Hendrickson takes the quirky view that writing a kind of biography of Hemingway using the old man's love of his boat, the Pilar, and everything it connects him to will work. It does, in fascinating and unpredictable ways. PH writes, on every page, with an urgency that fully catches you up in his obsession. PH's research is not merely relentless, it is joyful, and it is What a book! PH's Hemingways Boat: Everything He Loved in Life is not merely relentless, it is joyful, and it is this quality, really, that sets the book apart as a reading experience. Everything is recreated, plunged into, imagined and reimagined, with a depth and intensity that grab you by the throat and never let go. Obviously, the book centers on Hem but it also presents side biographies of little-known friends of Hem's who serve to illuminate the great man's contradictory qualities. Of course I use the phrase "great man" ironically. How could you not? Hemingway is easily one of the most tragically and artistically compelling figures ever to bestride the world stage. He was a great writer and a terrible one; he was a staunch friend and a vicious rejecter; he was a loving father and an absent one. He was all these things at once, sometimes on the same day. The man's enduring magnetism comes first from the art and the achievement How does a young man in his twenties write those short stories? There is at the heart of Hem's best work a profound sense of the death-in-life and the and Lost that animates everything. His answer to this, on and off the page, was a passionate living and dying every day. Even as we turn our eyes away from the carnage, it is riveting The latter both made him and destroyed him. It fed his hubris which, eventually, swallowed him whole. He offers up the man in all his stunning complexities and larger-than-lifeness. You would not have wanted to be his friend when he turned on you as he turned on so many but here you grasp why so many were drawn to him anyway. Actually, he was one of the most profoundly human and spiritually powerful creatures I have ever Hemingways Boat: Everything He Loved in Life. Always the beauty. Always the ruin. Always 1934-1961. View all 5 comments. First impression Unfortunately, this view was not sustained as I continued reading. 1934-1961 about pages, my enthusiasm began to wane. There is much repetition and a confusing lack of focus. The timeline and cast of characters has become very jumbled. I have the sense the author has lost control of the material and is just pumping out everything he knows. Yet, every once in a while there is a fascinating First impression Yet, every once in a while there is a fascinating story. Almost pages to go. I think some serious editing would have made "Hemingway's Boat" much more readable and memorable. I am and Lost thoroughly bored and confused by the frequent leaping from decade to decade and character to character that I'm not interested enough to do the and Lost to figure out the connections and point of what I confess I'm now only skimming. Finally finished. Ernest Hemingway is one of and Lost best writers and he Hemingways Boat: Everything He Loved in Life a fascinating life, full of triumph, failure and tragedy. A biographer, it seems to me, would need to approach a life of Hemingway much as a historical novelist might, with focus and selectivity. But while "Hemingway's Boat" contains many interesting anecdotes, my conclusion is that the author was simply overwhelmed by the huge amount of material 1934-1961 has obviously studied and absorbed. Believe me, I know the feeling, having succumbed to it more than once in and Lost my own historical novels. Fortunately, several of my early readers pointed out to me that it was not necessary, and indeed distracting, to write everything I knew. View all 11 comments. Mar 01, Quo rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Hemingway fans; anyone interested in a biography of a major American figure. Shelves: reviewedpersonal- identityinterpersonal-dynamics. Paul And Lost wonderful book, Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost is less a traditional biography than a sort of non-clinical excavation of the author's psyche, using a wide range of sources, all manner of people who intersected with Hemingway, sometimes only briefly and using Hemingway's boat, the "Pilar", 1934-1961 a metaphor for the author. Sailing was a different culture. You could formulate it like this: a sailboat would always be to a motor launch as fly-fishing is to night crawlers. Houk rank high among them. While much of the extended character study is focused on the boat, Hendrickson invests the energy of a good literary detective in sorting through many other components of Hemingway's life. Thus, I think this book might be of interest even if one has never read one of the famous author's celebrated novels. Among the points of focus beyond the "Pilar" are Hemingway's wives, editors, fellow writers, celebrities and his children, including his favored son "Gigi", whose life initially had the most promise but which ended most tragically, still in search of his essential identity late in life. Paul Hendrickson finds particular meaning in some of Hemingway's fishing logs from the "Pilar" It's as if he's creating a raw, immediate, documentary novel within the larger novel of his life, a work with its own storytelling arc. Somewhere in the background you can hear the revolutionary turmoil in the streets of Havana. If there's the occasional fishing victory, there's more often the palpable disappointment. Hendrickson sums this up by saying, "as with all of Hemingway's work, you end up feeling more than you necessarily Hemingways Boat: Everything He Loved in Life another core And Lost writing value. Sep 20, Gary rated it it was amazing. Really enjoyed it!! The last section not so much I highly recommend it. Oct 22, M. Sarki rated it it and Lost amazing Shelves: 5-star-wonders. The biography is presented in a scientific, almost astronomical, technique known as "averted vision" and is described by Hendrickson as an idea that "sometimes you can see the essence of a thing more clearly if you are not looking at it directly.

  • PLAGUED by FIRE the Dreams and Furies of Frank Lloyd Wright by Paul Hendrickson
    News from Contact: James Meader Vintage Books Executive Director of Publicity A Division of Penguin Random House 212-414-3492 | [email protected] NOW IN PAPERBACK — September 22, 2020 PLAGUED BY FIRE The Dreams and Furies of Frank Lloyd Wright by Paul Hendrickson Frank Lloyd Wright has long been known as a rank egotist who held in contempt almost everything aside from his own genius. Harder to detect, but no less real, is a Wright who fully understood, and suffered from, the choices he made. This is the Wright whom Paul Hendrickson reveals in this masterful biography: the Wright who was haunted by his father, about whom he told the greatest lie of his life. And this, we see, is the Wright of many other neglected aspects of his story: his close, and perhaps romantic, relationship with friend and early mentor Cecil Corwin; the eerie, unmistakable role of fires in his life; the connection between the 1921 Black Wall Street massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the murder of his mistress, her two children, and four others at his beloved Wisconsin home. In showing us Wright’s facades along with their cracks, Hendrickson helps us form a fresh, deep, and more human understanding of the man. With prodigious research, unique vision, and his ability to make sense of a life in ways at once unexpected, poetic, and undeniably brilliant, he has given us the defining book on Wright.

  • Norman's Triumph: the Transcendent Language of Self- Immolation
    Norman's Triumph: The Transcendent Language of Self- Immolation Nicholas Patler Quaker History & Literature (QS-HS 107) Bethany Theological Seminary/Earlham School of Religion Reprinted with permission from Quaker History, Fall 2015 On a chilly November day in 1965, a thirty-one year old Quaker pacifist named Norman Morrison, a father of three, left his home in Baltimore with his infant daughter Emily and drove forty miles to Washington, DC. Once there, as dusk settled over the capitol city, he drove to the Pentagon where he drenched himself in kerosene and struck a match on his shoe. It is not clear if he had handed Emily to someone standing nearby or had sat her down out of harms way. As Norman burned alive, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, looking out of his office window only yards away, was horrified. He watched as Pentagon attaches rushed to try to put out the flames, scorching themselves in the process. 1 Sometime earlier that afternoon, Norman had mailed a letter from the Washington-area to his wife Anne in Baltimore: "Dearest Anne, Please don't condemn me ... For weeks, even months, I have been praying only that I be shown what I must do. This morning with no warning, I was shown ... Know that I love thee but must act for the children in the Priest's village." This latter reference was in regards to an article that Norman had read that morning in which a Catholic priest described graphically "women and children blown to bits" from U.S. bombing and napalm raids on Vietnamese villages.

Environmental impacts are described in terms of the various aspects of the affected environment which would be expected to change over time. The environmental impacts expected fi'om the No Action Altemative are those associated with maintaining the status quo. The impacts from the N0 Action Altemative are discussed first to provide a basis of comparison for the impacts expected firom the other altematives. The environmental impacts that would be expected if any other altemative were to be implemented are described as a comparison to the impacts of No Action — whether the impacts would be the same or different.

The Cruel Radiance of the Obvious by Tom Rankin Photography in its finest and most decisive moments is about those tired or ignored or unseen parts of our lives, the mundane and worn paths that sit before us so firmly that we cease to notice. Tenant farmer, Alabama, 1936, photographed by Dorothea Lange, courtesy of the Collections of the Library of Congress. 3 “ am at war with the obvious,” wrote William Eggleston as he reflected on his own photography in a brief afterword to his book The Democratic Forest.1 Like other seemingly simple, terse dictums, one could initially find Eggleston’s words clever but all too evasive. I increasingly come back to his words, however— or, rather,I the words come back to me—and see them as a concise and profound summation of the stance of the visionary photographer, as a definition of the role of the truest of artists. Photography in its finest and most decisive moments is about those tired or ignored or unseen parts of our lives, the mundane and worn paths that sit before us so firmly that we cease to notice. It is, we might say, about rebuilding our sight in the face of blindness, of recovering our collective vision.

  • 'The Finest Life You Ever Saw'
    ‘The Finest Life You Ever Saw’ OCTOBER 13, 2011 James Salter Hemingway’s Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost, 1934–1961 by Paul Hendrickson Knopf, 531 pp., $30.00 Ernest Hemingway, the second oldest of six children, was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899 and lived until 1961, thus representing the first half of the twentieth century. He more than represented it, he embodied it. He was a national and international hero, and his life was mythic. Though none of his novels is set in his own country— they take place in France, Spain, Italy, or in the sea between Cuba and Key West—he is a quintessentially American writer and a fiercely moral one. His father, Clarence Hemingway, was a highly principled doctor, and his mother Grace was equally high-minded. They were religious, strict—they even forbade dancing. From his father, who loved the natural world, Hemingway learned in childhood to fish and shoot, and a love of these things shaped his life along with a third thing, writing. Almost from the first there is his distinct voice. In his journal of a camping trip he took with a friend when he was sixteen years old, he wrote of trout fishing, “Great fun fighting them in the dark in the deep swift river.” His style was later said to have been influenced by Sherwood Anderson, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, journalism, and the forced economy of transatlantic cables, but he had his own poetic gift and also the intense desire to give to the reader the full and true feeling of what happened, to make the reader feel it had happened to him.

This course deals with topics in the political, social, and cultural history of the United States between the years 1877 to roughly 1980. The course readings have been selected in order to expose students to a broad range of approaches to the study of American history. We will explore the types of sources used by historians, the evolution of historiographical debates, the challenges of writing history, the accomplishments and the occasional failings of the scholars we will be reading. The course is designed as a seminar. Each week, students will arrive in class having completed the assigned reading, and prepared to discuss it with the rest of the group. So much of a seminar’s success depends on you! Come to class ready to engage in a lively debate. Don’t worry if you didn’t understand an aspect of the readings – we will work this out together, and chances are, others had questions as well. To get the most out of this course, read carefully, listen to others in the class, and be confident in your own assessments of the readings. Some students become very anxious about the prospect of speaking up in class – don’t worry, we will work on this together and you will develop more confidence as time goes on. Students will be graded on their active participation in discussion, occasional presentations, and written work. Rules and Regulations Students are reminded that all written work submitted for the course must be original.
