Paris Was a Woman
Originally published more than twenty years ago and winner of a Lambda Literary Award, Paris Was a Woman is a rare profile of the female literati in Paris at the turn of the century. Now with a new preface and illustrations, this "scrapbook" of their work—along with Andrea Weiss' lively commentary—highlights the political, social, and artistic lives of the renowned lesbian and bisexual Modernists, including Colette, Djuna Barnes, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Sylvia Beach, and many more. Painstakingly researched and profusely illustrated, it is an enlightening account of women who between wars found their selves and their voices in Paris. A wealth of photographs, paintings, drawings, and literary fragments combine with Weiss' revealing text to give an unparalleled insight into this extraordinary network of women for who Paris was neither mistress nor muse, but a different kind of woman.
The Children's Blue Bird (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)
Georgette Leblanc, Madame Maurice Maeterlinck (1875-1941) was a French soprano and author. She was the sister of Maurice Leblanc. She first debuted at the Opera- Comique in Paris, in 1893 in LaAttaque du Moulin. She was associated for a time with Greco-Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff. She was the friend and possibly the lover of fellow Gurdjieff student, Margaret Anderson. She was also a friend of Jean Cocteau. Originally slated to perform as Melisande in Maurice Maeterlinck and Claude Debussyas Symbolist opera Pelleas et Melisande, she was replaced by Mary Garden. This angered Maeterlinck, who was also her lover. Leblanc authored several works, including two volumes of autobiography, as well as childrenas books and travelogues. Her works include: The Choice of Life (1904) and The Childrenas Blue Bird (1913).
Sun Also Rises
Published in 1926 to explosive acclaim, The Sun Also Rises stands as perhaps the most impressive first novel ever written by an American writer. A roman à clef about a group of American and English expatriates on an excursion from Paris's Left Bank to Pamplona for the July fiesta and its climactic bull fight, a journey from the center of a civilization spiritually bankrupted by the First World War to a vital, God-haunted world in which faith and honor have yet to lose their currency, the novel captured for the generation that would come to be called “Lost” the spirit of its age, and marked Ernest Hemingway as the preeminent writer of his time.
Ariane & Bluebeard
— Matthew Brown developed this project through his founding of TableTopOpera, a group of scholars and performers committed to performing multimedia projects promoting classical music to general audiences. TableTop's production, a reductionist fantasy based on Ariane et Barbe-bleue, played an adaptation of Paul Dukas's original score while panels of P. Craig Russell's popular graphic novel Ariane and Bluebeard, Op. 26 streaked across the auditorium screen. Brown wrote the score and the show was called "a miracle of collaborative creation" thanks to "all editing decisions made in regard not only to Brown's profound knowledge of the epoch and Russell's passion for the opera but of the demandi...
