LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR BY JUDITH ROSSNER PDF Based on a harrowing true story, the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, is a story of love, power, sex, and death during the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Theresa Dunn spends her days as a schoolteacher whose rigid Catholic upbringing has taught her to find happiness by finding the right man. But at night, her resentment of those social mores and fear of attachment lead her into the alcohol-and-drug fueled underworld of singles’ bars, where she engages in a pattern of dangerous sexual activity that threatens her safety and, ultimately, her life. Looking for Mr. Goodbar is “uncommonly well-written and well-constructed fiction, easily accessible, but full of insight and intelligence and illumination” (The New York Times Book Review). With more than four million copies in print, this seminal novel—a lightning rod for controversy upon its publication—has become a cultural touchstone that has forever influenced our perception of social rebellion and sexual empowerment. ● Sales Rank: #214367 in Books ● Brand: Rossner, Judith ● Published on: 2014-07-08 ● Released on: 2014-07-08 ● Original language: English ● Number of items: 1 ● Dimensions: 8.37" h x .80" w x 5.50" l, .57 pounds ● Binding: Paperback ● 288 pages About the Author Judith Rossner [1935–2005] was an American novelist, most famous for the bestseller, Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1975).

The two faces of Theresa By A Customer This was a disturbing book in many ways--not because of the subjectmatter or the storytelling, but because it reaches out to anyone who reads it, forcing them to confront their darker, hidden sides. As the story begins, Theresa Dunn is a 10-year-old child who comes from a large Irish Catholic family and frequently gets overlooked. The degree to which her parents pay her little attention while lavishing affection on her older sister, Katherine, is shocking, because Theresa's spine curvature could have been corrected immediately had they noticed. This, of course, adds to Theresa's self-loathing and her feeling that she is insignificant. The operation is a success, but Theresa is not quite the same. Katherine gets emotional and tells Theresa that she looked like she "came back from the dead". Theresa also has a slight limp to show for it, a constant reminder of her unimportance. From this point on, anyone who makes a reference to Theresa's limp, however casual, is basically striking Theresa in her most vulnerable place. Her failure to come to terms with her self-loathing eventually will lead to far more trouble in the future. Theresa is still very much the good Catholic girl, however, and she still loves children. Her decision to become an elementary school teacher allows her to temporarily step into the role of "Mother" (nurturer) and "Father" (educator), to be simultaneously the parents she wished she had. It is during her college years that she meets Martin Engle, a sardonic English professor who will have a profound effect on her already shaky self-image. Martin is married, but he is still very much adored by his female students, and he does nothing to overtly discourage them. Theresa soon finds herself the object of Martin's affection, although he teases her for having such a "serious Catholic girl" personality. Rossner includes a number of vivid images in this section; for instance, Theresa, about to be seduced by Martin, watches coffee dripping from the coffee- maker, looking like brown mud. Their affair lasts for four years, until one day when Martin casually shrugs her off. She is simply another fling to him; he openly informs her that he will probably have another one by this summer. Theresa goes into a deep depression and again, comes out of it permanently altered. Now she is "soiled goods" in every sense of the word, and as her casual alter ego "Terry", she begins to behave recklessly, seducing strangers and bringing them to her apartment at night. During school hours with the children, however, she is still very much "Theresa", the "good" Catholic girl who lavishes affection on her students. The "Mr. Goodbar" of the title is simply the name of one of Terry's haunts. Her double life is two such extreme opposites, that on the rare occasions when one element appears in another, it often leads to disaster. For instance, she meets a "nice" gentleman, James, who turns her off sexually, but who is comforting because of his unconditional love for her. This, of course, is beyond Theresa's comprehension, and in her perverse way, she often strives to push him away by acting "hard", swearing too much and being sardonic in much the same way as Martin. It is during one of these phases that Theresa attends a wedding in a "slutty" black dress that "Terry" would wear. At the sight of James' mother, Theresa is suddenly filled with shame, to the point where she feels physically ill. Likewise, with her "regulars", she is careful not to let them intrude into her "other life"; after sex, she immediately demands that they leave. The most painful aspect of reading the book is the loneliness Theresa experiences. She has no close friends, her parents are remote and distant, and her older sister is flighty and cannot be depended on. Theresa's life is a dark abyss that she gradually sinks into, and she is a tortured, conflicted woman to the end. This can be a very depressing story, in spite of the vivid sexual imagery. Living in Theresa's skin is like going to a wild party every night, only to wake up with a horrendous hangover the next morning. The late 60's sensibilities are very much in evidence here, also; none of the so-called "peace and love" generation are any more successful at intimacy and committment than Theresa. James is a symbol of a more noble, idealistic time, when "old-fashioned" values like honesty and chivalry were treasured. Theresa herself is symbolic of people's best and worst selves; the tragedy is that the worst will often win out. 31 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Still holds up thirty years later.

    The Female Gothic Connoisseur: Reading, Subjectivity, and the Feminist Uses of Gothic Fiction By Monica Cristina Soare A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ian Duncan, Chair Professor Julia Bader Professor Michael Iarocci Spring 2013 1 Abstract The Female Gothic Connoisseur: Reading, Subjectivity, and the Feminist Uses of Gothic Fiction by Monica Cristina Soare Doctor or Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Ian Duncan, Chair In my dissertation I argue for a new history of female Romanticism in which the romance – and particularly the Gothic romance – comes to represent the transformative power of the aesthetic for the female reader. The literary figure in which this formulation inheres is the Female Quixote – an eighteenth-century amalgamation of Cervantes's reading idealist and the satirized figure of the learned woman – who embodies both aesthetic enthusiasm and a feminist claim on the world of knowledge. While the Female Quixote has generally been understood as a satirical figure, I show that she is actually at the forefront of a development in British aesthetics in which art comes to be newly valued as a bulwark against worldliness. Such a development arises as part of mid-eighteenth-century sensibility culture and changes the meaning of an aesthetic practice that had been to that point criticized and satirized – that of over-investment in the arts, associated, as I show, with both the figure of the connoisseur and of the Female Quixote.

    20 09 Tavaly Szeged-Fesztiválváros újabb nagy értékű kulturális eseménnyel gazdagodott. Nemzetközi összefogással olyan előadások jöttek létre, amelyek az opera műfaj megújításával kísérleteztek, eköz- ben reményteljes fiatal művészek tették meg első lépéseiket a világhír felé. Közülük többet Szeged városa is a szívébe zárt. Így például Adam Diegelt, aki azóta több alkalommal is fellépett nálunk, és a nézők mindig kitörő örömmel fogadták. A művészi élményen túl a város számára komoly nyere- ség, hogy a Szegedet és a Szegedi Szabadtéri Játékokat bemutató filmeket 39 ország nézői láthatták a Mezzo Televízió közvetítéseinek jóvoltából. Ez azt jelenti: sokmilliós közönség láthatta gyönyörűen felújított, mediterrán teraszokkal tarkított és turistáktól hemzsegő belvárosunkat; a szecessziós műremek Reök-palota – világhírű mesterek műveit kínáló – kiállításait. Amire büszkék vagyunk, azt megmutathattuk azoknak is, akik eddig nem ismerték Szegedet, de ezek után talán meg akarják ismerni. Reményteljesen alakuló együttműködésünk a Mezzo Televízióval így lehet minden szem- pontból gyümölcsöző. The second annual Opera Competition and Festival comes to Szeged once again, enriching its cultural life. The Festival aims to rejuvenate the art form, and achieves this goal through unprecedented international cooperation. Several young artists from around the world have already made international debuts on the stage of the Szeged National Theatre, touching the hearts of audiences. Like tenor Adam Diegel, who is warmly welcomed back to the city each time he returns to perform. The festival extends beyond the boundaries of Szeged; through Mezzo broadcasts and the documentaries on Szeged and the Szeged Open-Air Festival, viewers of 39 countries had the chance to share in all the cultural attractions and events of our city.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SCREENING DIVERSITY: WOMEN AND WORK IN TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY POPULAR CULTURE Laura K. Brunner, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor A. Lynn Bolles Department of Women’s Studies Screening Diversity: Women and Work in Twenty-first Century Popular Culture explores contemporary representations of diverse professional women on screen. Audiences are offered successful women with limited concerns for feminism, anti- racism, or economic justice. I introduce the term viewsers to describe a group of movie and television viewers in the context of the online review platform Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and the social media platforms Twitter and Facebook. Screening Diversity follows their engagement in a representative sample of professional women on film and television produced between 2007 and 2015. The sample includes the television shows, Scandal, Homeland, VEEP, Parks and Recreation, and The Good Wife, as well as the movies, Zero Dark Thirty, The Proposal, The Heat, The Other Woman, I Don’t Know How She Does It, and Temptation. Viewsers appreciated female characters like Olivia (Scandal), and Maya (Zero Dark Thiry) who treated their work as a quasi-religious moral imperative. Producers and viewsers shared the belief that unlimited time commitment and personal identification were vital components of professionalism. However, powerful women, like The Proposal’s Margaret and VEEP’s Selina, were often called bitches. Some viewsers embraced bitch-positive politics in recognition of the struggles of women in power. Women’s disproportionate responsibility for reproductive labor, often compromises their ability to live up to moral standards of work. Unlike producers, viewsers celebrated and valued that labor.
