    04_100547 ch01.qxp 3/14/07 8:00 PM Page 1 1 The Savannah Experience If you have time to visit only one city in the Southeast, make it Savannah. It’s that special. The movie Forrest Gump may have put the city squarely on the tourist map, but nothing changed the face of Savannah more than the 1994 publication of John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The impact has been unprecedented, bringing in millions in revenue as thousands flock to see the sights from the bestseller and the 1997 movie directed by Clint Eastwood. In fact, Savannah tourism has nearly doubled since publication of what’s known locally as The Book. Even after all this time, some locals still earn their living off The Book’s fallout, hawking postcards, walking tours, T-shirts, and in some cases their own careers, as in the case of the Lady Chablis, the drag queen in The Book who played herself in the film. “What’s special about Savannah?” we asked an old-timer. “Why, here we even have water fountains for dogs,” he said. The free spirit, the passion, and even the decadence of Savannah resemble those of Key West or New Orleans rather than the Bible Belt down-home “Red State” interior of Georgia. In that sense, it’s as different from the rest of the state as New York City is from upstate New York. Savannah—pronounce it with a drawl—conjures up all the clichéd images of the Deep South: live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, stately antebellum mansions, mint juleps sipped on the veranda, magnolia trees, peaceful marshes, horse-drawn carriages, ships sailing up the river (though no longer laden with cotton), and evenCOPYRIGHTED General Sherman, no one’s favorite MATERIAL military hero here.

UNPACKING PACKAGE DEALS: SEPARATE SPHERES ARE NOT THE ANSWER MARY ANNE CASE* In 1995, Francisco Valdes and I each published lengthy and detailed conceptual analyses of the ways sex, gender, and sexual orientation have been conflated in American law and the ways in which they ought to be disaggregated.' Professor Valdes's critique of this conflation in American law was balanced by a chapter in which he favorably compared Native American cultural approaches to InterSEXionality2 with Euro-American ones. According to Valdes: [T]he Native American example not only disproves the Euro- American sex/gender system's sense of essentialism, it also can spark our imagination and expand our horizons as we strive to envision post-conflationary and non-conflationary relations that, ultimately, are more in accord with the self-professed ideals and values of this nation and its laws.3 In this article, I take issue with the suggestion that the Native American model Valdes describes is a more desirable, more liberatory alternative, more consistent with the values embodied in American law.

    Acclaim for JOHN BERENDT’s MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL “Uproarious … a rich, irresistible mix of snobbery, mayhem, sex, mind-boggling parochialism and mildewed magnolias. …A glorious vanity fair of human folly.” —The Boston Globe “One of the most unusual books to come this way in a long time and one of the best…. There is every reason to celebrate [t]his surpris- ing, wonderful book.” 3/1013 —Jonathan Yardley, The Wash- ington Post Book World “The best nonfiction novel since In Cold Blood and a lot more en- tertaining…. Berendt’s book has everything going for it—snobbism, ruthless power, voodoo, local color, and a totally evil estheticism. I read it till dawn.” —Edmund White “Raunchy, witty, urbane and scan- dalous … a romp through many worlds—high and low…. For a good time read this book.” —Houston Chronicle “Berendt works up his material like a chef on a devilish mission. The result is a feast all right…. He 4/1013 has the old money down as dead- on as the new—as the no money, for that matter. And here is the highest praise I can muster: Wish I’d written the damn thing.” —Gregory Jaynes, Esquire “Rip-roaringly funny and compel- ling….A veritable Bent-Spoon River of oddballs, hustlers, so- ciopaths and historic preservationists.” —San Francisco Chronicle JOHN BERENDT MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL John Berendt has been the editor of New York magazine and an Esquire columnist.

  • The Cis Gaze and Its Others (For Shola)
    In a much-cited essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” Laura Mulvey gave us a useful way of thinking about how we see: the male gaze.1 Her examples are all from classic Hollywood cinema, but the term has a wider application. For Mulvey, the spectator’s point of view is structured by heterosexual male desire. 01/12 Cinema offers the particular pleasure of that desire in seeing without being seen. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThe male gaze sees through the male protagonist on the screen, misrecognizing itself through his conquests of worlds and women. But this pleasure is undercut by an anxiety: the woman he desires is desirable because, in Freudian language, she lacks something. He has McKenzie Wark the phallus, and she does not. She might take it from him! That she is castrated is desirable. That she might be castrating is not desirable – at The Cis Gaze least for the male gaze of a straight cis man. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊPlenty of screen theory also plays out what and Its Others spectatorship is like for cis women, or for gay people. Mulvey even suggested elsewhere that (for Shola) there’s a kind of transsexuality to the female spectator within the male gaze when she misrecognizes herself in the male protagonist.2 I want to set that aside to ask about the trans woman spectator. Who does she become in the structure of the male gaze? To the trans woman spectator, the woman on screen that is both castrated and castrating might be the very thing to be desired. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI want to focus not so much on the male gaze, but on the cis gaze – a looking that harbors anxiety about the slippages and transformations between genders, but which also harbors desires for those transitions as well.

It appears his original plan may have been to write this book as a travelogue. Due to all the hype, I went out of my way to get this book. Instead, John Berendt is providing us with so much background material that the local tourist board ought to thank him. Or even better, unless you're a big Spacey or Cusack fan just read Berendt's charming piece of nonfiction. Williams congratulates Kelso on proving his innocence. Sightseeing Passes. Although his writing is not spectacular, it is rather mundane and average, his fondness for Savannah and its denizens comes across the page and envelops the reader. Martin Sinderman. Edit Did You Know? It all sounds a bit too good to be true--based on a series of real events from the 's-- and maybe it is. Friends and foes alike are now witnessing the months up to the trial which will determine if Jim Williams is a cold-blooded murderer or an innocent man, only guilty of defending his life, and even the social interest dwindle some in Savannah, the readers are following the next 8 years with trial and retrials.
