Groensteen himself had recently published a study of book, La construction de "La Cage." I was the Chair of the CA&C Area for 2002, and when I received Thierry's abstract, I knew that this presentation deserved a special session all its own. By happy coincidence, not only had Vaughn-James produced The Cage while living in Toronto, but Prof. The Cage is, simply (or better, complexly) The Cage.Īt the 2002 Popular Culture Association conference in Toronto, the Comic Art & Comics Area was honored to present a lecture by noted comics critic and scholar Thierry Groensteen on The Cage. It's also not a tour or even a travelogue. Even with the accompanying "explanatory" text, The Cage doesn't exactly present any sort of traditional narrative. It's sort of a trip inside an apparently abandoned building, with no people anywhere to be seen. If you're not familiar with The Cage, here are a couple of images to give you a feel for it. (And thanks to afNews where I first learned this sobering news.)

The Outrun was first published in paperback by Canongate Books of Edinburgh in 2016. The book is illustrated with hand-drawn maps of the Orkney Islands and of the island of Papa Westray. Later, she spends a winter on the Orkney island of Papa Westray in the RSPB's house, normally only used in summer. To her surprise, she gets a temporary job, on Orkney, mapping rare corncrakes for the RSPB. ![]() She combines reflections and memories with immediate descriptions of the islands' wild nature, wind, geology, and wildlife. She tells of her rehabilitation after ten unhappy years in London, during which she had become an alcoholic and drug taker. The Outrun describes Amy Liptrot's experiences when she returns to live in Orkney, where she grew up on a farm, her father schizophrenic and bipolar, her mother an evangelical Christian. It won her the 2016 Wainwright Prize and the 2017 PEN/Ackerley Prize. The book combines nature writing with self-reflection. It is set in Orkney, her childhood home, where she returned to rehabilitate after becoming an alcoholic in London. The Outrun is a 2016 memoir by the Scottish journalist and author Amy Liptrot. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sourced from scholarly and primary materials, as well as museum archives, exhibition records, and socio-cultural records, the list is neither exhaustive nor perfect. Now numbering over two thousand names of established, exhibited female practitioners, this index is not comprehensive and is emphatically not presented as such. This directory seeks to address-and redress-the lack of a comprehensive codex of Southern women artists active between the late 1890s and the early 1960s, the period surveyed in TJC’s most recent book, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. While many of the artists connected to the region are widely known and duly noted in the canon of American art history, far more fine artists-and female artists, in particular- have been overlooked. ![]() Through its academic research, the Johnson Collection has worked intently to document and celebrate the achievements of artists associated with the South. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her picture-perfect life-living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising a beautiful son, Asher-was upended when her husband revealed a darker side.

The books were absurdly smart, occasionally infuriating and often hilarious. ![]() ![]() Ben Lerner’s first two novels, Leaving the Atocha Station and 10:04, were funny, cynical, metafictive delights, taking the raw material of Lerner’s life – a Kansas boy making it big in the world of avant-garde poetry – and playing modish games with the knowing, waspish first-person narrative, constantly destabilising the reading experience. R eading a new book from a writer you admire is never a straightforward thing, particularly when the advance buzz, while positive, suggests a change of direction, a new maturity and seriousness. ![]() |
