![]() ![]() The allure of the Kane saga was heightened all the more by the fact that he did not achieve renown until he was at the age at which most people are retiring from their professions. This Kane paradox-brawny and tough, sensitive and creative-was at the heart of much of the public’s interest in Kane as a person. A rough-and-tumble blue-collar man prone to brawling and drinking, Kane also sought out beauty in the industrial world he inhabited. ![]() With a full account of Kane’s life as a working man, including his time as a steelworker, coal miner, street paver, and commercial painter in and around Pittsburgh in the early twentieth century, the authors explore how these occupations shaped his development as an artist and his breakthrough success in the modern art world. In conversation with Sylvia Rhor, Director and Curator of the University Art Gallery (UAG) at the University of PittsburghĪmerican Workman presents a comprehensive, novel reassessment of the life and work of one of America’s most influential self-taught artists, John Kane. ![]()

Each section of the book corresponds to a different period in the history of the site and some chapters may be several thousand years apart. Many artifacts are found, including a Roman temple, basilica, synagogue, mosque and castle all on the same site. The story begins with an archaeological dig in the 1960s that takes place at the mythical site of Makor, near Jerusalem. Some characters, places and events are historical, others are fictional. Michener is a voyage through history, focused on Israel and the Middle East. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “One should never trust a monster, but as something heavy filled my chest, I believed him.

I was relieved and sad when I read the last line and finished the book for good. “If I could long for the devil, it meant I had some darkness in me too.” From the beginning everything made sense, the writing, storyline, plot development and character’s mindset. ![]() Stringing characters from the prequel like Christian and Gianna and giving the perfect insight into their lives. Miraculously, each sequel outdid the last in the best way possible. Boy, it didn’t only satisfy them and served a lot more. Never did I imagine myself conceding into the craze this trope had, and eventually falling head over heels for it.įrom the last book in the series, THE MADDEST OBSESSION, I had high expectations for THE DARKEST TEMPTATION.

The son’s book is fundamentally different from the father’s. Is Gods and Generals as good as The Killer Angels? I think not, but it is nonetheless quite enjoyable and stands as a worthy tribute by a son to his father. We may hope that Maxwell will want to produce a movie based on Gods and Generals. Ronald Maxwell, director of the movie Gettysburg, which was based on Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels, was the prime instigator of the younger Shaara’s efforts toward his new novel. ![]() Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara is the “prequel” to his late father’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Killer Angels.

One concerns an Italian girl taken to Prague in 1355 by the Holy Roman Empress, Anna von Schweidnitz. Here, four cases of hirsute females are reconsidered with reference to this medical perspective, and to texts and images uncovered by my current research at the Herzog August Library and German archives. Through the Wild Man tradition, modern historians routinely link early modern reception of historical hypertrichosis cases to issues of ethnicity without, however, recognising early modern awareness of links between temporary hirsuteness and the pathological nexus of starvation and anorexia. Most early modern European cases of hypertrichosis (genetically determined all-over body and facial hair) involve German-speaking parentage or patronage, and are documented in German print culture. Modern investigations into hirsuteness were initiated by nineteenth-century German physicians. ![]() Human hirsuteness, or pathological hair growth, can be symptomatic of various conditions, including genetic mutation or inheritance, and some cancers and hormonal disturbances. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Island of Sea Women is narrated by Young-sook, a haenyeo whom we follow over a period of many years, from the 1930s to 2008. The haenyeo, for anyone else who doesn’t know, are female divers who gather seafood such as abalone, octopus and conch from the waters surrounding the island of Jeju. ![]() Before reading Lisa See’s latest novel, The Island of Sea Women, I had never heard of the haenyeo communities of Jeju in South Korea, but now I have been enlightened! One of the things I love about reading is that it gives me the opportunity to learn about places and cultures I would otherwise be likely to go through life knowing little or nothing about. ![]() ![]() ![]() This moral interpretation of the work of selling her writing is of a peculiar yet utterly characteristic bent. Publishers today know what they are doing when they paper Berlin’s stories with these radiant portraits, photographs taken by her former husband, the jazz musician and entrepreneur Buddy Berlin.ĭuring the aforementioned 1960 literary negotiations, Berlin herself was so miserable with the “mercantile ring” of her contract, in particular the fact of being paid for a novel she had not yet written, that she ended up calling it off, explaining that “Nothing ever has hit me quite so hard, morally.” In a 1960 letter to the poet Edward Dorn, Berlin relays the advice of her agent during painful literary negotiations: “Forget it, sign-put your face on the book jacket and you’ll sell a million copies.” In 2018, Picador published Welcome Home, a “portrait” of Berlin comprised of letters, photos and memoir fragments. Her lipstick and earrings are picked up and highlighted by the rose and cerulean of the title font. ![]() On the cover of my copy, Berlin’s portrait is almost offputtingly stylish.
