If the much-talked-about digital format (or something like it) catches on, we could be carried back into our musical and cultural past. The recording industry may indeed have something to worry about. Now what is there to say about it? An assessment of the first-ever Cyberarts Festival in Boston, where art criticism is forced to play catch-up with technology. "Bits of Beauty," by Harvey Blume (June 3, 1999) Shapiro, the author of The Control Revolution. Is the Internet giving ordinary people more control over their lives? An e-mail exchange with Andrew L.

It was over in just eight minutes.īoth Elvis and Priscilla had affairs during their marriage. The wedding was arranged by Presley's manager Tom Parker to maximize publicity, and featured very few guests. The couple married on May 1, 1967, at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. However, this claim has been questioned by biographer Suzanne Finstad. In her book Elvis and Me, Priscilla said she was a virgin and that she and Elvis did not have sex until their wedding night. Priscilla didn't see Elvis again until the summer of 1962, and she eventually moved to Memphis a year later. They spent a lot of time together until he left West Germany, in March 1960. However, he convinced them to allow her to see him. ![]() Priscilla's parents weren't happy with her late return home that evening, and insisted that she never see Elvis again.

But it is the carver who translates the image into wood. ![]() The artist (for example: Hiroshige) creates the drawing. His series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo pushes the limits of the medium and the two-dimensional plane.Ī Ukiyo-e print requires the combined labor of several artisans. Hiroshige’s compositions are the more dynamic. But my favorite artist of Ukiyo-e is Hokusai’s contemporary Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). ![]() Katsushika Hokusai’s (1760-1849) print The Great Wave Off of Kanagawa (part of the series 36 Views from Mount Fuji), has been reproduced on everything from mugs to t-shirts to calendars, and is probably the example most readers are familiar with. I first encountered Japanese woodblock prints – specifically those done in the traditional Ukiyo-e method – on a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Tate is in the middle of ending his mostly miserable 4-year marriage. “So…I like to try a little bit of everything and everyone.” … “I’d like to try you.” ![]() Women or men, it doesn’t matter, he is up for anything with anybody, and he is well and truly captivated from the moment he walks into his local bar and spies the hot new bartender. ![]() He is a successful attorney, gorgeous, arrogant and completely filterless, and an absolute manwhore. ![]() Logan is the brother of Cole from Edible (book #3 of the Exquisite series, though you don’t have to have read that book first). I’ve been meaning to read this book for so long! It’s only my second foray into the world of m/m, and my first book by Ella Frank, and I was really impressed! I completely fell for Logan and Tate, their dynamic is sensational, and I love their story – funny, sexy, emotional and intense (and did I mention oh-so-freaking sexy!), this is a beautifully written love story, and I really enjoyed it. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Crossing Borders by Sahar Amer![]() By juxtaposing these Arabic texts with French works, she reveals a medieval French literary discourse on same-sex desire and sexual practices that has gone all but unnoticed. ![]() |a "In Crossing Borders, Sahar Amer turns to the rich body of Arabic sexological writings to focus, in particular, on their open attitude toward erotic love between women. |a Crossing disciplinary boundaries : a cross-cultural approach to same-sex love between women - Crossing linguistic borders : Etienne de Fougères's Livre des manières and Arabic erotic treatises - Crossing sartorial lines : female same-sex marriage in Yde et Olive and The story of Qamar al-Zaman and Princess Boudour from the One thousand and one nights - Crossing the lines of friendship : Jean Renart's Escoufle, Saracen silk and intercultural encounters - Crossing social and cultural borders : Jean Renart's Escoufle and the traditions of Zarf, Jawaris and Qaynas in the Islamicate world - Beyond Orientalist presuppositions. ![]() |a Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-238) and index. |b love between women in medieval French and Arabic literatures / ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Mooncakes wendy xu![]() It’s up there with the Tea Dragon books for that cosy magical vibe (and like the Tea Dragon books, this was initially a webcomic)! There’s a lot of great rep here, too, with two Chinese-American main characters who are complex and realistic one, Nova, is a queer witch who uses hearing aids, and the other, Tam, is a non-binary werewolf. This book is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever read.

Horn discusses the fascination with Jewish deaths, both literally and metaphorically, the different forms of antisemitism, and the desire to for some Jews ‘fit in’ or erase outward signs of Jewishness. A recently released essay collection, “People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present,” is a space where Horn delves into the nuances of antisemitism with an unmatched poignancy and recounts painful exiles and pogroms (like in Harbin, China in the early 20th century) that you probably never heard of. If those words make you uncomfortable then award-winning author Dara Horn has begun to do her job. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments All pretty horses book![]() ![]() As it is, some of the epic sweep is contained and the film remains remarkably moving, but may wind up ultimately not finding its commercial or artistic audience because of the compromises. McCarthys Multitude(s) : All the Pretty Horses and Los. His mother and father are finally divorcing after years of separation. John Grady Cole, the main character, is just 16 years old and attending his grandfathers funeral when the novel opens. ![]() What happened? Twenty minutes would have certainly helped smooth out the few rough spots, and a two-and-a-half hour or three hour movie might have been some sort of masterpiece. Hang and Rattle : John Grady Coles Horsebreaking in Typescript, Novel, and Film Chapter 3. Set in west Texas about 125 miles from the Mexican border near Del Rio and Langtry, All the Pretty Horses is a story of loss and adventure. ![]() The financing studio balked at the length and sold it off to Miramax, who contractually required a cut no longer than two and a quarter hours. There are stories about how Thornton's film was first cut at four hours, then the director agreed to deliver a three hour version. Also, Lacey Rawlins at one point crucially (suicidally?) antagonizes a fellow in prison, and we have no idea what bad blood has been brewing between these two. Damon made me believe that John was in love through the sheer force of his acting, but the audience needed to be courted along in this romance. The story and characters insist that John Cole and Alejandra have fallen in love we only get to see a swift montage of sex-making, which is not the same thing at all. ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is quite effective, though there are some serious gaping holes in the story. ![]() |
