![]() ![]() Hamill's sprawling novel, however, rushes pell-mell past Tweed and the 1860's like a tourist with a checklist. But ''Gangs of New York'' at least manages to focus its attention on one place and time, the brawling Five Points of Lower Manhattan in the middle of the 19th century, which it calls to life with startling vividness. Both employ the Civil War draft riots of 1863 as a backdrop, both offer a significant supporting role to the legendary Manhattan political godfather Boss Tweed, and both are fables about an Irish immigrant son seeking vengeance against his father's Anglo-Saxon killer.īoth are also lumpy, uneven, overly ambitious works in which the demands of history and of fictional narrative often operate at cross-purposes. THERE are instructive similarities between Pete Hamill's new novel, ''Forever,'' and Martin Scorsese's new film, ''Gangs of New York.'' (In fact, the 1928 Herbert Asbury book on which Scorsese's film is based is mentioned in Hamill's acknowledgments.) Both seek a larger cultural significance in the early history of Irish immigration to New York. ![]() ![]() Tama highlights 5 points you probably didn't know about the poem: It's largely autobiographicalĮven though it is a sort of historical fantasy, interweaving real history with fiction, the experiences of Don Juan's life are, to a great extent, drawn from Byron's own life. Tama and Karin are a formidable duo, creating a colourful tapestry of beautifully crafted words and virtuosic music of the highest calibre in this performance that scintillates with the romance, passion, humour and intrigue of one of the greatest adventure stories ever told. ![]() As the story progresses it grows difficult to tell where fact ends and fiction begins – as Byron himself famously put it, “truth is strange, stranger than fiction”. 'Don Juan' moves seamlessly between the steamy world of the lustful Don, and the equally scandalous life of Lord Byron himself, so each becomes a reflection of the other. Actor/ writer/ director Tama Matheson and acclaimed guitarist/ actor Karin Schaupp have teamed up to co-create a performance extracting the author's own life and matched by guitar music of Turina, Pujol, and Tarrega. ![]() ![]() Lord Byron's 'Don Juan' is a feast of music and adventure, following the life of one of the most magnetic and seductive heroes in western literature, and his equally charismatic creator. ![]() ![]() When expectation falls to ruins, what is there left for love?” Yet for all their pleasures, they are as tenuous as light and air, and demand no fidelity.Īnd then there is this: Does not love depend on some belief in the future, some expectation beyond the delight of the moment? We fall in love because we imagine a certain life together. ![]() There are, too, those intimate and nearly primitive stirrings, the scent of the neck, the delicious tremble of skin and breath. Before each other, we are moved to bravery and we come to reveal more and more of ourselves, and when we do, those very traits that caused us some embarrassment or shame become beautiful in ways we did not understand before, and the entire world becomes more beautiful for it. And then comes the surprise of discovery we share certain aspirations, certain appreciations, and that which is different excites us. ![]() “What is it that causes us to fall in love? We are met with those first, initial glimpses- a kind of curiosity, a longing for that which is both familiar and unknown in the other. ![]() ![]() The focus of this essay picks up on a related point that McGahern makes in the same interview. ![]() While it’s a common trait of most good fiction, in tackling Amongst Women again, a recurring realisation I experienced was the extreme depth of thinking about these characters that had so clearly taken place off the page. In a 1993 interview with the Howard County Poetry and Literature Society ( very niche but also very on YouTube), McGahern talks about how only 5% of what he writes for a novel ends up in the finished product. Every sentence is golden, each stuffed with meaning without being weighed down by it. That last one might have a hint of hyperbole, but that’s how excited I feel about this book having read it again to prepare this piece. ![]() What about this: “the best novel ever written in the English language.” Try that one on for size and let me know when you’re done in the changing room. Some might say “best novel of the 1990s.” Dropping the Irish tag but narrowing the pool to just one decade of writing? Fair enough. ![]() ![]() Amongst Women - it’s up there isn’t it? The most popular way of framing it is probably “best Irish novel of the second half of the 20th century.” Everyone who sits on that fence avoids the indecency of stirring the shit in the Joyce/Beckett/Bowen/O’Brien (Flann)/O’Brien (Kate) cauldron of masterpieces. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They will have to track down three Worldkeepers hidden in Kristoff’s books-magical items that when used together will seal the worlds off for good. It’s up to Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia to reenter the book world one last time to keep the worlds from colliding, causing mass destruction. ![]() When a frost beast is spotted in Santa Rosa-and more mystical creatures start appearing all over America-it’s soon clear that the characters from Denver Kristoff’s works are invading the real world.

This largesse is typical of Isaacson's views and of his writing. ![]() In Toronto for a book talk, he said to me on the phone: "The painting was heavily restored but it's still a compelling work of both art and science. Isaacson devoted much of a chapter to this painting, arguing for its authenticity and its genius. What fantastic timing for biographer Walter Isaacson: His 600-page bio of Leonardo da Vinci was published a few weeks before Leonardo was all over the news because of the record-smashing sale of Salvator Mundi. ![]() ![]() ![]() All her books feature her favorite feisty, intelligent heroines (badasses in bodices!), wickedly inappropriate banter, and sexy, snarky heroes you want to both strangle and kiss.
