Vogel’s Indecent resurrects Sholem Asch’s great play, and celebrates the love, magic, and hope of the theatre even in the face of the greatest adversities. But when an English-translation was attempted on Broadway, the play-featuring the first kiss between women on a Broadway stage-proved too scandalous for the general public, and the entire cast was arrested and charged with obscenity. Indecent presents a thorough history of Asch’s masterwork, from its inception in Warsaw in 1907 to the World War II era, when it was performed as an act of artistic affirmation in an attic in. Nevertheless, it achieved great success on the stages of Europe and in the Yiddish theatre scene of downtown New York City. The story-about the daughter of a brothel owner who falls in love with one of her father’s prostitutes-was polarizing even at its first readings, with many of Asch’s fellows arising him to burn it. Indecent by Paula Vogel - San Francisco Playhouse Official Site September 22 NovemTickets: 15 100 Est. Indecent, the powerful play by Paula Vogel, sheds an eye-opening light on a little-known time when theatrical history, Jewish culture, and the frank depiction of homosexuality intersected, with explosive results. A small theatre company tells the story of the play from its inception in Poland in 1907. Indecent by Pulitzer-winning playwright Paula Vogel tells the story of Sholem Asch’s controversial play, The God of Vengeance, and the passionate artists who risked everything to bring it to the stage.

And I admit that occasionally I found Levy’s use of repetition to be clever these recurring word-plays, dialogues, and images did give a rhythm to the narrative and could occasionally serve as comedic relief. To me, it seemed that the way the story was being told was all that mattered. There is little to no depth or feeling in the story and characters of this relatively short book, but rather an intentionally oblique narrative that time and again chooses style over substance. While I’m glad to see that many of my friends and other readers were able to enjoy this latest release by Deborah Levy, I found it to be yet another example of all flash no substance. I think that from now on I might stick to Deborah Levy‘s non-fiction. For readers in want of an incisive and creative account of life in East Germany, I strongly recommend picking up something by Christa Wolf.

When a high-profile new case lands on Shaughnessys desk, it seems open and shut. Shaughnessy still thinks Gretchen got away with murder.

Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. Selected for common reading at North Lake College Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. "Paola Santiago and the River of Tears has the perfect blend of action, heart, and honesty in showing a painful world that most readers will already recognize-and proving the perfect amount of hope that they will survive and thrive. Even better, she gives readers the tremendous gift of a third way, one that shows us science and folklore aren't enemies, but rather allies, and that reason and myth are strongest when they work together."- Carlos Hernandez, award-winning author of Sal and Gabi Fix the Universe "Mejia pulls no punches in showing us the monsters-whether fantastic or all too real-that children who live on the border between two cultures face every day. Cervantes, New York Times best-selling author of THE STORM RUNNER "A clever, twisty, imaginative take on the ever-spooky folktale La Llorona. This book is a thrilling adventure from start to finish, with a bright core of emotional honesty anchoring it to reality."- Sarah Gailey, Hugo and Locus Award-winning author of River of Teeth Paola is a brilliant, furious girl who often trusts her brain but trips over her heart. " Paola Santiago and the River of Tears is just plain marvelous. The houses are built of an inferior-looking yellowish brick, and the walls are neither whitewashed nor cemented. The first block contains 6 two-apartment houses and one single-apartment house. Kirkland Rows, Springside, Parish of Dreghorn The houses have been leased by Messrs Kyle, coalmasters, Burnbank Colliery, Galston, and are mostly inhabited by their workers and families.ġ4. The row is supplied with gravitation water. There is one closet for every three tenants. There are doors on the closets, but in one case the door had been broken off and the floor of the closet was littered with filth. The closets and ash-pits are placed at the back of the houses. There are neither washing-houses nor coal-houses, and the people keep then coals below their kitchen beds. The floors are made of cement, and the walls are so damp that in one house we saw the wood of the set-in bed in the room had completely rotted and the mattress on the bed was completely destroyed. The row is formed of three blocks of houses, with six houses in each block. The houses are built of brick and face the main road. They measure approximately 8 feet by 6 feet. Each house contains a kitchen, measuring approximately 14 feet by 13 feet, and two small rooms not much larger than cupboards. This row contains eighteen houses, and is situated on the back road from Galston to Kilmarnock, about 1 1/2 miles from Galston. The memory of this event is obscured, as are the memories of much else, by a mist that hangs over the land-a mist that is actually the breath of the dragon Querig, enchanted by Merlin intentionally to repress memory. And yet it is revealed at the end of the book that there is something that haunts even their love. Some of the scenes showing their concern for each other are quite moving. The quest is that of Axl and Beatrice, the central characters, to reach the village of their son the great love is that between the inseparable and devoted couple. The Buried Giant also involves a quest and a great love, but both of these are different from the quests and courtly love affairs of medieval Arthurian romance. Arthur’s establishing peace between Britons and Saxons is a key plot element, as is a rather impressive spell cast in the recent past by Merlin, who does not appear in the novel. Among the characters are an errant Gawain, who remains alive after Arthur’s passing, and a farmer named Axl, who was once a member of Arthur’s retinue, a fact that comes to light only gradually and piecemeal-which is the way the characters and the readers learn much of what is important in the novel. Though set shortly after Arthur’s death, Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant is rightly considered an Arthurian novel. |
