Ludwik, the student narrator, comes out at a time when gays had no role models to follow. It is a love story between two young men, one more invested in the relationship than the other, and why they drifted apart in the tumultuous politics of 1980s Poland. Many English-language publishing houses competed for the rights to his manuscript. How then must he find life in Catholic, conservative Poland? He has been critical of a French gay publication for not treating gays as ordinary people. He writes of his debt to a London writing group even though the narrative is set in Poland. His sensibilities mark him as a product of multicultural, super-diverse, LGBTQ-receptive England. Born in Germany, Jedrowski earned a law degree at Cambridge, attended the University of Paris, and now is based in Poland surveying national identity and fashion.įluent in Polish and four other languages, the question nevertheless arises whether the novel could only have been conceived in England. Tomasz Jedrowski’s parents migrated from Poland to western Germany as the short-lived Solidarity period was crushed by the Polish Communists. He may brim with overconfidence about what life was like back then but may miss many of the subtleties. 195 pages.Īn author who wishes to recall a history known to his parents, but outside his own experience, often has a hard time getting it right. Their boozing proves ruinous, and they rampage around the countryside like a barbaric mob their grotesque anti-Semitism taints the whole story. Some bibliophiles in Kyiv claim Mykola Hohol (the Ukrainian version of his name) as their own.Īs for Taras and the Cossacks, they make pretty delinquent poster boys. “I myself don’t know what soul I have,” he told a friend. Gogol, an outsider even in his pomp, sometimes agreed. Some critics said the writer had a “double soul”, both Russian and Ukrainian. Yet neither Gogol nor “Taras Bulba” quite pull off their nationalist shtick. He became fanatical, went mad, and died in 1852. In “Dead Souls” he famously portrayed Russia as a horse-drawn troika barrelling through history. Like his protagonist’s, Gogol’s politics grew more nationalistic over time. As the play progresses, the paths of the three characters diverge: Ruth has a nervous collapse while attempting to stand up to Beatrice, who, driven to the verge of insanity by her deep-seated enmity, impulsively kills the girls' pet rabbit Peter and wallows in her own perceived insignificance. Over the course of the play, Beatrice constantly tries to stamp out any opportunities Tillie has of succeeding, due to her own lack of success in life. She is, however, constantly thwarted by her mother Beatrice, who is self-centered and abusive, and by her extroverted and unstable sister Ruth, who submits to her mother's will. Shy Matilda Hunsdorfer, nicknamed Tillie, prepares an experiment involving marigolds raised from seeds exposed to radioactivity for her science fair. Summary: The play revolves around a dysfunctional family consisting of single mother Beatrice and her two daughters, Ruth and Tillie, who try to cope with their abysmal status in life. The whole concept is fucked up - the more sinful life you lead, the better off you are in Resurrection (which is the ''official name'' of this place). Yeah, what a fucking bitch, right? That's where you're supposed to feel sorry for Heinrich, by the way. I recommend skipping the author's prefaces in general, if you just want to enjoy the comic books for what they are and not bother with the author's personal political and moral litanies, which leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth (unless you're a Nazi, of course) - especially when Heinrich's ex-lover, a Jewish woman, gets shit for using Heinrich and gaining power over him through sex and manipulation because she didn't want to be gassed. I ''like'' Otto because he's a charming badass (still a Nazi, I know), but don't go around suggesting your readers should feel sympathy towards Nazis. The author himself said in one of the introductions that the MC was somehow likeable, as far as Nazis go. The main character, Heinrich, (a knight who's called ''honorable'' on multiple instances) is a Nazi. There you go, a sentence I'd never thought I'd say. My favourite character in this book so far might be Otto von Todt (yes, that's his name), a former devoted Nazi soldier. Today we’ll be discussing, and a little bit in haste of course, because I haven’t got much time to do this, but we’ll devote the whole class to the Vita nova or nuova, as it is called which is Dante’s first work. Yale University An Introduction to Vita nuova and Its Autobiographical Structure Sterling Professor in the Humanities for Italian This relationship is then placed in its larger cultural context to highlight the Vita nuova‘s anticipation of the Divine Comedy. The novelty of the poet’s final resolution is tied to the relationship he discovers between love and knowledge. Medieval theories of love and the diverse poetics they inspired are discussed in contrast. The poet’s love for Beatrice is explored as the catalyst for his search for a new poetic voice. This lecture is devoted to the Vita nuova, Dante’s autobiographical account of his “double apprenticeship” in poetry and love. By Henry Holiday, 1883 / Walker Art Gallery Dante meets Beatrice at Ponte Santa Trinità, inspired by La Vita Nuova (Beatrice is in white). She was more curious than Ferdinand about the new learning, but she sought it not to surrender to its magic but to use it in the work she had to do … unlike Ferdinand, she was restless, not out of simple itch for power, but because God's work is never done and it is laid upon the king to do God's work.”“Castile,” he added, “was not a prize but a sword.”It's an evocative but not particularly attractive picture, and Kirstin Downey, in her very engaging new book Isabella: The Warrior Queen, seems only sketchily tempted to quarrel with it. “Isabella,” Mattingly wrote, “though she did work for the future, belonged, like Castile, to the past. Talese/Doubleday, 2014When writing his great biography of Catherine of Aragon back in 1941, Garrett Mattingly spared a moment to talk about her illustrious mother, Isabella of Castile, who'd joined with Ferdinand of Aragon to drive the Moors out of Spain and “reconquer” it for the Catholic faith. Isabella: The Warrior Queenby Kirstin DowneyNan A. Two girls full of plans, fifteen and seventeen years old in the middle of nowhere. “Whenever I hear the word danger, I see Marlena and me staring into the mouth of that U-Haul in the winter hour between twilight and dark. The impetus for the telling comes from a phone call when Sal, Marlena’s younger brother, calls Cat, she launches into the retelling of her Marlena. There’s no unreliable narrator, no tricks- there’s a 30-something year old woman replaying, again, her best friend’s death. In the opening pages of Marlena, Cat, a first person narrator, invites the reader warmly into her story. “Do it, I think, do it, and my stomach’s in my throat but I’m so tired of being the one to say no, be careful, stop.” ThatPetra on Overrated, Disappointing Books Intentionallivingg on The Golden State by Lydia Kies…Īlexandrareads on Her Body and Other Parties by… Intentionallivingg on Overrated, Disappointing Books PARASITE: Trapped in A Broken Promise (Parasite Movie Review)Įllenore on Adventure Time: You Helped Me….
