![]() ![]() Rosen’s well-researched book, which I sought out - just as I sought out Freud’s Mistress –– for its details about Freud’s domestic life (such as meat shopping), is written from the point of view of Martha, Freud’s wife of 53 years. Freud: A Novel by Nicolle Rosen, a French psychologist. The prime source of the information presented here is Peter Gay’s Freud: A Life for Our Time, generally accepted as the definitive Freud biography. Although I discuss some problems I have with the book there, including my feeling that it doesn’t convey a strong sense of Freud’s Vienna, I grant it its central premise, that Freud had an affair with his sister-in-law, Minna Bernays. Today, I’m pleased not only to return to Freud Friday after a long absence but also to give you a double header: On my friend Vera Marie Badertscher’s excellent A Traveler’s Library site, I review Freud’s Mistress by Karen Mack and Jennifer Kaufman (see The Steamy Side of Vienna). ![]()

Books The Ultimate Human Secrets - The Hidden Power in our Mysterious Unconscious Knowledge by Ramzi Najjar Welcome Now You Read The Ultimate Human Secrets - The Hidden Power in our Mysterious Unconscious Knowledge ![]() ![]() Filled with hairpin turns of plot and “a bustling, ridiculous humanity worthy of Dickens” ( The New York Times Book Review), The Little Friend is a work of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent. Aided only by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet crosses her town’s rigid lines of race and caste and burrows deep into her family’s history of loss. So it is that Robin’s sister Harriet-unnervingly bright, insufferably determined, and unduly influenced by the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson-sets out to unmask his killer. Twelve years later Robin’s murder is still unsolved and his family remains devastated. The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where one Mother’s Day a little boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes was found hanging from a tree in his parents’ yard. “Destined to become a special kind of classic.” - The New York Times Book Review. ![]() ![]() As with the best 19th-century novels, it is indulgently expansive, as cluttered and overstuffed as.

We are introduced to a Stalin of frighteningly human proportions, a man fully capable of love, grief and sorrow. Access to new documents enables Montefiore to introduce the reader to a new Stalin, or perhaps more correctly, to allow Stalin’s own words to demolish the layers of myth and obfuscation that have accrued. This focus allows for an unsettling degree of intimacy with previously fearsome (or purposefully obscured) figures such as Beria, Molotov and Khrushchev, not to mention Stalin himself. ![]() The hook behind Simon Sebag Montefiore’s latest contribution to the strange world of Stalin studies places the figure of Stalin in the foreground through a focus on previously classified letters and memos from the archives of the former Soviet Union. It is the human element of Stalin, the contradictory, unsettling, often paradoxical evidence of the man himself that renders his interior life invisible, and which stubbornly resists explication or explanation. Save for a few nagging mysteries, what Stalin did is well understood. Although there is no shortage of ink to be spent on explaining the inexplicable, the life of Stalin remains almost as much of a mystery now as it was 50 years ago. ![]() ![]() And Jacobson and her wife, Lynn Zashin, M.D., now her partner of almost 40 “I stopped her and asked, ‘Do you know anyone who could write a book for lesbian moms who have a kid?’ Because there’s nothing out there.’”Īt the time, Newman had several books to her name. “I think I was coming up the stairs at a 1988 Pride Parade fund-raiser pancake breakfast, and Lesléa was coming down the stairs,” said Amy Jacobson, a physician’s assistant at the Northampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (and the inspiration for “Mama Jane” in the story). Which is why Newman hopes for less splash: “I’d like us to live in a world where it’s not a big deal whether a child has two moms,” she said recently, sipping cappuccino at a pastry shop in Northampton, a few blocks from where she first got the idea to write “Heather.” It sprang from an urgent request. As society changes, she added, “books should serve as both mirrors and windows,” and indeed, this book’s reception has uncannily reflected the evolution of gay rights over the years. “When the rights became available, Candlewick jumped at the chance to bring this modern classic back to the wider marketplace,” said Katie Cunningham, the book’s editor. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the next twenty–seven years he was a beacon-transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty–four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence-full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. Stunned, confused, and only twenty–nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free.īut with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. ![]() “An amazing and heartwarming story, it restores our faith in the inherent goodness of humanity.” A powerful, revealing story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading by a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn't commit. ![]() |
