nothing is said that is actually thought provoking in a meaningful way you have to already have a lot of leftist assumptions to go in and there’s so much circular thought it actually drove me and my partner w bit crazy trying to dissect some of the things said

The Weekend". British Film Institute. 1976. Archived from the original on 25 March 2014 . Retrieved 25 March 2014. The extraordinary story of how a singular group of women in a pivotal time and place - Paris, Between the Wars - fostered the birth of the Modernist movement.A Sunday Times Book of the Year Winner of the Polari Prize'A book about love, identity, acceptance and the freedom to write, paint, compose and wear corduroy breeches with gaiters. Wie meer wil lezen over dit onderwerp, navigeer ik met plezier naar de memoires van Sylvia Beach en haar brieven, het al genoemde boek van Fitch, en bijvoorbeeld ook “A Moveable Feast” van Hemingway en “The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas” van Gertrude Stein - zowaar een grappig en zeer leesbaar Stein boek, allicht het enige. Leuke bezigheid: zien hoe Hemingway en Stein - ooit de beste maatjes, tot ze elkaar niet meer konden luchten - elkaar de duvel aandoen in hun memoires. Weird things don’t get challenged like on one ep a guest says she doesn’t like Florence and t he machine bc of it’s pre raphaelite aesthetics which she doesn’t like due to its conservative connotations I find this a little bit insane and thought Jessa would question it but she seems to want to be friendly and agreeable way more than have an interesting discussion there is a real sense of sitting in on two snobby leftists who think they’re not snobby leftists bc they call out other leftists for being snobby leftists Found myself waiting to hear an actual point being said but things are either alluded to or taken as a matter of fact or if a point is made it’s often rephrased a couple more times to idk fill up time I guess Although I enjoyed reading about Sylvia Beach (founder of Shakespeare and Company) and Paris in the 1920, I disliked the way the author kept refering to Bryher as "she" even though they clearly stated that they don't identify as a woman, but rather as "a boy trapped in a girls body"...

An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021.Over Bryher en Nathalie Barney wist ik nog niet zoveel, dus dat was interessanter, al lijkt de verdienste van beiden vooral te zijn geweest dat ze fabelachtig rijk waren en as such heel wat kunstenaars en projecten hebben ondersteund of mogelijk gemaakt. Zonder Beach geen Joyce, maar zonder Bryher ook geen Beach, enz. Van Barney onthoud ik vooral dat ze lak had aan alles en iedereen, en dat half (vrouwelijk) Parijs tussen haar lakens heeft gelegen (iets wat Virginia Woolf heel erg verwonderde, wat ik dan weer grappig vond). There had been nothing like it since Sappho and the island of Lesbos,” Diana Souhami writes in the introduction to her vastly entertaining and often moving group biography, No Modernism Without Lesbians, about four women in Paris in the first half of the 20th century. These four women were utterly fantastic, so interesting and Diana captured this beautifully with her writing. I had the opportunity to speak to Diana and loved just how much she cares about all of her lesbians. Souhami: How long was the night or how short were the … ? Nonetheless, she does turn these expectations on their head. She had her last love affair when she was 80. She met this woman on a park bench in Nice. … Well, I’ve just turned 80, so maybe I’ll try sitting on park benches. [ Laughs.] … But she did confound all these preconceptions of how women should behave, which is always refreshing, isn’t it?
