Not to be Rude
Author: Sarina Rowell
Publisher: Fontaine Press Pty Ltd
ISBN: 1925442950
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Not to be Rude is a painfully assembled collection of writing by Sarina Rowell from cult humour websites The Scrivener’s Fancy and Imagined Slights. Here, all in one place, for the first and last time, she goes into bat for the unfairly maligned – thirtysomething, Nicole Kidman, fashion models and being ‘childless by choice’; and goes into bat against the unfairly non-maligned – tapas restaurants, second-hand booksellers, live performances and Audrey Hepburn. If you loved the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth, you won’t love Not to be Rude, and will, furthermore, be demonstrating your own terrible taste. ‘Pretty damned funny.’ –TONY MARTIN (the comedian, not the cyclist)

Nutcracker Nation
Author: Jennifer Fisher
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030013343X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The Nutcracker is the most popular ballet in the world, adopted and adapted by hundreds of communities across the United States and Canada every Christmas season. In this entertainingly informative book, Jennifer Fisher offers new insights into the Nutcracker phenomenon, examining it as a dance scholar and critic, a former participant, an observer of popular culture, and an interviewer of those who dance, present, and watch the beloved ballet. Fisher traces The Nutcracker’s history from its St. Petersburg premiere in 1892 through its emigration to North America in the mid-twentieth century to the many productions of recent years. She notes that after it was choreographed by another Russian immigrant to the New World, George Balanchine, the ballet began to thrive and variegate: Hawaiians added hula, Canadians added hockey, Mark Morris set it in the swinging sixties, and Donald Byrd placed it in Harlem. The dance world underestimates The Nutcracker at its peril, Fisher suggests, because the ballet is one of its most powerfully resonant traditions. After starting life as a Russian ballet based on a German tale about a little girl’s imagination, The Nutcracker has become a way for Americans to tell a story about their communal values and themselves.
