Still, her curiosity grows each year, as does her desire for real friends and the chance to build on something, instead of leaving behind school projects, teams, and crushes at a moment’s notice.

Writers have always contemplated their own deaths, of course, most famously Michel de Montaigne, the first modern essayist, whom Kalanithi quotes: “To study philosophy is to learn to die.” But most authors, like the rest of us, don’t get around to thinking about it until late in their lives. Books like Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture and Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air spend weeks on the New York Times best-seller list (115 for the former, and for the later, 60 and counting), in part for their promise to share some of the clarity their authors earned in the hardest possible way. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Der fromme Tanz by Klaus Mann![]() ![]() Around this time they made the acquaintance of Annemarie Schwarzenbach, a Swiss writer and photographer, who remained close to them for the next few years. He travelled with Erika to North Africa in 1929. ![]() The engagement was broken off in January 1928. In 1924 he had become engaged to his childhood friend Pamela Wedekind, the eldest daughter of the playwright Frank Wedekind, who was also a close friend of his sister Erika. ![]() After only a short time in various schools, he travelled with his sister Erika Mann, a year older than himself, around the world, visiting the US in 1927, and reporting about it in essays published as a collaborative travelogue in 1929. His homosexuality often made him the target of bigotry, and he had a difficult relationship with his father. His first literary works were published in 1925. He began writing short stories in 1924 and the following year became drama critic for a Berlin newspaper. His father was baptized as a Lutheran, while his mother was from a family of secular Jews. Born in Munich, Klaus Mann was the son of German writer Thomas Mann and his wife, Katia Pringsheim. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Moonsong by L.J.

From the very first chapter of Madame de Pompadour, it was clear how much Mitford had learned about the art of biography in the period between those two books. Published in 1970, it’s a wonderful book, full of colourful anecdotes skillfully threaded through a well-structured and well-researched account of a difficult man’s fascinating life. My first encounter with Mitford the biographer was her last book: Frederick the Great. She threw herself into researching Louis XV’s famous mistress and the result is something between the froth of a novel and the impartiality of a biography. With seven novels already behind her, Mitford had a fine reputation but, intoxicated and in love with her new home in Paris, she was eager to write about something other than the romantic trials of the English. ![]() In 1954, Madame de Pompadour by Nancy Mitford was released to indulgent – and no doubt frustrating for the author – praise from the critics. Once you’ve proven yourself as a novelist, what do you do next? Do you turn out novel after novel, perhaps improving, or perhaps churning out forgettable fodder? Or do you try something entirely different, striking out into the unknown and – to your readers – the unexpected? I know which sounds like more fun to me. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Bluets by Maggie Nelson![]() She has also been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in Nonfiction, an NEA in Poetry, an Innovative Literature Fellowship from Creative Capital, and an Arts Writers Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation.

The regime celebrated his resistance to the colonial occupation of southern Mozambique as a precursor to the twentieth-century struggle for independence. ![]() Defeated by the Portuguese in 1895, Ngungunhane was recuperated by Mozambique’s post-independence government as a national and nationalist hero. Named one of Africa’s hundred best books of the twentieth century, it reflects on Mozambique’s past and present through interconnected narratives related to the last ruler of the Gaza Empire, Ngungunhane.
