The Egyptian Revolution of 1919 had a strong effect on Mahfouz, although he was at the time only seven years old. He stated that "You would never have thought that an artist would emerge from that family." In an interview, he elaborated on the stern religious climate at home during his childhood. The Mahfouz family were devout Muslims and Mahfouz had a strict Islamic upbringing. Mahfouz’s mother, Fatimah, was the daughter of Mustafa Qasheesha, an Al-Azhar sheikh, and although illiterate herself, took the boy Mahfouz on numerous excursions to cultural locations such as the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids. His father, Abdel-Aziz Ibrahim, whom Mahfouz described as having been "old-fashioned", was a civil servant, and Mahfouz eventually followed in his footsteps in 1934. (Experientially, he grew up an "only child.") The family lived in two popular districts of Cairo: first, in the Bayt al-Qadi neighborhood in the Gamaleya quarter in the old city, from where they moved in 1924 to Abbaseya, then a new Cairo suburb north of the old city, locations that would provide the backdrop for many of Mahfouz's later writings. He was the seventh and the youngest child, with four brothers and two sisters, all of them much older than him. Mahfouz was born into a lower middle-class Muslim family in the medieval Fatimid quarter of Cairo in 1911. Goodnight Moon, and indeed most of Brown's exceptional and quirky bibliography, are that perfect marriage of mesmerizing for children and tantalizing for adults. One became so battered that it fell apart at the old lady whispering hush - split into two parts, invocation ("In the great green room") and benediction ("Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere"). In my own nursery no less than four copies have passed through. Of the more than 100 published and unpublished books written by the intrepid and prolific Margaret Wise Brown, there is probably none more well-worn than Goodnight Moon. Weekend Edition books editor Barrie Hardymon talks with Lulu Garcia-Navarro about the thread of adventure that runs through Brown's life and work. And, it's been 75 years since The Runaway Bunny first left home. A new biography by Amy Gary, called The Great Green Room, has just been released, along with a previously unpublished picture book called North, South, East, West. Children's book doyenne Margaret Wise Brown is having a big week.

They condemned the demonstrations as being "led in part by outsiders" and praised "the community as a whole - local news media and law enforcement officials in particular - for the calm manner in which these demonstrations have been handled." King responds to eight white Alabama clergymen who penned a public statement appealing for "law and order" in the face of demonstrations by the Black community led by King and other local leaders. It stands out to me as both a movement leader’s brilliant response to criticism from those who should be supporting his work and a lesson on what lies at the heart of a true democracy: justice for all. icon-linked Created with Sketch.Įach Martin Luther King Jr. California is one of 19 states that allow recalls. history (the first was North Dakota's 1921 recall of Lynn Frazier).

The true innovation is instant, 24/7 accessibility - just reach into your pocket - and the advantage is greater time to dig into a story: The Daily offers just one in-depth story per episode in a world of soundbites and tweets.īarbaro and Jackson also discussed the importance of journalistic transparency, and the podcast’s greater facility at “letting people into our process” and “acknowledging what don’t know.” Along the way, during a discussion of the importance of challenging the audience’s assumptions, Barbaro confessed what Daily story left him feeling “emotional … naked and exposed. It is and it isn’t, says Barbaro it’s really simply a twist on the venerable mass medium of radio. That approach, built on the reporting coming out of the New York Times newsroom, attracted an audience in the millions, making The Daily the most-downloaded new podcast on Apple Podcasts for 2017.įor his appearance at the Crosscut Ideas Festival, Barbaro spoke with Crosscut Now host Paris Jackson about the value of the podcast format as a new way to disseminate and receive news.

Eerily accurate: Circumstances of my cousin's death Who but an Austen addict like herself could concoct such a fantasy?Not only is Courtney stuck in another woman's life, she is forced to pretend she actually is that woman and despite knowing nothing about her, she manages to fool even the most astute observer. In this Jane Austen–inspired comedy, love story, and exploration of identity and destiny, a modern LA girl wakes up as an Englishwoman in Austen's time.After nursing a broken engagement with Jane Austen novels and Absolut, Courtney Stone wakes up and finds herself not in her Los Angeles bedroom or even in her own body, but inside the bedchamber of a woman in Regency England. Hearn had long made a journalistic career of exploring the cultural geography of wherever he happened to be posted, and the final chapter of his life in Japan coincided with an emergence of Western interest in the remote nation’s aesthetics. The ghost stories (and entomological essays) of ‘Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things’ represented part of Hearn’s dispatches from Meiji-era Japan, where the Greek-born, UK-raised, America-based writer settled in 1890, marrying a local woman, fathering four children, and becoming a naturalised citizen (and Buddhist) before his death in 1904. This credit sequence (intercut with cast and crew names typewritten on quality paper, as though a book) serves multiple functions: it marks director Masaki Kobayashi’s transition from the monochrome of his previous work to a striking use of Eastmancolor’s full palette its admixture of different, clashing colours foreshadows the film’s merger of the material and spirit worlds and, most of all, it points to the film’s literary origins, being adapted by screenwriter Yoko Mizuki from a collection of short stories by Lafcadio Hearn. Kwaidan opens with ink: first black ink swirling in clear liquid (on a white background), and then vortices of different colours, eddying and mixing into rich chromatic layers. |
