Sense And Sensibility is Ang Lee's take on an English tale of manners, money and matrimony. The Taiwanese director was an outsider to this world, obviously, but he also brought a formality and desperate longing to this project. Lead actress Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel. And it's a good role, doing the buttoned-down thing she did so well back in the '90s. She's a funny woman who made her name being serious. Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant are all very good too, but the men take a back seat to the sisters in this movie about (subtle) feminism. So rescue the woman you adore while on a horse when she gets caught in the rain and then try to love enough for two as our 669th episode has the Ellises seeing what the deal is with the Dashwoods and their men in Sense And Sensibility. Well, Actually: at the 11:55 mark, it should be Elizabeth "Spriggs" plural, not "Sprigg" singular. Also, the director of the oft-mentioned 1994 Little Women was Gillian Armstrong.

This week, we're playing clean-up on the last of the movies rushed into release to capitalize on Saoirse's Oscar nomination with Gillian Armstrong's Death Defying Acts. An almost entirely fictionalized melodrama set in the last weeks of Harry Houdini's life, the film stars Guy Pearce and Catherine Zeta-Jones at the very tail end of the star runs, and Saoirse Ronan as the latter's plucky con artist daughter. We talk the two leads' A-list careers twenty years on, fancast our own Harry Houdini biopics, argue over which de Havilland sister was better, and devote some time to talking about The Pitt. We mostly talk about The Pitt. How good is The Pitt y'all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Journalist Kerrie Davies with the story of how novelist Miles Franklin went undercover as a maid for a year, in Sydney and Melbourne's wealthy houses, well before gonzo journalists became household names.The real-life story of novelist Stella Maria Miles Franklin had an unexpected chapter after publishing My Brilliant Career.In 1903, Miles became a 'girl stunt reporter' by going undercover as a servant.For a year, she lived as a maid in Sydney and Melbourne's wealthy houses and wrote about the humiliations and drudgery in the daily lives of servant girls, or 'slaveys'.During her experiment she hand-rolled heavy, wet clothes through a washing mangle; served her employers pre-breakfast tea and toast in bed, which she thought was an obscene indulgence; she cleaned guest rooms and parlours; helped at high-society balls and kept fires burning in winter.The manuscript Miles wrote about this year pre-dated George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London by three decades, yet it never found a publisher.Journalist Kerrie Davies has investigated this little-known chapter of Miles' life, finally bringing this story to life in her own book.This episode of Conversations explores feminism, suffragettes, biography, books, servants, writing, Australian fiction, boy sober, class warfare, adventures, adventurous women, risk-taking, origin stories, gonzo journalism, Nellie Bly, Rose Scott, early 20th century Sydney, Chicago, women's rights, trad wives, motherhood, partnership, self-partnering.Miles Franklin Undercover is published by Allen and Unwin.

Here we come a-wassailing and here's a new episode to warm you up! For only the second time in this podcast's history, three guests join Mark for a special discussion, and these guests are practically family! Mark's sisters from other misters - Sarah Menaquale, Kit Sheehan, and Melissa Ward - are here to celebrate the classic Louisa May Alcott story Little Women and its great 1994 film adaption from Gillian Armstrong for its 30th anniversary. They mourn the death of Beth, praise the Thomas Newman score, and will never forgive Amy for burning Jo's manuscript. Plus, they compare the 1994 vs. 2019 Greta Gerwig versions and ask which Laurie do you prefer: Christian Bale or Timothée Chalamet? When you finish this episode, head to the YouTube channel for Part 2 of this discussion: https://www.youtube.com/@releasedaterewind/videos
Kelsi and Trey dive into the coming of age world of Little Women, comparing Gillian Armstrong's beloved 1994 adaptation with Greta Gerwig's 2019 reimagining. We unpack how each version interprets Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, from Armstrong's heartfelt, linear approach that leans into nostalgia and emotional honesty to Gerwig's two-timeline structure, which reframes the story as a reflection on memory, ambition, and the relationship between commerce and art. We also explore the performances—Winona Ryder's fiery Jo versus Saoirse Ronan's restless, modern take—and debate Laurie's evolution, Amy's redemption arc, and how both films portray love, art, and community.

Just in time for Mother's Day, this week on Fabulous Film and Friends we're putting the brakes on the testosterone-fueled man vs. man combat of our last few episodes by diving headfirst into an intense congress of girl power and warmhearted thoughts and feelings as we pit the 1949, 1994 and 2019 versions of Little Women against each other in an uncompromising evaluation of cinematic depth and storytelling prowess.My guests this week are two world renowned guy- guys but respected girl movie lovers in their own right: Dr. David Johnson, DMD and Gordon Alex Robertson and the woman whose furrowed brow, stomping feet, and desk pounding motivated this episode, my sister the English literature major Roseanne Caputi.The synopsis: Set in the mid-19th century during and after The American Civil War, "Little Women" tells the story of the March sisters: Meg, the eldest and most grounded, Jo, a fiery headstrong writer, Beth, quiet and shy and an accomplished pianist, and Amy, an artist dead set on marrying for money. The films based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott follow the sisters as they grow up and face war, illness, death, love, marriage, financial crises and personal triumphs. The 1949 version was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starred June Allyson as Jo, Elizabeth Taylor as Amy, Janet Leigh as Meg, Margaret O'Brien as BethMary Astor as Marmee,Lucile Watson as Aunt MarchPeter Lawford as LaurieSir Charles Aubrey Smith as Mr. LawrenceRossano Brazzi as Professor Bhaer Little Women (1994) was directed by Gillian Armstrong and starred: Winona Ryder as Jo, Trini Alvarado as MegClaire Danes as Beth, Kirsten Dunst and Samantha Mathis in a dual role as AmySusan Sarandon as MarmeeJohn Neville as Mr. LawrenceChristian Bale as Laurie Gabriel Byrne as Professor Bhaer Little Women (2019) was Directed by Greta Gerwig and starred Saoirse (Surshee) Ronan as JoEmma Watson as BethFlorence Pugh as AmyEliza Scanlen as BethLaura Dern as Marmee Bob Odenkirk as Reverend MarchMeryl Streep as Aunt MarchChris Cooper as Mr. LawrenceTimothee Chalamet as Laurie Louis Garrel as Professor Bhaer

ServerlessDays Belfast was on the 28th of February. It's a volunteer, community, and not-for-profit event. We had a bunch of sponsors: AWS, Bazaarvoice, EverQuote, G-P, Instil and LibertyIT. Our organizers are me, Gillian Armstrong, Garth Gilmour, Peter Farrell, Julie Sherlock, and Treasa Anderson. We had 12 speakers, and over 260 attendees from over 40 companies. But most excitingly we had it at the Game of Thrones Studios Tour. The theme was 'The Reality and Fantasy of Serverless, Building Serverless Teams and Making it Real'. Phil Le-Brun, who is the Director of the Enterprise Strategy Team for AWS launched the event. And give us a perspective of what he sees when he is speaking to the leaders of the industry. IT Revolution was very generous to sponsor and provide 250 of 'The Value Flyweel Effect' books. Julian Wood gave the Keynote. Even though he works for AWS as a Serverless Developer Advocate, he gave his opinion on where he sees the industry. I thought that paired really nicely with Mattie Wilson from Instil. He gave a brilliant talk on an engineering team going through the journey from a cloud application to a serverless application. Sheen Brisals from The LEGO Group, as ever, gave an absolutely brilliant talk about Lego's journey. Going Serverless to EDA and the team topologies of an event-driven organisation. Sheen is an absolute master. Jonah Andersson did a talk on the .NET stack. And Conall Bennett and Roger Moore did a talk on CME Group's move to a Google tech stack. Craig McCarter talked about large-scale serverless. And I took comfort from hearing about a team that's doing something financially significant at a massive scale. And they're pushing those limits. I really enjoyed the talk by Anna Carlin and Emma Patton from Aflac Northern Ireland. They called their talk: 'A rookie journey of discovery and learning'. So they came in as grads and basically built a serverless system. And Chintan Parmar's Dunelm story was really interesting about Dunelm's e-commerce site because it's quite an unknown story. Most people had no idea that they had a whole big serverless ecommerce site. Ben Ellerby from Aleios closed out with his Serverless Staircase Framework. I've been a fan of Ben's for many years. He's an AWS Hero. He's brilliant and very experienced. And he's worked on a lot of serverless projects. That is what his company does. So he's got lots of war stories from doing this with real customers. Serverless Craic from The Serverless Edge Check out our book The Value Flywheel Effect Follow us on Twitter @ServerlessEdge
Hilary Brougher writes and directs films which blend the mechanics of original storytelling with gritty development of character. Through incisive dialogue; emotional harbingers of hope followed by inevitable glimpses of realism, Hilary's projects each carry with them a distinct piece of the era in which they were constructed. Growing up in Catskill, NY, she would frequent the cinema every week to catch a taste of the latest auteur to be featured, such as Fellini. Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, Gillian Armstrong and Jane Campion were among the filmmakers she admired into the 80's. She made her film debut as writer and director of The Sticky Fingers of Time (Terumi Matthews; Nicole Zaray; James Urbaniak), which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 1997. Shot on Super 16 in Williamsburg, the film captured the scent of the 1950's noir genre in unparalleled unique fashion and flair through the vein of time-travel, feeling stuck and reminiscing about the future. Her next feature film, Stephanie Daley, was developed at the Sundance Lab and starred Academy Award Winner Tilda Swinton and Amber Tamblyn in lead roles; the film portrayed themes of trauma, pregnancy and the search for truth fueled by heavy emotions and performances which followed suit. Timothy Hutton, Denis O'Hare, Melissa Leo and Jim Gaffigan support the storyline in masterful and different ways. Hilary won the Waldo Scott Screenplay Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and Best Director at the Milan International Film Festival; Stephanie Daley was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, while Tamblyn was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her gripping performance as the title character. Hilary then adapted Jane Mendelsohn's novel Innocence into a feature film of the same name, which starred Kelly Reilly, Sophie Lane Curtis, Sarita Choudhury and delved into the teen horror, vampire fiction genre. Her latest film, South Mountain, is a poetic expanse on life, liberty and morality through lens of masterful performances by Talia Balsam, Scott Cohen and Andrus Nichols. She worked with “Sticky Fingers” collaborator, cinematographer and husband, Ethan Mass, on the project, and displayed the craft she has continued to execute with charm throughout her illustrious career. She is Professor of Professional Practice in Film at Columbia University. In our conversation, we discussed shooting on film; practical considerations in distribution; and directing some of the best actors of all time.Opening Credits: Delay 77 - Nothing at All; Closing Credits: HoliznaCC0 - The Dull Blade Of Repetition
This season we're taking a turn about the nineties: period dramas in the era of capri pants and youth rebellion. In Episode 3 we're taking a deep dive into Gillian Armstrong's 1994 classic, Little Women. We're talking seductive oranges, cheeky pranksters, queer icons, and spilling the tea of some of our own darkest moments of sibling rivalry.
Daniel and David head back to 1899 (via 1979) to discuss Gillian Armstrong's incredibly assured and highly entertaining debut film, My Brilliant Career. For added authenticity, David's audio sounds like it could have been recorded in 1899. Please enjoy.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2l96tocp Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com A new type of hepatitis has been contracted by 16 children in the North. Cineál nua heipitítis tolgtha ag 16 leanbh sa Tuaisceart. Health authorities in the North have confirmed that sixteen children have contracted a new form of hepatitis, the causes of which are still unknown. Tá sé deimhnithe ag na húdaráis sláinte sa Tuaisceart go bhfuil cineál nua heipitítis nach fios fós cad is siocair leis tolgtha ag sé pháiste dhéag ansin. Dr Michael McBride, Chief Medical Officer for the North, said that "some of the children had to undergo specialist medical treatment in other parts of the UK and one had to undergo a liver transplant." Thug Príomhoifigeach Leighis an Tuaiscirt an Dr Michael McBride le fios go mb'éigean "sainchóireáil leighis a chur i gcodanna eile den Ríocht Aontaithe ar roinnt de na páistí agus go mb'éigean aistriú ae a dhéanamh ar dhuine acu." Health authorities in the north are urging parents to be alert to the symptoms of the disease - such as jaundice and conjunctivitis - and to seek emergency medical treatment, if necessary. Tá na húdaráis sláinte ó thuaidh ag achainí ar thuismitheoirí a bheith san airdeall ar chomharthaí sóirt an ghalair - buíochan agus bánú súl, cuir i gcás - agus cóir leighis éigeandála a iarraidh, más gá. People are also advised to be careful about hygiene in general, washing their hands regularly and so on. Táthar ag moladh do dhaoine freisin a bheith cúramach faoi chúrsaí sláinteachais trí chéile, a lámha a ní go rialta agus mar sin de. It is reported that children in more than twenty countries around the world have contracted the new form of hepatitis and that most of them are children under the age of five. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil an cineál nua heipitítis tolgtha ag leanaí i mbreis agus fiche tír ar fud an domhain agus gur leanaí faoi chúig bliana d'aois a bhformhór. The Health Protection Surveillance Center has already reported that eight children in the Republic have contracted the disease. Tá sé tugtha le fios cheana ag an Lárionad Faire um Chosaint Sláinte go bhfuil an galar tolgtha ag ochtar páistí sa Phoblacht. These, it was said, were children under the age of twelve, all of whom had to be hospitalized. Leanaí faoi dhá bhliain déag iad seo, a dúradh, agus b'éigean iad ar fad a chur in ospidéil. One of them died and another was given a new liver. Bhásaigh duine acu agus tugadh ae nua do dhuine eile. Dr Gillian Armstrong from the Northern Public Health Agency said the disease was still being eradicated. Dúirt an Dr Gillian Armstrong ón nGníomhaireacht um Shláinte Phoiblí sa Tuaisceart go bhfuiltear fós ag iarraidh an galar a chur le bonn. It is being questioned, she said, whether it could have anything to do with childhood adrenavirus or young people's environment, such as toxins in the air. Táthar ag fiosrú, a dúirt sí, an bhféadfadh aon bhaint a bheith aige le hadanaivíreas a bhíonn ar leanaí go minic nó le le timpeallacht na ndaoine óga, leithéidí tocsainí san aer. She confirmed that none of the children struck ill in the North had Covid-19 and that none had received the vaccine. Dhearbhaigh sí nach raibh covid 19 ar aon duine de na leanaí a buaileadh tinn sa Tuaisceart agus nach raibh an vacsaín faighte ag aon duine acu.
We found out that 'how to start cloud computing' is a burning issue! We started a meetup in Belfast with our friends Matt Coulter, Gillian Armstrong, Gillian McCann, and Gareth Gilmore. It is called BelfAWSt. And it is a community Meetup in Belfast, to talk about all things AWS! We saw from looking at the topics and listening to the conversations that there is a need for guidance on how to get started! How do you set up your account? And how do you learn? Or build your career? Who do you reach out to? And when you are more familiar with the basics, what can you leverage to build higher order systems and solutions? Questions on certifications came up a lot. Are they valuable? What workshops can guide me through the Getting Started phase? How do you become part of the community to help me and my organisation? It is daunting when you look up aws.com and there is an ocean of stuff on the website. If you sign up, pick something relatively straightforward and follow a quick lab. It's an iterative process. 'Eat the elephant, one bite at a time'. The pathways of education and certification have been broadened to meet different user needs. 'Cloud Practitioner' is great for somebody getting started, who wants to understand what capabilities are available. When you get to associate and professional, the specialist certifications are more in depth with a bigger learning curve. From an educational track point of view, what I used was 'A Cloud Guru'. More recently, 'Skill Builder' has become freely available. Udemy courses are really good. So there's never been a better time to learn about the Cloud and AWS. And other Cloud Providers have similar educational materials. But the stuff that's freely available now is just fantastic. T he thing I really like is that they have foundational white papers. There's a white paper on well-architected. And there's 'secure by design', principles of cloud and elasticity and ephemeral behavioural stuff. So there's four or five core white papers that are worth reading. And you can tell the people who don't understand those concepts, because everything is built upon them. If you attempt a certification, and you read those white papers, it's still beneficial. The PDFs are free and you can download them. It gives you shared understanding across teams. So if you're a manager, not hands on or technical you will have the vocabulary to have a conversation with your team. It could be about scale or services. But it allows you to be better informed and have greater situational awareness. With certifications, you can go deep and broad on a lot of the topics. But real learning happens when you go and do something. Get into a workshop. Go and follow an AWS workshop or whatever cloud provider workshop applies to you. That's how stuff tends to stick with me. The developer advocates and AWS have been great at codifying their getting started workshops. Workshops that were only available at re:Invent/conferences are now freely available on AWS.workshops. The community is also good, with AWS heroes, community builders, and developer advocates. And it's actually quite a small community. It's a handful of people who are putting out good content. And it's not that hard to track them down on Twitter. It's worth tapping into that community. The last thing is the whole idea of patterns. Matt Coulter has CDK Patterns. SAM has a bunch of patterns. And there's the Serverlessland.com site. When you codify an architectural pattern, like a CDK pattern, it's a great way to accelerate and get something up and running. But also to look and see how the pattern was put together. It's a brilliant way to learn. You may want to wire capabilities and services together. For example you wire an API gateway with a lambda and store data in DynamoDB. There's a pattern for that. You can see how it's done in a well architected way. That frees up resources to build solutions that deliver value. Patterns like CDK and Serverlessland help. They are built on developer enabling frameworks. Some are built on CDK and some leverage SAM or the serverless framework. They are good to play around with. And to develop your preference to help you in the long run. You don't want to be doing things in the console or coding in raw CloudFormation. It's never too late to start learning. I would argue that the later you do it the better! Because the early stuff is a bit funky. This later tech is more refined and mature.

Directed by Gillian Armstrong and starring Cate Blanchett in the titular role, this is the fictionalized story of a British SOE (Special Operations Executive) operating in Nazi-occupied France in 1942. The character is a composite of several real women who worked as spies for the Allies during this time period. She is sent on missions to deliver packages to the resistance and help blow up a train, all the while searching for her lover who was shot down behind enemy lines. A mix of spy film, biopic, and WWII thriller, this movie tries to do a lot; and between Blanchett and a supporting cast that includes Billy Crudup and Michael Gambon, it is certainly not lacking talent. But can they pull off these three different genres in one? And how well does the film work overall? Join the Danger Close team and find out as we explore our first film featuring the French Resistance in Vichy France!

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And sometimes we're lucky enough to talk to them directly! Today is one of those glorious days. Dan and Conor are joined by Guy Pearce, the incomparable actor who's got a new film coming out in theaters - Memory (April 29th!) - and plenty of accomplished past work to dig into as well. We focus on The Count of Monte Cristo, The Hard Word, and Lockout (a.k.a. Space Jail). Plenty more is touched on in our 25 minutes of Guy Talk™. Pearce explains his disappointment in Gillian Armstrong's Death Defying Acts getting buried by Harvey Weinstein fifteen years ago, gets honest about certain movies he deems his “divorce films,” and highlights other B-Sides he'd encouraged his fans to check out (Ravenous, First Snow).

We are in the final stretch of the podcast series. This week it's another of Cate Blanchett's many titular roles and Charlotte Gray (2001).

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Tricia Aurand of the Beyond the Screenplay podcast helps Shawn celebrate the occasion with a viewing of Gillian Armstrong's 1994 adaptation of Little Women. For many (Tricia included), this is the seminal adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, a reputation Tricia feels is somewhat diminished by the release of Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation. Her and Shawn discuss why the 1994 film is still vital and wonderful, why it's okay for everyone to love and appreciate BOTH versions, and why Christian Bale is the ultimate dreamboat.

We've got a righteously overstuffed episode this week as we look at three (and briefly a fourth) screen adaptations of Lousa May Alcott's Little Women. We start with the 1933 version directed by George Cukor and starring Katharine Hepburn as Jo March. Then we take a glancing blow at the 1949 adaptation before moving on to 1994's version, which was directed by Gillian Armstrong and stars Winona Ryder. Finally we wrap up with the 2019 edition, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan in the Jo March role. Each of these films has something to love, and for all the discussion there's a LOT of agreement. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In our next episode we go traveling with some Foreign Correspondents. First up is a trip to Nicaragua, with 1983's Under Fire. After that we jump to 1997 when we receive a hearty Welcome to Sarajevo. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

Combine this with his willingness to create new musical worlds, working in virtually any medium or genre, well, it’s the perfect alchemy for a film and television music composer.

In the early 80’s Mark began experimenting with electronic music and quickly gained notoriety for his work in the new age genre, the self titled Mark Isham album won a Grammy award and Grammy nominations for the follow up albums Castalia and Tibet. Mark collaborated with the likes of Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock; his Blue Sun album and Miles Remembered: The Silent Way Project and the ARIA award nominated Bittersweet album with Kate Ceberano, are regarded with awe in the jazz world. Mark Isham’s signature trumpet sound is heard on albums of music icons including Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Ziggy Marley, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones, Chris Isaak, and Van Morrison. Mark has scored films for the most acclaimed directors; Robert Altman, Robert Redford, Jodi Foster, Sydney Lumet, Frank Darabont, John Ridley, Gavin O’Conner and Brain De Palma Movie highlights include Oscar-winning movies Crash, A River Runs Through It, Warrior, Judas and the Black Messiah. Along with Golden Globe winning Bobby and The Black Dahlia. Recent TV highlights include Once Upon a Time, American Crime, Little Fires Everywhere (which he garnered Mark's sixth Emmy nomination), Godfather of Harlem and HBO’s The Nevers. Prolific doesn’t even begin to describe Mark’s creative output; Over 400 movies & television series scored, 4 billion $ box office gross of movies scored, created over 200 albums, over 200 nominations and 57 major awards. This is an insight into the mind and process of a musical genius.

Helen Garner sits down with John and Elizabeth McMahon, a distinguished scholar of Australian literature. Helen's novels range from the anti-patriarchy exuberance of Monkey Grip (1977) to the heartbreaking mortality at the heart of The Spare Room (2008). She has also authored a slew of nonfiction, plus screenplays for Jane Campion's Two Friends and Gillian Armstrong's wonderfully Garneresque The Last Days of Chez Nous. After a reading from John's favorite, The Children's Bach, the trio discusses Garner's capacity for cutting and cutting, creating resonant, thought-inducing gaps. Garner connects that taste for excision, perhaps paradoxically, to her tendency to accumulate scraps, bits and pieces of life. She relates her father's restlessness to her own life-total of houses inhabited (27; do you think that's lot, dear listeners?). “Why wouldn't I write about households?” asks Helen, “They're just so endlessly interesting.” Who shaped her writing? Raymond Carver: packed with power, but the pages white with omissions and excisions. Helen offers an anecdote about her own pruning that ends with her “ankle-deep in adverbs.” That's how to escape the “fat writing” that stems for distrust of the reader. She thoughtfully compares the practical virtues of keeping notebooks for the “music” of everyday life to the nightly process of diary-writing (more analytical). John raises the question of pervasive musical metaphors in Helen's writing, and she reports her passion for “boring pieces” and the “formal” side of Bach, which makes a listener feel that there is such a thing as meaning. “There's something about shaping a sentence, too, which can be musical.” A deep Garner insight: “I find chaos quite frightening, actually, I feel an urge to impose order.” You can see an image of one of Helen's treats above: she confessed to that particular indulgence off-air. Her other choice may surprise you–John's never had one! Which certainly could not be said of martinis….. Mentioned in the Episode Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping (the fixed people and the wandering people), Gilead, Home, The West Wing (yes, the TV show! Helen watched it during lockdown when she couldn't bear fiction…) Raymond Carver‘s minimalist fiction (his first collection) Tess Gallagher (as writer and as Carver's editor) Willa Cather, “The Novel Démeublé” (1922; on how to un-furnish fiction, leaving it an empty room) Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast Sigmund Freud on “the day's residue” (e.g. in The Interpretation of Dreams, 1900) George Eliot, Quarry for Middlemarch Aarthi Vadde is Associate Professor of English at Duke University.
