    04_100547 ch01.qxp 3/14/07 8:00 PM Page 1 1 The Savannah Experience If you have time to visit only one city in the Southeast, make it Savannah. It’s that special. The movie Forrest Gump may have put the city squarely on the tourist map, but nothing changed the face of Savannah more than the 1994 publication of John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The impact has been unprecedented, bringing in millions in revenue as thousands flock to see the sights from the bestseller and the 1997 movie directed by Clint Eastwood. In fact, Savannah tourism has nearly doubled since publication of what’s known locally as The Book. Even after all this time, some locals still earn their living off The Book’s fallout, hawking postcards, walking tours, T-shirts, and in some cases their own careers, as in the case of the Lady Chablis, the drag queen in The Book who played herself in the film. “What’s special about Savannah?” we asked an old-timer. “Why, here we even have water fountains for dogs,” he said. The free spirit, the passion, and even the decadence of Savannah resemble those of Key West or New Orleans rather than the Bible Belt down-home “Red State” interior of Georgia. In that sense, it’s as different from the rest of the state as New York City is from upstate New York. Savannah—pronounce it with a drawl—conjures up all the clichéd images of the Deep South: live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, stately antebellum mansions, mint juleps sipped on the veranda, magnolia trees, peaceful marshes, horse-drawn carriages, ships sailing up the river (though no longer laden with cotton), and evenCOPYRIGHTED General Sherman, no one’s favorite MATERIAL military hero here.

UNPACKING PACKAGE DEALS: SEPARATE SPHERES ARE NOT THE ANSWER MARY ANNE CASE* In 1995, Francisco Valdes and I each published lengthy and detailed conceptual analyses of the ways sex, gender, and sexual orientation have been conflated in American law and the ways in which they ought to be disaggregated.' Professor Valdes's critique of this conflation in American law was balanced by a chapter in which he favorably compared Native American cultural approaches to InterSEXionality2 with Euro-American ones. According to Valdes: [T]he Native American example not only disproves the Euro- American sex/gender system's sense of essentialism, it also can spark our imagination and expand our horizons as we strive to envision post-conflationary and non-conflationary relations that, ultimately, are more in accord with the self-professed ideals and values of this nation and its laws.3 In this article, I take issue with the suggestion that the Native American model Valdes describes is a more desirable, more liberatory alternative, more consistent with the values embodied in American law.

    Acclaim for JOHN BERENDT’s MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL “Uproarious … a rich, irresistible mix of snobbery, mayhem, sex, mind-boggling parochialism and mildewed magnolias. …A glorious vanity fair of human folly.” —The Boston Globe “One of the most unusual books to come this way in a long time and one of the best…. There is every reason to celebrate [t]his surpris- ing, wonderful book.” 3/1013 —Jonathan Yardley, The Wash- ington Post Book World “The best nonfiction novel since In Cold Blood and a lot more en- tertaining…. Berendt’s book has everything going for it—snobbism, ruthless power, voodoo, local color, and a totally evil estheticism. I read it till dawn.” —Edmund White “Raunchy, witty, urbane and scan- dalous … a romp through many worlds—high and low…. For a good time read this book.” —Houston Chronicle “Berendt works up his material like a chef on a devilish mission. The result is a feast all right…. He 4/1013 has the old money down as dead- on as the new—as the no money, for that matter. And here is the highest praise I can muster: Wish I’d written the damn thing.” —Gregory Jaynes, Esquire “Rip-roaringly funny and compel- ling….A veritable Bent-Spoon River of oddballs, hustlers, so- ciopaths and historic preservationists.” —San Francisco Chronicle JOHN BERENDT MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL John Berendt has been the editor of New York magazine and an Esquire columnist.

  • The Cis Gaze and Its Others (For Shola)
    In a much-cited essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” Laura Mulvey gave us a useful way of thinking about how we see: the male gaze.1 Her examples are all from classic Hollywood cinema, but the term has a wider application. For Mulvey, the spectator’s point of view is structured by heterosexual male desire. 01/12 Cinema offers the particular pleasure of that desire in seeing without being seen. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThe male gaze sees through the male protagonist on the screen, misrecognizing itself through his conquests of worlds and women. But this pleasure is undercut by an anxiety: the woman he desires is desirable because, in Freudian language, she lacks something. He has McKenzie Wark the phallus, and she does not. She might take it from him! That she is castrated is desirable. That she might be castrating is not desirable – at The Cis Gaze least for the male gaze of a straight cis man. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊPlenty of screen theory also plays out what and Its Others spectatorship is like for cis women, or for gay people. Mulvey even suggested elsewhere that (for Shola) there’s a kind of transsexuality to the female spectator within the male gaze when she misrecognizes herself in the male protagonist.2 I want to set that aside to ask about the trans woman spectator. Who does she become in the structure of the male gaze? To the trans woman spectator, the woman on screen that is both castrated and castrating might be the very thing to be desired. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI want to focus not so much on the male gaze, but on the cis gaze – a looking that harbors anxiety about the slippages and transformations between genders, but which also harbors desires for those transitions as well.

  • The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt (Sceptre)
    The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt (Sceptre). 22 January 2006 In his best-selling Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , John Berendt took the lid off the city of Savannah, Georgia. What he found was intriguing enough to put the book on the New York Times best-seller list for longer than any other book in history. If Berendt can do that with Savannah, what could he not do with Venice, that most fabled of cities? The answer is, oddly, not that much, given the potential of the most romantic city on earth. Still, The City of Falling Angels is unfailingly interesting, and manages to be so without trotting out any of the over-familiar facts, figures and fantasies surrounding the city. Berendt’s is very much an account of present-day Venice; though, Venice being Venice, almost every current event needs to be traced back to a Byzantine past. Berendt shows himself in apparently effortless command of both present shenanigans and past convolutions. Falling Angels has no single focus; or rather, its focus is Venice, as exemplified by a clutch of disparate intrigues. At the centre of these intrigues stands the fire that destroyed La Fenice, Venice’s fabled opera house, on 29 January 1996. Berendt happened to arrive in Venice three days after the fire, and whereas one assumes that he must have been aghast at the tragedy, it certainly provided him with excellent copy for the book he was in Venice to write. He rose to the opportunity, and he gives us, amongst many other things, a full and fascinating account of the vicissitudes bedevilling the inquest into the fire.
