From Rabbit Ears to the Rabbit Hole

From Rabbit Ears to the Rabbit Hole

Kathleen Collins

University Press of Mississippi
2021
sidottu
For the past several years, critics have been describing the present era as both ""the end of television"" and one of ""peak TV,"" referring to the unprecedented quality and volume and the waning of old technologies, formats, and habits. Television's projections and reflections have significantly contributed to who we are individually and culturally. From Rabbit Ears to the Rabbit Hole: A Life with Television reveals the reflections of a TV scholar and fan analyzing how her life as a consumer of television has intersected with the cultural and technological evolution of the medium itself. In a narrative bridging television studies, memoir, and comic, literary nonfiction, Kathleen Collins takes readers alongside her from the 1960s through to the present, reminiscing and commiserating about some of what has transpired over the last five decades in the US, in media culture, and in what constitutes a shared cultural history. In a personal, critical, and entertaining meditation on her relationship with TV-as avid consumer and critic-she considers the concept and institution of TV as well as reminiscing about beloved, derided, or completely forgotten content. She describes the shifting role of TV in her life, in a progression that is far from unique, but rather representative of a largely collective experience. It affords a parallel coming of age, that of the author and her coprotagonist, television. By turns playful and serious, wry and poignant, it is a testament to the profound and positive effect TV can have on a life and, by extrapolation, on the culture.

Horse & Rabbit Stew: It's Probably Because I Was A Breech Birth

Horse & Rabbit Stew: It's Probably Because I Was A Breech Birth

J. Gregory Street

A Vietnam veteran finds peace after a lifetime of tumult in J. Gregory Street's eye-opening new memoir, Horse & Rabbit Stew: It's Probably Because I Was A Breech Birth. A precocious child who turns into a rebellious teenager, Street barely holds his life together. After sneaking out of high school and squeaking into college, he soon finds himself banished-running headfirst into the arms of the United States Army and the war in Vietnam. Street endeavored to avoid the infantry but was assigned to the First Infantry Division's cavalry squadron-The Big Red One; The Bloody Red One. That life-altering venture, after a startling in-country adjustment, leads him to personal success, complete with decoration and rapid promotion. Street's world later crashes when he is faced with charges for a crime that, if convicted, could get him the death penalty. The bogus charges soon vanish, but the insult to his honor remains. Street finds himself wrestling with a host of mixed emotions both in-country and upon his return home. Angry and confused, he launches into a life full of heady triumphs and tragic memories. PTSD does not enter Street's mind until he receives accidental counseling, sparking an emotional turn-around. Over the decades after returning home, Street struggles with his demons making slow progress. He does manage to find and marry the love of his life, complete his education, and successfully co-found three (and sell two) companies. A lifelong love of aviation provides a new challenge and Street realizes the biggest obstacle in his life had always been . . . himself. In this riveting memoir readers will marvel at the shocking exploits and profound changes of a man who comes to embrace both the life he has already lived for its bold and broad experiences and the promising life yet to come.

For Rabbit, with Love and Squalor: An American Read

For Rabbit, with Love and Squalor: An American Read

Anne Roiphe

FREE PRESS
2016
nidottu
What does it mean to love a character in a book? Many of us do. Many of us always have. These loves are not the subject of late-night phone conversations with friends or entries in our secret diaries. Yet, as Anne Roiphe reveals in her stunning new book, the characters we know only in fiction live forever in our hearts and our minds. We are what we read. In For Rabbit, with Love and Squalor, Roiphe takes us on a glorious tour of the relationships she has had with the great male characters of American fiction: Holden Caulfield, Robert Jordan, Dick Diver, Rabbit, Nathan Zuckerman, Frank Bascombe, and Max and Mickey. In her literary love life Roiphe is a serial monogamist. When she is involved with one character, she is exclusively his until another comes along. She is an audience, an imaginary lover, and a critic, too -- but a critic only in the way a relative carps or chides at the escapades of a dear one. Though a woman, she identifies with her male heroes; as a woman, she feels love, awe, worry, and tenderness toward them at the same time. Never have the great male creations of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, Salinger, Roth and Updike, Ford and Sendak come alive so vibrantly through the critical imagination of a fellow novelist. What we discover on the printed page often carries over to our real-life encounters with the opposite sex, and so Roiphe weaves fragments of her own life story throughout the book. At different times in her life, men like Holden, Rabbit, Nathan, and Frank taught her much of what she knows about how men feel, how they experience love and loss, how they are like and yet unlike her. Piece by piece, Roiphe uncovers a portrait of the male soul, in all its rage and glory. A personal odyssey as well as a celebration of the joys of reading, For Rabbit, with Love and Squalor is a winning blend of self-discovery, criticism, and autobiography that will inspire everyone in love with the written word

The Rabbit Effect: Live Longer, Happier, and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science of Kindness

The Rabbit Effect: Live Longer, Happier, and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science of Kindness

Kelli Harding

Atria Books

This groundbreaking and life-changing work based on the latest research effectively demonstrates "the profound impact that love, connection, and kindness have on our health" (Mark Williamson, PhD, director of Action for Happiness). When Columbia University doctor Kelli Harding began her clinical practice, she never intended to explore the invisible factors behind our health. But then there were the rabbits. In 1978, a seemingly straightforward experiment designed to establish the relationship between high blood cholesterol and heart health in rabbits discovered that kindness--in the form of a particularly nurturing post-doc who pet and spoke to the lab rabbits as she fed them--made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart. As Dr. Kelli Harding reveals in this eye-opening book, the rabbits were just the beginning of a much larger story. Groundbreaking new research shows that love, friendship, community, and our environment can have a greater impact on our health than anything that happens in the doctor's office. For instance, chronic loneliness can be as unhealthy as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day; napping regularly can decrease one's risk of heart disease; and people with purpose are less likely to get sick. At once paradigm-shifting and empowering, The Rabbit Effect illuminates vital public health research showing kindness in our day-to-day lives can make the "world a healthier, happier place. I recommend this book highly for anyone who wants to live more healthfully" (Christy Turlington Burns, and CEO of Every Mother Counts).
