![]() The recollections accumulate until Ari Folman arrives at Sabra and Shatila and his investigation reaches its terrible end. Tanks crush cars and buildings with lethal indifference snipers pick off men on donkeys, men in cars, men drinking coffee a soldier waltzes through a storm of bullets rock songs fill the air, and then yellow flares. Soldiers are haunted by inexplicable nightmares and flashbacks―snapping, growling dogs with teeth bared and eyes glowing orange a recurring image of three young men rising naked out of the sea to drift into the Beirut battlefield. Gradually, the blankness of his mind is filled in by scenes of combat and patrol, misery and carnage, as well as dreams and hallucinations. Then came a friend's disturbing dream, and with it Folman's need to excavate the truth of the war in Lebanon and answer the crucial question: what was he doing during the hours of slaughter?Ĭhallenging the collective amnesia of friends and fellow soldiers, Folman painfully, candidly pieces together the war and his place in it. Ari Folman was one of those Israeli soldiers, but for more than twenty years he remembered nothing of that night or of the weeks leading up to it. ![]() One night in Beirut in September 1982, while Israeli soldiers secured the area, Christian militia members entered the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila and began to massacre hundreds, if not thousands, of Palestinians. ![]() ![]() "Special, strange, and peculiarly potent. ![]()

"Many people have problems, but oftentimes it's good to know they can talk to someone who's a total stranger to them," she said. Most of Terkel's interviews were planned well in advance, but his conversation with Moog was a moment of serendipity that arrived when he called for an early morning ride to the airport in Youngstown, Ohio. This year, producers Joe Richman of Radio Diaries and Jane Saks of Project& were given access to all the original raw field interviews - most of which have never before been heard publicly.Īmong them is an unexpected interview with Helen Moog, a taxi driver. When it was published in 1974 it became a best-seller - something unprecedented for an oral history collection.īut after the book came out, the interview cassettes were packed away in boxes and stored in Terkel's home office. The result was Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do. He collected more than 130 conversations with a variety of people, including a waitress, a car parker, a jockey, a baseball player, a farm worker, a press agent and a sports team owner. ![]() In the early 1970s, radio host and oral historian Studs Terkel went around the country with a tape recorder, interviewing people about their jobs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At 17, she leaves for Ethiopia, where she falls in love with a quixotic doctor named Aziz (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). Meanwhile, Lily is left behind at the shrine and its spiritual leader, Great Abdal, takes her in as one of his own and becomes Lily’s caretaker. The film never shows how the parents were murdered, but it can only be assumed that the parents were tragically killed while trying to buy drugs. Unfortunately, her parents left her behind while intoxicated on drugs and never came back. Seven-year-old Lily is brought to the town of Bilal al Habash by her nomadic free-spirited parents to be blessed by a revered Sufi master. 13 Shares Based on the Camilla Gibb novel of the same name, the film Sweetness in the Belly tells the story of an Anglo-Irish woman named Lily (Dakota Fanning), who was abandoned in Africa as a child and raised in Morocco as a devout Muslim. ![]() ![]() He is forced by his father to go out begging daily, and he is beaten severely if he returns empty-handed. Tom Canty's life in Offal Court, off Pudding Lane, is a hard life in one of London's poorest neighborhoods. Coincidentally, Tom Canty and Edward Tudor were born in London on the same day. The other boy is Tom Canty, the unloved son of a beggar and thief. One of these boys is the long-awaited male heir to the throne of England, Edward Tudor, son of Henry VIII. After many adventures, matters are set right again, with one of the boys resuming his rightful, royal position and the other boy accepting a position that recognizes his innate intelligence and good heartedness. ![]() The Prince and the Pauper tells the tale of two boys who trade clothing one afternoon and, as a result, they trade lives as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a petty exercise, and Orwell himself provides an escape clause for his list of rules for writing clear English: “Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.” But it has made us all feel slightly better for having our writing crutches pushed out from under us. ![]() Every time I’ve taught George Orwell’s famous 1946 essay on misleading, smudgy writing, “ Politics and the English Language,” to a group of undergraduates, we’ve delighted in pointing out the number of times Orwell violates his own rules-indulges some form of vague, “pretentious” diction, slips into unnecessary passive voice, etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Leap, and the net will appear” is his personal philosophy and his message. “It’s like I’m somehow making up for a lifetime’s worth of story-telling!” Since then the romantic tales have poured out of him. He submitted a novella and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. “Who cares what they are doing if we don’t care about them?” Excited about the growing male/male romance market-where setup and cute meets is where it’s at-he began writing again. “The sex is never as important as the characters,” he says. In the nineties, he wrote for gay adult magazines but stopped because the editors wanted all sex without plot, and edited his setups right out. He has made up stories since he was a child it’s where he finds his joy. He has gone to literature conventions his entire adult life, where he’s been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. ![]() loves to read romance, comedy, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, science fiction, and even horror-as far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are character driven and entertaining, it doesn’t matter the genre. He is also blessed to have a lovely daughter and they love to hang out.ī.G. He is missing his soul dog Sarah Jane very much, but she will live on forever in several of his books and in his heart. They have two sweet rescue dogs named Oliver (who the breed name Dorkie applies perfectly) and Frodo (who is just learning to be a dog). Thomas lives in Kansas City with his two husbands-which yes, is different, but amazingly rewarding and wonderfully romantic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heidi Knecht, Anne Pike-Tay and Randall White (Boca Raton: CRC Press, 1993), 211-28.Ħ G.R.
