  • International Bestselling Author Harlan Coben Launches Indie with Red Production Company
    INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR HARLAN COBEN LAUNCHES INDIE WITH RED PRODUCTION COMPANY NEW U.S.-BASED PRODUCTION COMPANY DEVELOPING DRAMA SIX YEARS NEW YORK, March 8, 2016: Award-winning and number one international bestselling author Harlan Coben is launching his own independent production company, in partnership with one of the UK’s most successful producers, RED Production Company. Coben will be joint CEO alongside RED founder Nicola Shindler with STUDIOCANAL handling international distribution of the original content. Final Twist Productions, which will be based in the U.S., will develop contemporary, thrilling drama for American broadcast networks. The new company is already in development on a major returning drama series, Six Years, adapted from Coben’s bestselling novel of the same name. The ambitious series tells the story of Jake, a college professor who six years earlier watched the love of his life, Natalie, marry another man. But, when Natalie’s husband is murdered and Jake goes to find her, he discovers that the grieving widow is not Nathalie at all, but a woman he's never seen before. As Jake seeks to uncover the truth and find his lost love, his search takes him on a dark and unforeseeable journey that puts his very life at risk. “Nicola and I had such a terrific experience creating The Five for Sky One. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve made,” said Harlan Coben. “Final Twist Productions will take our American-British teamwork to the next level by bringing Nicola’s daring new outlook and producing style to the USA.” “It has been a privilege to work with Harlan on developing, producing and delivering his first original screenplay,” added Nicola Shindler.

    ABC Art Books Canada ABC Art Books Canada Spring 2016 catalog Dana Schutz Zeppetelli, John / Klein, Benjamin / Enright, Robert 9782551256952 Hardcover / 33 color illustrations. (18 plates) 10 x 9 / 72 pages $24.95 Catalog Sequence: 6 ABC Art Books Canada/Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal ‘For all her formal brilliance, it is Schutz’s ethical probing, her lucid parsing of contemporary culture, that truly animates her art.’ Daniel Balasco, Art in America. Informed by early twentieth-century avantgardes, principally cubism and expressionism, Dana Schutz’s art is an extraordinary and joyful mash- up where a multitude of references and allusions collide. The exhilarating results can be understood as a productive conversation with the history of painting and as a compelling testament to painting’s complex and unending death throes. With its conflations of Géricault, horror films, Ensor, Picasso, Guston, porn, and pop culture, her work appears to counter and confront the imperious Internet information colossus, where everything is available at once. This fully bilingual publication accompanies an original exhibition of new and recent work and documents Schutz’s first exhibition in Canada. In English and French.

  • Rufius the Cinaedus Exegesis Title: the 'Pivot of Authenticity'
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Novel Title: Rufius the Cinaedus Exegesis Title: The ‘Pivot of Authenticity’: Representing Ancient Roman Sexuality in Fiction being a Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD in the University of Hull by Sarah Walton, BA, MA (April 2014) Abstract The thesis includes a novel, Rufius the Cinaedus, and an exegesis, The ‘Pivot of Authenticity’: Representing Ancient Roman Sexuality in Fiction, which explores how I creatively engaged with the historical sources to write Rufius the Cinaedus, and the different approaches taken by novelists when writing ancient Rome. Rufius the Cinaedus is a love story between Aeson, a street kid and his mentor, Rufius set in fourth century Alexandria, a period of religious revolution. Plucked from the red-light district, Aeson is groomed for the academy – and as Rufius’ lover. The novel aims to demonstrate the ancient Roman sexual paradigm and explores gender identity, childhood, comradeship and the heroism of ordinary people in a time of turmoil. The exegesis explores the tension that exists between authentically representing the sexuality of ancient Roman characters, and making them engaging for a modern audience. This raises the question: to what extent is historical authenticity desirable? Modern novels of ancient Rome are displaced in terms of time, language and authorship – which necessitates a degree of anachronism. Novelists must decide where to position the ‘pivot of authenticity’: the relationship between the author’s aim with respect to historical authenticity and the reception of the reader. To bridge the gap in time, novelists shift the ‘pivot’, often overlaying modern morals and sexual norms on to the ancient Romans.
