I liked reading Edith Wharton’s The Glimpses of the Moon, but since it was the Slaves of Golconda’s latest pick, I think everything that needed to be said about it has already been said. It’s trashy! It’s maudlin! It has too much champagne and too few surprises! It’s still fun to read! After reading a [...] ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 72 days ago

Whoever left that comment a while back recommending Edith Wharton - thank you. I read "Ethan Frome" in one hour, as it was probably meant to be read - in one sitting. "Ethan Frome" is one of the most perfectly constructed novels I've ever read. As a result, I just checked out "The House of Mirth", "The Reef", "The Custom of the Country", and "The Age of Innocence". Reading more Wharton will be a refreshing change from the non-stop reading/researching I've been doing since November. All my other reading has been in a very different realm. ...

The organization that owns The Mount, Edith Wharton's famous Lenox estate, has been given more time to raise $3 million to avoid foreclosure. Sandra Boss, The Mount's chairman, said Wednesday the estate's major creditor has extended the deadline for a second month, until May 31. The group said it has raised $800,000 in its emergency campaign, including $240,000 in the past 30 days. The group said it has also received other donations, including $25,000 from former Walt Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner and his wife, Jane, to get ready for the 2008 season. The Mount, which gets about 30,000 visitors a year, will open to the public for the season May 9. Wharton designed and built the house in 1902. She finished her breakthrough novel, "The House of Mirth," there, and got the inspiration for "Ethan Frome." ...

"...it might be good to know that ‘belly-buster’ (and ‘belly-flop’) was, in some parts of the country, an expression for coasting face-down on a sled on a snowy hill. Could Edith Wharton have used it in Ethan Frome?" We've gotten The Writerly Pause going again. John Yelverton has recommendations on Southern Literature and also how regionalism affects words. ...

Listening to Minnesota conservative radio host Jason Lewis, you'd get the impression that a week of hip hop in a public school will shatter the very foundations of Western civilization. During his May 2 show, the KTLK talker went off about plans by Woodbury's Lake Junior High to bring in Hmong hip hop artist Tou Saiko Lee for a series of classes teaching sixth graders about Hmong culture, collaborative poem-writing and emceeing. The week would conclude with an all-school assembly featuring a performance of student work. "My god! What is going on," Lewis moaned. "To hell with Shakespeare, to hell with Tennyson, to hell with science and math; we're going to teach our sixth graders how to be hip hop emcees!?" Hip hop is "garbage," he added, and as evidence, he quoted that font of high culture, the former Mr. Christie Brinkley: "Even Billy Joel says rap is crap." Lewis' opinions have raised ire among local hip hop and spoken-word artists, many who have for years used spoken word as a teaching tool in educational and artistic settings. Writing at CultureBully , spoken-word artist Kyle "El Guante" Myhre says, "Mr. Lewis is fighting a straw man; no one is ever going to suggest that we replace math and science (or Ethan Frome, for that matter) with hip hop... To somehow suggest that Shakespeare is taking a backseat to 2pac in our public schools is, even for conservative talk radio, laughably ridiculous, unfounded fear-mongering." He talked ...

Nella produzione narrativa dellinizio del Novecento esiste un piccolo capolavoro al quale fino a oggi non è stata prestata la dovuta attenzione: Ethan Frome di Edith Wharton. Fin dalla sua apparizione, nel 1911, questo romanzo si propone come una sorta di ordigno narrativo affascinante e perturbante. ... Source: comedy.more-advanced.com --- 69 days ago
