In 1991, author John Barth described Kassirer’s stories as “sly, wry and fanciful, fairy-tale realistic.” She contributed poetry and short fiction to publications such as Yellow Edenwald Field, a Buffalo Ochre Papers Journal, and Blatant Artifice. She was the author of two books for children, Magic Elizabeth (1966) and The Doll Snatchers (1969) collections of short stories, including The Hidden Wife and Other Stories, illustrated by Willyum Rowe (1991) and Milly (2008) and her final novella, Katzenjammered (2010). Norma Kassirer was both a writer and an artist, putting both talents to work in the creation of artist books made entirely with her text and images or by “reclaiming” other books through ingenious enhancements. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘No,’ said Tilly and wiped her sweaty palms on her trousers. ‘So you are going to kill me,’ she cried. ‘Dunny’s mum’s a slut, Dunnybum’s Mum’s a slut.’ (Stewart Pettyman and the other school children tease Tilly as a child) Part 1 She realised she’d have to be crafty, employ stubborn resistance and subtle violence against this stronger woman (Tilly) who was determined to stay.

After suffering from this enigmatic illness for five years, she discovered an unlikely source of hope and healing: a biography of Alice James, the bright, witty, and often bedridden sibling of brothers Henry James, the novelist, and William James, the father of psychology. Just 21, unable to hold a book or stand for a shower, she lost her job and consigned herself to her bed. ![]() When Jennifer Lunden became chronically ill after moving from Canada to Maine, her case was a medical mystery. A Silent Spring for the human body, this wide-ranging, genre-crossing literary mystery interweaves the author's quest to understand the source of her own condition with her telling of the story of the chronically ill 19th-century diarist Alice James-ultimately uncovering the many hidden health hazards of life in America. ![]() ![]() Their ubiquitous lack of empathy and understanding for the concerns of others, their downright brutality and self-centeredness pervades the whole storyline and gives prove of the author's rather pessimistic view of what was then going on in contemporary America. In the novel representatives of the upper class are engaged in acts of egotism, self-aggrandizement, and heartlessness. ![]() Fitzgerald's masterpiece primarily deals with the American upper class in the 1920s and demonstrates some of the internal processes of “high society." He took life by the throat and simultaneously pointed at social injustices that were accompanying the economic prosperity of his time. This seems to be the author's intention, when in a largely poetic tone he depicts life in the so-called “Roaring Twenties“. Robert Frost, a contemporary of Francis Scott Fitzgerald, once said that “poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.“ In Fitzgerald's fabulous novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, The Deconstruction of the American Dream in The Great Gatsby ![]() ![]() The Deconstruction of the American Dream in The Great Gatsbyĩ. ![]() ![]() ![]() Molly Bloom The New York International Theatre Festival Presents For roughly 20,000 words there is hardly a punctuation mark cordoning off cogitation, allowing porous boundaries between separate images and lines of thought to clash, merge and then part ways again. On the page this episode reads like an unedited transcript, writing that offers a linear representation of the simultaneity of thought, the echo chamber of the mind. The episode depicts a sleepless Molly Bloom in the early morning of June 17, 1904, unable to turn her mind off as she meditates on sex, death, bodily pleasure and abjection, and her complicated marriage to Leopold Bloom, the central character of Ulysses. Self-satisfied and seemingly more comfortable in her body than most, this is Eilín O’Dea’s embodiment of Molly Bloom, lifted from the pages of the ‘Penelope’ episode of Joyce’s Ulysses. Leaning like a cabaret singer on an iron bedpost, a gold scarf wrapped loosely around her neck, she presents us with a warbling love song, accompanied by the ghostly strains of an accordion. She struts out on stage as the lights come up, affecting a smooth, liquid gait while absently kicking aside a stray bit of clothing from her path.

Peter Sokolov is the HIGHLIGHT of this book. Peter hadn’t yet finished checking off everyone on the list. The plot is built everything up so well, the calm before the storm because you know it is not the end. ![]() I couldn’t stop swiping through the pages. I was on the edge of my seat, the angst, the suspense, Peter’s darkness, Sara’s courage to withstand his assaults, all the threads that Anna has so beautifully woven.
