This week on the Infinite Library, we're talking about modern love (as in "modernism", get it?). John's girlfriend Ana joins the Book Boys to talk about Djuna Barnes' classic of lesbian literature. We talk about why this book isn't as well known as its peers, Freud and fascism, and whether or not books are supposed to teach us things. We hope you'll enjoy this discussion. Note: We had some audio issues with this episode. We apologize for the quality here and we're working hard to figure out how to solve these problems for future episodes.

What does the future of the hospitality industry look like? What are the best ways to find work/life balance as a chef and parent? And does Danny have a solid gold car? We're sorting it all out with Chef Jason Vincent in one of our longest episodes yet. With decades of experience leading acclaimed restaurants like Nightwood and Giant, as well as spearheading industry healthcare initiatives, Jason has a wealth of wisdom to share.  This week we're talking: Jason's winding path through some of the city's most lauded kitchens; what the healthcare crisis looks like for both front and back of house staff; whether hazelnuts are over or underrated — and of  course, so much more.

The Founding Five fight a pack of Mole Beetles before investigating the sinkhole in town. Later, visitors from neighboring colonies Zennilia and Nightwood come asking for access to the Goldenblooms store. The Founding Five have to make a choice.

In this episode, translator Laura Radosh introduces us to the fascinating and troubled writer Djuna Barnes.  The journalist, novelist, and artist mixed with everyone from James Joyce to Peggy Guggenheim, and was at the center of Bohemian life in 1920s New York and Paris, though perhaps not quite as much as she would like. Best known (if at all) for her modernist novel “Nightwood,” Djuna once called herself  ''the most famous unknown in the world.''  DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer/host Susan Stone to muse about Djuna and her circle of modernist Dead Ladies.  Find out more about Djuna and her work, and see her polka-dot portrait here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/05/11/podcast-63-djuna-barnes Djuna Barnes intersects with a great number of our previously presented Dead Ladies, including: photographer Berenice Abbott (who took the above mentioned portrait): https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/01/20/podcast-59-berenice-abbott/ and  dadaist Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/10/16/podcast-47-elsa-von-freytag-loringhoven/ Here's the documentary Laura cited where you can see Natalie Barney's Parisian home and garden with its Temple of Friendship: https://youtu.be/ihzoLrUkNoc The documentary we mentioned is “Paris Was a Woman” by Greta Schiller  https://jezebelproductions.org/paris-was-a-woman/ And Will Self's radio segment on “Nightwood” can be found here: https://youtu.be/5cy3-uOTTfE Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

Matt Kelly once challenged me to write a blog post for Bloomsday. Well aware of my great love for Joyce's magnum opus, I accepted the challenge. This year is the 100th anniversary of the publication of the book. To celebrate this event, James Joyce's novel at 100 and the compliance profession, I have decided to do a 5-part podcast series on Ulysses. Over this podcast series, I will highlight some of the books and commentary and tie what Joyce, Dublin, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, together with his mentor Stephen Daedalus, can teach the modern compliance professional. I hope you will join me in the short celebration and trip through Dublin 1904 for the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday. In Part 5, Bloomsday and storytelling.  Resources The Teaching Compliance-James Joyce Ulysses, by James Heffernan The Politicians Who Love Ulysses by Kevin Dettmar “Ulysses” and the Moral Right to Pleasure by Dan Chiasson in the New Yorker The Moral of Ulysses by Charles Cosby Ethics and the Modernist Subject in James Joyce's "Ulysses," Virginia Woolf's "The Waves," and Djuna Barnes's "Nightwood" by AnnKatrin Jonsson The Ethical Reader in Ulysses by Stephen Gilbert

Hey all! In an attempt to catch up (haha, adorable, Jamie) I am stacking a couple of shows with poets. Each of them deserves a whole show, but this will have to do for now!

NEXT WEEK: We'll be doing a POETRY GIVEAWAY in conjunction with Nightwood and moorehype so check in with us!

Get ready for the ultimutt dream team: Dr Sarah Parker (Loughborough) and Dr Hannah Roche (York) share their clever mewsings on queer pets and their keepurrs in this pawesome episode. Although a cat called Winky, a poodle named Basket and Whym Chow, the chow, are clearly the alphas of this episode, other Modernist animals and their human companions feature as well: from Gertrude Stein to Radclyffe Hall to 'Michael Field', we've got the whole pack! We retrieve their literary hisstories to reflect on how ruff the discrepancy between different timelines of human and non-human animal lives can be, but Hannah and Sarah also read furrmidable love poetry for pets, and talk about the pupstar status most of these animals had in their humans' lives. At the tail end of the conversation, we all share some furvourite texts and films. Apparently, I need to watch She-Ra!Texts, people and pets mentioned:Sarah Parker's The Lesbian Muse and Poetic Identity, 1889-1930 (Pickering and Chatto, 2013)Michael Field: Decadent Moderns, edited by Sarah Parker and Ana Parejo Vadillo (Ohio University Press, December 2019)Sarah Parker's “Women Poets and Photography, 1860–1970” (National Portrait Gallery)https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/about/photographs-collection/featured-collections-archive/women-poets-and-photography/ Hannah Roche's The Outside Thing: Modernist Lesbian Romance (Columbia UP, 2019)Gertrude SteinRadclyffe HallDjuna BarnesAlice B.

Which of the authors mentioned are you already familiar with? Do you remember non-human animals featuring in their writing and life?2. Why do you think writing about pets is often classified as ‘whimsical' or in some way less relevant?3. Please read the final scene of Djuna Barnes' novel Nightwood (1928). What function do you think the dog has here?4. What are potential roles that can be ascribed to pets in a queer household? What is problematic about these?5. Please look up Jack Halberstam's work on wildness and compare his position to Donna Harraway's Companion Species Manifesto. You may want to refer to the Queer Lit episode with Jack as well. 6. Do you think queer people have a different relationship to pets? (You may want to consider queer temporality, empathy, and queer childhoods in your response.)

Two poets! You bet. In this episode Jen and Dina talk to debut poets, Ellie Sawatzky (None of this Belongs to Me) and Isabella Wang (Pebble Swing) about their new collections out now with Nightwood editions. There is chatting about going from chapbook to full length collection, paying tribute to poets that came before, and narrative poems. Jen is feeling her feelings and Dina is angry about some stuff and there is one very surprising What Can't You With.

I wasn't really much of a reader until I was turned on to the Harry Potter series, but this was the first book I read before even those ones that made me interested in fantasy, and was ultimately what put me on the path of being a lifelong book lover (Gail Carson Levine also falls under this umbrella as another kickass fairytale fantasy writer)A Complicated Kindness, Miriam Toews. I think YA is grossly underrated and books like this prove that; I also think the idea that YA has to have a happy ending is ridiculous and this is a book that proves that because it's decidedly melancholic throughout all the way to the end (but honestly that is how teenagerdom felt for me, so I appreciate that)Nightwood, Djuna Barnes. From a stylistic perspective it's unlike any other book I've ever read (it's a story with no plot, really - contemporary of TS Eliot if that gives any context) and it fundamentally changed the way I think about love and sexualityThe Waves, Virginia Woolf. My favourite of Woolf's work, this is the first time I ever got to read an experience of depression that felt like my ownThe Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck. Yes, this is an Oprah Book Club book that was given to me by my mother as an "easy read" because I was feeling overwhelmed crushing out a shitload of classics readings in my undergrad, but this is a book that I re-read probably once a year. It just kind of makes you feel good despite the fact that it's about the cyclical folly of man, and I love that Difficult Women, Roxane Gay - I love short stories as much as I love novels, and this is one of the best collections I've ever read, period. Every single one of these stories completely captures the terror and power of what it means to be a womanGrief is the Thing with Feathers, Max Porter - I don't think I've ever cried so hard reading before (like had to stop because I couldn't see the page crying) but you feel really cathartically better after because if you've ever experienced any death in your life this is a heartbreakingly true articulation of how truly awful it is to lose someone you love SOCIALS:Here's where you can find us!Lexi's website and twitter and instagramBen's website and instagram and where to buy his book: Amazon.ca / Comixology / Ind!go / Renegade ArtsDork Matter's website(WIP) and twitter and instagramIf you're enjoying Dork Matters, we'd really appreciate a nice rating and review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

Djuna Barnes (1892-1982) was a journalist, an author, an artist, a poetic novelist, a beacon of modernism, an icon and an iconoclast. She was also a pioneer; a famous wit; an expatriate in Paris in the 1920s (where she befriended James Joyce and became one of the key members of the Lost Generation); a fixture of Greenwich Village both in the 1910s and in the decades after World War II; an early avatar of queer literature; and above all, a genius. In today's episode, Jacke looks at Djuna Barnes's life and works, focusing in particular on her journalism, her plays, her account of meeting James Joyce, and of course, the modernist masterpiece Nightwood (1936).

Djuna Barnes, the woman who mingled with the Lost Generation was born in 1892 in New York and would leave her mark in Paris. Born into a rather different family, her father had two wives and would later marry Djuna off to his second wife's brother. Shortly after her mother had too much she took her kids and left for New York. There Djuna began working as a writer for the New York Eagle. Not only was she a talented writer but also an illustrator who would draw pictures that accompanied each of her articles. In 1921 she arrived in Paris and settled in Saint Germain. She instantly mingled with the newly arriving American ex-pat group and the large group of lesbians that settled in Paris led by Natalie Barney, who will talk about next week. The two had a short affair, which was a right of passage for just about every lesbian that arrived in Paris. Their relationship was short but remained friends as long as Djuna lived in Paris. Involved with Thelma Wood while in Paris, the two had a volatile relationship that was very public resulting in arguments due to Thelma's drinking. After it ended Djuna turned to drinking too much and also wrote The Nightwood based on their love affair and her best-known book. She began writing the book sitting in the Cafe de la Mairie across from Saint Sulpice where many other writers would do the same. When her drinking became too much, friend Peggy Guggenheim sent her to London and finally back to New York where she would spend time in an asylum. While there she decided to write a play about the dark dirty secrets of her family which didn't please her family at all. She would spend the rest of her life alone and living like a recluse in her New York apartment and lived until she was 90 years old, dying just 6 days after her birthday June 18, 1982. Listen to the newest episode of La Vie Creative - Paris History Avec A Hemingway today. More info and photos: https://www.claudinehemingway.com/paris-history-avec-a-hemingway-podcast-1Support Claudine on Patreon and get more of Paris and all her stories and benefits like discounts on her tours, custom history, and exclusive content  https://www.patreon.com/bleublonderougeFacebook https://www.facebook.com/BleuBlondeRougeInstagram https://www.instagram.com/claudinebleublonderouge/Sign up for the weekly Blue Blonde Rouge newsletter  https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5e8f6d73375c490028be6a76 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/join/Laviecreative)

Hosts Catherine Nichols and Sandra Newman discuss the novel Nightwood, focusing in this episode on the extraordinary life and career of its author, Djuna Barnes, who lived among the most extreme personalities of 1920s Paris and was celebrated as one of Modernism's great writers, but then withdrew into total seclusion for the last 40 years of her life. For some background on this episode, here's Robert Giroux reminiscing about the experience of being Barnes's publisher: https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/01/books/the-most-famous-unknown-in-the-world-remembering-djuna-barnes.html. And here's a very rare recording of Barnes herself, reading from her play "The Antiphon" (with really abysmal sound quality and a lot of setting up, but somehow that feels like part of the Barnes experience): https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/05/12/greenwich-village-1971/

Michelle might be a frontrunner for the position of busiest woman in Portland. She is the co-founder of The Nightwood Society, a private dining space that serves as a hub for creative women in Portland’s food scene, hosting events, tastings, and makers markets. Her newest venture is consulting with Burgerville, a chain with close ties to the Pacific Northwest that is currently partnering with Battista and her business partner, Kati Reardon, to procure product from and promote regenerative farming practices. Michelle spoke with Dana Cowin, host of Speaking Broadly, about her various projects. HRN On Tour is powered by Simplecast.

The proprietress of Nightwood Society, a gathering space for food experiences, joins HRN host Dana Cowin in the StreamPDX trailer. Topics include Alice in Wonderland, entrepreneurship, open-hearted living and raising daughters well. Plus, Michelle figured out a great way to stop wasting time worrying. Michelle Battista built her reputation in the design and marketing world, then a fateful product consulting gig with renown chefs and restaurateurs ignited her love of food. In 2014 she co-opened an event space in NE Portland and a year later formed Stockpot Collective, a community of marketing + content experts in the world of food. Michelle knew the time was right to realize her dream of launching a new venture in food + design with an all woman group of creatives. She gathered her dream team of butcher, bakers, and magic-makers and The Nightwood was born! Thanks to our engineer, Aaron Parecki of Stream PDX.

We gathered some of Portland’s brightest minds at the creative event space the Nightwood to ask: What would buildings designed by and for women look like? Developer Anyeleh Hallová of project^ and Amy Donohue, a principal with Bora Architects talk us through big picture issues. And we check out a couple of case studies: Alicia McVey and Maren Elliott of Swift Agency join us for a look inside their headquarters — a study in transformative design.

We went live this week for Design Week Portland at the hottest new event space in Northeast Portland: the Nightwood. And we invited some exciting people in architecture and development to talk about homes and work spaces designed by women. Sit back for a deep-dive at the big-picture issues shaping the built environment.[slideshow: design-week-at-the-nightwood-society,left,5ada733e9245030158d5cd95]Cultivating Creative Space at the Nightwood - 1:55Michelle Battista is the founder of the Nightwood Society, the collective of women creating a safe space for artists and designers to come together to learn and share their skills. Their unique event space, the Nightwood, is hosting parties of every kind and offering ways to widen your foodie skill set. Some of the events the Nightwood Society have put on include tastings for Oregon-grown olive oil, top-drawer chefs cooking to raise money for Puerto Rico, wine tastings that spill over into secret locations — even classes on how to butcher a hog or chicken. Battista talks to us about founding Nightwood and her ethos.Designing With Women: Anyeleh Hallová and Amy Donohue - 7:57There's no end to new development in Portland right now. But many of those impressive new buildings can look different, depending on who's doing the looking. The fields of real estate development and architecture are mostly male. We talked to two people about how the design process is different with women involved. Anyeleh Hallová is partner at the Portland firm project. Her latest act involves a high-rise made of wood. Amy Donohue is a principal with Bora Architects. She has a special feel for the places where people learn. They spoke to us about projects they worked on.Tranformative Office Space at Swift - 26:26Portland is full of successful design agencies, but few shine as brightly as Swift. Started by Alicia McVey and Liz Valentine in 2006, it has grown to 140 people, 65 percent of whom are women. Of course, a fabulous company needs a fabulous office, and two years back, Swift set their eyes on an old awning factory in Northwest industrial Portland. We spoke with McVey and Swift's Chief Talent Officer Maren Elliott about designing the building, and what's different in an office where architecture deconstructs hierarchy.Reconstituted Sugar: Hacienda CDC Creates Las Adelitas - 40:43A blighted corner of the Cully neighborhood is about to get a big makeover. Hacienda CDC is creating a new multi-generational affordable housing complex on the site of a long-standing strip joint. Rose Ojeda, Director of Housing Development for Hacienda CDC, talks to us about the new project, designed with women and their families in mind.

Torsdagen den 9 november bjöd jag tillsammans med det nya hotellet Downtown Camper by Scandic in till den första i en serie av fem liveinspelningar med efterföljande Afterwork i hotellbaren Campfire.Nästa tillfälle för att sitta med som publik under en Huskyinspelning eller bara hänga med oss på en Husky Afterwork kommer torsdagen den 7 december - håll utkik på sociala medier för att få reda på vem eller vilka som jag då ska intervjua.Downtown Campers biosalong Nightwood rymmer ungefär trettiofem gäster och salongen var nästan fullsatt då jag intervjuade Sören Kjellkvist och Glenn Mattsing som tillsammans inledde projektet Row Around Svalbard.Sören har jag tidigare intervjuat i avsnitt åttioåtta.Som namnet antyder handlar projektet om att, för första gången, att med utgångspunkt i Tromsø korsa Barents hav för att sedan helt på egen kraft ro runt Svalbard - ett projekt som borde vara och förbli omöjligt då den för isbjörnen så viktiga packisen brukar hålla alla fartygspassager stängda. Dock så har klimatförändringarna och den globala uppvärmningen under de senaste åren inneburit att stora havsområden varit isfria under alldeles för lång tid och detta blev starten till formuleringen av Sören och Glenns projekt.
