ISBN 978-1-936003-37-2 (tel. 718/556-9410) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: With pride, Blood Moon announces that PINK TRIANGLE, (a triple-play biography about the feuds and private lives of three of America’s most revered writers) hit the celebrity spotlight this week, three weeks before its official release, thanks to a double-page exposé in THE GLOBE and in news stories that ap- peared in at least four of the most respected newspapers of Britain. Readers of THE GLOBE, one of America’s most popular tabloids, read about what it defined as “an ex- plosive new book” for the first time in a two-page spread in the edition that hit newstands nationwide on January 16, 2014. In the U.K., The Times, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, and the Daily Express picked up the story line, spreading news and anecdotes about the book, and in many cases a replica of the book’s cover, to mil- lions of readers worldwide. According to Blood Moon’s president, Danforth Prince, “We’re struck by the ironies of all this--PINK TRI- ANGLE seems like a tinderbox waiting to explode, thanks to Blood Moon’s exposé of this unholy trio of great American writers.

  • Who's Afraid of the Documentary Film
    Thadi Times Thadi Times A Short Story By Dr. Ravi Bhatia Having spent the majority of my 28 years in the hospital campus it wasn’t unusual for me to be quite familiar with the surroundings. As a young child I used to accompany my father to the fruit vendor across the road, often I would find medical students clad in their aprons with their stethoscopes hung carelessly around the shoulder clustered around the teashop. On further enquiry I came to know the teashop was called Thadi. As I grew up, my interactions with medical students increased and slowly the word Thadi found a place in my jargon. I would often dream of sitting on the Thadi and having a cup of tea. My father would rebuke me by saying that one has to burn a lot of midnight oil to be eligible for that rustic charm. I did burn midnight oil but as luck would have I had to go Poona for doing my medical studies as a result of which I was deprived of this rustic charm. AFMC being a defence establishment there wasn’t anything like a Thadi instead we had a huge canteen with well-lined chairs and uniformed waiters. A distant cry from the roadside Thadi. Canteen was quite often a misnomer in AFMC as one had the CSD wherein one could buy everything sundry, the wet canteen wherein one could gossip over a cup of tea, the cafeteria where one could get a hot cup of coffee and a delicious bun bhurji even in the wee hours of morning.

This woman was very, very wise and knew well the cost of diamonds and the ways of the world. And she looked upon her daughters and her ample bosom swelled with pride. One daughter, she saw, was a great beauty who was soon named Miss Hungary. And once more her mother was proud. A second daughter married well and became the Countess of Warsaw and told her sisters to refer to her as “Her Excellency,” and again the mother was proud. The third, the youngest and blondest of the three girls, seeing that her homeland seethed with turmoil as the world prepared for war, quickly married Garbo’s chiropractor and fled to the mythical land called Hollywood.

  • Casting Discordance and Difference (Keval Arora)
    Casting Discordance and Difference (Keval Arora) Keval Arora’s Kolumn Casting Discordance and Difference When speaking to students about basic differences between written and performed narratives, I find their responses falling into mainly two categories. Some prefer the novel for the freedom it grants readers by virtue of the story being embodied purely as words on a page, as verbal stimuli that allow readers to visualise fictional worlds through their own imagination. Others argue in favour of the challenge posed by performed narratives in theatre and cinema because the non- verbalised quality of visual data permits considerable latitude (and difficulty) in ascribing meanings and words to that which is being shown. It is not possible or necessary to reconcile these responses because discovering greater pleasure in one over the other is a matter of temperament more than anything else. As for the argument that data transmitted through visuality allows considerable latitude in interpretation, one needs to remember that interpretive latitude is not merely a consequence of the visual nature of performance. After all, words and speech are also vital factors in the stories that theatre and cinema offer us. It is the absence of an overarching perspective in the guise of an authorial voice that crucially produces our sensation of being left to our own devices when we watch a performance. Choices are of course exercised by the director, the actors and the several designers in shaping the performative text, but finally spectators respond to these choices after their own fashion, sifting, digesting and naming things according to their own proclivities and experience.

  • Griffin, Merv (1925-2007) by Craig Kaczorowski
    Griffin, Merv (1925-2007) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2012 glbtq, Inc. Merv Griffin. Photograph Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com by Linda Bisset. Image appears under the Creative Commons Merv Griffin was a popular band singer, the host of his own successful talk show for Attribution 2.0 Generic over 20 years, the creator and producer of such long-running television game shows as License. Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, and a wealthy media mogul. Although Griffin married and reportedly had affairs with several women, including Judy Garland, his bisexuality was apparently an open secret, especially within the show business communities of Los Angles and New York. He was married to Julann Wright from 1958 until they divorced in 1976. They met when Wright was a secretary-assistant to television personality Robert Q. Lewis. The couple had a son, Anthony Patrick, born in 1959. The divorce was officially attributed to "irreconcilable differences." In an autobiography, Griffin described the divorce as coming at "a pivotal time in my career, one of uncertainty and constant doubt. So much attention was being focused on me that my marriage felt the strain." After the divorce, Griffin was publicly, if perhaps not romantically, linked to several female celebrities, particularly actress Eva Gabor, and was a close friend of former First Lady Nancy Reagan. He served as an honorary pall bearer at the funeral of President Ronald Reagan in 2004. Griffin remained rigidly in the closet. He expertly, and often jocularly, sidestepped any questions in interviews concerning his private life or sexuality.
