His small press magazine Burnt Offerings was a minor seller on both sides of the Atlantic, and was the first esoteric magazine to interview mainstream creators like Terry Pratchett and Pat Mills. Moving away from comics, he went back into trade journalism and media marketing/creation. In 1991 he wrote for a small press comics publisher, of which only one project, The Cost of Miracles in Comic Speculator News was ever printed, and remains his first printed commercial comic work. He has also written several award winning local radio campaigns. Tony has written for a variety of mediums including Radio 4, The BBC, commerical television in both the UK and US, magazines and both local and national newspapers. Informed by a teacher that he had a comic book style of writing, (a comment meant more as an insult), Tony decided that one day he would write for comics. A New York Times Best-selling Graphic Novelist, Tony Lee was born in West London, UK in 1970.

By reconstructing the commedia dell'arte scenarios published by troupe manager Flaminio Scala (1547-1624), Schmitt demonstrates that in its Golden Age the commedia dell'arte relied as much on craftsmanship as on improvisation and that Scala's scenarios are a treasure trove of social commentary on early modern daily life in Italy. With Befriending the Commedia dell'Arte of Flaminio Scala, Natalie Crohn Schmitt demolishes that assumption. Because of its stock characters, improvised dialogue, and extravagant theatricalism, the commedia dell'arte is often assumed to be a superficial comic style. The most important theatrical movement in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Europe, the commedia dell'arte has inspired playwrights, artists, and musicians including Moliere, Dario Fo, Picasso, and Stravinsky. 36: Isabella Astrologer Conclusion Appendix: List of All Scala Scenarios Notes Selected Bibliography Index.List of Illustrations Preface Part One: Context, Culture, and Aesthetics * Befriending the Text* Character Relationships* The Setting and Life in the Street* Invention Part Two: Scenario Reconstructions Method * Day.

But that isn’t the true beginning of the story. The rush of turning a page and a story beginning. The Ten Thousand Doors of January starts, as great tales often do, with a book. When one enters a door, one must be brave enough to see the other side. Even the morning’s clarity couldn’t snatch that away. The sensible part of me informed me, patiently, that none of it had any more bearing on real life than a dream, yet in the surreal fuzziness of the night, I felt-on a bone-deep, irrational level-the possibility that I might turn a key, open a door and unlock the mysteries of the world. It seemed hardly credible when I finished reading that I couldn’t follow the words back to a world where this wasn’t mere fiction. The Ten Thousand Doors of January is almost less a novel than an experience: never have I felt more like I was part of things, moved by the same current, like my soul had disconnected from my body and drifted among fictional souls in a mist somewhere between fantasy and reality. I felt that to speak of this book would be to contain what it did to me, to diminish it somehow. The nurse spent the whole time constructing new warm pants for everybody, on the principle that the climate of any place outside the Forest Sauvage must be treacherous to the extreme, and, as for the sergeant, he polished all the armour till it was quite brittle and sharpened the swords till they were almost worn away.Īt last it was time to set out. Kay's sumptuous bath had to be set up in the box-room, between two towel-horses and an old box of selected games which contained a worn-out straw dart-board-it was called flechette in those days-because all the other rooms were full of packing. The knighting took place in a whirl of preparations. And there is a slow build up to Eelyn realizing that family is more then blood and that loving one family is not a betrayal of the other. In a culture that values loyalty to your tribe (the Aska) and honour above your own life, it wasn’t surprising how angry Eelyn was to find out that her brother had willingly chosen to stay with the Riki (rival tribe) instead of coming back to them. I thought Eelyn was a really wonderful heroine and very clearly a product of her environment. And I’m really happy I did! There are so many really mixed reviews about this book, but I thought it was a fun read and I like the direction that Young took in this story. I was nervous, because I didn’t know how gory it would be and I’m not a big fan of a ton of fighting, but I still wanted to give it a try. This book grabbed my attention for two reasons: the badass cover (the hair! The axe! those green eyes!) and because it sounded very Viking-inspired, which I don’t feel like I’ve had enough opportunity to read. In this forward-thinking and eye-opening book, feminist bisexual and genderqueer activist Shiri Eisner takes readers on a journey through the many aspects of the meanings and politics of bisexuality, specifically highlighting how bisexuality can open up new and exciting ways of challenging social convention.

By 1837, as the first-of-its-kind New York and Harlem Railroad began its service between Lower Manhattan and Harlem, the rural area became a hotbed of commercial traffic. Retail is in the Upper East Side's blood.Ĭenturies before the Upper East Side became the haut monde shopping capital - and before European immigrants even colonized the island in the first place - the area's East River waterfront was a popular fishing hub among the Munsee Lenape people. In other words: Madison Avenue is getting a makeover. Indeed, a growing crop of the U.S.'s buzziest design talent - like Tanya Taylor, Jonathan Cohen, Altuzarra, Gabriela Hearst and La Ligne - are gravitating toward the Upper East Side for new brick-and-mortar ventures, seeking out more seasoned luxury shoppers and post-pandemic real estate incentives. "There's been a lot of shifting, and the momentum is strong." "The energy on the Upper East Side feels really renewed," says Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth, whose own Madison Avenue jewel box of a boutique opened late last year.
