Emblematic of Genet’s erotically-charged vision is the Breton-striped sailor from his novel Querelle de Brest.īorn in 1910 to a prostitute, adopted by a carpenter, raised in the provinces, then leaving to drift around Europe working as a beggar and prostitute, Genet created work – novels, plays and artist essays – that explored themes of homosexuality and criminality, fuelling fascination about his own unconventional backstory. French avant-garde writer Jean Genet's inversion of the moral and literary zeitgeist gave way to an enduring romanticism with French vagrancy and a tawdry underworld that continues to inspire artists, musicians and fashion designers to this day. ![]() Sometimes, the fashion legacy of a famous figure owes itself not to the way they dressed but the sartorial influence of their life’s work. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Regent, Laurent’s uncle, has shipped him off there in hopes that Laurent will die and he can continue to rule unchallenged. Prince’s Gambit has our main characters off to the borderlands between Vere and Akeilos, both of which are poised for war. Slavery itself plays a much smaller role in book 2 than it had in book 1. I was quite pleased when Laurent actually points out Damen’s hypocrisy in regards to slavery, saying that Damen enjoys slavery in others, but not in himself. Both main characters, Damen and Laurent, are definitely more likable this time around, but they still have their flaws. I enjoyed it so much more than the first, now that the characters are fully established and we can take the time to watch their development. As per usual, spoiler alert for anyone who intends to read it.

The last book of his I read is Rationality, which is going to be the focus of our conversation today. But the first book of Steve's I read was The Sense of Style, a manual for good writing which exemplifies its own advice, and in which I learned that new information should come at the end of the sentence and that one of Steve's favourite Yiddish words is bubbe-meise. He's authored many famous books, including The Blank Slate, The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now. Steve is a cognitive psychologist and one of the great public intellectuals of our age.

We sense how insufferably certain of himself and earnest to flex his power George III is, and how subtle and skilled Franklin is in cultivating the support of a reluctant French court. Yet one has a sense of “being there” at Lexington, Quebec, Boston, Charleston, New York City, and Trenton and Princeton. Atkinson skillfully manages to interweave accounts of the various British and American figures, and battles from Quebec to Charleston, South Carolina without confusing this reader or losing him in minutiae. Based on my reading of this volume, I look forward to reading the next two. This is the first volume of Rick Atkinson’s proposed Revolution Trilogy.

It was different from anything I’d ever watched, and it made me look at comedy differently. But it was something about Even Stevens that was a turning point for me.

Now he began to stress the possibility of divine grace, even for the hardened atheist and family tyrant who is the hero of Le Noeud de vipères (1932 Vipers' Tangle), the most successful of the later novels. ![]() Earlier he had been criticized for portraying sinners more attractively than believers in the narrow, provincial, middle-class families of his novels, where, as all sexuality implies sin, love and happiness become impossible.

He published his first volume of poems in 1909 more poetry and two novels followed before he was mobilized as an army medical orderly in 1914.
