But after her standout presentation at the Ugandan pavilion, Kerunen received representation with three leading galleries: Pace Gallery, Blum & Poe, and Galerie Kandlhofer.įollowing this announcement, Kerunen’s work made a splash in Pace’s booth at Frieze London, and with Blum & Poe at Art Basel in Miami Beach. Kerunen’s sculptural installations challenge Euro-American art hierarchies that too often overlook craft-based practices in favor of painting. Addressing the intergenerational labor of Ugandan women, her work features biomorphic textures constructed with banana fibers through hand stitching, knotting, and weaving techniques passed onto her from her mother. Exhibited alongside the work of artist Collin Sekajugo, her textile sculptures evoke craft-based practices local to Kampala, like bikapu fiber bags. Most notably, Kerunen’s impressive installations were seen by thousands at the 59th Venice Biennale as part of Uganda’s first-ever national pavilion presentation. Born in Kampala, Uganda, where she is currently based, Kerunen made her international debut earlier this year. The multidisciplinary artist works across curation, activism, poetry, performance, sculpture, and weaving to deliver powerful narratives on farm labor and local craft production in Uganda. Just as Henry Huggins is complaining that nothing exciting ever happens, a friendly dog sits down beside him and looks pleadingly at his ice-cream cone.

The series opens with the arrival of Mary Ann Singleton, a naive young woman from Cleveland, Ohio, who is visiting San Francisco on vacation when she impulsively decides to stay. Ĭharacters from the Tales of the City series have appeared in supporting roles in Maupin's later novels Maybe the Moon and The Night Listener. Tales of the City has been compared to similar serial novels that ran in other city newspapers, such as The Serial (1976 Marin County), Tangled Lives (Boston), Bagtime (Chicago), and Federal Triangle (Washington, D.C.). The remaining titles were never serialized, but were instead originally written as novels. The stories from Tales were originally serialized prior to their novelization, with the first four titles appearing as regular installments in the San Francisco Chronicle, while the fifth appeared in the San Francisco Examiner. Tales of the City is a series of nine novels written by American author Armistead Maupin from 1978 to 2014, depicting the life of a group of friends in San Francisco, many of whom are LGBT. United States first edition cover of the first book in the Tales of the City series It’s easy to complain that fiction from a hundred years ago is too difficult to read because of changes in style or too difficult to comprehend because of cultural shifts, but Eliot’s command of imagery and characterization transcends all such barriers. (A friend suggested I should use the word “goddess”, but if we don’t call women actors “actresses” or “murderesses” any more, I’m going to phase “goddess” out as well.)Įliot’s ability to transport me to her contemporary Europe is nothing short of wizardry. Let me make this clear: George Eliot is a god. Eliot does not disappoint, and Daniel Deronda captivated me to the point that I began scribbling some notes in the margins of my lovely used copy. I wanted a meaty, socially-conscious novel with a diverse cast of well-realized characters. It’s fitting that when I was rummaging around my to-read box, I found Daniel Deronda, Eliot’s last novel. Last year around this time, I read Adam Bede, George Eliot’s first novel. Written with an exciting combination of narrative flair and historical authority, this interpretation of the tragic life of Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII, breaks new ground in our understanding of the very young woman who became queen at a time of unprecedented social and political tension and whose terrible errors in judgment quickly led her to the executioner's block. On the morning of July 28, 1540, as King Henry's VIII's former confidante Thomas Cromwell was being led to his execution, a teenager named.

Have any of you connected Veronica's Veil to Lestat's unusual assault on Dora after his freedom from Memnoch? I am speaking of the folklore of the veil. Whom does he believe in? Who does he serve? What are the element of religious belief? Lestat finds himself caught in a whirlpool of the ultimate choiceįrom Anne: "As of August, 2000, I can tell you sincerely that Memnoch the Devilis my favorite of the Vampire Chronicles. Lestat faces a choice between the Devil or God. Memnoch presents Lestat with unimagined opportunities: to witness creation, to visit purgatory, to be treated like a prophet. While torn betwen his vampire world and his passion for Dora, Lestat is sucked in by Memnoch, who claims to be the Devil himself. At the same time, he is increasingly aware that the Devil knows who he is and wants something from him. Dora has moved Lestat like no other mortal ever has, and he cannot get her out of his visions. In the fifth Vampire Chronicle, Lestat is searching for Dora, the beautiful and charismatic mortal daughter of a drug lord. |
