The Passengers Eleanor Limprecht MARCH 2018 The Passengers Eleanor Limprecht A luminous novel about love by an acclaimed rising star of Australian literature. Description A war bride and her granddaughter are on a cruise from San Diego, California to Sydney, Australia. The grandmother, Sarah, was born in Australia and has not returned since she left in 1946, after she married an American serviceman during World War II and travelled to the US after the war on the 'Bride Ship' the USS Mariposa to start life with her new husband. During the journey back to the country of her birth, Sarah tells her granddaughter Hannah the story of her life. Hannah - who is the same age Sarah was when she made her first journey - listens avidly, seeing her grandmother for the first time as a woman and a person with a past. Her grandmother gives Hannah new perspective on the stories she has always told herself: that she will never be content with the way she looks, that the desire she feels is ugly and that she doesn't deserve happiness. It is when they arrive at their destination that Hannah realises the immensity of Sarah's life and what she has given up. The Passengers is a luminous novel about love: the journeys we undertake in its name, the sacrifices we make and the heartache we sometimes suffer. It is about how we most long for what have left behind. And it is about the past - how close it can still feel - even after long passages of time and when so much has changed.

September, 1851. Sydney, city of secrets and gossip. Seventeen-year-old Isobel Macleod is determined to save her father because she loves him. But when she dares to trespass in a forbidden male world, she will be plunged into social disgrace. A wave of ill fortune threatens to swallow up her family and their stately home, Rosemount Hall, 'the finest house in the colony' on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour. Is Isobel to blame for her family's fate or does the cause lie further in the past? When Isobel was four, Major Macleod returned from an expedition with two 'souvenirs': an Aboriginal girl who became her friend and two opals fashioned into a dragonfly brooch for her mother. When Isobel inherits this 'unlucky' heirloom, she wonders if the terrible dreams it summons are a curse or a gift. Now Isobel's hopes for her future depend on a charming bohemian who encourages her hidden passion to become an artist. Will she now be permanently exiled from her family home? Or will she be transformed into a new self like a magnificent dragonfly emerging into the sunlight?

The lives of the girls and women in The Break are not easy, but their voices are complex, urgent and unsparing.

  • 60 Literary Journalism Studies 61 by Any Other Name: the Case for Literary Journalism
    60 Literary Journalism Studies 61 By Any Other Name: The Case for Literary Journalism Josh Roiland University of Maine, United States Keynote Response: Literary journalism has experienced a resurgence in recent years, and like all popular movements it has sustained a backlash from those who believe it fetishizes narrative at the expense of research and reporting. New Yorker writer Nicholas Lemann’s IALJS-10 keynote talk returned the spotlight to the social function of journalism: to provide “a running account of the world.” He argues that for literary journalism to complete that task, it must privilege research and reporting over artistic expression. This response essay expands on Lemann’s talk by clarifying mis- conceptions about what the “literary” in literary journalism means, and demonstrates that the debates about what to call this genre—debates that have been rekindled in recent years with the ascendance of such vague-but- vogue terms “long form” and “long reads”—are not new. This narrative history explores both the misbegotten trail of the term “literary journalism” and its attendant field of study, but it also argues that the label long form represents a neoliberalization of language that positions readers not to con- sider or question, but only to consume. ut however vague and slippery a term, the New Journalism has become “Ba convenient label for recent developments in nonfiction writing and for the sharp critical controversy this writing has stirred up.” So wrote Ronald Weber in his 1974 preface to the book he had compiled and edited, The Re- porter as Artist: A Look at the New Journalism Controversy.1 Some four decades later, standing before a confederation of several dozen literary journalism scholars who had gathered from across the globe in Minneapolis, Nicholas Lemann wasted little time getting to the question that has bedeviled not only his audience of academics but also practitioners and, increasingly, casual read- ers: “What is literary journalism anyway?”2 Nearly every book-length work of Literary Journalism Studies Vol.

  • Abdul-Jabbar Talks MLK, Social Justice and Self-Satisfi Ed of Tribes, and Janet Had the Nerve to Question What We Do Sometimes,” Remnick Told the Associated Press
    ARAB TIMES, SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Obit Inquisitive author Malcolm, provocative journalist, dies at 86 NEW YORK, June 19, (AP): Janet Malcolm, the inquisitive and boldly subjective author and reporter known for her challenging critiques of everything from murder cases and art to journalism itself, has died. She was 86. Malcolm died Wednesday at New York Presbyte- rian Hospital, according to her daughter, Anne Mal- colm. The cause was lung cancer. A longtime New Yorker staff writer and the au- thor of several books, the Prague native practiced a kind of post-modern style in which she often called attention to her own role in the narrative, question- ing whether even the most conscientious observer could be trusted. “Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible” was how she began “The Journalist and the Murderer.” The 1990 book assailed Joe McGinniss’ true crime classic “Fatal Vision” as a prime case of the author tricking his subject, convicted killer Jeffrey MacDonald, who had asked McGinniss to write a book about him only to have Malcolm the author conclude he was a sociopath. It was one of many works by Malcolm that set off debates about her pro- fession and compelled even those who disliked her to keep reading. Reviewing a 2013 anthology of her work, “Forty- One False Starts,” for The New York Times, Adam Susan Sarandon, (left), and Geena Davis, stars of ‘Thelma & Louise,’ pose in a 1966 Ford Thunderbird similar to the one featured in the film, at the 30th anniversary Kirsch praised Malcolm for “a powerfully distinctive screening of the film at the Greek Theatre on Friday, June 18, in Los Angeles.

  • In the Funhouse Mirror: How News Subjects Respond to Their Media Reflections
    In the Funhouse Mirror: How News Subjects Respond to Their Media Reflections Ruth A. Palmer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Ruth A. Palmer All rights reserved Abstract In the Funhouse Mirror: How News Subjects Respond to Their Media Reflections Ruth A. Palmer Based on in-depth interviews with eighty-three people who were named in newspapers in the New York City-area and a southwestern city, this dissertation explores the phenomenon of being featured, quoted, or mentioned in a news story, from the subject’s point of view. Discussions of news subjects usually begin when the journalist comes on the scene and end with subjects’ assessments of accuracy in the articles in which they appear. But I find that news subjects perceive the phenomenon of “making the news” as a broader saga that begins with their involvement in an event or issue, often only later deemed newsworthy by journalists, and extends to the repercussions of the coverage in their lives, including feedback they receive from others and effects on their digital reputations. Subjects interpret their news coverage, including its accuracy, in light of the trigger events that brought them to journalists’ attention in the first place and the coverage’s ensuing effects. Individual chapters focus on subjects’ reasons for wanting or not wanting to speak to reporters; their interactions with reporters; their reactions to the news content in which they were named; and repercussions of news appearances.

  • Dickinson As Found in Marta Wener's Emily Dickinson's Open Folios
    Lori Bookstein Fine Art 138 TENTH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10011 Tel 212-750-0949 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Janet Malcolm: The Emily Dickinson Series January 9 – February 8, 2014 Lori Bookstein Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of new collages by Janet Malcolm. This is the artist’s fifth solo-show with the gallery. As the title suggests, The Emily Dickinson Series was inspired by the late writings of Emily Dickinson as found in Marta Wener’s Emily Dickinson’s Open Folios: Scenes of Reading, Surfaces of Writing. The publication brings together forty of Dickinson’s late drafts, also known as the “Lord Letters,” and is presented with facsimiles of the original writing alongside the typed transcriptions. In Malcolm’s collages, she reappropriates this text, juxtaposing it against seemingly unrelated visual ephemera. Everything from highway mileage charts to antiquated photographs can be found in this latest series. Most predominately, however, Malcolm combines Dickinson’s writings with astronomical images. The following correspondence between Marta Werner and Janet Malcolm first appeared in issue 126 of Granta under the heading “The Emily Dickinson Series: A Correspondence.” A version of this text has been reprinted on the following pages with permission. Janet Malcolm (b. 1934, Prague) is the author of twelve books and a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. In addition to her extensive practice of collage making, Malcolm has produced a series of photographs of Burdock leaves. A catalog of these prints, entitled Burdock, is available from Yale University Press. The artist lives and works in New York City.

    The Master Writer of the City by Janet Malcolm | The New York Review of Books 4/18/15 6:57 PM The Master Writer of the City Janet Malcolm APRIL 23, 2015 ISSUE Man in Profile: Joseph Mitchell of The New Yorker by Thomas Kunkel Random House, 384 pp., $30.00 In 1942 The New Yorker published Joseph Mitchell’s profile of a homeless man in Greenwich Village named Joe Gould, whose claim to notice—the thing that separated him from other sad misfits—was “a formless, rather mysterious book” he was known to be writing called “An Oral History of Our Time,” begun twenty-six years earlier and already, at nine million words, “eleven times as long as the Bible.” Twenty-two years later, in 1964, the magazine published another piece by Mitchell called “Joe Gould’s Secret” that ran in two parts, and that drew a rather less sympathetic and a good deal more interesting portrait of Gould. Mitchell revealed what he had kept back in the profile—that Gould was a tiresome bore and cadger who attached himself to Mitchell like a leech, and finally forced upon him the realization that the “Oral History” did not exist. After confronting Gould with this knowledge, the famously kindhearted Mitchell regretted having done so: I have always deeply disliked seeing anyone shown up or found out or caught in a lie or caught red-handed doing anything, and now, with time to think things over, I Therese Mitchell/Estate of Joseph Mitchell began to feel ashamed of myself for the way I had lost my temper and pounced on Joseph Mitchell in Lower Manhattan, near the old Fulton Fish Market; photograph by his Gould.
