6/30/2023 0 Comments Curious leslie![]() The interdisciplinary qualities and the creative social, political and artistic forces of the form appeal to Curious, whose work crosses seamlessly between theatrical-style performance, installation, film-making, and publication. ![]() Since 1997, when Hill and Paris first formed their company, performance art (or ‘live art’ as it is better known in the UK, where Curious has primarily been based) has become one of the most vibrant, cutting-edge and innovative forms of artistic practice. ![]() Hybridity allows us the maximum flexibility for our work and the ideas we engage with.” Best Before End, Curious, 2014.

On the desk, the lamp is a present from a very old friend, as is the blue and black ceramic bowl, which is filled with cards from my children, scraps of paper, old notebooks. On the walls at the moment are framed pictures of Rennes-les-Bains, where Sepulchre is set, and Tarot cards. I use the tiny laptop on my desk for novels only – no email, no journalism, no internet, no administration – and I hoard only books and paintings relevant to the project I’m working on. In the summer, the fabulous 80-foot copper beech, wine-coloured crimson leaves, a horse chestnut and sweet chestnut trees, turned from green to gold and shaded the room beautifully. ![]() One window faces west (the other south), but since I write very early in the morning, beginning when it’s still dark and often cold (hence the thick bedsocks on the armchair, brought back from Lithuania by my husband last winter), it suits my working life to be driven from my desk by the sun in the afternoon. As I’ve got older, I realise all I need is a view, light and to be up high. Although I was seduced by the idea of the need for a room of one’s own, it is the atmosphere of a place, rather than somewhere unique and private, that matters most. ![]() The walls were already painted a deep red, so it felt a comfortable place in which to set up shop for a while. This little study, on the first floor, was one of only a couple of habitable rooms. Kate Mosse was also featured in the Guardian’s Writers Rooms series in 2007. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Beginners vanderbilt![]() He is a contributing editor of Wired UK, Outside, and Artforum. TOM VANDERBILT has written for many publications, including The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Popular Science, Financial Times, Smithsonian, and London Review of Books, among many others. ![]() He tackles five main skills (and picks up a few more along the way), choosing them for their difficulty to master and their distinct lack of career marketability-chess, singing, surfing, drawing, and juggling. Inspired by his young daughter's insatiable need to know how to do almost everything, and stymied by his own rut of mid-career competence, Tom Vanderbilt begins a year of learning purely for the sake of learning. ![]() Why do so many of us stop learning new skills as adults? Are we afraid to fail? Have we forgotten the sheer pleasure of being a beginner? Or is it simply a fact that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Join Tom Vanderbilt as he discusses his new book, BEGINNERS with Virginia Heffernan on P&P Live! This event is rescheduled from Januand will be streamed online as part of our P&P Live! Series. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk![]() ![]() ![]() Tom Wingo is an unemployed South Carolinian football coach whose internist wife is having an affair with a pompous cardiac man. The last part of the book, the Court Martial and its aftermath, seems slightly anticlimactic, but all in all this stands out as perhaps the most important novel of the war in the Pacific.Ī flabby, fervid melodrama of a high-strung Southern family from Conroy ( The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline), whose penchant for overwriting once again obscures a genuine talent. The plot, with all the ramifications of routine, shore leave, home entanglements, builds up to the moment when Maryk, laboriously self-tutored, takes over the command and Queeg is confuted. The Caine is an almost derelict minesweeper, and as the story develops, you know her full complement of officers and men, with Ensign (later Lieutenant) Willie Keith a central figure. ![]() ![]() Queeg is a modern Captain Bligh without his abilities, his seamanship, his ideals. Here is World War II's Mutiny on the Bounty. The story of the Caine has probably been drawn from many dramas of the Pacific, dramas in which the Captain, a martinet, is the villain and the victim of his frustrations and his sadism. It lacks the quick "gag" play, but the situations, even when tragic, are brightened by humor. It has the underlying sense of values of Tales of the South Pacific. This has the sombre and dramatic values of Mister Roberts. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments The chimney sweeper experience![]() The new version was called Songs of Innocence and Experience. Then in 1794 Blake expanded the book and included a whole new set of poems. The first poem, also called "The Chimney Sweeper," was published in 1789 in a volume called The Songs of Innocence, and you should definitely check out that version, if you're interested in more scoop on chimney-sweeping. Really, it's a messy business, and in the late 18th century, when Blake was at the peak of his poetry prowess, chimney-sweeping was tantamount to a slave trade.īlake was so disgusted with the whole chimney-sweeping industry that he wrote not one but two poems about it. As it turns out, despite what Mary Poppins may have led you to believe, scrubbing flues is not all skipping and singing. ![]() If there's one thing that really got William Blake riled up it was chimney-sweeping.
