In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with acclaimed author Farzana Doctor about her stunning novel, The Beauty of Us (ECW Press, 2024). They also talk about genre hopping, book promotion, avoiding burnout (and sometimes not), and literary community. More About The Beauty of Us : September 1984, Thornton College private school. After 15-year-old Zahabiya's father remarries, she can't wait to leave home and convinces him to send her away to boarding school. But will she fit in? She joins a clique of smart students but isn't sure if she measures up or how to read the mixed messages from a guy she's crushing on. Seventeen-year-old Leesa has been at Thornton since middle school after her parents' messy divorce. She's been climbing the school's social ladder with equal measures of meanness and manipulation. She's also guarding a big secret that she has to work overtime to keep from her friends. Fresh out of university, this is Nahla's first real teaching job, and she's drowning. She has her distractions though: the flirty art teacher and a cryptic notebook left behind by her deceased predecessor, Mademoiselle Leblanc. Zahabiya and her friends — all racialized girls and victims of Leesa's bullying — uncover Leesa's secret. But can they help Leesa? Nahla, too, is embroiled in her own mystery, assisted by Mademoiselle Leblanc's ghost. Each is indelibly changed by what they learn. Masterfully crafted, The Beauty of Us is a gripping novel about surviving hardship, the power of friendship, and growing up. More about Farzana Doctor: Farzana Doctor is a Tkaronto-based author, activist and psychotherapist. She's written four critically acclaimed lit-fic novels, Stealing Nasreen, Six Metres of Pavement, All Inclusive, and Seven, a poetry collection, You Still Look The Same and a self- and community care workbook for helpers and activists, 52 Weeks to a Sweeter Life.

Ralph welcomes Constitutional law expert Bruce Fein to analyze Congress' abdication of power in the face of President Trump and Elon Musk's actions to dismantle the federal government, and whether any of it is legal. Then, Ralph is joined by Norman Solomon from RootsAction to discuss the new Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin, and whether we should be optimistic about his agenda for the Democrats.Bruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.What I think shows the clear (what I would call malignant) intent, is even though he has Republican majorities in the House and the Senate, he's never contemplated going back to Congress and saying, "Hey, I want you to do X. I want you to do Y. We need to do this in the proper way."Bruce Fein[Trump's] boogeyman is DEI. So he claims that a crash between a helicopter and airplane in Washington, D.C. is a DEI problem. Of course, it's amazing that somebody who has such contempt for meritocracy with his own cabinet appointments suddenly blames, “Oh, well, DEI, it's watering down standards.” Well, he doesn't have any standards himself, so it's kind of ironic there.Bruce FeinImpeachment is not a criminal prosecution. Impeachment is what Benjamin Franklin at the Constitutional Convention said— it's the civilized substitute for tyrannicide…And if you're impeached, it's because you have undertaken attempts to subvert the Constitution so the people no longer view you as a trustworthy steward of our liberties and the rule of law. That's what it is. You don't go to Siberia, you don't go to the guillotine, that's it. And there have been, of course, many federal judges (probably as many as a dozen) who've been impeached, removed from office. And you know what? They still survive. There's not a graveyard of them…So this idea that impeachment is somehow some enormous volcanic eruption on the landscape is totally misleading and wrong.Bruce FeinThere are two informal checkpoints I want to run by you. [Trump] is afraid of the stock market collapsing—and it could well collapse because chaos is the thing that really gets investors and big institutional investors scared. And the second thing he's afraid of is a plunge in the polls, including among Trump voters who represent families that have the same necessities for their children and their neighborhood as liberal families.Ralph NaderNorman Solomon is co-founder of RootsAction.org and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of War Made Easy, Made Love, Got War, and his newest book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.Especially when there's not a Democrat in the White House, the leader of the Democratic Party de facto is often the chair of the Democratic National Committee. And we now, of course, have the Democrats in minority in the House and the Senate. Biden's out of there in the White House. And so, really, it falls to the chair of the DNC to ostensibly at least give direction to the Democratic Party. And we've suffered for the last four years under Jamie Harrison as chair of the DNC, who basically did whatever Biden told him to do, and Biden told him to just praise President Biden. And we saw the result, the enabling process from the DNC was just a disaster for the Democratic Party and the country.Norman SolomonLiterally and figuratively in a sense, there needs to be a tearing down of the walls that have been surrounding the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Activists (thousands of us, really, in recent years) have discovered and rediscovered that the DNC is like a fortress. They have the moat, the drawbridge is locked, and we can't even get inside to have a word in edgewise compared to the lobbyists and those who are running the DNC. This is really just remarkable, how difficult it has been for strong Democratic Party activists, if they're not on the DNC (and even if they are, quite often) to get a word in edgewise for the corporate-oriented so-called leadership of the DNC. That might change now.Norman SolomonAlfred Bridi is a U.S. immigration attorney associated with the law firm Scale LLP who specializes in employment- and family-based immigration law. Prior to joining Scale LLP, he practiced law at major international law firms and also worked with leading international organizations on global migration and transparency issues.These executive orders and these executive actions have really created a tension in terms of enforcement officials trying to understand what these mean; in terms of the judiciary and and legal activists contesting a lot of the foundations and the arguments made; in terms of our legal system and our constitutional rights; and I think more than anything, they have had a signaling effect to ordinary Americans and immigrant populations that, “You're not welcome here, and we are going to come after you.” And I think the difference that we've seen is a broadening of the enforcement net and a removal of any sort of refinement or targeting. We've seen American citizens and military veterans being arrested and detained. We've seen Indigenous people being detained. And it's created a sense of terror and panic across the country that I feel is absolutely deliberate, and in line with the campaign promises of this new administration.Alfred BridiNews 2/5/251. The New York Times reports President Trump has ousted Rohit Chopra, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau who was “known for his aggressive enforcement and expansion of consumer protection laws.” During his tenure, Chopra cracked down on junk fees, particularly bank overdraft fees, and sought to remove medical debt from individuals' credit histories. As the Times notes, Chopra “improbably hung on for nearly two weeks [after Trump took office, and]…used that time to impose a $2 million fine on a money transmitter and release reports on auto lending costs, specialty credit reporting companies and rent payment data.” In his letter of resignation, Chopra wrote “With so much power concentrated in the hands of a few, agencies like the C.F.P.B. have never been more critical,” and “I hope that the CFPB will continue to be a pillar of restoring and advancing economic liberty in America.”2. In more Trump administration staffing news, AP reports the Senate Finance Committee voted 13-14 along party lines Tuesday to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician by trade and member of the committee who expressed grave concern over Kennedy's stances on vaccines and other health-related matters, said during the hearings “Your past, undermining confidence in vaccines with unfounded or misleading arguments, concerns me.” Ultimately however, Cassidy voted “aye.” Kennedy's nomination will now advance to the full Senate, where the GOP holds a comfortable majority thus almost ensuring his confirmation.3. Speaking of Trump and health, CBS is out with an update on the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio railroad disaster. According to this report, Vice President JD Vance visited the crash site on February 3rd and vowed that the administration would hold Norfolk Southern accountable for “unfilled promises of settlement money and training centers.” That same day, residents of East Palestine filed a lawsuit alleging that Norfolk Southern's actions resulted in the wrongful death of seven people, including a one-week-old baby.4. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has successfully negotiated a month-long delay of Trump's proposed 25% tariffs. According to CNN, the deal reached between the two North American heads of state includes Mexico deploying 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border to help stem the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., while Trump has reportedly agreed to help end the deluge of American guns moving South. In her regular Monday morning press conference, Sheinbaum said “For humanitarian reasons, we must help the United States address its fentanyl consumption crisis, which is leading to overdose deaths.” Sheinbaum has been roundly praised for her ability to both stand up to and placate Trump. Reuters quoted Jorge Guajardo, a former Mexican ambassador to China and member of the opposition Partido Acción Nacional or PAN party, who had to admit “President Sheinbaum played it…Masterfully.”5. Democracy Now! reports a group of Quaker congregations have filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to the Trump administration's order “allowing federal agents to raid…schools, hospitals, shelters and places of worship.” This lawsuit alleges that “The very threat of [such raids] deters congregants from attending services, especially members of immigrant communities,” and that therefore this order infringes upon the Constitutional “guarantee of religious liberty.” The Quakers have historically been among the most progressive Christian sects, having been leaders in the fight to abolish slavery and to oppose war.6. Reese Gorman of NOTUS reports that so far approximately 24,000 federal employees have accepted Elon Musk's proposed “buyout,” meaning they will leave their jobs and should receive eight months of severance pay. This purge of the federal workforce has been among the most prominent initiatives of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Less prominently touted however is what the administration plans to do once these employees have been purged. Recent comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Bloomberg however are enlightening. Rubio, commenting on the “potential reorganization” of the Agency for International Development or USAID, indicated that the reduction in the size of the workforce would be paired with greater use of private contractors. Most likely this means farming out government services to Trump lackeys, cronies, and assorted grifters – all on the taxpayers' dime.7. Front and center in combatting Musk's quiet coup is Public Citizen. On Monday, the public interest watchdog announced they are suing the Treasury Department for its “unlawful disclosure of personal & financial information to Elon Musk's DOGE.” Their legal complaint, filed alongside the Alliance for Retired Americans, the Association of Federal Government Employees and the SEIU, reads, in part, “The scale of the intrusion into individuals' privacy is massive and unprecedented. Millions of people cannot avoid engaging in financial transactionswith the federal government and, therefore, cannot avoid having their sensitivepersonal and financial information maintained in government records. SecretaryBessent's action granting DOGE-affiliated individuals full, continuous, and ongoingaccess to that information for an unspecified period of time means that retirees,taxpayers, federal employees, companies, and other individuals from all walks of life have no assurance that their information will receive the protection that federal law affords.”8. Turning to the Middle East, Drop Site News reports “Over 100 journalists…sent a letter to Egyptian authorities on Sunday requesting access to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing.” CNN, NBC, NPR, CBS, ABC, AP, Reuters, BBC, Sky News, the Financial Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times France 24, Le Monde, El Pais, and others, including Drop Site itself, are signatories on this letter. The letter states “We understand that the situation is fluid regarding the border crossing, but we ask that permission for journalists to cross the Rafah border be at the forefront of the…No international journalists have been able to access Gaza without an Israeli military escort since the war began in October 2023. We request that permission be granted on an expedited basis while Phase 1 of the ceasefire is still in effect.” As Drop Site notes, “Egypt has not allowed journalists to cross Rafah into Gaza since 2013, when Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power in Egypt in a military coup.” This has meant all journalistic access to Gaza must go through Israel.9. Our last two stories have to do with the Democrats. On February 1st, Ken Martin was elected the new chair of the Democratic National Committee. Martin previously led the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and the Association of State Democratic Parties, per POLITICO. WPR reports Martin's victory was decisive at 246.5 out of 428 votes; the second-place finisher, Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, won only 134.5 votes despite endorsements from House and Senate Minority Leaders Jeffries and Schumer, among many other high-profile elected Democrats, per the Hill. Other candidates included Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign manager Faiz Shakir, though he entered late and without substantial backing. Martin's reputation is mixed, with one DNC member telling POLITICO, “he's a knife-fighter.” Perhaps that is what the party needs to turn things around.10. Finally, Variety reports former President Biden has signed with the Creative Arts Agency, or CAA, one of the premier talent agencies in Hollywood. CAA also represents Barack and Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, per the BBC. With the White House once again occupied by a creature of showbusiness, the symbiotic relationship between politics, media and entertainment has never been clearer. In the words of George Carlin, “It's a big club, and you ain't in it.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The Trump administration secured more victories over the weekend, starting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio's trip to Panama. Rubio was able to ensure that Panama will leave the Chinese belt and road initiative. Belt and road is a massive infrastructure plan that would boost China's global influence within the participating countries. After Panama's exit, will other participating countries be inclined to leave the initiative? Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, and it didn't take long for Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum to concede. President Sheinbaum paused Mexico's retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. and pledged to send 10,000 troops to the border to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration into the united States. It was a brilliant use of leverage and opened up an opportunity to make a deal. Now the question is what will Canada do? Is the EU next to be targeted by Trump tariffs? Joe Grogan joins me to discuss innovation and MAHA in our current U.S. healthcare system. GLP 1's have opened up an opportunity to give access to and make prescription drugs more affordable.

The church's unity is the organic outworking of the gospel applied. It revolutionizes our relationships, especially in the church. The historically pressing issue that Paul deals with in Romans 14 has to do with certain Christian consciences being bound to the law of Moses and the resulting challenges that presents in the New Covenant church. In the opening of Romans 15, Paul summarizes his address on these matters of conscience. His primary burden is that Christ would be central in the church. To this end, he urges the church to prioritize apprehending and applying the beauty and glory of Christ in the gospel. Masterfully, he redirects both the “weak” and “strong” in conscience to the perfect law and liberty that is ours in Christ. Christians may not be under the law of Moses, but they certainly are under the law of Christ.

The Path to Financial Freedom: Structuring Your Assets for Maximum Benefit   Selecting the Right Business Structure for Tax Optimization and Asset Protection   Business expert and Thought Leader, Randolph Love III, recently delivered an insightful lecture on strategic financial planning at The Path to Indemnity Conference in Galveston, Texas. Like a chess grandmaster contemplating moves that may not pay dividends for several turns, Love outlined farsighted strategies for structuring one's assets and revenue streams to minimize taxation and leverage the full power of today's financial instruments.   Love explained how the appropriate business structure can serve as a bulwark protecting both current income and retirement savings from the persisting erosion of taxes. Just as a sturdy house built upon rock will withstand flooding and winds that would damage lesser structures, fortifying your finances with vehicles like LLCs, holding companies, and family partnerships can shelter you from the gusts and swells of our complex tax code.   Yet, such foresight bears sweeter fruits than merely weathering the taxman's storm. Masterfully optimized accounts can compound gains over decades to provide a bountiful harvest when you are ready to reap what you have sown in your golden years. While less protected investments wither on the vine through annual taxation, properly structured accounts grow year after year, like a towering oak that starts as a sprout but over time develops a massive trunk and expansive canopy.   The Power of Permanent Life Insurance and Index Funds   At the core of Love's proposals is the creative use of permanent life insurance policies with indexed growth options. He suggests these instruments can offer the best of both worlds—the reliable foundation of whole life insurance combined with the growth potential of market-based index funds. Such policies enable you to restructure your assets to minimize taxes while still pursuing the gains offered by stocks and bonds.   This hybrid approach is like crossing a sturdy pack mule with a prize-winning racehorse. The mule provides steady, sure-footed reliability and strength, while the racehorse injects speed, agility, and higher performance. Together, they can climb higher and faster while avoiding false summits and dangerous cliffs. Structuring part of your portfolio with indexed permanent life insurance similarly weds security with growth.   The Keys to Unlocking True Financial Freedom   Love encourages a counterintuitive, outside-the-box philosophy when it comes to personal finance. Rather than assuming higher taxes and lower returns are inevitable in retirement, he urges investors to transcend traditional obstacles through shrewd structuring. Just as pioneering explorers found unexpected passages across forbidding mountain ranges, opening routes for countless followers, Love seeks to forge new trails to protect and maximize assets.   Just as the great inventors of history, from Edison to Jobs, challenged conventions and transformed our world with visionary insights, Love dares us to reimagine what is possible with our finances. While others passively accept taxation as an implacable force of nature, Love calls us to actively defend our hard-earned gains from its slow erosion. By taking full advantage of today's financial instruments, we can craft our own financial destiny and achieve true independence.   Watch the FULL VIDEO of our conversation HERE.   For More Info Text “NoTax24” to 904-822-4262   About The Speaker…   Randolph Love III, is the Founder and President of, ShieldWolf Strongholds, a Fractional CFO company that specializes in providing Business and Franchise Owners with all of the perks and benefits of having a full time Chief Financial Officer and Business Succession Planner, but for a fraction of the price.  He is a Partner and Consultant with The Franchise Consulting Company; the largest American owned franchise consulting company in the world.

There were few experienced swimmers among over 1,300 Lower East Side residents who boarded the General Slocum on June 15, 1904. It shouldn't have mattered, since the steamship was chartered only for a languid excursion from Manhattan to Long Island Sound. But a fire erupted minutes into the trip, forcing hundreds of terrified passengers into the water. By the time the captain found a safe shore for landing, 1,021 had perished.  "Ship Ablaze: The Tragedy of the Steamboat General Slocum" draws on firsthand accounts to examine why the death toll was so high and how the city responded. Masterfully capturing both the horror of the event and the heroism of men, women, and children who faced crumbling life jackets and inaccessible lifeboats as the inferno quickly spread, historian Edward T. O'Donnell brings to life a bygone community while honoring the victims of that forgotten day.

On a noteworthy Wednesday evening in Florida, former President Donald Trump took centre stage at a compellingly packed rally in Hialeah, simultaneously outshining his Republican counterparts embroiled in a GOP debate happening in Miami. Trump firmly rebutted insinuations that he lacked the 'courage' to engage in the third debate. He said: 'Picture this, I'm speaking to TENS OF THOUSANDS of folks right here and it's broadcast live…it's significantly more challenging than a simple debate!', much to the delight of his spirited audience. He further made an appeal to the Republican power structure to cease investing their efforts and resources into candidates who, clearly, stood no chance of emerging victorious. A glance at the current scenario elucidates Trump's supremacy in his party's primary race in Florida, the hometown of Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla, where he is ahead by an unparalleled 39 points according to The University of Northern Florida's Public Opinion Research Lab. On the national front, Trump seems ready to dominate the upcoming general election against Joe Biden. A fresh poll conducted by the mainstream media, most notably The New York Times, suggests that Trump has an edge over Biden in five out of six pendulum states – a meaningful lead that could potentially translate into more than 300 Electoral College votes in favor of Trump in the 2024 election. In his distinct style, Trump stated, 'Our nation is on a downward spiral, and this is a fact known and acknowledged by everyone, including you and me, as much as I regret having to say it.' This statement was his response to the critique of the country's declining state under Biden's leadership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes to modernizing a family business, Carla Ejaz is an expert. Masterfully, she took everything wonderful and enduring about her father's company – and successfully streamlined it for today's customers. Carla Ejaz is the Co-owner, Director of Business Development, and Vice President of Sales at Lasting Impressions Inc, a promotional products company that has placed in the top 8% of promotional distributors nationally. Carla specializes in seasonal trends and corporate incentive programs, working with Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, mid-sized manufacturers, and even their neighborhood bar and grill. Lasting Impressions, Inc was founded in 1976 by Carla's father Mark Dabiero. Currently, the company resides in a 50,000 square feet facility located in Canton, Michigan equipped with screen printing and embroidery machines. Printing of textiles is done in-house which enables them to control the print quality. They offer a wide variety of options which keep up with the latest in the retail market including: jumbo print, simulated processes, liquid metal, glitter & transparent inks, rhinestone transfers, laser printing on wearables and distressed appliqués!  Lessons in modernization In any family business, there is a pivotal point where you must either stick to what you know – or take the risky, extraordinary leap into the unknown. When faced with respecting tradition or modernizing, Carla Ejaz chose…both.  Carla Ejaz is enthusiastic about keeping up with the latest trends in the corporate and retail world. While consistently honoring her father's legacy, Carla took drastic steps to make Lasting Impressions products more accessible online, and it paid off big time. Even before the pandemic, Carla spent years working closely with sales and marketing to ensure that online ordering was easy, seamless, and exceptional.  Noticing early on that other companies were not offering easy ordering, Carla saw an opportunity for growth. She encouraged her Co-founders to invest in online marketing, and enjoyed the success that it brought when customers loved it! Business partners make your business better When her father announced his retirement, Carla decided she wanted in. So did her siblings – but that's a great thing. Rather than the common stories of family feuds and power struggles, the Dabiero family makes big decisions together.  Carla shares that they're so successful because they trust one another, focus on their strengths, and stay in their lane. She insists that they would not have been so successful at working together if they tried to overpower one another.  Enjoy this episode of The Business of You – if you have a family business, this will hit close to home! Quotes “I am a people person. I find it easy to talk to people, and I love networking. I am always learning more about other people, companies, and cultures.” “We grew up working around the shop, since we could walk. All of us have done every job in that business – from filing to production to catalogs to customer service. I couldn't give you my start date, because I've always worked here.” “He always knew he wanted to retire at some point. He had communicated with all of us that we would have the first option to buy the company. We all wanted to have our hand in the business in some way!” “You want to grow and change with the times, you don't want to become stagnant. We want to keep up with trends and follow changes that are happening with the world.” “It wasn't common for distributors to have this robust online website. That's something we really wanted to do!” “We were able to implement that on-demand option that was really lacking in our industry.” “I absolutely love having business partners. There's 5 of us, and we all have our roles within the company. We all stay in our lane. I think that's why we've been able to grow like we have.” “I think a challenge if someone is a sole owner of a company is trying to work on your business instead of in your business, that's a challenge.” Links mentioned in this episode: Check out the official website for Lasting Impressions at https://www.liteam.com  Connect with Carla on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/carla-l-dabiero-ejaz-20baa936 

Unwavering Loyalty. That is what is required at a time deep convictions on God's promises to Israel are far and few between. We stand with the Nation of Israel and Jewish people everywhere. The one through whom all things were and for whom all things were made came in Jewish flesh and will return as the Jewish King. As Gentiles it is our prerogative to stand with and for God's nation, regardless of what may come as a result. Masterfully so, brothers Asad Robinson, Rob Barnett, and Abimbola Daramola showed us through Matthew 25 that how we treat the least of Jesus's jewish brothers is how we treat him. Dig down past all the rubble of public opinion and the flood of dissipation in our day, and build your house upon the foundation of the Jewish nation.

Today's guests are the epitome of what this podcast is all about: CREATIVE REVOLUTIONARY SUPERSTARS… who are just as hard on themselves as the rest of us! CJ Baran & Benjamin Romans created the show CAGES – an indescribable “genre-busting game changer” (LA Times) that left audiences in awe at its premiere… MYSELF INCLUDED! Masterfully weaving state-of-the-art video and animation with live performance and original songs that pulse with an addictive pop energy, CAGES pulls out all the stops to conjure a rock opera musical for the modern age.  These two creative overachievers wrote the story, the music, directed, and choreographed the piece – CJ even played the lead!  And just like any creative expression, the show started as an itty-bitty baby idea that paid off big time when they decided they would never settle for less than the art they want to see. ← not easy when you are creating a dystopian, B&W gothic world in a live, stage performance! When I invited CJ to the show, he wrote: My entire life has been living in the void between creating art that I believe will move people while also trying to make a living at it. ← perhaps the most Brian Breaks Character thing anyone has ever said! I couldn't be more delighted to share this episode with you: I just know you'll love hearing from these two fiercely committed, honest, and authentic artists who make FUTURE THEATRE.   Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Brian Breaks Character!   If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave an honest review. Your review helps boost the show and gives us the chance to help more creatives get out of suffering for their art and into action.

Welcome to a bonus episode of ArtCurious featuring my interview with Paul Fisher about his latest book, The Grand Affair: John Singer Sargent in His World. An iconic American artist, John Singer Sargent was also a complicated and mysterious man. While presenting himself as a reserved, buttoned-up businessman, he scandalized viewers on both sides of the Atlantic with the frankness and sensuality of his work. He charmed the possessors of new money and old, while reserving his greatest sympathies for Bedouins, Spanish dancers, and the gondoliers of Venice. At the height of his renown in Britain and America, he quit his lucrative portrait-painting career to concentrate on allegorical murals with religious themes—and on nude drawings of male models that he kept to himself and that were left undiscovered until after Sargent's death.  In his groundbreaking new biography, the scholar Paul Fisher offers a vivid life of the buttoned-up artist and his unbuttoned work. Sargent's nervy, edgy portraits exposed illicit or dark feelings in himself and his sitters—feelings that London, Paris, and New York high society was fascinated by yet kept at bay. Masterfully researched and stunningly written, The Grand Affair brings back to life one of our most beloved artists and solidifies Fisher as a master of the genre.
