As a by product of both Indian and Western traditions the writers like R.K.Narayan and Kiran Desai have presented the distinctive literary form and has achieved maturity and unique identity. But during the colonial period the people were forced by the foreign people and the natives were kept meek and subjugated and the colonizing states adopted dishonest methods whereas the postcolonial writers signify difference in their representations of place, in nomenclature, and through the deployment of themes. Fiction, being the most distinctive and effective form of literary expression today, has undeniably obtained a vital and significant position in Indo-English Literature. Indian literature in English holds a prominent place among English and other literatures of the world. The categories are subjective and flexible-indeed, it’s cause for celebration when the last category no longer applies! (I’m always happy when a book finds a translator). I’ve organized my collecting around small press, experimental, and untranslated Latin American literature. Please introduce us to your book collection. Still a student! I’ll be a “PhD candidate” by the summer. Currently I’m a third-year PhD student in Cultural Anthropology at Duke University, pursuing a concentration in Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies. I earned a master’s degree in Latin American Studies from Tulane University. My undergraduate degree is in Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies. Three years ago, I returned to Durham for doctoral studies. I attended Grinnell College in Iowa, and then lived for a few years each in Seattle and New Orleans. I spent my first four years in Chapel Hill, where my mom was a finishing her PhD, before my family moved to Lewisburg, a small town in central Pennsylvania. Our Bright Young Collectors series continues today with Joe Hiller of North Carolina, one of the winners of the 2021 National Collegiate Book Collecting Contest. Shrugging off Jean’s observations that he “yawns all the time” and “reeks of alcohol,” Bérenger blames his apathy on the unrelenting tedium of his days. Jean, who is fastidiously dressed in a suit and tie, chides Bérenger for his slovenly appearance and all-around air of negligence. It’s midday, and as the sound of Sunday church bells ceases, two men meet in front of a café and sit at an outdoor table. Act I of this three-act play takes place in the town square. His own transformation from a man who finds his life meaningless to one who refuses thoughtless conformity brings into focus the themes of personal responsibility, individuality, and morality. While everyone around him morphs into beasts and joins the herd, Bérenger remains apart, impervious to the epidemic. Hoarseness in the voice becomes inarticulate trumpeting the bump becomes a horn the transformation is complete. Then the skin takes on shades of green and grows tougher. It begins with a small bump on the forehead. This is the absurd crisis unfolding in Eugene Ionesco’s 1959 play, Rhinoceros. In a small French village, people are turning into rhinoceroses. Joan Crawford’s iconic performance as Mildred, a single mother hell-bent on freeing her children from the stigma of economic hardship, solidified Crawford’s career comeback and gave the actor her only Oscar. ”Melodrama casts noirish shadows in this portrait of maternal sacrifice from Hollywood master Michael Curtiz. I really loved this summary taken from the press jacket and decided to include it as the start of my review: Joan Crawford’s iconic performance as Mildred, a single mother hell-bent on freeing her children from the stigma of economic hardship but, at what cost?

Which is to say, more oddball than an ordinary lesson with a vampire in a floating dirigible espionage school. It was their vampire teacher’s custom of late to administer decidedly oddball lessons. They were, theoretically, in class with some ten fellow students and Professor Braithwope. With which, the four girls all returned to staring over the railing of the squeak deck. “I suppose it’s possible,” said Dimity, mollified. Do you think that’s what Professor Braithwope was, you know, professionally, before he became a vampire? A tightrope walker in a carnival?” “As if thinking out loud weren’t decidedly indelicate.” Dimity was not to be swayed out of disapproval when she felt it might exercise her creativity. “I wasn’t sneezing, nor being indelicate, thank you all very much.

It had been four years full of setbacks and delays since the director’s triumph, “ Dr. Kubrick, a doctor’s son from the Bronx who got his start as a photographer for Look, was turning forty that year, and his rise in Hollywood had left him hungry to make extravagant films on his own terms. The after-party at the Plaza was “a room full of drinks and men and tension,” according to Kubrick’s wife, Christiane. Clarke, Kubrick’s collaborator, was in tears at intermission. Kubrick nervously shuttled between his seat in the front row and the projection booth, where he tweaked the sound and the focus. A sixth of the New York première’s audience walked right out, including several executives from M-G-M. In the annals of audience restlessness, these evenings rival the opening night of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring,” in 1913, when Parisians in osprey and tails reportedly brandished their canes and pelted the dancers with objects.
