1940 Ira Berkow was born on Januin Chicago, Illinois, USA as Ira Harvey Berkow. 1981 Was a sports writer/columnist for The New York Times from 1981 to 2007. In this blend of insightful biography and true crime, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Ira Berkow chronicles the story, using first-hand accounts to weave together a fascinating portrait of a criminal and “a corking good cops-and-robbers tale” ( Library Journal). 1988 Was a Edgar Allan Poe Award nominee in 1988 for his non-fiction book The Man Who Robbed The Pierre: The Story of Bobby Comfort and the Biggest Hotel Robbery Ever. Sort of like Robin Hood-except for the part where he kept the loot himself-Comfort masterminded what was, at the time, the most lucrative heist in history, while appearing to his neighbors like an ordinary suburban family man. Eventually, taking money from the rich was where he excelled. He had taken to crime from a young age with card sharping and petty theft. The answer lay in the leader of the thieves, a man by the name of Bobby Comfort. The police were baffled by how such a large-scale operation could go off so smoothly. In January 1972, men in tuxedos robbed the Pierre, the luxurious Manhattan hotel, and got away with eleven million dollars’ worth of cash and jewelry. It just so happened that he was great at being a criminal. Growing up in Rochester, New York, Bobby Comfort wanted to be a good something. This Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s true account of the thief behind the famed 1972 heist is “an engrossing crime biography . . . Many of these stories take place in worlds much like ours, but their psychological realism is punctured by the fantastic, supernatural, and apocalyptic. “The Resident,” an eerie tale of a writer’s experience at a residency gone wrong, tackles the problem of the “ madwoman in the attic,” and how some tropes limit our ability to write about mental illness and women’s emotional lives. In “The Husband Stitch,” a folktale about a girl whose head is held on by a ribbon (famously collected in Alvin Schwartz’s In a Dark, Dark Room) becomes the basis for a story about misogyny, sexuality, and the values embedded in the stories we tell. The genre-bending stories collected in Her Body and Other Parties weave fables, urban legends, gothic literature, and popular culture to create moving narratives about female selfhood. These are only a few of the wonders contained in the pages of Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado’s electrifying debut. A phantasmagoric reimagining of one of television’s most popular shows. An inventory of lovers, written as the world falls apart. ‘Her Body and Other Parties’ by Carmen Maria MachadoĪ mysterious green ribbon around a woman’s neck. Blanche attempts to stay back in the past but it is impossible, and Stella only survives by mixing her DuBois blood with the common stock of the Kowalskis the old South can only live on in a diluted, bastardized form. Their strain of Old South was not conquered by the march of General Sherman's army, but by the steady march of time, and as Blanche's beauty fades with age so too do these vestiges of that civilization gone with the wind. Belle Reve, their family's ancestral plantation, has been lost, and the two sisters are the last living members of their family and, symbolically, of their old world of cavaliers and cotton fields. Stella and Blanche come from a world that is rapidly dying. To survive, Stella must also resort to a kind of illusion, forcing herself to believe that Blanche's accusations against Stanley are false so that she can continue living with her husband. Throughout the play, Blanche's dependence on illusion is contrasted with Stanley's steadfast realism, and in the end it is Stanley and his worldview that win. Fantasy has a liberating magic that protects her from the tragedies she has had to endure. She is a quixotic figure, seeing the world not as it is but as it ought to be. But her deceits carry no trace of malice, but rather they come from her weakness and inability to confront the truth head-on. Blanche dwells in illusion fantasy is her primary means of self-defense, both against outside threats and against her own demons. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp-and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Turns out America's "Cooking Sweetheart" is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show-sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac-a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival-and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar.

Elephant and Piggie is a book series for early readers created by Mo Willems. As ever, the great Charley Pride, who began the new decade with two more country chart-toppers, was exceptional in every way.ġ980’s best country releases were as numerous as any other year but distinctive in one unexpected respect: The year was chock-full of concept albums. Also staying the same was the genre’s continued penchant for lifting all variety of black sounds, including but not limited to rock, while all but lacking any actual black artists. This country-pop-rock approach brought millions of new listeners to the format, if only temporarily.īut, as had almost always been the case, old stars and sounds persisted in 1980 right alongside the new stuff. Indeed, after 1980, people would keep saying it for a couple of decades. But you might say the same about country music of the period generally. The double album actually included as much pop and rock as country: Johnny Lee, Charlie Daniels, and Mickey Gilley mixed with Jimmy Buffett, the Eagles, Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, Joe Walsh, and Linda Ronstadt. Urban Cowboy was released 40 years ago this summer, and both that John Travolta film and its soundtrack quickly came to define an entire era of country music.
