Anna consults ``street-corner psychiatrist'' Doc, who roams New York's Lower East Side and charges patients $10 an hour for his listening skills. This theory is challenged by protagonist Anna O (meant to suggest a famous Freud patient), a lesbian secure in her attraction to women yet struggling with male sexism, her family's homophobia and her feelings that she is unlovable. The novel is prefaced by a troubling quote from Freud, which alleges that lesbianism results from a woman's frustrated Elektra complex and desire to punish her father. Lesbian writer Schulman follows her well-received After Delores and People in Trouble with this insightful allegory, which explores the feminine and masculine qualities said to coexist within every personality.

In essays that dance lightly from New York to Arizona, from India to Greece, World of Wonders explores Nezhukumatathil’s experiences as the daughter of a Filipina mother and Indian father, as a wife, mother, writer, teacher, and-most of all-as one living creature among a myriad of things that swim, fly, crawl, and flower. “And what a magnificent telegraph we might send back,” she says, “especially if other humans have ever made you feel alone on this earth.” With wry, warm-hearted, bizarre, and beautiful descriptions of the natural world, Nezhukumatathil maps all the ways humans can find kinship on the planet Earth.

Twenty-First Century America By Christine O’Connor military and an address from then-President Trump.Īs communities continue celebrating America’s birthday, this essay remains a timely, and hopeful message to readers. It was a response to the altering of traditional Independence Day celebrations to include a showcase of the U.S. The following piece was written on July 4 th of 2018. For many, however, recent decisions by the Supreme Court testimony submitted to the January 6 th Committee and ongoing concerns for the future of democracy, tempered such celebrations. This past week, after a two year hiatus, Americans returned to traditional Fourth of July celebrations. Yet the arc of this ordeal, although it forms the book’s skeleton, is not Machado’s true subject. Is it when she flies into a rage after Machado fails to respond immediately to a text? When she digs her fingers into Machado’s arm? Over the course of a formative love affair, the woman-who dwells, witchlike, in a cabin, in Bloomington, Indiana, which Machado calls the “Dream House”-will accuse Machado of cheating throw things at her lie to her manipulate her scream at her and reduce her, again and again, to tears. Just as it is difficult to say when the book begins, it is difficult to say when Machado’s girlfriend, blonde and slight, also a writer, first reveals her nature. The memoir, by the acclaimed author of the short-story collection “ Her Body and Other Parties”-which was a finalist, in 2017, for the National Book Award-chronicles Machado’s experience in a horrifying relationship. Paging through this front matter feels like waiting for a haunted carnival ride to start, only to be wrong-footed. It contains a dedication, three epigraphs, an overture (declaring the author’s suspicion of paratext), a prologue, and another epigraph. The antechamber of “ In the Dream House,” a new work of memoir-cum-criticism by Carmen Maria Machado, is crowded. |
