I am by nature a short story writer. I love writing toward the maximum impact in the shortest amount of space. I had done that successfully in my short story collection Lost Girls. Now I would have to learn to linger and to build a more complex narrative with peaks and valleys. I was going to have to put serious roadblocks in the way of characters I would grow to love and see them to their eventual ends.
Just as writers must have the courage to delve into the unknown, so Eve and Thomas had to marshal their courage to face the mysteries of memory and the terrors of war. The heart of the story is what ties Charlie and Thomas together.
In this beautiful novel, two stories separated by half a century intertwine to create an indelible narrative of peace and war. In the throes of his first loss, young Thomas joins the Army and travels to Vietnam, where he is propelled toward his fate. Decades later, in another time and place, Eve and Daniel welcome their infant son and resolve to set aside their own family ghosts. But is it possible to release the past? Can powerful experiences of love and death ever be forgotten? Through surprising and suspenseful turns, Beware the Tall Grass explores the evocative mysteries of time and memory.
Some of the more famous South Asian authors included in this collection are Rabindranath Tagore, Mulk Raj Anand, Mohandas Gandhi, Anita Desai, A. K. Ramaujan, and R. K. Narayan, authors whose work is familiar to many Americans, and who may even be known to a few of your more well-read students. Their inclusion also means that you or your students would be able to obtain other works by these authors if they are so interested, whereas the works of most of the other authors in this collection would be difficult to find in North American libraries. The greater availability of the works of such authors as Arundhati Roy, Vikram Chandra, Vikram Seth, and Salman Rushdie excuses their absence from this volume.
One benefit of this collection over Mirrorwork is that it is much shorter, with the stories themselves taking up 130 pages, and classroom exercises, assignments and a few photos consisting of forty pages rounding out the anthology. It is a very manageable volume. While the classroom exercises and assignments are geared to specific portions of the British educational system, they are also adaptable to American classrooms and should be useful for educators of grades six and higher. The Commentary section includes a short biography of each author, a vocabulary of non-English words, and ideas for both discussion and writing specific to each piece. The Ideas for Coursework section includes fourteen suggestions for projects or essays which pertain to the volume as a whole. These include preparation and taping of a radio program based on the stories in the volume, and writing an essay about the importance and role of the different languages in South Asia as these issues are addressed in this book.
This book should be of use to both language arts teachers and others who address world culture and history in their classrooms. Its accessibility and inclusion of background information and classroom suggestions make it of great value both to novices to the field of South Asian literature as well as to those already familiar with the field.
In conversation with Met experts, Hessel examines stories of people who went against the grain despite the odds being against them. The tour aims to encourage as many people as possible, at all levels of art-historical knowledge, to seek out work by these artists in museums.
In 1917, The Met purchased this portrait of a young woman artist for $200,000. At the time, it was thought to be painted by the male Neoclassical artist, Jacques-Louis David. Art historian Kathryn Calley Galitz shares how the scholar Margaret Oppenheimer made a surprising discovery when she reevaluated that attribution more than half a century later.
These two sculptures of Native American figures, Minnehaha and Hiawatha, are chiseled with incredible skill and restraint by the Black and Native American sculptor, Edmonia Lewis. Art historian Lisa E. Farrington recounts how this talented artist and savvy businesswoman rose to prominence after the Civil War. Despite consistent backlash from the wealthy white elites of the art world, Lewis achieved great success.
There are countless works by women artists in the collection that reside out of sight in storage facilities. In many cases, this invisibility is a symptom of the materials used to create artworks. Works on paper and textiles are extremely sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. To ensure that these works are preserved, they can only be on view for short periods of time.
In this next section of the tour, we highlight some of these incredible works not currently on view. Though they may be out of sight, curators and artists attest to their wide-reaching influence and advocate for sharing the stories of these works beyond the walls of the Museum.
This audio tour is one in a series of tours called Museums Without Men produced by Katy Hessel in collaboration with institutions across the globe, such as the Fine Arts Museum San Francisco, the Hepworth Wakefield, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and Tate Britain. The series encourages museum visitors to seek out work by great women and gender non-conforming artists in these institutions who, simply by virtue of their gender, were often overlooked and underrepresented.
