No Modernism Without Lesbians

Product Information

Dianna Souhami has worked for decades as a chronicler of sexual subcultures in early 20th century Europe, and finally, she is allowed to deliver her thesis: without this network of lesbians, the parties they through and the lovers they supported, modernism would not have been possible. She speaks with Jessa about our limited ideas of creativity and genius, why rewriting history is still important, and the lifelong project of lineage. Pretty interesting but somewhat overstayed its welcome. Maybe that's because the last quarter is about Gertrude Stein, who I can't stand. Ik heb dit boek met plezier gelezen, maar vind het een vreemd, bijwijlen wat slordig werk. Het valt uiteen in vier niet-echt-aan-elkaar-hangende en vooral ruwe portretten van Sylvia Beach, ‘Bryher’, Nathalie Barney en Gertrude Stein, en meer specifiek: de impact van deze monumentale dames op het modernisme in het begin van de vorige eeuw - met Parijs als middelpunt. Between Love Island, Love is Blind, FBoy Island, Sexy Beasts, Too Hot to Handle etc, we sure do love watching hot straight people be tortured for the possibility of love. Cameron and Jessa discuss why these properties are still considered "guilty pleasures" despite the harm they are doing and why they all seem to be designed by incels.

Neuware -The 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. 464 pp. Englisch. They were all women who loved women. They rejected the patriarchy and made lives of their own – forming a community around them in Paris.My gratitude to the excellent people at Head of Zeus for sending this absolutely wonderful book across to me in exchange for an honest review. Needless to say, I loved it immensely. I saw her critique of chapo and red scare as unlistenable and I have to say having listened to red scare that this one is much more unlistenable Voor wie er al één en ander vanaf weet - waaronder ikzelf - valt er niet zo héél veel nieuws te rapen, want Souhami lijkt vooral de al goed gedocumenteerde levensverhalen wat compacter te brengen. Het verhaal van Sylvia Beach, het iconische “Shakespeare & Co” en de hele hetze met James Joyce is al vaker, en met meer verve, verteld onder meer door Beach zelf, maar ook door bijvoorbeeld Noël Riley Fitch in “Sylvia Beach & The Lost Generation” - aanraders both.

Cunningham, John (27 April 2002). "The real Robinson Crusoe". The Guardian . Retrieved 25 March 2014. Natalie Barney’s chapter is the weakest—largely due to its sanguine quality, jumping from mini biography to mini biography to adequately illustrate (some of her) many lovers. 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.Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas act out a paradoxical variant of this power play. Stein was cubistically solid, gruff and glowering, while Toklas, even with her bristly moustache, looked meek and dainty. Alice kept house, cooked, and allowed Gertrude to be a full-time genius, which was hard work because “you have to sit around so much doing nothing”. Yet the apparent weakling in this menage turned out to be the slave-driver, as Ernest Hemingway testified when he overheard Stein beg for mercy as she was tongue-lashed by the partner she called “Pussy”. Writer and judge Rachel Holmes said: “In these days of deliberately stoked culture wars Mohsin Zaidi deftly engages us with the harsh, hilarious and inherently human realities of multiple identity. With painful honesty, he shows how no community of class, race, faith or queerness is immune from suspicion and occasional hatred of otherness, nor mercifully from love, laughter and acceptance.”
