Eliot: A Short Biography Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on September 26, 1888 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Henry Ware and Charlotte Stearns Eliot. Henry Ware Eliot was the son of the Reverend William Greenleaf Eliot. Reverend Eliot was originally from Boston, Massachusetts. He relocated to St. Louis, Missouri in 1834. At the time, St. Louis was a frontier town with a heavily Irish Catholic population. Reverend Eliot was a Unitarian minister and founded the First Congregational (Unitarian) Church of St. Louis. He was dedicated to encouraging academic as well as religious study. He founded two preparatory schools in St. Louis: the Smith Academy for boys and the Mary Institute for girls. In 1857, he founded Washington University and served as its President from 1871 until his death in 1887. Although he died before his grandson’s birth, Reverend Eliot was influential in his grandson’s life. Reverend Eliot wanted his sons to follow his example and become 1 Unitarian ministers. Henry Ware Eliot resisted this pressure and went into business. Henry first worked at Reed and Green Wholesale Grocers with a modicum of success. He then became partners in Eliot and Larkin, a manufacturing chemist firm, where they produced acetic acid. Unfortunately, this business was not successful and Henry was forced to file bankruptcy.

    'A Grave for New York' and 'New York

    A Grave for New York and New York 80: Formulating an Arab Identity through the Lens of New York Michelle Hartman From the skyscrapers of mid-town Manhattan to the Brooklyn Bridge, from the Statue of Liberty to the prostitutes of Time Square, from Harlem to Wall Street, images of New York City are some of the most potent representations of the United States around the world. This paper explores how two Arab authors use New York City as a lens through which they for- mulate an Arab identity in and for their literary texts and I am concerned in particular with the way in which gender and race are used in these formulations. The two works I discuss are Adonis’s Qabr min ajl new york (A Grave for New York)1 and Yusuf Idris’s New York 802, published in Arabic in 1971 and 1980 respectively, and both written in Arabic, for an Arab audience. There is no doubt that either work is anything but a scathing critique of New York, used as a metonym for the United States, and in particular its claim to technology and ‘advancement.’ Both pieces clearly advocate resistance to American hegemony in the world and harshly condemn the capitalist greed with which the United States has become syn- onymous throughout the world thus manifesting the political commitment of their authors and conveying a message of Third World solidarity. Michelle Hartman, Assistant Professor Institute of Islamic Studies McGill University, Montreal, Canada 223 Works that deal with relationships between Arabs and Europeans or Arabs and Americans (assumed of course to be distinct categories) are discussed by scholars of Arabic litera- ture as part of the large body of literature dealing with what is usually referred to as the ‘east-west encounter.’ A Grave for New York and New York 80 both certainly fall into this cate- gory and both can also be read more specifically as works that deal with the United States.

    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.

Transitory Parerga: Access and Inclusion in Contemporary Art Vlad Strukov Introduction The issue of access and inclusion is both topical and integral to Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, one of the backers of The Garage Journal: Studies in Art, Museums & Culture (hereafter, The Garage Journal). Institutions (museums, art colleges), ideologies (value systems, the canon), architecture (buildings, urban planning), curatorial paraphernalia (interpretation, frames, plinths) frame contemporary art. They include and exclude, give and withhold access by centralizing contemporary art in Eurocentric urban areas, by creating precarious employment opportunities, and by catering, mostly, to non-diverse audiences. By looking at these structures that frame contemporary art—point to its significance, signal its value, and movein and out of the transitory focus of art itself—we have a framework that allows us to discuss art and its boundaries, without limiting our investigation of access and inclusion to art’s ‘intrinsic’ qualities.

    EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. Special Collections Handlist of Manuscripts, H 29 JOHN WAIN ARCHIVE MSS 2851-2875; MSS 3124-3137 E97.67 Literary manuscripts of John Barrington Wain (1925-1994) were deposited in Edinburgh University Library in 1974, and subsequently added to by the author until 1986, when the whole deposit was purchased by the Library with the help of the Local Museums Purchase Fund. These manuscripts constitute MSS 2851-2874. Some items were deposited after 1985 and these, along with the manuscripts in the possession of the author at his death were purchased in 1996, with the aid of the National Fund for Acquisitions. These manuscripts constitute MSS 3124-3137. Further manuscripts were found by his family subsequently and were gifted in December 1997: these manuscripts constitute E97.67. This group is not sorted or listed and needs to integrated with MSS 3124-3137 as the material is closely linked with the material in this group, e.g. further mss and tss of his Oxford trilogy. Wain’s incoming correspondence and outgoing letters to Philip Larkin were purchased with the help of the National Fund for Acquisitions in 1999 (E99.01). These are included in MS 2875. The manuscript of his first novel, Hurry on Down (1953), has not survived, but notebooks, mss and typescripts of most of his later novels, short stories, poetry, plays and criticism are present. The list below was compiled at different times, and conventions regarding italicization, etc. are not consistent. (Note: See the 1985 Edinburgh University Library exhibition catalogue 'Hurry Back Down: John Wain at Sixty' for further information.

Good morning, Raymond. RAYMOND HILL: Good morning. SARAH CANBY JACKSON: First of all, tell me about your parents.1 RAYMOND HILL: It’s hard for me to do that because it’s hard for anybody to believe a person could have parents as good as mine. I’ve been in a number of groups where the groups had to make disclosures about, you know, their parents and their childhood. I tell mine and they say, “What you really need is a reality check,” and “You couldn’t have had it so good.” I’ll just have to ask you to forgive me, they were wonderful. That would be the overarching generalism that I would make. My father and mother, I truly believe, were absolutely honest. I believe they were extraordinarily generous. I believe they were deeply motivated to do the right thing and to extend the blessings of their lives to as many people as they possibly could during their lifetimes. They were not interested in money, as such, or making money and people would ask, “Well, why did your Dad do this or your Mother do that?” always looking for some sort of an advantage.
