☆ Book Club: Discuss ‘James,’ by Percival Everett, With Us
  + stars: | 2024-05-10 | by ( Mj Franklin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Welcome to The Book Review Book Club. Every month, we select a book to discuss on our podcast and with our readers. In Everett’s latest book, “James,” Jim becomes, you guessed it, James. The broad strokes of Twain’s character are still there — James is still an enslaved man who runs away after he hears that his master is going to sell him. But in Everett’s hands, James is no longer a helpless companion.

When the ladies weren’t playing in the water, they played a game of Barbie trivia. A server dressed as Ken, served pink cocktails like dragon fruit margaritas and huckleberry Malibu rum sparklers, she said. Strawberry hummus was served, along with a Barbie cake with a doll hidden inside. “I have my vintage black-and-white Barbie swimsuit, a neon spandex swimsuit and a pink patent skirt with pink cowboy boots and a pink cowboy hat,” Ms. Lester said. “I decided I needed to do a few outfit changes, just like Barbie does.”

How boring is it to win and win and win? If I want to catch waves, I don’t think about you because you’re in my way, so you’re naturally competitive.
☆ Tom Stoppard Fears the Virus of Antisemitism Has Been Reactivated
  + stars: | 2022-11-28 | by ( David Marchese | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +19 min
I don’t think that it’s an equal participant in some kind of debate. I don’t think so. If you’re sitting there enjoying the structure, then I don’t think that’s entirely good news for the writer. I don’t know that I would actually pursue the subject as a playwright. You know, I’m told there is such a thing as the long view.
☆ ‘Louis Armstrong: Black & Blues’ Review: Satchmo’s Tangled Legacy
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Like Ernest Hemingway locating the birth of modern American literature in “ Huckleberry Finn ,” Miles Davis found the original incarnation of modern American music—jazz—in Louis Armstrong . “You can’t play anything on a horn that Louis hasn’t played,” said Davis. But like many of Armstrong’s practicing black acolytes, Davis was also embarrassed by the man’s persona. Too much smiling, too much “minstrelsy.” Dizzy Gillespie called him a “plantation character.” The image of Armstrong the musical revolutionary was long at war with the image of Armstrong the Uncle Tom. The trumpeter (and singer, lest anyone forget) died in 1971, and it’s hard to imagine a more defining of a generational divide than an awareness of Louis Armstrong, aka Satchmo, aka Pops.
