Offering a unique creativity-and-time-management technique, Word of the Day is a practice that assists writers to create at will, write as much as they want, and acquire accurate self-acknowledgement in the process. The practice immediately connects writers with their innate storytelling ability as reflected in their dreams. The techniques synthesize the right and left sides of the brain so that writers can draw upon the entirety of their creative tools, fusing the verbal and visual mind, unleashing structural instincts and creativity, allowing them to dance together. Writers are asked to put a notebook by their bed so they can write first thing in the morning when they wake up and just before bedtime. Studies have shown that our most creative moments happen immediately upon waking and just before falling asleep. Writing adjacent to these moments, even briefly, gives writers access to their unlimited imagination, powerful tools of imagery, and the full scope of their memory.

Uncivil Wars

Uncivil Wars

David Horowitz

Encounter Books,USA
2003
pokkari
The idea that taxpayers should pay reparations to African Americans for the damages of slavery and segregation is quickly becoming a central demand of some civil rights leaders. It has the backing of important black politicians like Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich), distinguished black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates and activists like Randall Robinson, who led the successful boycott movement against South Africa a decade ago. The Chicago City Council has overwhelmingly endorsed the concept and municipalities and state governments around the country are considering giving it support. In this well researched and carefully argued book, David Horowitz traces the origins of the reparations movement. He examines the case made by its advocates and concludes that it is "morally questionable and racially incendiary." He notes that only a tiny minority of Americans ever owned slaves; and most Americans living today (white and otherwise) are descended from post-Civil War immigrants who have no lineal connection to slavery at all. More intriguingly, he also points out that the GNP of black America is so large that it makes the African American community the tenth most prosperous "nation" in the world. But this book is more than just an in depth casebook on the hot button issue of reparations. In the hope of initiating a dialogue, Horowitz originally presented a summary of his ideas on this subject in the form of an advertisement that appeared in several college newspapers and was rejected by many more. Editorialists in America's leading papers and several chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union weighed on Horowitz's side. With the assistance of Richard Poe, Horowitz uses the response to the reparations issue to show how the new racial orthodoxy collides with the free speech battle and what its implications are for American education and culture.

In Russian Idea—Jewish Presence, Professor Brian Horowitz follows the career tracks of Jewish intellectuals who, having fallen in love with Russian culture, were unceremoniously repulsed. Horowitz relays the paradoxes of a synthetic Jewish and Russian self-consciousness in order to correct critics who have always considered Russians and Jews as polar opposites, enemies, and incompatible. In fact, the best Russian-Jewish intellectuals—Semyon Dubnov, Maxim Vinaver, Mikhail Gershenzon, and a number of Zionist writers and thinkers—were actually inspired by Russian culture and attempted to develop a sui generis Jewish creativity in three languages on Russian soil.

Self Portrait in Mirror #1

Self Portrait in Mirror #1

Jonathan Horowitz

Karma
2012
sidottu
In 1969, Roy Lichtenstein completed Mirror #1, the first of more than fifty mirror paintings the artist went on to paint over the next four years, of all of Lichtenstein’s mirror paintings, it is perhaps the most iconic. The mirror is both a metaphor for painting (art), and its bitter rival in the contest to “add to the stock of available reality”. It is therefore of little surprise that Lichtenstein’s choice of subject-matter offered him countless precedents, from the Arnolfini Portrait to Las Meninas to A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, to aspire and allude to. In this artist book, Jonathan Horowitz present a series of paintings inspired by Mirror #1. Each painting is made by a different individual, including Horowitz himself, and painted by eye from a small printout of the original. Only brushes and paint, and no additional mechanical apparatus, were used. While the dots in Lichtenstein are a sign of the absence of hand and also a sign of massive reproduction, the dots in the Horowitz paintings trace the body’s presence, and the fact of their hand-made-ness. Horowitz stresses the tactile marks that make up the painting, just as Lichtenstein does. But the prize for each artist is different. Every mark within the Horowitz declares itself as human and subjective, a living and mortal self. Each mark bears the imprint of the individual who made it. Horowitz revives the first viewer, the maker, and makes them, though not literally visible, present and felt.

The Disciple: A Wagnerian Tale from the Gilded Age

The Disciple: A Wagnerian Tale from the Gilded Age

Joseph Horowitz

BLACKWATER PRESS
2026
nidottu
Wagnerism dominated American cultural and intellectual life of the late nineteenth century. The central apostle was the conductor Anton Seidl, a prot g and surrogate son of the composer. Seidl arrived in the US in 1885. His life's mission became the propagation of Wagner in the US. In this capacity, his influence was immense - greater than Toscanini or Bernstein in decades to come. His early death, in1898, preceded the advent of broadcasts and recordings. In The Disciple, Seidl is remembered as a man beset by hidden sorrow. In a sense, he never recuperated from Wagner's death in 1882 - Seidl was then 32 years old. The impact of the Wagner personality was indelible - and not only on Seidl. The larger picture: the late Gilded Age marked the apex of classical music in the US. Seidl and Antonin Dvorak (also in The Disciple) were the most prominent, most influential personalities. Not much later came Gustav Mahler (1908-1911) - and The Disciple is in fact a prequel to Horowitz's acclaimed The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York. Both books argue that historical fiction can become an indispensable tool for cultural history. The principal secondary character of the novel is Laura Langford, who as founder of the Seidl Society became the most important concert impresario in Brooklyn. The Seidl Society presented Seidl in concert fourteen times a week at Coney Island's Brighton Beach resort. On Wagner Nights, the 3,000-seat music pavilion would fill to capacity. In winter, the Society presented Seidl in concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. This story is very little known. In fact, most American Wagnerites were women for whom Wagner afforded a necessary opportunity for emotional release.
