The Oceans and the Stars: A Sea Story, A War Story, A Love Story (A Novel) Mark Helprin belongs to no literary school, movement, tendency, or trend. As many have observed, and as Time Magazine has phrased it, “He lights his own way.” His three collections of short stories (A Dove of the East and Other Stories, Ellis Island and Other Stories, and The Pacific and Other Stories), seven novels (Refiner's Fire, Winter's Tale, A Soldier of the Great War, Memoir From Antproof Case, Freddy and Fredericka, In Sunlight and In Shadow, and Paris in the Present Tense), and three children's books (Swan Lake, A City in Winter, and The Veil of Snows, all illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg), speak eloquently for themselves and are remarkable throughout, for the sustained beauty and power of their language. Helprin's academic training, military service, decades of journalism, and involvement in politics and statesmanship as an obligation of citizenship, although secondary at best, have gained some attention nonetheless. Translated into a score of languages, his books include A Dove of the East & Other Stories, Refiner's Fire, Ellis Island & Other Stories, Winter's Tale, Swan Lake (with illustrations by Chris Van Allsburg), A Soldier of the Great War, Memoir from Antproof Case, A City in Winter, and The Veil of Snows (both with illustrations by Chris Van Allsburg), The Pacific & Other Stories, Freddy and Fredericka, Digital Barbarism, In Sunlight and in Shadow, A Kingdom Far and Clear, and Paris in the Present Tense.

Start each day after waking with some movement (IN SUNLIGHT). A few minutes in the morning is all the body needs in order to get it going for the day. Foam rolling or some air squats are a good example. Expose yourself to bright light, 10,000 LUX or more within the first 30 minutes of waking each morning. This can be getting out into sunlight. Implement a time-restricted eating window and eat meals every 3-4 hours and try to not to snack throughout the day as much. + Fast 3 hours before sleep Bedroom Etiquette: Sleep in complete darkness. I mean total darkness! Remove all electronics from the bedroom while sleeping. + Correct for outside noise during sleep, by using a pink or white noise device or app to help ensure a deeper and more restful night of sleep. White noise is a consistent type of noise that sounds like a fan, and pink noise sounds mimic more calming sounds such as running water or waves. House Adjustments: Lower the temperature in your home and bedroom 1-2 hours before bedtime to around 70 degrees. + Lower the volume of your TV or play soothing music at night. As it calms the mind down, and then the body will typically follow. Block blue and green light 1-2 hours before bedtime. Use glasses or change the lighting in your home around bedtime. Train the body to get up and go when first waking up. Do not lay in bed and hit the snooze button 5-10 times, as that is a sign that the body needs more sleep. If it's time to get up, tell yourself it is time to get up and do it! + Turn on energizing music in the morning to help wake yourself up. However, do not use loud alarm clocks to wake up. Stand more during daylight hours - even just 30 more minutes than what a person currently does. Or invest in a standing desk or an under the desk bike or treadmill to help reach this goal. Stop Exercising at least 4 hours before bed. Cut all caffeine out after 2 p.m. each day. Ideally before 12 p.m. Sleep on your side and use a pillow between your legs to make sure you stay in that position for most of the night. FUn fact - sleeping on your left side helps relieve heart burn and keeps air-ways open. Stay in bed if you find yourself waking up during the middle of the night. Now, this tip goes against what many preach, but instead of getting up, try some progressive muscle relaxation instead. Go through just 5 minutes of it, and I bet you will be able to fall back asleep. Keep a sleep diary and journal in it before bed. Examples of what you can write about include 5 good things that happened to you that day, list the 5 most important tasks to complete the next day or just free write or brain dump for 5 minutes.

Mark Helprin is a man without a genre. He belongs to no literary school or movement. His books are not adventure stories or mysteries or thrillers or science fiction or fantasy or magical realism, yet elements of each of those can be found between the pages of his many novels. Which include A Dove of the East & Other Stories, Refiners Fire, Winters Tale (a classic), A Soldier of the Great War and the marvelous trilogy Swan Lake, A City in Winter and the Veil of Snows, collected in one beautiful volume A Kingdom Far and Clear and many others. He has been published in The New Yorker for a quarter of a century, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The National Review among many other journals and periodicals. His honors and awards are to numerous to mention during this interview. Paris in the Present Tense. Once again, as in Winter’s Tale, In Sunlight and in Shadow, A Kingdom Far and Clear Mark has written a book in which the city is as much a protagonist as any other character. Jules Lacour is a Frenchman, a cellist, a holocaust survivor and a man who agonizes over the loss of his wife Jacqueline. In fact he agonizes over the deaths of almost every deceased friend or acquaintance he has encountered. The book is framed by an epigraph which states this as a kind of credo. Jules wants to die and he wants to die for a couple of reasons. One is because of the loss of his wife, the other is part of a scheme, a scheme that at times is both poignant and downright funny. I mean laugh out loud funny. Another thing that is funny is Jules meeting with his one-time psychiatrist. (At least I think it is one time) Jules, in his mid-seventies is in terrific physical shape. He runs, he rows in the Seine. He attracts younger women and falls in love regularly. Like many of us do. One such paramour is Elodi, 50 years Jules’ junior and a student, Jules’ student, of the cello. Another story line involves two semi-bumbling detectives who afford some more comedy. The novel celebrates Paris in The Present Tense and we’re all the better for it. Welcome Mark and thanks for joining us today.

-Mark Helprin, whose novels include Winter's Tale, A Soldier of the Great War and Freddy and Fredericka, is a senior fellow of the Claremont Institute.Helprin holds degrees from Harvard College and Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and did postgraduate work at the University of Oxford. He served in the British Merchant Navy, the Israeli infantry, and the Israeli Air Force.In his latest novel, In Sunlight and in Shadow,  he take us to New York in the post war years.  Helprin, who wrote speeches for Bob Dole when he was a Presidential candidate, gives us what some might consider to be an idealize version of the times.In a wide ranging conversation, Helprin and I discuss Mad Men,  The Greatest Generation, irony, sex in the workplace and the power of love and counter culture.My conversation with Mark Helprin:

Three bands make up the painting: a blue sky, pink and grey clouds, the green meadow. A tree at left frames the composition, the central haystack provides a point of focus, a few animals add extra interest, and some exquisite reflections persuade us of the artist’s painterly skills. If we were to follow the thin, flat bayou meandering through the marshland, where would it take us? The distant hills have none of the grandeur or drama expected of landscapes at this period. Even the hand of the artist seems peculiarly absent. We are left with a haystack at the centre of the painting which, on closer examination, is a rather strangely shaped mound. Where, exactly, are we? Marshlands – at the mouth of the Parker River in Ipswich, Massachusetts, or Hoboken in New Jersey, or Southport, Connecticut – held a great fascination for Heade; he produced more than a hundred paintings of the subject. These canvases have various descriptive titles: passing or approaching storms, sudden shower, after the rain, sunrise, sun breaking through, after the rain. Our attention is drawn to the natural forces and meteorological phenomena that shape these environments. Clearly, it was the changing atmospheric conditions and variations in light that attracted the artist. Is this what fascinates us still? Heade began painting salt marshes in about 1858 and continued to paint them for more than four decades, in pairs, thematic groups, or as long series. He worked on marshland subjects intermittently, alternating them with Romantic mountain, tropical, southern or northern landscapes.1 At times, for variety, Heade included duck hunters or their hutches, hayricks or covered haystacks in his marsh scenes – he even created still-life paintings of marsh canvases propped up on trestles.2 Despite all these variants, even with staffage, the best of Heade’s paintings are characterised by a mysterious emptiness. Just as a marsh is a transitional zone between land and water, Heade’s Luminist paintings sit slightly apart from those of the Hudson River School. Like many of his contemporaries, Heade travelled widely: in his early twenties he spent two years in Rome, travelled in Brazil from 1863 to 1864 and his life in the United States was peripatetic. Sunlight and shadow, the Newbury Marshes encapsulates both major European aesthetic traditions: idyllic, light-filled scenes or intense, northern specificity. Looking at Heade’s marsh paintings, those who value stillness may be think of Friedrich’s The Great Preserve c. 1832. Conditions of light in both paintings – twilight in Friedrich’s, the combination of sunlight and shadow in Heade’s – liberate colour from naturalism, contributing an intriguing violet tinge to each scene. Both artists use unnatural colour palettes, and only a few motifs. But like composers, they obtain seemingly endless variations from these notes. In Sunlight and shadow, the Newbury Marshes, Heade makes the ordinary exotic. Lurid colours give the painting a hallucinatory quality, the solitary haystack takes on mystical power, and the deceptive simplicity of the scene makes it seem hyper-real. Here the Sublime verges on the transcendental. Lucina Ward 1 Heade and Church were close friends – Church passed his studio, in a 10th St New York, to Heade – and Church also encouraged his interest in South America. 2 See Gremlin in Studio II c. 1871–75, Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford; for this and others, see Theodore E. Stebbins et al., The life and work of Martin Johnson Heade: a critical analysis and catalogue raisonné, New Haven: Yale University Press, 2000.
