![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Heroides, a book of imaginary letters from famous heroines to their lovers, he took the monologue out of classical drama and made it lyrical and contemporary, creating a form - the unhappy woman alone, analysing her feelings - which has conditioned literature and art ever since. Yet though he lived as a sensualist, he was centred as a poet by his knowledge of what it is like to suffer - to be helplessly, ferociously in the grip of some frustrated or denied emotional need. ![]() He made his name not with epic flattery of the vanities of the regime, like Virgil, or graceful, moralising essays, like Horace, but with two notorious poems devoted to seduction and adultery, the Amores and the Ars Amatoria, which preached that sex was the only thing really worth doing and poked malicious fun at the plain-living Roman values of military achievement and chastity within marriage promoted by the emperor. He was too young fully to appreciate the peace and stability which the emperor Augustus wrested from the war-torn ruins of the old Republic.

While Kadish often gives readings from her own work, both locally and elsewhere, she also promotes the work of other writers whose voices she believes are essential to our public conversation. “It’s a surprise and a delight to learn that the novel has been recognized by an organization I so admire.” "The writing and research for ‘The Weight of Ink’ took many years, and the process often felt like a very long journey with no map - but I fell in love with these characters and this history, and that made the work worth it,” Kadish said. Kadish, whose widely acclaimed third novel, “The Weight of Ink,” won a National Jewish Book Award, interweaves the tale of two women - one, a scribe to a blind rabbi in the 17 th century, and the other, an ailing historian in modern-day London, who has a love of Jewish history. ![]() ![]() pulls few punches in addressing her troubled childhood experiences of sexual abuse and prostitution, her heroin addiction, her drinking, her imprisonment on narcotics charges, her sex life and her relationships with abusive men.includes a Billie Holiday discography, and a number of monochrome photographs on the front and rear pastedowns and free endpapers.

This is particularly unfortunate when it comes to Neverland, which ought to be an enchanting place. Though Lowery maintains the compositional skill he’s shown in previous films like The Green Knight and The Old Man & the Gun, and though some of the visuals are striking, the film has no firm hold in a tangible space, as the scenes are either CGI or green-screened. Why do we keep going back to this well?Īlthough this latest adaptation is mostly a retread that adds little to the pantheon of Pans, it does offer-inadvertently perhaps-a crucial insight into something that’s always puzzled me about the character. Barrie’s children’s tale in those years has been a critical and commercial disaster. Hell, how about just the past 30 or so years? Every cinematic adaptation of J.M.
