Born Russell Charles Means into the Oglala Sioux on the Pine Ridge reservation, South Dakota, his Oglala name was Oyate Wacinyapin, "works for the people". He almost literally drifted into Native American activism. ![]() But Means had always been a keen actor in the sort of political theatre which was a prominent, if only occasionally successful, part of 1960s protest. Years later he would pursue an acting career, most notably as Chingachgook in Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans (1992). ![]() With long braids and a sculpted face, Means looked the part. Viewed as the most notorious Indian since Sitting Bull, he assumed a position of de facto leadership that often put him at odds with his fellow activists, as well as with the authorities. As the spokesman for AIM brought to Washington to negotiate, Russell Means, who has died aged 72 after suffering from throat cancer, became the leading face of Native Americans. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hugely popular in Korea, Haemin Sunim is a Zen meditation teacher whose teachings transcend religions and borders and resonate with people of all ages. ![]() Haemin Sunim's simple messages - which he first wrote when he responded to requests for advice on social media - speak directly to the anxieties that have become part of modern life and remind us of the strength and joy that come from slowing down.

The book is enlivened by all the cast of quirky characters. Through his neophyte eyes we learn about the social microcosm of the restaurant: the friction between the morning and the night crews, the strange nature of pastry chefs (they always seem to be the odd ducks in the kitchen hierarchy) and the critical role of the Latin American workers in the kitchen. First as an assistant and then making a slow circuit through all the various stations: grill, sauté, fish and pasta. He starts as a prep chef in the morning and eventually works his way up the line at night. ![]() Thus begins the first half of the book in which Buford experiences firsthand all the chaos, sweat and hard work that goes into making a successful restaurant kitchen tick. ![]() ![]() ![]() And this is a section of The Waste Land that was basically spoken by Eliot's maid, named Ellen Kellend." By reading this passage from the poem, DuPlessis foregrounds the material conditions under which literature is created (or not created) and disseminated (or not disseminated). And sometimes they get absorbed into the writers. There are people who aren't writing or can't write or don't write. ![]() ![]() ![]() DuPlessis continues: "I also wanted to note that there are always people missing whenever there are writers. Because of the price the Eliot estate charges." Instead of reprinting The Waste Land, Poems for the Millenium: Volume One includes a brief commentary contextualizing the poem's relationship to a range of modernist literary movements. DuPlessis explains: " The Waste Land isn't in this anthology. Eliot's The Waste Land during a celebration of the Poems for the Millenium anthologies. In a 1998 recording at the Kelly Writers House, Rachel Blau DuPless reads an excerpt from T.S. The experience of listening to the following recordings was often one of hearing some aspect of the text come loose through the reader's voice instead of hearing the text being inscribed into a fixed state. I was interested in recordings that did more than simply pay homage or celebrate an influence. My final commentary focuses on writers reading the work of other writers. ![]() ![]() So the fact that I presumably have a Y chromosome (I’ve never undergone a chromosome testing panel, so we can’t know for sure) means I can never escape that biological fact, and according to gender essentialist logic, will always be “a man” in some sense. ![]() ![]() So: As America’s foremost trans television critic, I’ve encountered a lot of people wanting to know if, uh, Y: The Last Man would be horribly transphobic and gender essentialist.Ī quick definition: “Gender essentialism” is when we insist that the gender someone is assigned at birth on some level determines their destiny. We just sort of exist off to the side somewhere. Nonbinary people are not mentioned at all, and the comic doesn’t include any trans people as major characters. Trans men are briefly mentioned as existing in said comic, and trans women are assumed to have all died, because we bore Y chromosomes that led to our (fictional) deaths. ![]() But the main reason the show has raised so many questions is that the source comic’s premise, as it stood, left little room for trans people. ![]() ![]() Writing, the male confession," is moot-outsiders are foreverĭemanding that "rock writing" (as the world calls rock criticism)īe something else, and at worst Hornby provides an excuse for them ![]() That it's "taken to be the expression of a new sort of rock In the wake of 1992's Fever Pitch, by all accounts the finestīook ever written about what the world calls football, Hornby is aīig enough deal in England to have antagonists, and Simon Frith hasĪlready leveled two charges at his novel in these pages. ![]() True enough, I decided-but not as true as it And so, even as I was carriedĪlong on the novel's candor and verisimilitude, I kept asking how Robinson and the Miracles' Greatest Hits, but I doubt he's so vainĪs to believe it's that good.
