The Emphatically Queer Career of Perkins Harnly is the story of a Nebraska-born artist (1901-1986) who over the course of his long-life crossed paths with a staggering array of famous and infamous personalities. He partied with Sarah Bernhardt. Was friends with Paul Swan, a.k.a. "The Most Beautiful Man in the World," (who made women swoon when he danced in his tiny leopard-skin tunic). Was the frequent houseguest of Rose O'Neill, the free-living artist who invented the Kewpie. And dedicated correspondent of William Seabrook, author and occasional cannibal who--for better or worse--introduced Americans to the zombie. The story follows Harnly's steps from remote farmlands of Nebraska through silent-era Hollywood, post-revolutionary Mexico, Depression-era New York, wartime Tinsel Town, queer Los Angeles during the repressive 1950s, and in the 1970s. And romping through Europe and South America, where Harnly indulged in his hobby of visiting the graves of the famous and infamous from Vladimir Lenin to Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, and Eva Peron. Sarah Burns uses archives of letters and interviews to bring the lives of Harnly and his circle of creative friends whose antics rival the infamous "bright young things" of England. Once you meet Harnly, you will never forget him.

Download Three Masters: Balzac, Dickens, Dostoevsky Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In these early 20th century literary essays, Stefan Zweig offers a Central European view of the writers he believed to be the “three greatest novelists” of the 19th century: Balzac, Dickens, and Dostoevsky. In Zweig’s view, Balzac set out to emulate his childhood hero Napoleon. Writing 20 hours a day, Balzac’s literary ambition was “tantamount to monomania in its persistence, its intensity, and its concentration.” His characters, each similarly driven by one desperate urge, were more vital to Balzac than people in his daily life. In Zweig’s reading, Dickens embodied Victorian England and its “bourgeois smugness”. His characters aspire to “A few hundred pounds a year, an amiable wife, a dozen children, a well-appointed table and succulent meats to entertain their friends with, a cottage not too far from London, the windows giving a view over the green countryside, a pretty little garden, and a modicum of happiness.” The ideal of middle-class respectability suffuses Dickens’ fiction. Dostoevsky drew on the struggles of his own life to illuminate the contradictions of the human soul. In Zweig’s view, his heroes had no desire to be citizens or ordinary human beings. While Balzac’s heroes “would gladly have subjugated the world, Dostoevsky’s heroes wished to transcend it.”
