the process of writing my novel more actively. I want to return to/resurrect the momentum and energy I had while writing the first draft and be more intentional about setting aside time to work, even when it's difficult. Below are my writing goals for the coming year as well as my reading list of texts for inspiration, genre/background research, comps, etc. Would welcome any suggestions of texts (any genre/discipline) pertaining to Antigone, death & resurrection, Welsh and Cornish myth and folklore, ecology & environmental crisis, and the Gothic.

Writing Goals

Novità (ma non solo...)

Il vostro affezionato staff delle Biblioteche di Milano vi imbandisce un piccolo antipasto letterario, prima delle pantagrueliche proposte natalizie.

Di Geoffrey Holiday Hall si sa soltanto che fu giornalista e scrittore. Elogiato da Leonardo Sciascia che lesse La fine è nota nel 1952, pubblicò solo due gialli e poi scomparve praticamente nel nulla. La fine è nota (uscito per la prima volta in Italia con il titolo La morte alla finestra) fu premiato in Francia nel 1953 come miglior poliziesco in lingua non francese. Il titolo originale (The end is known) deriva dal Giulio Cesare di Shakespeare: “Oh, se fosse dato all’uomo di conoscere la fine di questo giorno che incombe! Ma basta solo che il giorno trascorra e la sua fine è nota”. Un giallo di classe, strutturato come un viaggio a ritroso nella vita del protagonista di cui si ricostruisce la storia passo per passo, testimonianza per testimonianza, come un misterioso puzzle che si completa, ovviamente, solo nel finale. Molto godibile è anche il secondo titolo Qualcuno alla porta, dai toni più leggeri, nonostante gli omicidi e l’atmosfera della Vienna sotto l’occupazione sovietica nel secondo dopoguerra che non ricorda neppure lontanamente gli splendori dell’impero asburgico. “Sembra uno di quei soggetti che piacevano a Hitchcock (e non è detto che il pressoché ignoto Holiday Hall, scrivendo Qualcuno alla porta, non avesse in mente le figure di James Stewart e Doris Day, o di Cary Grant e Grace Kelly)”. La frizzante coppia americana che si trova, suo malgrado, a gestire le indagini ricorda anche il duo Tommy e Tuppence di Agatha Christie. Doppio colpo di scena sul finale: cosa chiedere di più a un libro giallo?

Ha un solo difetto Un volto nella folla di Budd Schulberg: è troppo breve. Parliamo ancora dell’autore di Perché corre Sammy? e I disincantati per questo racconto appena uscito e finora inedito in Italia, da cui Elia Kazan trasse il film omonimo con protagonista Andy Griffith (l’indimenticabile avvocato Matlock della fortunata serie televisiva, per intenderci). Il tema, fin troppo attuale, è quello della manipolazione del pensiero e dei comportamenti (e quindi del voto) delle masse da parte dei personaggi dello spettacolo: in questo caso si tratta di un finto sempliciotto proveniente da un paesino dell’Arkansas che, in virtù della sua sconcertante capacità di coinvolgimento, diventa il paradigma dell’America intera. Grazie alle sue canzoni folk, a vecchi luoghi comuni sulle tradizioni popolari e a un indubbio carisma, il nostro eroe riesce a condizionare il pubblico e ad arricchirsi con i lauti proventi della pubblicità. Cambia il tema negli altri due racconti della raccolta: i ‘dietro le quinte’ del mondo del cinema in Questa è Hollywood, che l’autore, sceneggiatore e figlio di un tycoon della Paramount, non solo conosceva bene, ma sapeva anche descrivere con agile penna, e L’imbonitore, sul mondo della boxe. Ricordiamo che per la sceneggiatura di Fronte del porto (che è anche un romanzo), celebre film con Marlon Brando, Schulberg si aggiudicò l’Oscar nel 1954.

Per la serie i grandi classici hanno sempre qualcosa da dire è stato ripubblicato da Mondadori e da Sellerio Brighton Rock di Graham Greene. Una lettura da consigliare sotto tutti i punti di vista: un giallo ben costruito con protagonisti tratti sia dalla malavita, sia dal caso che fa di un personaggio del tutto inaspettato un accanito segugio alla ricerca del colpevole, come fosse Porfirij Petrovic che insegue Raskolnikov o Javert che perseguita Jean Valjean, ma con uno spirito diverso, fresco e originale. “Nello specchio inclinato sopra il lavabo si poteva vedere riflesso, ma gli occhi si distolsero rapidamente da quell’immagine di guance livide e mal rasate, di capelli lisci e occhi da vecchio. Non lo interessava. Era troppo orgoglioso per preoccuparsi del suo aspetto”.

Nuova ristampa anche per Le vittime di Norwich (1935) uno dei gialli più famosi (insieme a The House of Dr. Edwardes che ispirò il film Io ti salverò diretto da Alfred Hitchcock) fra i 31 composti dalla coppia britannica John Leslie Palmer e Hilary Aidan St. George Saunders sotto lo pseudonimo di Francis Beeding.

Da La regina degli scacchi di Walter Tevis, lo scrittore di Lo spaccone e Il colore dei soldi, è stata tratta una miniserie televisiva di grande successo. Accade spesso che i geni abbiano avuto una vita difficile, siano dei disadattati, spesso asociali, in perenne conflitto con se stessi, il prossimo e il mondo che li circonda. È anche questo il caso della protagonista, la piccola Beth, cresciuta in orfanotrofio, che trova una riscossa alla sua grigia esistenza grazie alla passione per la scacchiera. Una curiosità sul ‘caso letterario’ di Tevis: dopo il successo dei primi libri, fu dimenticato anche a causa dei problemi con l’alcol. Quando decise di riprendere a scrivere, lo fece seguendo un corso di scrittura all’Università dove fu riconosciuto dal poeta Donald Justice che, stupito, gli chiese cosa ci facesse un grande autore come lui in mezzo agli studenti, quando avrebbe invece dovuto salire in cattedra. Breve fu purtroppo la sua seconda stagione creativa: Tevis morì a soli 56 anni per un tumore.

Il voyeurismo è il tema principale dell’ultimo romanzo di Simenon pubblicato da Adelphi, Delitto impunito: composto nel 1953 durante il soggiorno dello scrittore a Lakeville nel Connecticut, fu edito l’anno successivo in volume e a puntate sul settimanale «Les Nouvelles littéraires». Il secondo tema del libro è l’invidia, quella di chi non ha nulla, né bellezza né fascino nè denaro ed è stato defraudato perfino dell’affetto dei genitori, nei confronti di chi invece ha tutto questo e ne mena vanto, e gode nell’esibirlo senza ritegno. Una lotta accanita tra due personalità, che è la lotta atavica tra gli uomini per la supremazia. “A Élie non era mai successo di trovarsi davanti un uomo completamente felice, felice in tutto e per tutto, sempre e comunque, in ogni momento della giornata, e che approfittava con candore di tutto quel che lo circondava per accrescere il proprio piacere”.

Una nuova indagine per l’improbabile detective di Partanna Giovà, metronotte per caso, coinvolto in un duplice omicidio di stampo mafioso insieme a tutta la scombinata famiglia Di Dio. Sarà ancora una volta l’anziana madre, autentica virago arroccata alle salde tradizioni popolari e armata di un cervello dalla logica “acuminata”, ad avviare le indagini verso l’inevitabile conclusione. Ma cos’è La boffa allo scecco? Questo, almeno, ve lo possiamo svelare: si tratta di un gesto simil-apotropaico (in realtà un autentico sopruso) che a tutti è occorso di subire almeno una volta nella vita, ovvero lo schiaffo di rimando, come sfogo per un’ingiustizia patita che non si è in grado di vendicare altrimenti. Roberto Alajmo non delude le aspettative.

Per quanto riguarda Sarà assente l’autore di Giampaolo Simi, si può dire che, se esiste una sana via di mezzo tra assecondare a priori i gusti dei lettori meno esigenti e scrivere in modo che solo l’autore possa comprendere i propri contenuti, Simi l’ha sicuramente trovata e ce la propone in queste succulente paginette. Dedicato a chi ha la voglia, la necessità, l’urgenza di ridere a crepapelle.

Nell’ultimo nato della serie del BarLume di Marco Malvaldi, La morra cinese, gli inossidabili vecchietti sono alle prese con l’omicidio niente di meno che di un giovane filologo romanzo alle prese con un carteggio appartenente alla famiglia di un nobile “arci-decaduto” del luogo, in cui, pare, compariva addirittura un’epistola inedita di Giacomo Leopardi. Ma questo non è l’unico movente per un delitto che non resterà a lungo irrisolto.

CASTING NOTES

Several actors were offered the role of Judah Ben-Hur before it was accepted by Charlton Heston. Burt Lancaster stated he turned down the role because he found the script boring and belittling to Christianity. Paul Newman turned it down because he said he didn't have the legs to wear a tunic. Marlon Brando, Rock Hudson, Geoffrey Horne and Leslie Nielsen were also offered the role, as were a number of muscular, handsome Italian actors (many of whom did not speak English). Kirk Douglas was interested in the role, but was turned down in favor of Heston, who was formally cast on January 22, 1958. His salary was $250,000 for 30 weeks, a prorated salary for any time over 30 weeks, and travel expenses for his family.

Stephen Boyd was cast as the antagonist, Messala, on April 13, 1958. William Wyler originally wanted Heston for the role, but sought another actor after he moved Heston into the role of Judah Ben-Hur.

Marie Ney was originally cast as Miriam, but was fired after two days of work because she could not cry on cue. Heston says that he was the one who suggested that Wyler cast Martha Scott as Miriam, and she was hired on July 17, 1958. Cathy O’Donnell was Wyler's sister-in-law, and although her career was in decline, Wyler cast her as Tirzah.

RECEPTION

Ben-Hur received overwhelmingly positive reviews upon its release. Bosley Crowther, writing for The New York Times, called Ben-Hur “a remarkably intelligent and engrossing human drama". While praising the acting and William Wyler's "close-to" direction, he also had high praise for the chariot race: "There has seldom been anything in movies to compare with this picture's chariot race. It is a stunning complex of mighty setting, thrilling action by horses and men, panoramic observation and overwhelming use of dramatic sound."

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes website reported that 85% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 54 reviews collected, with an average rating of 8.20/10. The critics consensus reads, "Uneven, but in terms of epic scope and grand spectacle, Ben-Hur still ranks among Hollywood's finest examples of pure entertainment."

5 Essential Acting Techniques Every Actor in the New York City Casting Agencies Should Know

The work of an actor is frequently unclear and intangible, which is why, over time, performers and directors have created varied approaches to parts. These acting skills serve two purposes: They make it simpler to describe the mechanics of acting, while also providing performers with an arsenal of skills to utilize when taking on a character. Here are the five key acting methods that every actor should be familiar with.

1. Stanislavski’s System Technique

Developed by Constantin Stanislavski between 1911 and 1916, this approach employs emotional memory, physical acts, and self-analysis to elicit a character's feelings on stage. Stanislavski's work influenced early twentieth-century acting and paved the path for new approaches. Lord Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud are two well-known actors from the twentieth century who based their careers on the Stanislavski method.

Lord Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Ellen Burstyn, and Marilyn Monroe have all employed this approach.

2. The Strasburg Method Technique

Lee Strasburg developed Stanislavski's approach by basing his character's experiences on his own life. Strasburg thought that feeling the emotions that a character would have to depict would enhance the performance and the actor's attachment to the part. This is now known as Method acting.

Strasburg coached James Dean, Alec Baldwin, and Marilyn Monroe, among others, and his style is popular with Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, and others.

3. Meisner Technique

This acting approach was invented by Sandford Meisner, a colleague of Lee Strasberg, and it is also inspired by the Stanislavski method. The idea is to get rid of any inclination and instead rely on instinct so that you can be more present and at the moment on stage.

The Meisner approach emphasizes improvisation exercises and the use of imagination to elicit emotion rather than memory.

The Meisner method is used by Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Allison Janney, and Anthony Hopkins.

4. Method Acting Technique

The Stanislavski approach influenced Lee Strasberg's Method Acting technique, which is still widely used today. Once again, the goal is to make the performance as emotionally believable as possible. In this, actors are taught how to recollect powerful feelings from their past using their own experiences.

It is a common misperception that this acting approach causes staying in character both on and off-screen or on stage.

This acting method has been used by Daniel Day-Lewis, Christian Bale, Robert Di Niro, and Marlon Brando.

5. Stella Adler’s Technique

Stella Adler was an American actress in the period of Strasburg and Stanislavski, but their intensity put her off. Adler modified the two previous strategies to incorporate an important focus on imagination to better her acting without concentrating on prior experiences.

Adler trained Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, Benicio Del Toro, Mark Ruffalo, and Melanie Griffith.

Conclusion

This collection of approaches will provide you with the vocabulary to exist in a room of fellow actors and communicate by performing. While this is only a quick introduction, we hope you now know where to begin and what skills to build.

Sexypink - Another save the date.

[thatwritererinoriordan]

I started reading Knife, and the Griffiths-Rushdies met on May Day, just like Howl Jenkins Pendragon and Sophie Hatter.

Right before the party where they met, he was having a drink at a hotel bar with Marlon James, the Jamaican novelist with the beautiful speaking voice. (Marlon James and his editor did a podcast where you can hear their voices talking about classic books.)

RE: end-of-year book ask: 2, 3, 4, 6, 19, 25

Did you reread anything? What?

I'm a chronic rereader, so yes. I reread In the Woods (Tana French), The Likeness (Tana French), The Bloody Chamber (Angela Carter), Ballad (Maggie Stiefvater), Arcadia (Tom Stoppard), Flyaway (Kathleen Jennings), The Master Letters (Lucie Brock-Broido), Mr. Fox (Helen Oyeyemi), The Scorpio Races (Maggie Stiefvater), and Midnight Riot (Ben Aaronovitch). This is honestly a pretty low number of rereads for me—I read a lot of new stuff this year and didn’t reread as much as I sometimes do.

What were your top five books of the year?

You’re getting six, sorry!

Bring Up the Bodies (Hilary Mantel)

Menewood (Nicola Griffith)

My Cousin Rachel (Daphne Du Maurier)

The Vaster Wilds (Lauren Groff)

The Citadel of The Autarch (Gene Wolfe)

Chain-Gang All-Stars (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah)

Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?

So much. Ways of Seeing (John Berger), The Essex Serpent (Sarah Perry), The Memory Theater (Karin Tidbeck), Freshwater (Akweke Emezi), The Bluest Eye (Toni Morrison), Beloved (Toni Morrison), The Chandelier (Clarice Lispector), Trust (Hernan Diaz), and Black Leopard, Red Wolf (Marlon James) are all things I wanted to get to at some point but haven’t yet.

Did you use your library?

Yes, but not as much as I should, and I’m terrible about returning things on time.

What reading goals do you have for next year?

Read more widely and diversely!
