Gerald's Good Idea; the Secret Wife; the Snowflake Avalanche

Gerald's Good Idea; the Secret Wife; the Snowflake Avalanche

Y. York

Broadway Play Publishing Inc.,U.S.
2000
nidottu
This collection contains three full-length plays: GERALD'S GOOD IDEA, THE SECRET WIFE and THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE. "If there is a common thread in York's projects, it is that they are full of uncommon characters: children, 1960s housewives, black financial consultants, Native American activists. Very few of York's characters seem to have anything to do with the playwright herself...and her attention to those differences gives her work a frankly political spin." American Theater " Y York makes her points] by not taking herself too seriously, even as she offers astute observations about environmental, racial, and family matters." The New York Times "The future with all its exhilarating potential and terrifying possibilities has Y York in its grip. York does not struggle to break free, or even squirm. Calmly, with great wit and insight, she writes plays: environmental science-fiction plays that raise important questions even as they entertain." St Louis Post Dispatch " Y York] displays a strong imagination and raucous humor..." St Louis Sun " Y York] writes with passion and delivers a powerful appeal for personal freedom and idiosyncratic behavior." St Louis Post Dispatchfrom reviews of THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE "An ambitious modern fable'--concerning ecological disaster, race relations, and the human condition... A Native American fisherman's extreme response to an atrocious oil spill brings his family together with that of the African-American lawyer who defends him.... The script conspires to bring massive, global issues to a human, even comic plane. Peripheral choices--such as a mother struggling with whether to not to stop contributing to her planet's demise by using laundry bleach--are weighed against the fisherman's violent choice in a world where rats chewing through computer chips can bring our entire justice system to a halt. In the avalanche' of today's reality, this show offers us a chance to examine our own responsibility as, you guessed it, the flakes." The Seattle Weekly "York has a real flair for wry, intelligent humor.... THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE forgoes preaching for a gentle hopefulness that we can set things right on the planet and learn to understand each other better." Seattle Times "At one point in a discussion on environmental responsibility, Janet, the wife of] Thomas, a Native American being defended for shooting the president of a corporation responsible for a major oil spill, refers to Russell as you white people.' Action stops for a moment, and the implications hit, with strong force. To say that Y York's THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE is provocative, is somewhat an understatement." Seattle Gay News "An OUR TOWN for Our Time...THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE is about...our shared home-earth.... York has a wonderful gift for writing funny lines, and she's endowed all her characters with individual senses of humor. Even a sort of all-knowing nature sprite...has a delightful, sly wit. The tone and style of the whole production is, indeed, surprisingly light for what is basically a play about philosophical decisions...THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE is an adult play which children can enjoy."

Gerald Wilde

Gerald Wilde

Synergetic Press Inc.,U.S.
1988

This is the first retrospective publication devoted to the British abstract expressionist artist, Gerald Wilde. For the first time, it is possible to survey examples of his work from all his periods. After being sadly neglected during his life – in spite of the admiration felt for him by fellow artists – he is being given his rightful place. The only abstract expressionist who emerged in England, he was a pioneer in painting technique. His early work is full of scenes of the London life he saw with great intensity. For many people, he was inextricably linked with Gulley Jimson, the painter-genius of Joyce Cary’s novel. In his last period, he was producing the most remarkable images of ideas as if seeing their energy directly. This book contains twenty-eight color plates revealing the quintessence of Wilde’s art as well as forty-six illustrations. The book has an Introduction by David Sylvester which gives testament to Wilde’s genius. There are essays by William Feaver, Flash Allen (aka Marie Harding), and Corinna MacNeice, all of whom knew him in his last years and have helped in the mounting of major exhibitions of his work.

Gerald Gardner and the Creation of Wicca

Gerald Gardner and the Creation of Wicca

John Callow

Cambridge University Press
2025
sidottu
Gerald Gardner (1884–1964) provided the central inspiration for Wicca, as a modern, revived, form of Pagan witchcraft. As such, his cultural and religious significance has grown exponentially over the 60 years since his death. 'A Rough Magic' re-evaluates the sources of Gardner's inspiration, redefines his early life within the context of colonial Malaya and the opium trade, and emphasises his vision and ability in fashioning an entirely new synthesis of magical beliefs drawn from both Eastern and Western traditions. In so doing, he stripped away the demonic elements of witchcraft and emphasised Wicca as a creative, mutable and undogmatic nature religion, serving as both fertility cult and a unique source of personal empowerment, that was capable of transforming the world.

If your life was a song, what would it sound like? In the case of Gerald Barkley, it would be an elevator jingle. Barkley's never been the most memorable guy. Even as a longtime Los Angeles homicide detective, people tend to forget him. And when his death draws near in the form of a rare blood disease, he has to wonder...will anyone notice when he's gone? Add to that Barkley's latest case: The mysterious death of Julian Strange, a rock-and-roll icon with an obsession for cats. Renowned as a wild performer and a dabbler in the odd, Strange procured a copy of the world's oldest song. What does it have to do with his death? And what will Gerald Barkley learn from it all? The debut novel from speculative fiction author Kyle A. Massa, "Gerald Barkley Rocks" examines music, fame, mortality, and the strangeness that composes them all. One part detective story, one part rock-and-roll elegy, and one part supernatural comedy, this book might just change your outlook on life-and death.
