“There on the doorstep stood my trainer, T, holding a trash bag full of her belongings, looking sad and bedraggled. Not long after her divorce was final, Teresa showed up at Cassandra’s doorstep, also recently single. However, Peterson didn’t pursue a relationship with Teresa until her 25-year marriage to Mark Pierson came to an end.

The following version of this novel was used to create this study guide: Riordan, Rick. Geung in "Disco for the Departed" (2006), I know that Laos is (or was) no more homogenized than any other tribal region. Thanks to the epic journey from one end of Laos to the other of Siri's morgue assistant, Mr. Siri Paiboun series, Laos merged into Cambodia/Thailand/Vietnam, just like all Native American tribes were somehow lumped together in my mind before Hillerman's books. Before I listened to Colin Cotterill's Dr. For a few charmed hours, I was transported into a Native American culture nothing like the Ojibwa I was a little familiar with. Tony Hillerman (1925 - 2008) introduced me to Navajo culture when I picked up a used paperback copy of "The Blessing Way" (1970), laying between small metal cutouts of boots painted turquoise with magnets glued to the back, and a worn and rusted set of metric wrenches at Peddlers Pass in Prescott, AZ. I still can’t quite believe we won’t be able to go back but whatever happens, depending on the course the Freemen decide to take, it will never be the same. I felt as if I was at a funeral, the funeral of someone I loved, my legs hollow and shaky, stomach fluttery and taut. The place was still being ransacked even as we held our final fling amidst it all. It’s over a week ago that the garden at Moorbank closed its gates and I’ve hesitated to write about it, unable to find the words. Oh to say them more intensely than the things themselves Perhaps we are here in order to say: house,īridge, fountain, gate, pitcher, fruit-tree, window –Īt most: column, tower?…but to say them you must understand, Some word he has gained, some pure word, the yellow and blue He brings, not a handful of earth, unsayable to others but instead For when the traveller returns from the mountain slopes into the valley, His 1912 journey to India is as much a voyage of sexual discovery as geographical discovery. At 34, he was a virgin “and would perhaps be virginal all his life.” He had grown up inside an “old, powdery, frangible halo of women,” and he had struggled to come to terms with his homosexual feelings. Morgan continued to start and abandon new works, increasingly haunted by the sense that he lacked crucial life experience. Shortly afterward, he began to sketch the outline of a new novel that would contain “no lovemaking,” but only “democratic affection.” It would be called Arctic Summer. Two years earlier, Morgan had published Howard’s End, his best-received novel yet. He encounters Kenneth Searight, a cynical British Army officer who announces that Forster will find India a land of prolific homosexual opportunity. As the novel opens, Morgan Forster is onboard a ship, heading to India. Drawing on historical documentation, including Forster’s own diaries and letters, Galgut painstakingly recreates the novelist’s struggle to write his masterpiece, A Passage to India. Arctic Summer (2014), a biographical novel by South African author Damon Galgut, follows the British novelist Edward Morgan “E.M.” Forster during the period from 1910 to 1924, when he did not publish a single word of fiction, instead, traveling to India and the Middle East to explore his previously unacknowledged homosexuality. These too were quiet and discreet, and most of London’s citizens didn’t know they even existed. And then there were the molly houses, or male brothels. Some places were noted meeting spots: the Crown pub in Charing Cross Road, the Intrepid Fox pub in Soho, the Long Bar at the Trocadero. Gay men had to be discreet (not something poor Oscar was noted for, sadly) and they had to be careful about where and how they met. Oscar Wilde is probably the most famous gay man to suffer imprisonment for being homosexual, but he was by no means the only one. Punishable, if caught and convicted, by prison.

I think why it stuck to Marie Antoinette is because it confirmed people's prejudices. Lady ANTONIA FRASER (Biographer): In short, a royal chestnut. Others used it, advanced it, but Marie Antoinette? Nuh-uh. A 17th century French queen may have made that heartless remark. The 18th century queen never said let them eat cake. Searching for the real Marie, her most recent biographer, Lady Antonia Fraser, destroys one myth. She's been vilified and, to some experts anyway, misunderstood. STAMBERG: The doomed young French queen has been portrayed in music, paintings, novels, films. (Soundbite of opera, The Ghosts of Versailles) SUSAN STAMBERG: In John Corigliano's 1991 opera, The Ghosts of Versailles, Marie Antoinette is haunted by her final terrible hours. Since then, her life and death have been spelled out often, in fact and fiction, as we learn from NPR special correspondent Susan Stamberg. That is, at least, a better review than the crowd gave the original Marie Antoinette, the queen who was guillotined in the French Revolution. The movie premiered, appropriately enough, in France, where it was booed, along with slight applause. That may be the fervent wish of American theater owners when the film Marie Antoinette opens next month. He would also wield a sharper enchanted sword which was known as the Fragarach or the Answerer. He used to draw all his power from the planet Earth and he was also in possession of extremely sharp wit.
