Using Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas as a template, Filip Noterdaeme's The Autobiography of Daniel J. Isengart tells the story of two eccentric expats who find love in New York City and carve out a delirious, dadaesque life on the margins of the contemporary art world.
Die Autobiografie von Daniel J. Isengart
Mit 23 Jahren schmeisst Daniel Isengart sein Studium an der Münchner Kunstakademie und zieht nach New York. Dort nimmt er Tanzunterricht, arbeitet im Partyservice und tritt als Varietésänger auf. Nach einem seiner Auftritte begegnet er dem belgischen Konzeptkünstler Filip Noterdaeme. Gewappnet mit der Unbeirrbarkeit radikaler Individualisten rüsten sich die beiden, gemeinsam dem täglichen Überlebenskampf in der Megastadt ihre künstlerischen Projekte entgegenzusetzen. Filips Hauptwerk ist das "Homeless Museum of Art", das die kommerziellen Interessen der New Yorker Kunstmuseen auf die Schippe nimmt. Daniel macht sich als Chansonnier einen Namen und etabliert sich nebenbei als Privatko...

A cabaret performer and sought-after private chef in New York City, he knows how to deliver one delectable meal after another with the ease of a seasoned entertainer.

Queering the Kitchen
A manifesto for reclaiming the lost history and influence of gay men in the culinary arts. Gay identity has long been openly linked to the decorative and performing arts--fashion, interior design, dance, opera, and theater. Isengart aims to add the kitchen to the list. Even though gay men widely populate America's food industries, their role and impact remain firmly in the closet. Queering The Kitchen is a grand coming-out. Gay men's history of culinary sophistication dates back to a time when socializing was safer behind closed doors--at home, the only place where they could be themselves and let their hair down, or wear that wig. Isengart explores these hidden histories and customs, while ...

Museum Legs
Why do people get bored and tired in art museums and why does that matter? Author Whitaker writes in this humorous and incisive collection of essays, museums matter for reasons that have less to do with art as we know it and more to do with business, politics, and the age-old question of how to live--back cover.
The Gourmands' Way
A biography of six writers on food and wine whose lives and careers intersected in mid-twentieth-century France During les trente glorieuses—a thirty-year boom period in France between the end of World War II and the 1974 oil crisis—Paris was not only the world’s most delicious, stylish, and exciting tourist destination; it was also the world capital of gastronomic genius and innovation. The Gourmands’ Way explores the lives and writings of six Americans who chronicled the food and wine of “the glorious thirty,” paying particular attention to their individual struggles as writers, to their life circumstances, and, ultimately, to their particular genius at sharing awareness of Fre...
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was written in 1933 by Gertrude Stein in the guise of an autobiography authored by Alice B. Toklas, who was her lover. It is a fascinating insight into the art scene in Paris as the couple were friends with Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. They begin the war years in England but return to France, volunteering for the American Fund for the French Wounded, driving around France, helping the wounded and homeless. After the war Gertrude has an argument with T. S. Eliot after he finds one of her writings inappropriate. They become friends with Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway. It was written to make money and was indeed a commercial success. However, it attracted criticism, especially from those who appeared in the book and didn't like the way they were depicted.
Dear Professor
Dear Professor: A Chronicle of Absences is a collection of over two hundred often involuntarily comical emails in which students excuse themselves for missing class. The result is a satirical yet unexpectedly sympathetic collective portrait of modern-day academia where both students and teachers feel pressured to comply with the impositions of hyper-connectivity.
