Eileen Weiner Book review: 'The Stranger's Child,' by Alan Hollinghurst. Alfred A. Knopf
Spanning the centuries with 'The Stranger's Child'
Book review: 'The Stranger's Child,' by Alan Hollinghurst. Alfred A. Knopf, $27.95.
Sunday, October 23, 2011
Over the past century the British fixation with the houses of the upper class has provided an almost too-familiar setting and literary device for narratives about class, English decline and, not infrequently, the undercurrent of homosexuality in the chronicle of English social, political and artistic life.
In "The Stranger's Child," Alan Hollinghurst's first novel since winning the 2004 Man Booker Prize for "The Line of Beauty," the author readily acknowledges the numerous English country-house novels that serve as touchstones for the first two of five sections of this intricate, century-spanning book.
The resulting literary pastiche is amusing, one allusion leading to another: the most overt nods are to "Brideshead Revisited," "Maurice" and "Howards End," with echoes of more modern examples of the genre, especially "Atonement" and "The Remains of the Day."
However, after a while all the nodding and winking begin to wear thin, especially as these long sections are written in period, Jamesian style, with an overabundance of smirks, sly glances and veiled remarks. I was glad that the third section leaped from 1926 to 1967, where the language lightens perceptibly while remaining drenched in irony....

Haaretz: Shostakovich's muse By Noam Ben Zeev

Shostakovich's muse
In March 1953, a sigh of collective relief swept over the
streets of the Soviet Union: Joseph Stalin was dead. Among the millions of
people who felt that their lives were returned to them was the man who had been
considered the Russian national composer until he fell out of favor with the
regime, eight years earlier, Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975).
His Ninth Symphony, which he wrote to celebrate the USSR's
victory in World War II, was radiant, full of life, almost "light,"
but it infuriated Stalin. The Party committees declared it to go against the
will of the Soviet people, and denunciated the composer with the label that was
a death sentence for any artist: "formalistic."
Shostakovich was boycotted. The eight years during which the
commissions dried up and the performances of his work ceased, and in which he
was dismissed from his position as professor of composition at the Moscow
Conservatory, brought him to the brink of poverty and to thoughts of suicide.
It seems that he was not immune to the curse: Beethoven had been the last to
write nine symphonies, and in the 130 years since his death, no major composer
had succeeded in completing a 10th one.
In December of 1953, however, the curse was lifted. The
conservatory's huge Bolshoi Auditorium, sparkling with thousands of lights and
overflowing with colorful bouquets, was packed with an audience that had come
to celebrate the composer's return to his hometown, with his new symphony, his
10th. The enormous, excited crowd applauded the Leningrad Philharmonic, under
the baton of one of the period's great conductors, Evgeny Mravinsky. And
Shostakovich, bursting with pride, took his seat of honor…

I’ll be happy to have a copy of Symphony No. 10 in E minor, from
1953, for Christmas. I’m just saying…
Also see: “The Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra contains the
best high school musicians from Venezuela's life-changing music program, El
Sistema. Led here by Gustavo Dudamel, they play Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10,
2nd movement, and Arturo Márquez' Danzón No. 2.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amSqQ5XNaGE

The Quote Investigator looks into: Be Kind Everyone You Meet

Be Kind; Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle
Plato? Philo of Alexandria? Ian MacLaren? John Watson?
Question: This question is from Glossolalia Black.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
It is attributed to Plato on this little thing I have up in
my office, but I was told by a friend that it wasn’t him.
Fred Shapiro replied “this sounds anachronistic for Plato by
almost 2500 years” and then invited
readers to attempt to trace the quotation.
Quote Investigator: The websites ThinkExist,
Quotations Page,
and Brainy
Quote do have this quotation listed under the august name of Plato.
Philo of Alexandria is another popular choice when assigning
attribution, e.g., QuotationsBook
credits Philo. Sometimes Anonymous gets the nod. QI was able to trace the
saying back more than one-hundred years to its likely origin. The original
aphorism did not use the word “kind”. Instead, another surprising word was
used.
