Eagle Archive: Halloween, tale of a Westminster native with a taste for adventure, with side order of macabre

October 29, 2011
Carroll County has many sons and daughters who have made contributions to the literary and artistic world. Take William Buehler Seabrook, for example.
What's that? You never heard of him? Seabrook was apparently one interesting character. It is only fitting that we talk about him on the eve of Halloween.
He was born in Westminster Feb. 22, 1884, and died Sept. 20, 1945.

[...]

Yes indeed. Seabrook was part of the American Lost Generation genre of writers, which includes, for example, F. Scott Fitzgerald and T. S. Eliot. "Lost Generation" was the term coined by Gertrude Stein, according to Ernest Hemingway, who utilized the theme in "The Sun Also Rises," published in 1926. He noted the Lost Generation in his posthumously published "A Moveable Feast," a memoir about life in Paris in the 1920s with other American writers and artists... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1030-20111026-8,0,427237.story

Nice article. The article is reaffirming and reassuring about the future of journalism… and that is certainly reinforced in the comments. The glass is half-full. I’m just saying.

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.
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11296/1183871-148-0.stm?cmpid=newspanel0
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

Published 02.04.07

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
