By Gwyn Conger Steinbeck the Story
For Immediate Release Lawson Publishing LTD. Discovered--GWYN CONGER STEINBECK. New book relates love and adventures of the "forgotten wife," muse to the Nobel Prizewinning author of American classics MY LIFE WITH JOHN STEINBECK: by Gwyn Conger Steinbeck The Story of John Steinbeck's Forgotten Wife Who was Gwyn Conger Steinbeck? Unlike Steinbeck's first and third wives, she's unmentioned in standard editions of classics, such as The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. But that's about to change with the publication of MY LIFE WITH JOHN STEINBECK: by Gwyn Conger Steinbeck, The story of John Steibeck's Forgotten Wife. (Lawson Publishing Ltd. Sept. 6th.). The ms, lost since 1972, was recently discovered in Wales. The book includes her introduction, that of journalist Douglas G. Brown and the acclaimed John Steinbeck biographer, Jay Parini. The book reveals the missing voice of Gwyn, "the forgotten wife," mother of his two sons, during a 6-year marriage that included the tumult of World War 2.. When she met Steinbeck in 1939, Gwyn was a professional singer, working for RKO radio and CBS in L.A. She was an independent young woman, lively and radiant in her love for the great man wooing her--14 years her senior. He was impressed by her beauty and magnetic presence. For women of her era, many of whom had to leave jobs after the war, marriage was considered a woman's true career-- love was life. This journal is her story of that adventure, often "on the road" with a restless Steinbeck, criss-crossing continents and making homes. -

Where the Past Begins: A Writer’s Memoir presents Amy Tan, a master of storytelling, offering unparalleled access into her writing process, her fascination with the neurology of creativity, and her exploration of the family histories that led to the creation of indelible characters in beloved works such as The Joy Luck Club and The Valley of Amazement. In these pages, we find hints of trauma in Tan’s past, relationships she has never discussed publicly, and a family mystery that was only solved accidentally, by stumbling on a box of old documents. In evocative descriptions and characteristic humor, this memoir offers us a vivid picture of the author’s childhood in Northern California, the world of her mother and grandmother in China, and her recent forays into plein air sketching. Amy explores how memories, the inspiration of music, and the beauty of the natural world mingle with enigmatic characteristics of the writer’s brain and imaginative capacities to create the magic of a story. Other non-fiction by Amy Tan: THE OPPOSITE OF FATE: Memories of a Writing Life (Putnam, 2003) New York Times bestseller, New York Times notable book “Sharp and invigorating…fertile reading.”— The New York Times Book Review “Wickedly funny and honest.”— O Magazine “A melodramatic, tragic and comedic tale…Tan is refreshingly candid.”— Baltimore Sun Amy Tan is the internationally bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God’s Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter’s Daughter, The Valley of Amazement, The Opposite of Fate: Memories of a Writing Life, and two children’s books. -

Voice Training and the Royal National Theatre Rena Cook
Spring 1999 165 Voice Training and the Royal National Theatre Rena Cook I stepped off the double-decker bus at Waterloo Station with my map in hand, walked several blocks and found the Old Vic quite easily. But the Royal National Theatre Studio, where the orientation was to take place, was nowhere in sight. "Next to the Old Vic," I had been told. With address and directions in my pocket, I surveyed the area as my internal compass spun out of control. After a brief moment of panic, I went to the box office and asked for help. "Out this door, two steps to your left and through the iron gate." I had traveled to London to participate in a course entitled "International Voice Intensive" with Patsy Rodenburg. As I walked up the steps of the studio on that chilly Sunday afternoon, with jet lag hanging heavily on my limbs, I had little idea that in my two weeks study I was about to experience a Zeitgeist of contemporary London theatre, training and practice. The focus was, of course, the voice work under the tutelage of master teacher Patsy Rodenburg, who currently heads the voice departments at the Royal National Theatre and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In addition, the course participants were exposed to and interacted with some of the finest artists working in Western theatre today, including Trevor Nunn, Richard Eyre, and Judi Dench. Following each exhaustive day of study, workshop, and discussion, we attended theatre, viewing five of the six productions currently in repertory at the National. -
