The problem with Nabokov Vladimir Nabokov's unfinished novella, The Original of Laura, is being published despite the author's instructions that it be destroyed after his death. Martin Amis confronts the tortuous questions posed by a genius in decline Martin Amis The Guardian, Saturday 14 November 2009 larger | smaller Vladimir Nabokov in Switzerland, in about 1975. Photograph: Horst Tappe/Getty Images Language leads a double life – and so does the novelist. You chat with family and friends, you attend to your correspondence, you consult menus and shopping lists, you observe road signs (LOOK LEFT), and so on. Then you enter your study, where language exists in quite another form – as the stuff of patterned artifice. Most writers, I think, would want to go along with Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), when he reminisced in 1974: The Original of Laura: (Dying is Fun) a Novel in Fragments (Penguin Modern Classics) by Vladimir Nabokov 304pp, Penguin Classics, £25 1 of 11 11/15/09 12:59 AM Martin Amis on Vladimir Nabokov's work | Books | The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/nov/14/vladimir-naboko...

I regarded Paris, with its gray-toned days and charcoal nights, merely as the chance setting for the most authentic and faithful joys of my life: the coloured phrase in my mind under the drizzle, the white page under the desk lamp awaiting me in my humble home." Well, the creative joy is authentic; and yet it isn't faithful (in common with pretty well the entire cast of Nabokov's fictional women, creative joy, in the end, is sadistically fickle).

  • Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
    Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Scultori and Ghisi Engraving Enterprise in Sixteenth-Century Mantua and Beyond
    “OLD IN SUBSTANCE AND NEW IN MANNER”: THE SCULTORI AND GHISI ENGRAVING ENTERPRISE IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MANTUA AND BEYOND by Hilary Letwin A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2013 Part 1 Abstract: This dissertation seeks to reframe the way in which the prints of the incisori Mantovani, Giovanni Battista (1503-1575), Adamo (1530?-1587) and Diana Scultori (1547-1612), and Giorgio Ghisi (1520-1582), are examined. Previously, their contributions in the printmaking process, largely engraving prints that are after the designs of other artists, have been dismissed as reproductive. This dissertation examines the ways in which these printmakers worked to elevate their engravings from simply reproductive to creative works of art in their own right. Their engravings, which certainly took inspiration from the designs of Giulio Romano, among others, were not the product of a close collaboration between a master and the engravers. Instead, the engravers appear to have worked fairly autonomously, in Mantua and elsewhere, engaging with and manipulating their source material, experimenting technically and in the design of their prints, and finally questioning the role of engraving within the greater framework of artistic practice in the sixteenth century. Chapter one examines the work of Giovanni Battista, who used printmaking as a creative outlet, seeking a freedom not possible in his other sculptural projects that were carried out according to the specifications of patrons and artistic masters. His engravings can be seen as an attempt to “conquer” these outside influences. Chapter two considers the prints and career of Adamo Scultori, who used his prints to comment on the “enslavement” of reproductive printmakers to their sources.

  • Clytemnestra's Daughters by Christopher Shorr
    Clytemnestra's Daughters by Christopher Shorr Based on the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides Christopher Shorr 1010 N. New Street Bethlehem, PA 18018 [email protected] 484-695-3564 © 2009 Christopher Shorr The Plot This play at times follows traditional plots, but moves between Euripides’, Sophocles’ and Aeschylus’ versions of the story of the house of Atreus, and at other times takes new turns. Special Thanks Special thanks to Sycamore Rouge, Moravian College, the Southampton Playwriting Conference and Touchstone Theatre, for their assistance in the development of the script, and to Rebecca Kolacki and Alanah Cervantes for their research assistance. Structure Divided into three acts, the play should be performed in two halves, separated by an intermission: Act I (Iphigenia); Intermission; Act II (Chrysothemis) and Act III (Electra) Music The play begins and ends with a few lines of a song. Although written with the 1937 song “Someday My Prince Will Come” by Larry Morey and Frank Churchill in mind, it may be difficult to secure rights to this song for performance. If that is the case, another song could be used. Something wistful and nostalgic with fairytale themes would be ideal. There are plenty of songs in the public domain that could work. Perhaps the 1917 song “I'm Always Chasing Rainbows” by Joe McCarthy and Harry Carroll: At the end of the rainbow there's happiness, And to find it how often I've tried, But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase, And my dreams have all been denied. Why have I always been a failure? What can the reason be? I wonder if the world's to blame, I wonder if it could be me.

  • Vanya and Sonya and Mash and Spike: the Study Guide
    Vanya and Sonya and Mash and Spike: The Study Guide Meet the Playwright Christopher Durang, a playwright and actor, is a published writer who typically crafts comedies – satire, dark comedy, parody, or absurdist. The Idiots of Karamazov, co-authored with Yale classmate Albert Innaurato, was his first professional production at the Yale Repertory Theatre and featured then student Meryl Streep. Next, in 1975, his play The Nature and Purpose of the Universe was presented off-off Broadway at the Direct Theatre. A History of the American Film was a play that was produced by the Eugene O’Neill National Playwriting Conference in 1976, and then had three back-to-back productions at the Hartford Stage Company, Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and Arena Stage in Washington D.C. Following this “triple premiere” it moved to Broadway and earned Durang a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical. In 1979, Durang and Sigourney Weaver rewrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, which became a cult success that satirized the work of Brecht and Weill with mishmashes of current shows. The musical garnered both Durang and Weaver Drama Desk nominations for Best Performer in a Musical. Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You was another success. Despite a rough start in raising money to move it to a commercial production, Andre Bishop re-presented the play and garnered favor from critics, moving the play to Off-Broadway for a run lasting over two years. He soon had several more plays published and performed, including Beyond Therapy (1981), Baby With The Bathwater (1983), The Marriage of Bette and Boo (1985).

The brief memoir is abridged and adapted from the biographical sketch by his brother Mihail. Chekhov's letters to his wife after his mar- riage have not as yet been published. \ BIOGKAPIIICAL SKETCH In 1841 a serf belonging to a Russian nobleman pur- chased iiis freedom and the freedom of his family for 3,500 roubles, i)eing at the rate of 700 roubles a soul, with one daughter, Ahixandra, thrown in for nothing. The grandson of this serf was Anton Chekhov, the author; the son of the nobleman was Tcherlkov, the Tolstoyan and friend of Tolstoy.
