![]() ![]() In the only extensive interview he gave, conducted by his sometime lover and protégé David Wojnarowicz, almost the first thing he says is that he will not discuss. He granted very few interviews, and in those he did allow he is a bristling, sprung, nervous subject, evasive to the point of embarrassment. On the single occasion he was invited to speak before an audience he failed to prepare and froze at the lectern. He wrote almost nothing about his photography for publication. ![]() For reasons in part attributable to his difficult childhood-his father left before he was born, his mother was an irascible and sometimes abusive drinker who left him with his Ukrainian immigrant grandparents for the first years of his life-Hujar refused paternalism of any kind, either toward himself or his work, and he maintained an ascetic, almost Beckettian attitude toward speaking on behalf of either. ![]() One explanation for this is the limited primary material available Hujar was coterie-famous in his lifetime, but never garnered the exposure that would generate a significant body of contemporary criticism. The critical literature on the photographer Peter Hujar’s work remains relatively slight, and that of value slighter still. ![]()

![]() ![]() How can she choose between them?Ĭheck Me Out is a contemporary romance-with just a hint of Cyrano de Bergerac-that reminds us that it is what's on the inside that matters most. Through it all, she slowly realizes that it is Will, not Mac, who she turns to for support and encouragement. She arranges for a "battle of the bands" book jam, hosts a book signing by a famous author, and finally, stages a protest that raises more than a few eyebrows. ![]() When the Franklin Library is threatened with closure, Greta leaps into action. The only problem is that he seems to be a different person in his texts than in his face-to-face conversation. Mac is heart-stoppingly gorgeous and showers her with affection, poetic text messages, and free hot chocolate at the local caf where he works. In BLUE MIRACLE, set in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Omar (Jimmy Gonzales) and his wife Becca (Fernanda Urrejola) run. Then she meets Mac in the poetry section of the library, and she is smitten.

The narrator tries to entertain Robert after a big dinner as his wife gets drowsy. The key to that change is a simple act of empathy. ![]() The change in the narrator, as he tempers his bigotry toward the handicapped, his passive racism, and his chauvinism toward his wife, is the payoff of the story. In the course of a long evening, with many drinks and a joint shared, the narrator comes to accept Robert, and then to be enlightened by him. The narrator is somewhat sullen about his wife’s intimacy-dating back to her first marriage-with this blind man with his big beard and loud voice. Robert, the blind man, and the narrator’s wife became friends when she worked as an aid for him and over the years they developed an intimacy by sending each other tapes on which they talked about their lives. In “Cathedral,” the taciturn narrator is pressed into hosting an old friend of his wife’s, a blind man whose own wife recently passed away. ![]() Something happens and, because of it, something (or someone) changes. It seems, on the evidence of the stories in this playlist, that, with rare exceptions such as Poe’s “Fall of the House of Usher” and Kipling’s “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” aside, the strongest short stories are the most straightforward. Raymond Carver’s most famous short story could not be simpler. ![]() ![]() DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN’s interest in leadership began more than half a century ago as a professor at Harvard.

I'm trying to make this review stand on its own, but I can't help but make some comparisons between these two. I read this book right after another Urban Fantasy Romance thingy that didn't work for me at all ( review here), and for some reason, liked this one a lot more even though they share some issues. ![]() ![]() Not like I can really judge it, but it seemed as though she nailed both the southern US accent of the main character AND all the Celtic folklore terms, so that was a neat combo I listened to the audio version of this and found the narrator really good. Journeying to Ireland in search of answers, Mac is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to master a power she had no idea she possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae. When MacKayla's sister was murdered, she left a single clue to her death, a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone.
