I Am Writing a Biography. 1 I Am Writing a Biography. J’écris une biographie… Miriam Nichols Preface 1 Literary biography is a slippery genre. However splendid or useful individual examples of it may be, the genre itself lags behind fiction, poetry, and drama in star quality; its readership and shelf life depend as much on the prestige and currency of the subject as the skill of the biographer, and it requires a dogged willingness to stay with a single project for many years. Worse, on publication the biographer risks the ire of other scholars or sometimes living friends and relatives who don’t remember things quite the same way. Then there is the digital archive that threatens to supplant the genre altogether. 2 I have come to think of biography as a “why this and not that” kind of genre: why this writer and not that one? why recount this incident and not another? why tell a story rather than mount a digital archive? My purpose in this essay is to lay out these conundrums as I have encountered them and to explain my choices in trying to respond.

  • Pornography, Morality, and Harm: Why Miller Should Survive Lawrence
    File: 02-DIONNE-Revised.doc Created on: 3/12/2008 1:29 PM Last Printed: 3/12/2008 1:34 PM 2008] 611 PORNOGRAPHY, MORALITY, AND HARM: WHY MILLER SHOULD SURVIVE LAWRENCE Elizabeth Harmer Dionne∗ INTRODUCTION In 2003, a divided Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas1 declared that morality, absent third-party harm, is an insufficient basis for criminal legis- lation that restricts private, consensual sexual conduct.2 In a strongly worded dissent, Justice Scalia declared that this “called into question” state laws against obscenity (among others), as such laws are “based on moral choices.”3 Justice Scalia does not specifically reference Miller v. Califor- nia,4 the last case in which the Supreme Court directly addressed the issue of whether the government may suppress obscenity. However, if, as Justice Scalia suggests, obscenity laws have their primary basis in private morality, the governing case that permits such laws must countenance such a moral basis. The logical conclusion is that Lawrence calls Miller, which provides the legal test for determining obscenity, into question.5 ∗ John M. Olin Fellow in Law, Harvard Law School.

  • Sexo, Amor Y Cine Por Salvador Sainz Introducción
    Sexo, amor y cine por Salvador Sainz Introducción: En la última secuencia de El dormilón (The Sleeper, 1973), Woody Allen, desengañado por la evolución polí tica de una hipotética sociedad futura, le decí a escéptico a Diane Keaton: “Yo sólo creo en el sexo y en la muerte” . Evidentemente la desconcertante evolución social y polí tica de la última década del siglo XX parecen confirmar tal aseveración. Todos los principios é ticos del filósofo alemá n Hegel (1770-1831) que a lo largo de un siglo engendraron movimientos tan dispares como el anarquismo libertario, el comunismo autoritario y el fascismo se han desmoronado como un juego de naipes dejando un importante vací o ideológico que ha sumido en el estupor colectivo a nuestra desorientada generación. Si el siglo XIX fue el siglo de las esperanzas el XX ha sido el de los desengaños. Las creencias má s firmes y má s sólidas se han hundido en su propia rigidez. Por otra parte la serie interminable de crisis económica, polí tica y social de nuestra civilización parece no tener fin. Ante tanta decepción sólo dos principios han permanecido inalterables: el amor y la muerte. Eros y Tá natos, los polos opuestos de un mundo cada vez má s neurótico y vací o. De Tánatos tenemos sobrados ejemplos a cada cual má s siniestro: odio, intolerancia, guerras civiles, nacionalismo exacerbado, xenofobia, racismo, conservadurismo a ultranza, intransigencia, fanatismo… El Sé ptimo Arte ha captado esa evolución social con unas pelí culas cada vez má s violentas, con espectaculares efectos especiales que no nos dejan perder detalle de los aspectos má s sombrí os de nuestro entorno.

  • JK Bloomsday Interview
    A Bloomsday Interview With Joanne Kyger in New York Trevor Carolan “I don’t think it was until I moved to Bolinas in 1969 that I really entered into a close relationship with the land around me in my writing. About the birds who live here, to this day the quail are probably my closest neighbors.” * “Poetry has a lot to do with awakening,” Joanne Kyger has noted. I came to appreciate this while teaching a humanities seminar at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. The readings included a constellation of writers associated with “San Francisco: the Athens of the American West”, a large number of whom were Buddhist-influenced. I noticed how young male students gravitated to work by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, or Kenneth Rexroth; by contrast, women students responded strongly to the poetry and poetics of Joanne Kyger and Diane di Prima. Accordingly, I began paying closer attention to the transpacific inflections that percolate through the work of other women writers like Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Alice Walker, Jane Hirschfield, and bell hooks. In June, 2008, Joanne Kyger was a featured speaker at The Beats In India, an Asia Centre symposium in New York. The event celebrated the journey made in 1962 by Kyger, her then-husband Snyder, and fellow American poets Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky, and addressed ‘what drew the Beats to India and how they inspired successive generations of Americans to turn to the East for spiritual and creative wisdom’. There was a sense of historical importance about the gathering. Two days later on Bloomsday, I spoke with Kyger at the loft home office of Vincent Katz, publisher of Kyger’s poetry collection, Not Veracruz (Libellum Books).

  • Mord På En Playmate
    ringer på. Holdningen i de enkelte filmanmeldelser spænder fra nøgtem-kritisk og distanceret til engageret-kritisk og personlig. Førstnævnte kan eksempelvis ses i »Jyllands­ MORD posten«, i Ib Montys anmeldelser som i afdæmpet fortælle­ stil, enkel kompositionsform og med klart tilkendegivne vurderinger giver læseren et luftfoto-overblik over filmene. Sidstnævnte kan f.eks. findes hos »Information«s Morten PÅ EN Piil, som i en tæt og sammenvævet fremstillingsform fortol­ ker dybere sammenhænge og betydningslag i filmene og gi­ ver et nærbilledindtryk af dem. I modtagelsen af »Isfugle« ses den sagligt-analytiske anmeldelse i aviser som »Berling- PLAYMATE ske Tidende« og »Information«. Michael Blædels anmeldelse i »Berlingske Tidende« star­ ter kontant og fængende: Et billede af isfugles adfærd og et KAARE SCHMIDT OM »STAR 80« replikeksempel karakteriserer filmens tema for læseren. Herefter følger et tematisk samlende, konkret referat, et af­ snit med en analytisk baseret karakteristik og fortolkning og endelig en vurderende detailbehandling i anmeldelsens sid­ ste afsnit. Iagttagelser gøres konkrete. F.eks. underbygges det synspunkt i anmeldelsen, at René-figuren for meget kommer til at fremstå som »skæbne i et fatalistisk spil« med et kritisk eksempel: »F.eks. viger filmen uforpligtende uden om det træk af psykopati, der også synes at være en af dæmonerne i Renés psyke«. Den differentierede og overve­ jende positive vurdering er bygget tæt ind i den løbende tekst, hvilket gør anmeldelsen kritisk orienterende frem for egentlig dømmende. Det ligger hos læseren selv at overveje om filmen skal ses. Anmelderens personlige oplevelse er trukket tilbage og giver plads for en nøgtem-kritisk hold­ ning i objektiv form.

    Archive from “A Secret Location” Small Press / Mimeograph Revolution, 1940s–1970s We are pleased to offer for sale a captivating and important research collection of little magazines and other printed materials that represent, chronicle, and document the proliferation of avant-garde, underground small press publications from the forties to the seventies. The starting point for this collection, “A Secret Location on the Lower East Side,” is the acclaimed New York Public Library exhibition and catalog from 1998, curated by Steve Clay and Rodney Phillips, which documented a period of intense innovation and experimentation in American writing and literary publishing by exploring the small press and mimeograph revolutions. The present collection came into being after the owner “became obsessed with the secretive nature of the works contained in the exhibition’s catalog.” Using the book as a guide, he assembled a singular library that contains many of the rare and fragile little magazines featured in the NYPL exhibition while adding important ancillary material, much of it from a West Coast perspective. Left to right: Bill Margolis, Eileen Kaufman, Bob Kaufman, and unidentified man printing the first issue of Beatitude. [Ref SL p. 81]. George Herms letter ca. late 90s relating to collecting and archiving magazines and documents from the period of the Mimeograph Revolution. Small press publications from the forties through the seventies have increasingly captured the interest of scholars, archivists, curators, poets and collectors over the past two decades. They provide bedrock primary source information for research, analysis, and exhibition and reveal little known aspects of recent cultural activity. The Archive from “A Secret Location” was collected by a reclusive New Jersey inventor and offers a rare glimpse into the diversity of poetic doings and material production that is the Small Press Revolution.

  • Dorothy Stratten Faked Her Death
    return to updates DOROTHY STRATTEN faked her deat by Miles Mathis First published August 20, 2018 I tripped across another one today. As usual, it was so easy to pull apart. I'll take you in the same way I got in. For those who don't know, Stratten [real name Hoogstraten] was the Playmate of the Year in 1980. This was the heyday—perhaps the pinnacle—of Playboy's popularity, and Stratten is seen by some as the quintessential playmate: bottle blonde, big breasted, and thoroughly statuesque. I was sixteen in 1980, so I remember her vividly. Allegedly, she died soon thereafter when her first husband shot her with a shotgun and then killed himself. She was 20 and engaged to famous Hollywood director Peter Bogdanovich [Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, etc.] Bogdanovich was about twice her age. The papers were full of this tragedy for months, and many films have been made about it— including of course Star 80, with Mariel Hemingway. During my daily travels on the internet, I found myself on Bogdanovich's Wiki page, and I noticed that under spouses he had a wife listed as Louise Stratten—whom he married in 1988. I immediately thought to myself “here we go again”. The odds that he would marry another blonde Stratten eight years later is vanishingly low, so I looked up the story. Until now, I hadn't realized that story was that he had married her little sister. You can see the two sisters together above. And that confirmed my suspicion, since that photo is fake.
