This book examines the nature and purpose of the metaphorical connection in Joyce's work between the feminine and a radically poetic language that increasingly exhibits an "excess" of the signifier in his later work. Sheffield argues that Joyce tropes the "language of excess" as feminine because of his ambivalence toward it and the dire challenge it offers to the unified self. She contends that in identifying the language of excess as feminine, Joyce is not forging an ecriture feminine, but is exploiting a concept of the feminine as irrational, discursive, and flowing to describe a new and other writing practice.

Recorded in 2003 at New York s Metropolitan Opera, this sumptuous production of Ariadne auf Naxos presents divas Deborah Voigt and Natalie Dessay in the contrasting roles which embody the opera s themes: the deserted princess Ariadne, a one-man woman who believes in loyalty unto death, and the flirtatious comedienne Zerbinetta, who takes a more pragmatic attitude to love and to life. The noble, soaring lines of Ariadne gave Voigt a major breakthrough in 1991, when she sang the role in Boston, and it subsequently became her signature role. Zerbinetta exemplifies the dizzy coloratura characters which first made Dessay s reputation. About the performance on this DVD, 2003 ... Ariadne auf Naxos returned to the Met in Elijah Moshinsky's fanciful 1993 production with Deborah Voigt as the prima donna who also portrays Ariadne in the work's opera-within-the-opera, Susanne Mentzer as the young male composer, and Natalie Dessay as Zerbinetta, the vivacious star of a commedia dell'arte troupe. Ms. Mentzer conveyed the harried despondency of the intensely self-serious young composer ... with fervour and vibrancy ... She also endearingly conveyed this fledgling creator's epiphany when Zerbine... [Read More]

Discover the signature sartorial and literary style of fifty men and women of letters, including Maya Angelou; Truman Capote; Colette; Bret Easton Ellis; Allen Ginsberg; Patti Smith; Karl Ove Knausgaard; and David Foster Wallace; in this unique compendium of profiles—packed with eighty black-and-white photographs, excerpts, quotes, and fast facts—that illuminates their impact on modern fashion.Whether it’s Zadie Smith’s exotic turban, James Joyce’s wire-framed glasses, or Samuel Beckett’s Wallabees, a writer’s attire often reflects the creative and spiritual essence of his or her work. As a non-linear sensibility has come to dominate modern style, curious trendsetters have increasingly found a stimulating muse in writers—many, like Joan Didion, whose personal aesthetic is distinctly "out of fashion." For decades, Didion has used her work, both her journalism and experimental fiction, as a mirror to reflect her innermost emotions and ideas—an originality that has inspired Millennials, resonated with a new generation of fashion designers and cultural tastemakers, and made Didion, in her eighties, the face of Celine in 2015.

Mame (DVD)Lucille Ball stars in this film of the blockbuster Broadway musical that tells the story of the flamboyant, unconventional and, above all, glamorous Mame. In 1928, nine-year-old Patrick Dennis (Kirby Furlong) comes to live with his Auntie Mame (Ball), who has a generous heart, believes life should be a party and collects fascinating friends. But the stock market crash of 1929 ends a decade-long fete and forces Mame into disastrous forays as an actress and a working woman, before doing what she knows best: marrying well. Once again wealthy, Mame returns to her self-appointed task of liberating friends and family from their bourgeois sensibility.]]>
