Jigsaw
“On my own, living backstage in a Washington, DC, theater at 16, marriage at 17, fatherhood at 19, divorce at 24, twenty years in the burbs in a gay relationship with 3 kids and a live-in mother-law who stayed for 28 years, and a decade-long mid-life love aff air that is best paraphrased by the title of an old torch song that my beloved Aunt Tillie loved to sing after one too many vodkas – “Six Beers with the Wrong Kind of Man” gives you a sense of my story. Oh, there was the time I stalked and met Judy Garland; shared a couple of brews with Paul Newman at Carter’s Inaugural Cast Party, where I pissed Bette Davis off in one sentence and when I narrowly escaped becoming the hood ornament on Lady Diana’s Jaguar – beyond that life was pretty much a mundane walk in the park.” Tim Ricker
The Boy Who Did Not Sign

Small Important Things
The unasked, unanswered (and quite possibly unconscious) question on most males minds is How do I become a man? or Where do I begin? Take Daniel Shaughnessy, for example. By conventional standards, the thirty-one-year-old was successful and had everything he needed to be happy. Except for happiness. Internally, he was emotionally unfulfilled and incapable of meaningful intimate relationships; suffering from a subtle but consistent melancholic ignorance as to why he felt melancholic in the first place; plagued by a persistent lament: Oh, God, why cant this all just cease? It was a silent humiliation, not always in the spotlight, but definitely lurking in the shadows. And when one chance encou...
Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text Processing
CICLing 2004 was the 5th Annual Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics; see www.CICLing.org. CICLing conferences are intended to provide a balanced view of the cutting-edge developments in both theoretical foundations of computational linguistics and the practice of natural language text processing with its numerous applications. A feature of CICLing conferences is their wide scope that covers nearly all areas of computational linguistics and all aspects of natural language processing applications. These conferences are a forum for dialogue between the specialists working in the two areas. This year we were honored by the presence of our invited speakers Mart...
Trainee
It's 1982. Rodney Pepper, a socially inept college drop-out, heads to New Orleans seeking to engulf himself in despair and abject misery in the belief this will lead him to Wisdom. Until that point, he derived his understanding of life from watching television and misreading psychoanalytic literary criticism.Barely off the bus, a man claiming to be his long-lost Uncle Gambi accosts Rodney and bestows on him an unexpected and unwanted pirate legacy. As he looks for work and moves between dilapidated downtown rooming houses, he is preyed upon by agents of the city's underworld and bears witness to ancient buccaneering atrocity. Mayhem and skullduggery, self-imposed or otherwise, follow him every step of the way. Can he decipher a dead man's code and locate what lays hidden before he too is swallowed up by violence?
Global Healing
Read an interview with Karen Thornber. In Global Healing: Literature, Advocacy, Care, Karen Laura Thornber analyzes how narratives from diverse communities globally engage with a broad variety of diseases and other serious health conditions and advocate for empathic, compassionate, and respectful care that facilitates healing and enables wellbeing. The three parts of this book discuss writings from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania that implore societies to shatter the devastating social stigmas which prevent billions from accessing effective care; to increase the availability of quality person-focused healthcare; and to prioritize partnerships that facilitate healing and enable wellbeing for both patients and loved ones. Thornber’s Global Healing remaps the contours of comparative literature, world literature, the medical humanities, and the health humanities. Watch a video interview with Thornber by the Mahindra Humanities Center, part of their conversations on Covid-19. Read an interview with Thornber on Brill's Humanities Matter blog.
