☆ A Lincoln Trove Lands at the Library (Pie Safe Included)
  + stars: | 2024-01-24 | by ( Jennifer Schuessler | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The New York Public Library’s grand research library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street is home to Virginia Woolf’s walking stick, Charles Dickens’s desk chair and the original Winnie-the-Pooh. But one evening last week, a crowd in one of the library’s elegant public rooms was milling around a goofier treasure: an Abraham Lincoln-themed pie safe. The safe — a large cabinet made to store pies, inlaid with decorative punched-tin panels celebrating the president — was probably created for one of his campaigns. It was on view at a memorial for Jonathan Mann, a collector whose trove of rare letters, photographs, banners, ballots, ribbons, campaign songbooks and other sundry bits of Lincolniana is being acquired by the library.

☆ The Shame of Falling Down - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( Dani Shapiro | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
I felt for the bandage my husband had secured around my chin the night before. Disparate verses from one of my favorite poems, by Wislawa Szymborska, looped through my mind: It could have happened. The thing is, I wasn’t OK. Here’s what they don’t tell you about falls: You keep falling again and again. You are an astronaut, floating and flailing through space, while everyone surrounding you seems to be on terra firma.

☆ One Day, Yiyun Li Might Get Around to Reading Roald Dahl
  + stars: | 2023-09-07 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
I don’t have a proper night stand and I don’t usually read before bedtime. However, my metaphorical night stand includes “Moby-Dick,” “Don Quixote,” three of Virginia Woolf’s lesser-known novels (“The Voyage Out,” “Night and Day” and “The Years”) and the complete work of Beatrix Potter. (Books written to be consumed at one sitting or in a day don’t interest me.) Rather, they read word by word, sentence by sentence, and they ponder over an unfamiliar word choice, a fleeting gesture, the shadow of an image, and the ripple of a sentence seen in the following sentence. It’s a testament to the art of reading with not only five senses but also with memory and imagination.

In addition to the subject’s fascinating life — among much else, she was Virginia Woolf’s muse and longtime lover — I always enjoy books about that era. What’s the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently? I recently finished a book called “1215: The Year of Magna Carta,” by Danny Danziger and John Gillingham. Our political system and government. You’ll find more recent examples of the genre — especially those by David Baldacci and Daniel Silva — on my shelves, too.

☆ Opinion: How to respond to anti-LGBTQ hate this Pride month

I promise there are some simple and immensely helpful ways in which LGBTQ people and allies can take action in June and every month. Don Arnold/Getty ImagesIf you don’t know where to begin with lobbying, look to an LGBTQ or civil rights group doing the hard work on the ground. Commit to learning and teaching: Even members and strong allies of the LGBTQ community can benefit from fresh learning. After all, the LGBTQ community is anything but a monolith — there are so many diverse forms of representation and a landscape that is quickly evolving. It’s also not a bad time to support brands that are supportive of the LGBTQ community.

☆ ‘The Hours’ Review: A Woolf Pack of Divas at the Met
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Heidi Waleson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
New York‘The Hours,” by composer Kevin Puts and librettist Greg Pierce , which had its world-premiere staged production at the Metropolitan Opera last Tuesday, is clever in concept. Its sources—the 1998 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham and the 2002 all-star film by Stephen Daldry —supply juicy roles for three women playing characters experiencing traumas in three separate eras, related through Virginia Woolf’s novel “Mrs. Dalloway.” The structure of opera permits techniques of simultaneity and overlap that exist in no other medium. From a marketing standpoint, the creation of “The Hours” was driven by soprano Renée Fleming , once the Met’s most beloved diva, whose 2017 “Der Rosenkavalier” at the house supposedly marked her retirement from staged opera. On Tuesday, she returned in the role of Clarissa Vaughan, custom tailored for her voice.
☆ ‘Jacob’s Room’: A Young Man Etched in Absence
  + stars: | 2022-11-12 | by ( Micah Mattix | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
James Joyce ’s “Ulysses” was published in Paris, and T.S. Because of this, Virginia Woolf’s novel “Jacob’s Room,” which was also published in 1922, hasn’t always received the attention it deserves. That some of her later novels—“To the Lighthouse” (1927) and “The Waves” (1931)—are perhaps even more accomplished hasn’t helped. Yet, it was in “Jacob’s Room” that Woolf first experimented with the episodic narrative she would use in “To the Lighthouse.” The novel also contains some of Woolf’s most startling sentences. One character observes that “each word” fell from Jacob’s mouth “like a disc new cut.” That may not always be true of Jacob, but it is of Woolf’s novel, which is full of such coins.
