'She was like a white rose before,' said a young Page to his neighbour, 'but she is like a red rose now ' and the whole Court was delighted.įor the next three days everybody went about saying, 'White rose, Red rose, Red rose, White rose ' and the King gave orders that the Page's salary was to be doubled. 'Your picture was beautiful,' he murmured, 'but you are more beautiful than your picture ' and the little Princess blushed. When he saw her he sank upon one knee, and kissed her hand. He had dreamy violet eyes, and his hair was like fine gold. 'She is like a white rose!' they cried, and they threw down flowers on her from the balconies.Īt the gate of the Castle the Prince was waiting to receive her. So pale was she that as she drove through the streets all the people wondered. Her long ermine cloak reached right down to her feet, on her head was a tiny cap of silver tissue, and she was as pale as the Snow Palace in which she had always lived. The sledge was shaped like a great golden swan, and between the swan's wings lay the little Princess herself.

Author interviews, book reviews and lively book commentary are found here. In Collins’s skillful hands, black women fall in and out of love, study French, canvas for black voter rights in the South, enjoy reading and being alone, and experience great joys and bitter losses. Collins manages to reveal the folly of this rhetoric while also rendering her characters as full human beings whose race is incidental to the rich lives they lead. The characters’ experiences of prejudice stand in stark contrast to the melting-pot rhetoric of the day, which insists on racial color blindness. The stories portray a wide cast of mostly black women (and men) doing their best to navigate the politics of race and dating during the 1960s. Many of the stories read like sketches or outlines for play or movie scripts and, as such, feature striking imagery and several alternating points of view. Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? is a posthumous collection of short stories by the groundbreaking filmmaker and screenwriter Kathleen Collins. ![]() ![]() ![]() Parto premettendo che non ci sono spoiler! □Īttendevo questo prequel dal 2013 quando Josie ne parlò al festivalletteratura di Mantova in occasione dell'uscita di Goddess, il terzo libro della serie Starcorssed.

Plot’s typical of Chekhov, with several bickering, upscale families ensconced on a lavish country estate. The cast, as well, is up to the task, with actors rotating nightly in the 16 roles. Director Frank Dwyer and actor Nicholas Saunders, who collaborated on the adaptation, breathe life into this Russian corpse with brisk, playful language and loose, colloquial English that, for once in Chekhov, doesn’t echo of a language primer. ![]() The result is a spectacular production of a so-so play with a terrific translation. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the most highly-anticipated graphic novels this year, Lucas Harari’s Swimming in Darkness uses the location of the real thermal baths in Vals, Switzerland, called Therme Vals and housed in a mysterious structure designed by the equally mysterious architect Peter Zumthor, to investigate these same ideas. The reason I bring this up is that these are the ingredients from which legends grow, and though the Bennington Triangle hasn’t ever exactly taken off in popular imagination, it’s been fascinating to be in its proximity and see it brought up now and again, each new iteration pushing it further and further into the realm of accepted paranormal reality, and more distant from the excitement of campfire legend-building.
