David Dylan Thomas explores what would happen if enslaved people in Washington Square rose from the dead in the upcoming zombie film, White Meat

Although the writer Henry James (1843-1916) was born in New York City's Washington Square, he spent most of his adulthood in Europe, where he wrote such masterpieces as The Portrait of a Lady, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl. Late in life, he returned to New York after a thirty-three year absence to find the city much transformed, as skyscrapers and grand public buildings - museums and libraries and opera houses - now dominated the scene. In this episode, Jacke reads and comments upon the opening of James's 1908 story "The Jolly Corner," in which a man revisits his childhood home in New York after a thirty-three year absence and finds himself chasing memories, ghosts, and other figments of his imagination.

New York City!

Chapter 1 What's Washington Square by Henry James"Washington Square" is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1880. It tells the story of Catherine Sloper, a wealthy but socially awkward young woman living in New York City during the 19th century. The narrative explores her relationship with her domineering father, Dr. Austin Sloper, who disapproves of her suitor, Morris Townsend, seeing him as a fortune hunter. The novel delves into themes of love, loss, and the constraints of society. Catherine's struggle for autonomy, compounded by her father's skepticism and her own insecurities, positions the novel as a study of character and moral complexity. James' nuanced prose captures the subtleties of personal relationships against the backdrop of New York's upper-class society, making it a compelling exploration of social norms and individual desires.Chapter 2 Washington Square by Henry James Summary"Washington Square" is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1880. The story is set in New York City during the early 19th century and revolves around the life of Catherine Sloper, a young woman living in a wealthy but emotionally cold household.Catherine is the daughter of Dr. Austin Sloper, a well-respected but stern physician, and his deceased wife, who was a glamorous socialite. Catherine is described as plain and socially awkward, in stark contrast to the vibrant world that her mother once inhabited. Following her mother's death, Dr. Sloper becomes increasingly critical and dismissive of Catherine, believing that she lacks the charm and capabilities to attract a suitable husband.As the story unfolds, Catherine meets and falls in love with Morris Townsend, a charming and attractive young man who appears to be drawn to her wealth rather than her personality. Despite her father's disapproval of Morris—whom he considers a gold digger—Catherine is determined to pursue the romance. Dr. Sloper tries to dissuade Catherine from the relationship, but she is resolute in her feelings.The novel explores themes of love, money, familial obligation, and social class. It showcases James's keen observation of social dynamics and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through Catherine's struggles with her father and her own emotions. As the plot progresses, Morris's true intentions become dubious, and his reluctance to commit to Catherine as her fortune comes into question. This leads to a push-and-pull dynamic between love and financial security. Ultimately, Dr. Sloper's stern, oppressive nature clashes with Catherine's desire for independence and happiness.The novel concludes ambiguously, with Catherine's decision to stand firm in her beliefs, leaving the reader to ponder her future and the sacrifices she has made for love and self-identity. "Washington Square" is often regarded as a profound character study, examining the intersections of romance, ambition, and the constraints imposed by society and family.Chapter 3 Washington Square AuthorHenry James, an American-British author, is well-known for his psychological realism and intricate narratives that explore the consciousness of his characters. He was born on April 15, 1843, in New York City and passed away on February 28, 1916, in London, England.

This was of course The Jazz Singer which was released October 6, 1927.Dresser died in 1906 so had no idea his work would be so honored. In the film it is sung briefly (and ostensibly) by the teenage Robert Gordon, although it is dubbed by an unknown singer.Since its first publication at New York in 1905, "My Gal Sal" has been republished a number of times including around 1960, and has also been fairly widely recorded. >>In 1942, a musical film based on Paul Dresser's life called My Gal Sal was released.

In the heart of Manhattan, at 2329 Washington Place, near Washington Square, on the New York University (NYU) campus, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, bustling with young immigrant workers—mostly women—caught fire. The factory occupied the top floors of the Asch Building, and when the fire erupted, it was swift and merciless. Flames engulfed the cramped workrooms, fed by piles of fabric and paper patterns. With exits locked to prevent theft and keep workers at their stations, escape routes were limited to a few inadequate fire escapes and elevators that soon failed as the fire spread. The result was horrifying: 146 workers perished, either consumed by flames or plunging to their deaths in a desperate attempt to escape.

Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine, it is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, domineering father.The book is often compared to Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was hardly a great admirer of Jane Austen, so he might not have regarded the comparison as flattering. In fact, James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself. He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907-1909) but found that he couldn't, and the novel was not included. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon.

Buy Up Late: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/up-lateReeling in the face of collapsing systems, of politics, identity and the banalities and distortions of modern living, Nick Laird confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, the push and pull of daily life. At the book's heart lies the title sequence, a profound meditation on a father's dying, the reverberations of which echo throughout in poems that interrogate inheritance and legacy, illness and justice, accounts of what is lost and what, if anything, can be retrieved. Laird is a poet capable of heading off in any and every direction, where layers of association transport us from a clifftop in County Cork to the library steps in New York's Washington Square, from a face-off between Freud and Michelangelo's Moses to one between the poet and a squirrel in a Kilburn garden. There is conflation and conflagration, rage and fire, neither of which are seen as necessarily destructive. But there is great tenderness, too, a fondness for what grows between the cracks, especially those glimpses into the unadulterated world of childhood, before the knowledge or accumulation of loss, where everything is still at stake and infinite, 'the darkness under the cattle grid'.Nick Laird was born in County Tyrone in 1975. A poet, novelist, screenwriter, critic and former lawyer, his awards include the Betty Trask Prize, the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award and a Guggenheim fellowship.

This has been a Pride Month like no other. The massive outdoor event at the White House with transgender toplessness, the open flaunting of sexuality and nudity on streets across America, and the wanton brazenness taking place tells us it's only going to get worse. For example- ----Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine -a man who claims to be a woman- has extended the month of Pride -June- into the Summer of Pride. Jim provided audio from the secretary.----The latest inappropriate act turned Yosemite National Park, one of the dearest national monuments, into a debauched party to push a corrupt sexual agenda. The controversy ensued when a drag queen posted a video showing a June 8th pride parade conducted by staffers of the National Park Service.----Ramstein Air Base in Germany hosted a pride themed story hour for children in the library in celebration of Pride Month. The celebration called -Reading With Pride- was held on June 15, with the official Facebook page of the base posting photos of the event. ----Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has declared the state a sanctuary for parents of trans kid seeking to evade sex-change bans in other states.----Naked men on bicycles in Seattle. The naked bike ride in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, last weekend. Bud light proudly sponsored the city pride parade in Toronto and even featured a float with a drag queen and there were multiple reports of fully nude parade participants. In New York City, lesbians shed their clothing and danced nude in a giant fountain in the middle of Washington Square. All of these are promoted as -family friendly- events.

Some tour guides and historians have said that to understand the early history of New York, just follow the population's migration up the island of Manhattan during the 19th century.  On today's show, historian and tour guide Keith Taillon takes us on a virtual tour and discusses how wealthy neighborhoods like Washington Square, Gramercy Park, Madison Square and of course the "gold coast" of Fifth Avenue developed, and what factors contributed to how it grew the way it did.  Along the way, Keith discusses many well known figures such as Astors and Vanderbilts as well as some lesser known but important trendsetters, such as the outrageous Mamie Fish and  groundbreaking (literally) Mary Mason Jones.  After this show, you'll never look at Manhattan or the Gilded Age in quite the same way again.

Today, Ursula Villarreal-Moura talks to us about her new collection, hating and then learning to love flash fiction, Muriel Spark, how Roberto Bolaño would blurb her forthcoming novel, and more!  Ursula Villarreal-Moura is the author of Math for the Self-Crippling, which was selected by Zinzi Clemmons as the Gold Line Press fiction contest winner, and Like Happiness, forthcoming with Celadon Books. A graduate of Middlebury College, she received her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and was a VONA/Voices fellow.

Tonight, we'll rebroadcast the opening to “Washington Square”, written by Henry James and published in 1880. This episode originally aired on November 18, 2020. The novel recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, a British actress.
