Listen to the House
Author: Ratna Rao Shekar
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
It is the countries, the cities, the streets, the houses we have grown up in that define our lives. How can we ever escape them? We look at our life years later by the streets we have played in, the houses we have lived in, and the cities whose bylanes we crisscrossed. We are that memory finally. Listen to the House is the story of two girls who travel the world but are rooted in the houses they grew up in, and anchored to each other by the long letters they exchange, no matter where they are. And this they do through their lives in whatever situations they are. The novel evokes an old Hyderabad that no longer exists, a slowness of life that has died, and friendships that have all but disappeared.

The Life of the Neighborhood Playhouse on Grand Street
Author: John P. Harrington
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815631552
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Improbably located in the heart of the Jewish ghetto on the Lower East side of Manhattan, the Neighborhood Playhouse and its brief yet influential tenure offers a fascinating story in the annals of theater history. From 1915 to 1927, this progressive theater, along with the better-known Provincetown Players and the Theatre Guild, inaugurated the Little Theater Movement in America. In John P. Harrington’s detailed account of the Neighborhood Playhouse’s remarkable history, readers learn not only about its notable productions but also about its gradual shift in mission and the tensions between art and social work. Harrington traces the playhouse’s long-lasting legacy: it fostered The Neighborhood School of Acting made famous by Sanford Meisner, now the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, and it helped spawn the expansive network of community theaters that thrive throughout America today. Well-researched and detailed, this book provides a vital yet often overlooked piece of theater history and a lost key to understanding the growth of theater arts in New York City.

The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India
Author: Madhavi Desai
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351893475
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The primary era of this study - the twentieth century - symbolizes the peak of the colonial rule and its total decline, as well as the rise of the new nation state of India. The processes that have been labeled 'westernization' and 'modernization' radically changed middle-class Indian life during the century. This book describes and explains the various technological, political and social developments that shaped one building type - the bungalow - contemporaneous to the development of modern Indian history during the period of British rule and its subsequent aftermath. Drawing on their own physical and photographic documentation, and building on previous work by Anthony King and the Desais, the authors show the evolution of the bungalow's architecture from a one storey building with a verandah to the assortment of house-forms and their regional variants that are derived from the bungalow. Moreover, the study correlates changes in society with architectural consequences in the plans and aesthetics of the bungalow. It also examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved.
