Isabel A llende C hile's Exiled W riter
Novelist Isabel Allende's stories speak of "private pain and public passion," said the Los Angeles Times. Allende's version of her own writing is this: she writes about "lovers embracing in front of an abandoned mine where they have just found 15 bodies murdered by the regime." Allende will present a lecture titled "The Voice of a Latin American Woman Writer," on Friday, November 4 at 8 PM in Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall.
This magical realism which pervades Allende's novels makes them thoroughly exciting, and at the same time deeply political. Her work rises out of a need for human solidarity and a commitment to the future, as well as a healthy respect for passion and less overtly "political" kinds of involvement.
Tickets for Isabel Allende's lecture can be purchased in advance at the A&L Ticket Office; any remaining tickets will be sold at the door (UCSB students: $3).

Set in a one-horse Australian town during the 60s, the movie builds on an adolescent love triangle in volving Danny (Noah Taylor), Freya (Loene Carmen), VINEGAR and Trevor (Ben Mendelson).

SPEWIN’ DOO-DOO Well, with midterm, court appearances, and STY’S (strangely transmitted viruses), we’re really under the weather here at A and E. Mental stress and physical health being so intertwined, we’re still begging all you would-be media stars for some relief. Thank goodness the only classes that don’t grade punctuation are in the English Department (poetic/ironic justice). They know that it’s only literary masturbation, the only practical purpose being it keeps us off the streets. There are a few things happening, though, so listen up.... First off, this weekend at the Dorothy Chandler is cellist Yo- Yo Ma, be there.... Siouxsie and the Banshees have accessible-ized their goth-rock sound for the non-hallucinogated masses, but I figure they’ll be thumpin’ the classics next Wednesday (who named this day?) Nov. 2 at the Ventura Theatre, 26 S. Chestnut at 8 p.m.... Even better, this Sunday you can escape the depraved invaders by ensuring a local sellout for The Cramps, playin’ their bad music for all you bad people, at the rad Grad.... tomorrow night Neil Young is at the Arlington Theater in S.B., rock V rhythm good times guaranteed.... Alt who saw COVERUP (over 1000, thank you) and wondered what happened to the Christie Institute’s Contragate —. La Penca Lawsuit can go hear about it Saturday, 2 p.m., Choice’s Bookstore, 906 Garden in S.B.... PLEASE, if you want to see the best movie of the year, go check A World Apart at the Riviera; not only is it the most responsible and realistically shocking movie that’s been made about South Africa, but the acting is beyond compare.... Really folks, we’re working on our “on campus” issue and “downtown” issue, we need stories, filler art, and fearless writers, so come explore under Storke Tower or call A and E at 961-2691.... REALLY, if there are any serious, devoted Devil Worshipers out there who want to help Adam and Jesse with the Art for Satan’s Sake issue, contact us in the usual methods (no jokin’) ...
kristen bahrs and jennifer ellis-nolte are two cool chicks who were hanging out in the art building in their cool studio w/the cool harley poster and we asked them if they could spare some real cool art and they gave us these real cool photos and well, it was really cool. dig. meanwhile every Wednesday night these other two cool chicks make it possible for us to get a and e out and looking so gorgeous, by cutting and pasting and boxing every little thing we need, and since we were bom late and work later we need to apologize to and thank michele lynn olson and heather milano howarth for staying late and being underpaid, and brenton and matt the weatherman, thanks. — walk and jess
