Saying in the book that she doesn’t think she fully understands how damaging prison was even now, she acknowledges that her privileges - being a white woman, an Ivy League student with a fairly minor sentence - affected her overall incarceration experience. ![]() Sentenced to two years incarceration, Blakinger documented everyday experiences at the aforementioned correctional facilities while getting sober and learning how broken the system was from witnessing it firsthand, joking all the while with cellmates about calling it “IV League” - though that didn’t make the cut.

In these essays, Horn reflects on subjects as far-flung as the international veneration of Anne Frank, the mythology that Jewish family names were changed at Ellis Island, the blockbuster traveling exhibition Auschwitz, the marketing of the Jewish history of Harbin, China, and the little-known life of the "righteous Gentile" Varian Fry. Often asked by major publications to write on subjects related to Jewish culture-and increasingly in response to a recent wave of deadly antisemitic attacks-Horn was troubled to realize what all of these assignments had in common: she was being asked to write about dead Jews, never about living ones. Renowned and beloved as a prizewinning novelist, Dara Horn has also been publishing penetrating essays since she was a teenager. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a youngster, he beheld his first stage magic performance, launching a lifelong fascination that would find a place in many of his books.

I’ve read Volume I and II of ‘Will and Representation’, but it’s not really necessary to have read them in order to understand this book. This book does that almost as well as Schopenhauer did, maybe even better since the writer puts the philosophy under consideration into the context of when Schopenhauer was writing and through the lens of 1980s including a presumption of the validity of Freudian psychoanalysis. ![]() Schopenhauer is well worth understanding. The author will quote Schopenhauer to the effect that life is vile and it would have been better to have never been born, but since we are already here suicide is not the only philosophical question that haunts us since he will argue our quest for insight is enough to keep us occupied until the inevitable return to our nothingness, and the author will show that Nietzsche will tweak that by putting a slightly more optimistic spin on it by saying our instinctual nature will allow for an ecstatic existence sense of being as we keep becoming and should behave as if we have an eternal recurrence. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or, he adds, for people to "just get another chance to laugh at me."

But all that changed when he began working on-air in 2014 as the co-anchor of the show's "Weekend Update." "When you're not on camera or on television, you don't really consider what you look like," he says. When he joined SNL as a writer in 2005, he worked off-camera - and didn't have to think about his looks. Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost knows there's something about his clean-cut image that rubs some people the wrong way. "It's a world that I love so much," he says of the show. Colin Jost, here in 2018, first joined Saturday Night Live as a writer 15 years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this essay I attempt to take account of the interpretive implications of seriality for understanding Southworth's novel, exploring some of the ways in which it was ideologically embedded in the Ledger and describing the active and canny role it played in that periodical's strident apoliticism. Thus, Southworth's novel offers a good test case for the claim that the material form of publication (in this case, periodical serialization) is a substantively important aspect of the work's meaning: the readers who responded to it so enthusiastically had all read it under the conditions of seriality. This bare fact about the material form in which it circulated and gained its large and admiring audience has consequences for interpreting the novel that have gone entirely unexamined by scholars. Southworth's originally massively popular novel, The Hidden Hand (1859), was not published as a book until it had undergone serialization three separate times, over the course of a quarter century, in a weekly story-paper called the New York Ledger. ![]() ![]() ![]() (who thinks referring to herself in the third person is really silly, by the way) traveled the world, and collected friends from all across the globe. ![]() She lives in Northern California with her husband, young son and chubby cat.īefore she’d settled down, L.J.
