Easily Slip into Another World - Henry Threadgill

An autobiography of one of the towering figures of contemporary American music and a powerful meditation on history, race, capitalism, and art.Henry Threadgill has had a singular life in music. At 79, the saxophonist, flautist, and celebrated composer is one of three jazz artists (along with Ornette Coleman and Wynton Marsalis) to have won a Pulitzer Prize. In Easily Slip into Another World, Threadgill recalls his childhood and upbringing in Chicago, his family life and education, and his brilliant career in music.Here are riveting recollections of the music scene in Chicago in the early 1960s, when Threadgill developed his craft among friends and schoolmates who would go on to form the core of the highly influential Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM); the year and a half he spent touring with an evangelical preacher in the mid-1960s; his military service in Vietnam—a riveting tale in itself, but also representative of an under-recognized aspect of jazz history, given the number of musicians in Threadgill’s generation who served in the armed forces.We appreciate his genius as he travels to the Netherlands, Venezuela, Trinidad, Sicily, and Goa enriching his art; immerses himself in the volatile downtown scene in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s; collaborates with choreographers, writers, and theater directors as well as an astonishing range of musicians, from AACM stalwarts (Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, and Leroy Jenkins), to Chicago bluesmen, downtown luminaries, and world music innovators; shares his impressions of the recording industry his perspectives on music education and the history of Black music in the United States; and, of course, accounts for his work with the various ensembles he has directed over the past five decades.

John James Conway, an orphan, boarded the R. M. S. Cedric in Queenstown, Ireland in 1907. Turning his back on the land of his birth, John travelled alone in steerage. He prayed that if he could be strong enough to survive the journeyâ ™s wretched conditions, he would be rewarded with the promise of a better life in New York City.Seven decades later, Kat Conway, his granddaughter, prays for courage to stand on her own as she boards the QE2. Also alone, sheâ ™s in a private room with bath and a porthole. Traveling in the opposite direction, her destination is Southampton, England. Along the way, she is wined, dined, waited on, catered to, entertained and even wooed.In between these two disparate Atlantic crossings, you will be captivated by three generations of Conways. As the author captures the changing times and the changing roles of women, you will be moved. You will cheer for this family, share their pain as they conquer fear, suffer losses and endure both personal and global hardships. But you will also share their bliss and celebrate every success, as you wonder what the next page will bring. This book is a celebration of family.

The Lonely City - Laing Olivia

Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism #1 Book of the Year from Brain Pickings Named a best book of the year by NPR, Newsweek, Slate, Pop Sugar, Marie Claire, Elle, Publishers Weekly, and Lit Hub A dazzling work of biography, memoir, and cultural criticism on the subject of loneliness, told through the lives of iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of The Trip to Echo Spring. When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her midthirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by the most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving from Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks to Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules, from Henry Darger’s hoarding to David Wojnarowicz’s AIDS activism, Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone, illuminating not only the causes of loneliness but also how it might be resisted and redeemed. Humane, provocative, and moving, The Lonely City is a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.

Arshile Gorky: New York City

A fascinating examination of influential artist Arshile Gorky s relationship to New York City, exploring notions of exile, identity, and authorship This book unpacks the relationship between Arshile Gorky and New York, focusing on the artistâ ™s early years in the city following his arrival in 1924 after fleeing the Armenian genocide. What did it mean for an artist who named himself after a Russian writer and pledged allegiance to Picasso to find his own voice in New York? Embracing the metropolis as a locus of modernity and liberation, Gorky sought to reconcile it with his own cultural and historical inheritance. Bound together in a relationship of mutual influence, Gorky would come to shape the history of New York painting, just as the city had shaped his own work. Edited by Ben Eastham, this richly illustrated book combines fascinating new insights into Gorkyâ ™s work with broader reflections on his status as an immigrant artist, and includes essays by writer Adam Gopnik, art historians Tamar Kharatishvili, Christa Noel Robbins, and Emily Warner, alongside a meditation on Gorkyâ ™s enduring influence by painter Allison Katz, and WPA-era images of New York by Berenice Abbott.

Your stand-in brother? The father to your child?

The Catcher in the Rye - David Jerome Salinger

The brilliant, funny, meaningful novel (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books. If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days.

In My Remaining Years - Jean Grae

A collection of darkly humorous, intensely personal essays by cult fave and multi-hyphenate artist Jean GraeIn My Remaining Years, by creative juggernaut Jean Grae, debunks the myth that coming-of-age narratives should be reserved for the kids, providing a much-needed rallying cry for those of us still trying to figure it out in our forties. These laugh-out-loud essays cover everything from aging gracefully (with and without botox), what happens when you look for community and almost start a cult, befriending childhood demons (Hi Mumm-ra!), gender fluidity in middle age, the cost of being too fabulous, and the various gymnastics we do to avoid becoming our parents, taking us from her childhood in 1980s New York City to present-day Baltimore. In these pages, Jean captures magic in a bottle, distilling the feeling of hanging out with your smartest, funniest, and most brutally honest best friend.

Funk You Too! Humor and Irreverence in Ceramic Sculpture

The first book to connect the history of Funk Art to contemporary ceramic practice. Funk You Too! arrives at a moment when clay has unprecedented currency in the art world as a sculptural medium. It is the first book to connect the history of Funk Art to contemporary ceramic practice through an exploration of the enduring role of humor in clay image-making. The founding generation of Funk artists used forms of subversion to deflate the power of the aesthetic hierarchy that dismissed ceramics as hobby art. Today, in the hands of a younger, more diverse cohort, the irreverent approach is a powerful tool of critique and personal expression and the ⠜spoonful of sugar⠝ to help discuss sociopolitical concerns of our time. Showcasing over 50 works from a 2023 exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, this catalog addresses the historical context for the emergence of ceramic sculpture in 1960s Funk Art and applies a critical lens to work by its contemporary successors. The exhibition⠙s curator, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, conceptually frames the exhibition⠙s emphasis on humor as a tool for tackling personal and political themes. Garth Johnson contributes an essay on the impulse for humor in American ceramics that lead to Funk ceramics. The catalog also features biographies of the artists, color images, and a select bibliography.

A Life in Letters - Pelham Grenville Wodehouse

The definitive edition of P.G. Wodehouse s collected letters, edited with commentary by Oxford academic Sophie Ratcliffe.One of the funniest and most admired writers of the twentieth century, P. G. Wodehouse always shied away from the idea of a biography. A quiet, retiring man, he expressed himself through the written word. His letters - collected and expertly edited here - provide an illuminating biographical accompaniment to legendary comic creations such as Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Psmith and the Empress of Blandings.Drawing on previously unpublished sources, these letters give an unrivalled insight into Wodehouse, covering his schooldays at Dulwich College, the family s financial reverses which saw his hopes of university dashed, life in New York working in musical comedy with Jerome Kern and George and Ira Gershwin, the years of fame as a novelist, and the unhappy episode in 1940 where he was interned by the Germans and later erroneously accused of broadcasting pro-Nazi propaganda.
