![]() ![]() Oh, kings, thought Kell as he fastened the buttons on the coat. Just because he adopted a more modest palette when he was abroad (wishing neither to offend the local royalty nor to draw attention) didn’t mean he had to sacrifice style. Well, a simple black jacket elegantly lined with silver thread and adorned with two gleaming columns of silver buttons. So when Kell passed through the palace wall and into the anteroom, he took a moment to steady himself-it took its toll, moving between worlds-and then shrugged out of his red, high-collared coat and turned it inside out from right to left so that it became a simple black jacket. There were ones that blended in and ones that stood out, and one that served no purpose but of which he was just particularly fond. Not all of them were fashionable, but they each served a purpose. ![]() The first thing he did whenever he stepped out of one London and into another was take off the coat and turn it inside out once or twice (or even three times) until he found the side he needed. It had neither one side, which would be conventional, nor two, which would be unexpected, but several, which was, of course, impossible. ![]()

![]() During the first part of the time I was working on the book, I was leading for WINGS, and then I moved over to Victor Emanuel Nature Tours. Were you leading field trips at that point? Were you being asked about certain birds? Did it spring from your experience?Ī combination of things went into that. ![]() The research was the fun part writing it was a little less so. And I did the first Field Guide to Advanced Birding partly because I was interested in that stuff, so I had the perfect excuse to run around researching things like jaegers and sparrows for several years. ![]() But beyond that, it became a matter of opinion. Everyone will agree on things like Empidonax flycatchers or some of the female flycatchers. Was there agreement on what the difficult species were? So developing expertise on difficult birds took a lot of time, or you had to dig through publications, or you had to know someone who was already an expert and ask them about it. ![]() If you belonged to a bunch of organizations - for example, the American Birding Association had started printing detailed articles on bird identification in their magazine, but aside from that and a few local publications, there weren’t even very many sources for articles. But if you had a challenging bird you were trying to figure out, like an accipiter or an Empidonax flycatcher or something, you had maybe a handful of illustrations in two or three field guides and then you were out of luck. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seniors Recreate Classic Album Covers from Lockdownīody of Glee Actress Naya Rivera Recovered in California Lake Trapt's New Album Only Sells 600 Copies in First Week, Band Says It's Fake News Nike Announces Grateful Dead-Inspired Sneakers 2Īlex Trebek Once Unknowingly Ate Five Hash Brownies and Woke Up at a Friend's House Three Days Later Ranking Stephen King’s Nightmares and Dreamscapes Pt.

Nate self-consciously analyzes his treatment of women, and the self-consciousness is itself maddening, yet alluring. Waldman goes deeply into the swirlingly complex contradictions of the sensitive literary man’s relationship with the women that surround him. In a delicately disdainful assessment of Keith Gessen’s celebrated novel, All the Sad Young Literary Men, Andrew O’Hagan wrote, “There must, after all, be a way of life in which literary men are not enslaved to the sad business of always having to do better than ‘the people they went to college with.’ ” It is admittedly a very narrow and weirdly provincial universe Waldman is so fiercely and effectively exposing a universe of aspiring writers, novelists, and contributors to highbrow magazines who live in certain neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Manhattan, and went to certain schools. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This remarkable and richly detailed adventure is worth savoring.

Reducing the cross sectional area reduces the mass of blade and hence reduces the centrifugal stresses. The other five are for reducing cross sectional area blades of varying curvature.

Along with boundary-busting female musicians of those years like PJ Harvey, the Breeders, Hole, Salt-N-Pepa and Björk, among others, Phair was, to quote Joni Mitchell, “a woman of heart and mind” and genitals, too nothing that was human was alien to Phair’s expression or her image. “Guyville” made Phair a star and an indie darling. In a recent interview with The Independent, Phair summed it up as, “It was like seeing the girl next door go nuclear.” The sound was lo-fi the lyrics were about desire, rejection, humiliation, rage, ambivalence and the rocky seas of sex the concept was meta. ![]() That record, originally a few tracks on cassette tapes that Phair recorded while living in her parents’ house in her 20s, was a song-by-song response to the Rolling Stones’ cocky, much revered, double-album paean to bad boys, “Exile on Main St.” The complicated truth of being smart, young, female and heterosexual was what “Guyville” dived deep to get at with unbound candor. “It’s hard to tell the truth about ourselves,” Liz Phair writes in the prologue to her memoir, “Horror Stories.” “We’re afraid,” she continues, “we will be defined by our worst decisions instead of our best.” This is a surprising statement from the woman who wrote and recorded the raw indie-rock classic “Exile in Guyville,” released in 1993. ![]() |
