questio

about reading t h is s u m m e r ? Right As Rain, an escapist mystery by George Peiacanos set in Washington, D.C. — D ick Chodkow ski Partner, Monroe Street Books M iddlebury The David McCullough biography about the second presi dent, John Adams. — Martha Wales Clerk, Bear Pond Books

Timothy Fidley’s Pilgrim: A Novel. A man who believes he’s 400 0 years old goes to psy chologist Carl Jung to get cured. Is it delusions, memories, dreams or immortality?

RETHINKING POSITIONS Kevin Kelley’s article [“Capital Gains?” June 13] stirred the conflict over the death penalty and exposed key internal contradictions which both divide and are similar between those considered liberal and conserv ative. After first blaming his male ness for all the violence in the world (which is I guess how this article got into the “Men’s Issue”), he ponders the justice in putting convicted mur derers to death. Despite considering myself liber al, and a familial heritage that abhors the misuse of government power (my great-grandfather, Martin Niemoller, is considered by many to be the greatest pacifist in modern history), I have reached the conclu sion that the death penalty is just in cases where the accused’s guilt has been determined by due process, and that for similar reasons parents have , the right to abort unborn children. What I find interesting about the death penalty debate is the way the sides have developed: Proponents are generally referred to as conservatives while opponents are generally referred to as liberals. Conversely, proponents of abortion rights are generally grouped together as liber als, and opponents of abortion rights are branded conservatives. My cen tral premise is that the legal doctrine of fetal viability is fiction. It can be just as convincingly argued that a child’s viability has not been estab lished when one has been ex utero

for 12 years as in utero for six months. I think that our under standing of these issues would be less troublesome if we asked the difficult question: When is it just to take a human life? Few would disagree that mortal force may be used against an attack er. Once you grant that there are some circumstances under which deathly violence is appropriate, the inquiry may continue as to all cir cumstances. When one acknowl edges that death is an inappropriate punishment for all, but not for some, antisocial behavior, you understand that it must be carefully and judiciously meted out. I argue that it is equally just to take the life of a convicted killer as of an unwanted baby, because society is no better equipped to provide for sociopaths than it is for unwanted babies. The processes by which this decision rs and should be made are different, but the central inquiry is the same. The end result is that we must have just rules to determine when and how such lives should be ended. Within this framework, the only valid inquiries are how bad one has to be to deserve execution, or at what point the parent’s right to ter minate the child’s life ends. Incarceration costs taxpayers a lot. Children cost parents a lot. People with life sentences in particu lar are prone to abuse the appeals process known as habeas corpus at even greater taxpayer expense.

Children with birth defects likewise cost even more to support. There is no logic to the conclusion that we should pay for the convicted crimi nal’s maintenance but not for the innocent unborn’s, and it is obvious that we cannot pay for both. Abortion and the death penalty are harsh consequences, but often a nec essary choice. So, conservatives, rethink your stance on abortion, and liberals, rethink your stance on the death penalty. — Markus Brakhan Burlington HALL OF FAME QUALIFIED? Peter, Peter, Peter, I wanted to personally express my dissatisfaction with your treatment of local ice hockey legend and rock star John LeClair in last week’s “Inside Track.” I knew I could have found you ten tatively held up by the bar at Finnigan’s Pub, sucking down a Tullamore Dew ou deux any given evening, however, I thought it would be more fun to write in. Due to the fact that John was called up to Montreal before finish ing a few courses at UVM, you ques tion his eligibility as an inductee to the UVM Hall of Fame. I would argue that UVM should consider itself lucky should Mr. LeClair accept induction into the Hall of Fame. You go on to state that fellow inductee Chuck Davis “possesses one thing John LeClair does not — a

college degree.” Ouch! Once again, I would argue that John LeClair pos sesses many things you, Mr. Freyne, do not — plenty of class and mar ketable talent, just to tip off the proverbial iceberg. Due to the fact that I am certain God has forgiven you for flunking out of seminary school, couldn’t you find it in your cold, wee heart to for give Johnny for the crime of profes sional success? I agree that no one is worth a “gazillion dollars” a year. However, we natives have a saying — make hay while the sun shines. Congrats to Mr. LeClair. I hope he continues his good work on and off the ice. As a UVMer, I hope he accepts induction into the UVM Hall of Fame... — Robin Lee Hall Burlington Letters Policy: SEVEN DAYS wants your rants and raves, in 2 5 0 words or less.

ALL IN THE FAMILY You’d think a celebrity surname would go a long way in the publishing world. But Shelburne author Lynn Stegner — daughter-in-law of the venerable “Wally” — shopped her first manu script around simply as Lynn Marie. Baskerville Publishers loved the book, but not the bodice-ripping nom de plume. Stegners stuck with her married name ever since. Her first novel, Undertow, got nomina tions for a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book Award and the First Fiction Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Fata Morgana followed two years later, in 1995. Her most recent book, Pipers at the Gates o f Dawn, was published last August by University Press of New England — about the same time she and her writer and English prof husband Page moved from Santa Cruz to Vermont. The book, which is actually three interlocking novellas, is set in the Green Mountains. And so are the Stegners, at least for one more year. On Wednesday Lynn winds up a three-week intensive writing institute at the University of — Vermont with a 7 p.m. reading at the Book Rack in Winooski. Then she’ll get back to her next book, about an Irish family that emigrates to Canada during the wheat boom. Stegner snagged a Fulbright to finance the research, and a $20,000 National Endowment grant for spending money. BOOK ENDS Wolcott poet-playwright-philosopher David Budbili ioves making waves — and National Public Radio continues to be a willing collaborator. Garrison Keillor has read 15 of Budbill’s “Zen” poems over the past 17 months. Now “All Things Considered” is putting him to work. Over the weekend, Budbili read an essay on Paul Laurence Dunbar, the black poet who came up with the line “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” always attributed to Maya Angelou. Coincidentally, Budbili is putting together a book of essays and interviews on the issue of race. He’s also working on a novel he describes as a meditation un “birds, death and identity.” Now that’s versatile. Next thing you know, he’ll be filling in for Scott Simon . . . Heather McGowan’s new novel is about feeling out ol place. A glowing review in Newsweek described Schooling, about a 13-year-old American girl in an English boarding school, as “a moving, challenging, almost bewilderingly beautiful novel.” Turns out McGowan, who grew up overseas and got her masters at Brown, worked on the book in a Burlington office above Seven Days. Landlord and architect Michael Wisniewski recalls, “She worked all the time, and at strange hours.” Hey, whatever it takes . . . Erik Esckilsen has got it, too. After years of juggling jobs, journalism and his first love — fiction writing — the Champlain College prol landed his first book deal in April with Houghton Mifflin. His young-adult novel, titled The Last Mall Rat, is about a group of teenagers who wreak havoc in a local retail arcade. “It’s loosely based on some experiences I imagined when I was a teenager working as a shoe salesman at :hc University Mall,” Esckilsen says. He is currently teaching in Israel and gathering material for his next book . . . Middlebury writer Juiia Alvarez can also do Latin lit for littie ones. An embarrassing aunt is the subject of her latest: How Tia Lola Came to Stay, with the word “Visit” crossed out. It’s about two Latino kids — and their recently divorced mother — trying to fit into a predominantly white community in Vermont. Their cover is blown by a flamboyant aunt who sails m from the Old Country. It’s a lesson in multiculturalism and Spanish. Coffee talkers may be more interested in Alvarez’s forthcoming non-fiction endeavor about the java plantation she and her husband run in the Dominican Republic. . . . The former Soviet Union was not known for its sense of humor,, but a book by a University of Vermont Russian prof looks at the comic side of communism. Kevin McKenna shares a Soviet view of American life in All the Views Fit to Print: Changing Lmages of the U.S. in Pravda IJolitical Cartoons, 1917-1991. The footnotes way outnumber the funnies in t-he 225-page paperback, but a quick flip through assures it’s an entertaining piece of scholarship . . . New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss is diversifying his portfolio. He “made the pic tures” for a kids’ book by Newbery Award-winning author Sharon Creech. A Fine, Fine School, out in August from Harper Collins, will look familiar to Burlingtonians. Bliss used Champlain Elementary, where his 8-year-old son Alex is a student, for inspiration . . . Not all the traditions at Bread Loaf date back to Robert Frost. Like the 6-yearold Bakeiess Nason Literary Prizes that take the pain out of publishing for three promising writers. Every year judges make Cinderella stories of a trio of wannabe authors— in poetry, fiction and non-fiction — by financing their first books. This year they chose two poets — Malinda Markham and Vermont College grad Miranda Field — and gave the fiction category a miss. The creative non-fiction award went to Bill Gruber . . . Archer Mayor tried to write a thriller this year, but scrapped the idea, concluding, “I ain’t no Stephen King.” Come October, fans can expect yet another “police procedural” from Vermont’s premier detective novelist — this one set in a fictional ski resort. Pending, but much more iffy, is a deal with public television to work Mayor into a television mystery series. Finally, the rest of the world may get a clue . ^ ® , . , , „ , _ . _g «

Anna Akhmatova

am standing still, holdingYny old schoolbag in both hands. It was lying at the bottom of the closet in my parents’ house, undisturbed, until a moment ago. Inside the bag is dirt, scraps of paper and an anchor — a book of poems. I can see the outline of the book. I can feel its weight. I never had the right thing to wear to that school. Who did? I remember wishing for uniforms; then we could all complain together about how we couldn’t dress as cool as we wanted. Morgan had that bandana she would use to push her hair back; none of the rest of us could do preppy as well as Morgan. I would describe to my Mom exactly what I needed: “You know, a book bag like everyone uses.” And she would ask me 20 questions to determine exactly what animal we were talking about: OK, canvas, bigger than a backpack, with handles, not straps, no logo on the side, but it had to be from the Gap. Then she would find it somewhere that wasn’t the Gap — far cheaper, but it always looked like exactly what I needed, until it came to school with me and glowed in its obviousness; not the right bag, the seams all wrong, an imitation. Not only was it not cool; it exposed my effort to follow the fashion. Very uncool. The bag always seemed worth finding, but after it failed to reach the standard, I could always go back to being Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre went to a school far worse than this one, with girls abused and neglected by the Victorian headmaster, whipped even, starved. Jane Eyre’s best friend died practically in her arms. I sat on the curb under the flowering trees, the soles of my sneakers rest ing on the delicate grit of the playground, with a book in my hands. I watched the girls laughing loudly on and around the swings, too old to swing, but so cool as to be entitled to occupy them, while the little kids waited. Could I imagine keeping watch beside any of them as they clung to life? A lot of disasters occurred at my school during recess: fires, earthquakes, an invasion of Russians who came marching up to the gates of the school with machine guns over their shoulders. I saved the school, or died trying. One other girl kept to herself; her name was Eleanor. I had trouble fixing her in these daydreams, since she seemed to be neither hero nor victim. She sat alone. We did not catch one another’s eye. If she was saving the world, too, nothing showed on her face, smooth as water. One night my father fell asleep in front of the TV, which was showing a movie called “World War III.” Coming in'to talk with him, I saw a troop of parkawearing terrorists crawling through drifts-of snow toward the unsuspecting town. After that, as I sat at the dining room table with multiplication problems under my hands, a terrorist burst through the window, shatter ing it with the force of a brutal jump and a spray of bro ken glass. In the following days, a lot of terrorists tried to take over the school, masked, rounding up terrified prisoners, except for me. I was in the ceiling, I looked

down through a crack and there was just one classmate — Katherine? Casey? — who looked up. We exchanged a significant look; I prepared my mission: Disarm the terrorists, set them all free. O r die trying. In the words of poet Anna Akhmatova: Sometime let the children read My name in their lesson book, A nd on learning the sad story, Let them smile shyly. .. Since you’ve given me neither love nor peace Grant me bitter glory. Those girls are all gone now. Maybe they have moved on to other places and lives — but from where I stand, they’ve actually disappeared from the Earth, and do not now exist anywhere. Even in my memory, they’re not so much people as little dust storms of looks, words, gestures, things said about them and to them, exchanged as we passed on the stairway, things over heard and seen. Each little storm, about knee-high, wanders tipsily over the plains of that experience, so that if you were to walk through that building, you might encounter one, winding around a corner, or not. Stepping inside the small vortex would be like standing between mirrors: The girl surrounds you, but she’s frac tured, multiplied, and unlike the human being she must have been at some time.

e all waited for the train together in the after noon, except Eleanor, who waited against the fence, watching the rest of the girls in their

leaning back, watching from the other end of the sta tion, her schoolbooks at her feet. I kept my eyes on her, and she seemed to look back for a moment before glancing away as she always did. “Hey, that really is from the Gap,” Casey said. Katherine pulled her paper-backed copy of Evening out of her canvas bag. “Did you guys start this yet?” she asked. Everyone said no. In middle school, starting work before the last possible moment was suspect, so I did not say had been reading it all week. O ur English teacher, Mr. Swan, had assembled an experimental Russian literature unit, which some peo ple’s parents said we were too young for. “Anna Akhmatova lived through some of the worst times in Russian history,” he said in class, pacing up and down with the book in his hand, looking at us from under his heavy eyebrows. “The siege of Leningrad. Political per secution by the Bolsheviks and the Stalinists. Censorship. Her ex-husband executed by the state.” I stared down at Akhmatova’s face on the cover. She had a long, graceful profile, turned slightly away from the camera; she seemed to smile, although her expres sion was gloomy. “As you read these poems, try to think about how she must have been feeling. Try to find places where she talks about the violence, her unhappiness, her fear,” Mr. Swan said. “I want you to imagine feeling this way, and think about how she puts those feelings into words.” Katherine, sitting on the train station’s painted wooden bench, flipped the book up between her hands, tossing it in the afternoon sun. “Her face is so ugly,” Rosemarie said. “Look at the beak on her.” They all reached into their bags, finding their copies.

head the first day I wore it, as if it leaped from my clos et and onto my body. So that you, courageous and wise, Will be seen by them with greater clarity. Perhaps we may leave some gaps In your glorious biography? Then the train came rushing in, blowing dust and litter around our ankles as we put everything back into those cavernous bags, climbing aboard. Akhmatova rode silent in that blue canvas bag, between Social Studies and Earth Science: How many demands the beloved can make! The woman discarded, none. How glad I am that today the water Under the colorless ice is motionless. Looking backward, I can see the six or seven girls roaming up and down the long train platform. They look like girls or, if I approach them, like the little twisters they also are. The one at the end of the plat form is the least substantial. Eleanor. Hers is composed of the fewest pieces — stepping in, I see her skin, her braces, the rubber bands at the ends of her braids, and the rest is shadows, or words only. The words are “had a nervous breakdown.” My homeroom teacher’s voice speaks those words, and gives no more explanation. The teacher stands at the front of the room; she tells us this bulletin, and we are left to absorb it if we can. W hat exactly did it mean? How did it happen, and why? Where did Eleanor go after that? One abrupt day,

At this time of day, I stood with them, listening to their conversation for clues, secret pass words. Sometimes we put our ears to the track, trying to hear the train coming as early as possible; sometimes we balanced pennies on the rails, which would afterwards be flattened. I had a secret fear that pennies would cause the train to derail; but so far, they hadn’t. I was wearing my red sweater, the one that actually did come from the Gap, which I had persuaded my Mom was the heart of the matter. Casey said, “Where’d you get that sweater?” I shrugged and answered, “Oh, I can’t remember. The Gap, I think.” She said, “Turn around.” I turned, obedi ently, and she yanked out the. tag at the back of my col lar. Now that I was facing the other way, I saw Eleanor,

CONGRRTULHTIONS

We contemplated Akhmatova, with her secret look. “I fixed mine,” said Susie, and held hers out — Akhmatova’s nose, with its prominent bump, was flat tened to a pristine line. “How did you do that?” Katherine asked, grabbing it. “Hey, that’s much better!” 4 Someone had whiteout, someone had black ink pens; soon we were passing them among us. First you painted whiteout onto the bridge of her nose. Then you colored in with black pen, making the line of her profile geometrically even. The background of the photo was black, and Akhmatova’s nose emerged straight as a ruler. I wish I could say I hesitated with the pen. But I colored over Akhmatova’s profile with the same eager ness that I pulled that dark red Gap sweater over my

to Amanda Shoemaker of Burlington, for taking top honors in the 2001 Seven Days Emerging Writers Competition, co-sponsored and underwritten by University of Vermont Continuing Education. Her story, “Anna Akhmatova’s Nose,” is printed on these pages. She will also take home a $250 cash prize, proving that writing fiction can pay, however modestly. The runner-up this year is E.K. Narey of Winooski, for her story, “The Last Saturday,” and close behind in third place is John McConnell of Middlesix, for his story, “The Angel.” All three are remarkable tales, beautifully written, and represent the quality and diversity of this year’s entrants — among them enough good writing to buoy our faith in the future of the printed word. We’d like to profusely thank everyone who bravely shared their fiction, and their aspira tions, with us. To you we say: Write on. Last but not least, we extend a warm thanks to those whose collective works remain an inspiration to us all — our esteemed judges:

her storyline went underground. Maybe it continued on a separate plane. But from my point of view, there was no way to understand why her desk was blank, why we would now be one fewer than before. We were told she “had a nervous breakdown,” would not return, and that was all. The next class after that news was Science. There was an electrical socket in front of each stool, down the length of the black lab table; this room smelled like death and antiseptic. I sat with my eyes on the socket, which looked like it was showing its teeth. Jane Eyre sat with little Helen Burns as she coughed, sick with typhoid, or consumption, or whatever she had, and Jane

smuggled her food and solace. I thought, if anything could have saved Eleanor, it could only have been a friend; someone to talk to, walk with from class to class, stand with while waiting on the platform in the after noons. The train in my mind arrived, and left, and we had all climbed aboard; only debris were left in a swirling-tail curled around the legs of Eleanor, who was left waiting for the next train, the bad train. I never saw or heard it coming. We were building models of the solar system, gluing gumballs onto poster board. Vicious Mrs. P., who once sat me under the blackboard and drew a dunce’s cap overhead, handed the gumballs out that afternoon, and gave detentions to those who put them in their mouths while leav ing the classroom at the end of the period. That witch could have supplied something inedi ble, or something edible, but unforbidden; but no. Only sweet candy-shelled gumballs could be planets in her lab room. We paraded back down the hall, down the stairs, to English, our bags piled high on our shoulders, awkwardly weighting down one shoulder, pulling us out of balance, but far cooler than backpacks. I trailed the group, arriving far enough behind them that I had to sit in front, where the change that Mr. Swan jingled in his pockets was loudest. Taking out my book, I remembered about Akhmatova’s face, and put my copy face-down onto the desk. “Ordinary Russians always loved Akhmatova’s poetry — in part because she never left Russia, even though many of her peers fled when the purges and censorship were at their worst,” Mr. Swan said, jingling the change in his pockets. “Akhmat ova stayed, even though she hated what she saw happening in her country. Get out your books,” he said, and began flip ping through his own. He took a deep breath, and declaimed:

Free and open to th e pu blic.

We stared back at him as he stared at us. “In 1946,” he said, “Akhmatovas poetry was banned; the Secretary of the Central Committee had her thrown out of the Writer’s Union, calling her ‘half nun, half harlot.’”

We've strayed into the land o f deceit And we’re repenting bitterly\ Why then are we smiling these Strange and frozen smiles?

away, and banned your poems, and you had nowhere to turn, wouldn’t you leave the country? Why do you think she didn’t?” He glanced down at the copy of Evening on her desk — hers was face-up. He stopped in shock. “W hat happened to her face?” he asked. “We fixed it,” Susie spoke up from the back. “Did you see her nose, before?” Rosemarie asked. Suddenly the whole class came alive, showing the covers of their books; several rows of smooth-nosed Akhmatovas appeared and waved like protest signs, or sunflowers in a field. Mr. Swan looked at each of them in turn, even though they were all the same. “I liked her face before,” he said. “Why did you do that?” The class laughed. “I’m serious!” he said, and we fell silent. He grabbed the book off Casey’s desk, peering at Akhmatova as if she could explain. Then he looked at each of us, as if trying to get someone else to answer. “W hat were you thinking? Don’t you have any respect?” he asked. But it was time for Social Studies, and half the class had already begun pack ing up, putting their books back into bags. Leaving the room, I looked back and saw a piece of his face through the half-open door; he stared after us as if he had seen something terrible.

Eleanor’s absence; I guess he already knew all the gossip from his peers, the teachers. Why would he go for information to us, her classmates? So here I’m left with this inkstained canvas bag, grit and dust in its bottom folds; broken pens; flattened pennies and a copy of Evening that, unlike other schoolbooks, I can’t place any where. The good ones stayed on my shelves; the bad ones just dis appeared. This one can’t be thrown away, and can’t join the other books in my collection. But maybe she should; maybe I should park Akhmatova’s smooth, pointy profile next to Jane Eyre. O r pierce the pages with a chain, and lay it albatross like over my shoulders. The girls are down at the train stop, I can see them from here; they’ve got some books that they’re playing shuffleboard with, prodding them over the grit with their field hockey sticks. There’s A Separate Peace. There’s The Lord o f the Flies, skipping forward, heading for a collision with The Diary o f Anne Frank. One girl is taking a big backswing for Gatsby, who’s floating face down in his pool. Akhmatova’s Evening is lying alone behind them, across the train tracks, just to test what will happen. The train, its wheels made invincible by their flat-penny copper linings, will bisect the poet in a second; its vibrations are moving wavelike down the tracks at this moment, growing in volume and inevitability. ®

had a special speech that I used to give my new per formers, way back when I was managing the greatest freak show ever sold. A little some thing to make them feel happy about their lot in life, especially after an introductory interlude with a fainting woman, or an initial bout with screeching teenage girls, or a maiden run-in with nasty little boys. I admit that it was very hard for the new freaks at first. Many came to us right from their par ents’ rural homes or some staterun asylum, and had little-to-no experience in the barbarous world. Although they joined the show for a variety of valid rea sons — camaraderie, employ ment or escape — the reality of being an outcast on the outside usually came as a shock. We sought out freaks and always took in strays. No ques tions asked. My favorite acqui sition was Nikolas the Seal Boy, whom we adopted after his young m other left him in a trash heap on his first day in the world. An armless, legless infant might be an eyesore for regular folk, but not for us. We saw his potential immediately. Big brown eyes, red hair and smile that would melt your heart if it hadn’t gone stone cold. The craziest thing was his sweet baby smell, which some how never left him. I had to assume, therefore, that it was the presence of growing limbs that made people stink during adoles cence and afterwards. That Boy turned out to be the happiest child I have ever known — normal ones included — because he grew up with dozens of mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers. Each y performer took responsibility for teaching him a skill or a subject or some cute trick. I must say that I taught him my trade pret ty well, too. By the time the Boy was 12, he could speak several languages. The fire-eater taught him Urdu. The Gypsies spoke to him in Spanish. And the Giant con versed with his tiny friend in French. He begged me — in English — for a spot in our freak show, but I was bound by law to wait until he was 16. Come to think of it, that was the only time he

Good Balance is Important to Your Savinas, too!

M an

Good balance is important to saving for your retirement To achieve true balance, all major asset allocation models today show that a significant portion of your retirement savings needs to be in principal-protected plans like fixed annuities. Don’t be confused by savings alternatives that subject your principal to risk. LSW offers a broad choice of tax-favored fixed annuities that provide true principal protection. You can choose from LSW’s traditional fixed annuities which offer guarantees of interest or LSW’s equity-indexed annuities offering the potential for liigjier interest credits. So when you want the peace of mind hat only a truly balanced retirement planning portfolio can give you... think of LSW- a leader in fixed annuities. For more infonnation about how to purchase an LSWannuity; call today:

ized, mouth-operated scooter that our carnies built lor him. He put that damn thing in over drive when audiences arrived, as if he were the side show to the freak show. Until the time was right for his official unveiling, I enlisted him to help me with my speech es. He did the research on Elephant Man, who I used in the introduction to my motiva tional seminar for new freaks. I’d see that Boy in the library trailer every night, pouring over Gray’s Anatomy and Merck’s M anual— pausing to tell me that the Man’s name was, in fact, John Merrick. “Merck. Merrick. Interesting, isn’t it?” he asked, always looking for meaning in a word play. “I see that he suffered from exces sive growths, whereas 1 suffer trom an insufficient amount. We share the same gray matter, though. We all do.” Eventually we crafted my script together, aiming for a mix of profundity and absurdity —honest-to-goodness freak-show material. The stuff meant to make you pause and reflect; the stuff that inspires and haunts in equal measure: Elephant Man was a mis nomer. He didn’t have elephantia sis. He had Proteus Syndrome. Sure, he wanted to be Proteus Man, a sea god who could change his shape at will. But even the right name for his disease was a misnomer. (Boy must have used that word, “misnomer,” a dozen times a day, along with “oxy moron.” He was the self-appoint ed grammar police, eavesdrop ping around every corner of the compound and correcting us at every turn.) Elephant Man didn’t much care for the fact that people wanted to look at him. He couldn’t really even look in the mirror. What the freak show did was give him friends — a rare commodity when

your head’s the size o f a watermelon. As you may know, he studied medicine and law when he wasn’t scaring little British children to tears. He wanted to understand the

human condition, not just his. Ereud told him that he was just the monster people needed. The world made sense with ugliness in its rightful place. (Boy loved that last line, and took full credit every time I said it.) The Elephant Mans last request was to have physicians make his insides public. So the public could see that he had the same heart, lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys as everyone else. (That was the piece de resistance, according to the Boy, who closely identified with the Man.) You will meet people who will gape. You will see those who can’t stop staring. You will fin d that the worst o f humanity plagues its most beautiful people. (I didn’t want to pur that in, but the Boy insist ed.) It’s God’s divine oxymoron. (His words, not mine.) The out side never matches the inside and vice versa. You are the chosen ones. The virtuous people. (Boy truly felt blessed, so I gave him free rein here.) Can you imagine i f we had a window to the innards o f our visi tors! Their hearts would be twist ed. Their brains rotted by egotism. (He was good, that Boy. I was surprised by the use of “innards,” but he thought it would appeal to the uneducated.) Sometimes I even let him have the last word. Then, the Giant would lift him high above our heads. And there the Boy would pause for effect, until the tent was absolutely still. Everyone would quiver with anticipation, mesmerized by his pure and sparkling eyes. But only when he was good and ready would that wisp of a boy deliver the denouement— his term, of course — with all the passion and conviction of a grown man: One day, freak shows will have another name! A nd they’ll be for people with elephantiasis o f the soul! *' . - r; • * *.• *■- ® * x

hen Vladimir Tatlin designed his fabulous, impossible Monument to the Third International in 1920, he probably wasn’t think ing “This will never work.” He was thinking about what could be. But the spiral, gyrating build ing — intended to be the world's largest structure as well as an unparalleled engineering feat — never existed beyond a 22-foothigh model. You might say it was a virtual building. That was inspiration enough for a writer in Bristol, Vermont, some 80 years later, to make Tatlin the namesake for a “virtu al” project of his own: an online literary magazine. John Rubins launched www.tatlinstower.com nearly a year ago, with the inten tion of creating a forum for new, interesting and often experimen tal writing. Rubins’ cyberjournal thus subtly honors a visionary Russian artist, architect and founder of Constructivism while positing Tatlin’s impossible dream as a metaphor for publish ing fiction. After all, the project is on the Web rather than in

print for a very real reason: low overhead. Come to think of it, Tatlin’s Tower might also be con sidered a metaphor for the inconsummate act of writing itself. This all begins to make sense when you learn that John Rubins, now 35, got his first degree in architecture, from Washington University in St. Louis. Middlebury writer Christopher Shaw — an avid Tatlin’s Tower fan — declares that Rubins “brings his structural and design background into his appreciation for literature and his decisions as an editor.” While that cross-modality thinking is hard to explain, Rubins acknowledges that one field can inform another. “In design school I learned to appre ciate how all sorts of things are made, how built things begin to get meaning,” he offers. And in a story, “structure” is important to him. “Some editors might be more interested in language, but I’m more interested in language as it serves the whole of the story and the emotion of the response the writer is trying to elicit,” he says. “I’m not sure how design did that. In my own writing, a

lot of friends will say they believe my work is very structural.” Writers are more accustomed to terms like “voice,” and in the Tatlin’s Tower manifesto, Rubins makes it clear he’s looking for fresh and uniquely engaging work. Inherently, the Web seems to attract writers of edgier, usual ly shorter fiction — the unsub stantiated assumption being that Internet users may be on the young side. Rubins admits he’s “a sucker” for experimental literary efforts, but when it comes to fundamental standards for writ ing, he sounds a lot like your high school English teacher. “My primary bias is for stuff with plot, conflict and resolution,” he says, “First and foremost, it has to be interesting. A lot of writers get caught up in craft, expression and style and forget the basic rea son they’re doing this,” he adds. “It’s entertainment, ultimately.” On the other hand, you can write a perfectly good story, but it may be like too many others writ ten on the same subject, he notes. Therein lies yet another challenge to putting sentences together.

An excerpt from:

“Outside the Holy Garden” Tatlin’s Tower, February 2001 B y K ay B y e r s elieve? Interesting you should ask that. People come in this shop, most of them still out of their heads, ecstatic, if you want to call it that. Belief is a given here. We don’t discuss it much, and in fact you are only the second person ever to straight out ask me about mine. The customers don’t ask, you know. Whatever spell it is comes over them up there at Berenice’s place, the Holy Garden they call it now, that spell of believing clings to them like a fog when they come in here, and they just see me, see the whole store, through that fog, like we re blurry figures in it, like we’re part of it. I suppose you heard the story. If you haven’t, we’ve got brochures about it in that rack over there. It’s been a year now since Berenice was struck down there, in her garden, right so she crushed all the rhubarb, and there was a great beam of light came over her, and in the light was the Virgin Mary. People saw it. People are still seeing it, lots of people, driving here from all over. We got cars going by from Alabama, Tennessee, Iowa, Arizona, South Dakota. Connecticut, even, and Canada, headed up the hill toward Berenice’s garden, where Berenice gets her visions. The Virgin Mary speaks to her from the beam of light, and sometimes even Jesus Himself will put in an appearance. Folks come to stare up into the sun, or at the shape of the clouds, trying to get some visions for themselves, or else they gather r#und Berenice and listen to her tell what the Virgin has to say. Some say Berenice’s rhubarb now has mysterious healing powers. It’s why our rhubarb pie is such a big seller, though it’s only made from regular grocery store rhubarb. We sell a good number of them every week, $2.25 for a slice, our most popular item due to what Mr. Vascoe always called “subliminal associa tion.” Mr. Vascoe also told me in confidence that if you charge a higher price for something, people will be more apt to buy it because they believe it to be better than average; but strangely, if you pile a bunch of things in a big barrel and put “final clear ance” on it, people will go after that too, sure that they’re get ting a great bargain. Basically, people will believe whatever you tell them, is the point he was getting at, and I believe he knew what he was talking about. This store was Mr. Vascoe’s baby. All the traffic started com ing through here on Route 22, once the word got out about Berenice’s garden, and Mr. Vascoe had a little gas station here, a little garage, not even a snack counter, just one pop machine, but he saw all those cars from all over the country, and he knew that, was a sign for him to do something different, something special. W hat Mr. Vascoe believed in, some folks would say, was the Lord Almighty Dollar. He believed that Berenice’s miracles were a miracle for him too, in another way. When he hired me, Mr. Vascoe said, “We are here to serve our customers. W hat they believe, we believe, as long as the sign out there says open. O ur opinions don’t sell the merchan dise.” I thought that was a very wise thing. I kept it in my mind for a long time. I would look about the shop and say to myself, “If I believed with all my heart that I had just had com munion with.,the Holy Virgin, what would I most like to take home as a remembrance? Would I like a little gold-plate angel to pin on my collar? Would I like a hologram picture of Jesus with His eyes open and closed, open and closed? After rubbing the dirt from Berenice’s garden all over my face and my hands, would I be thirsty?” They do that, you know. If you go up there you’ll see them, putting it in their hair to cure headaches, pack ing little aspirin bottles full of it to take home to their ailing friends. They’re not supposed to carry anything off the property, but they do, I’ve seen the little bottles peeking out of their purs es, out of jacket pockets. I’ve seen people come in here with muddy clay stuck to the hairs of their eyebrows. But its not my job to judge them; once they set foot in the door here they’re customers. (7)

Tatlins Tower — with a tongue-in-cheek tagline, “curi ously strong fiction” —- has three features at a time and is changed the first Thursday of each month. The current “issue,” for example, includes a short story, case histories from “the Kafkaesque world of literary magazine submission,” and book reviews. The features are archived, as is a section for rec ommended reading. , The sites bold, simple design and colors — red, blue and pale yellow — also speak to Rubins’ aesthetic sensibility; it’s accessi ble, mildly quirky and as easy to read as electronic copy can be. The bottom of the home page also prominently displays a glow ing accolade from the Missouri Review’s Best of Web: Tatlins Tower “is not only exciting and creative,” it reads, “but also innovative and boundary-bend ing.” Rubins clearly enjoys talking about and being surrounded by writing, and he has ample opportunity: His wife, Jodee Rubins, is the full-time manag ing editor of the New England Review, a well-endowed print journal published by Middlebury College. In fact, he’s a reader fo r NER, and she helps him with Tatlins — “She’ll read if I’m on the fence,” John says. The pair’s jobs make for a relentlessly liter ary household. ' Actually, only Jodee, 31, could rightfully be said to have a job — the pay for Tatlins Tower is zip. “If we ever have g. funding, the writers will be the first to get paid,” promises John, who proudly points out he started his Web site with “free ware” and taught himself html coding. The couple, who met in an MFA program at Boston’s Emerson College, are “slowly chipping away at stu dent loans.” For now, they count themselves lucky that one income suffices for two. Correction: three. Bridget Rubins arrived seven months ago, introducing a delightfully down-to-earth — and, for a while, non-verbal — element to the language-loving family. This is okay by dad, whose work basi cally comes to him at home. “I do a fair amount of work on weekends because I can get a bigger block of time,” says John. He guesses he spends, in bits and pieces, about 10 hours a week on Tatlins Tower, which includes reading an average of 20 submis sions a month. To get started, John listed the site on several search engines and advertised in a literary print magazine; Now writers — and readers — from all over the globe seem to have no trouble finding the Tower. Or any of the other many online ’zines he scans each week. And his own writing? “That tends to be late at night,” he says, with an affec tionate nod at Bridget. Jodee admits she’s a little envious of her husband. “I

would like to be able to stay home with the baby, but I like my job, too,” she says. “Its working out for us. The fact that I get to stay home for a few hours in the morning helps.” The 23-year-old NER, whose executive editor is Middlebury prof Stephen Donadio, is obviously a more traditional, and academic, liter ary institution. It receives some 4000 submissions annually, says Jodee, and the poetry, fiction and non-fiction it prints are high-quality and intellectual. Though she claims NER is open to new contributors, the writer bios in a recent issue suggest that most of them are wellestablished already. At Tatliris Tower, on the other hand, the submissions guidelines warn firmly, “Don’t bother listing your credits.” John Rubins doesn’t care who, or how accomplished, his writers are —

W JInl.W .IM M John Rubins provided the work is good. “It’s not that people shouldn’t be proud of their accomplishments, but that should not be the rea son for their acceptance,” he says. Even if his writers are below the literary radar, John is “astounded” at the quality of the submissions. The world-shrink ing aspect of the Web continues to amaze as well. “A print jour nal couldn’t hope to have inter national readers in its first year,” he exclaims, Another difference between the Rubins’ respective journals is that, unlike the New England Review, Tatlins accepts only fic tion. In fact, John Rubins seems to be out to champion short work. “The short story can have a larger audience,” he insists. No problem if it plays around, h la Vladimir Tatlin, with structure. “Experimental fiction helps fuel the fiction that is going to come later,” he suggests, “in 10 or 20 years.” (Z)

B y E rnie M c L eod o you want to be a fiction writer? Hahahahahahahahahaha. Oops, sorry. You really want to be a fiction writer. Besides, I wasn’t laughing at you, but rather with you. For being a fiction writer is a pretty absurd business, as I’ve all too painfully discovered. There are, of course, those who send their first story to The New Yorker and have it accepted, book deal to follow. Then there are the rest of us. My urge to write fiction began long ago, when I first started seriously reading it in col lege. But, since I was in architec ture school, dashing off stories wasn’t part of the legitimate aca demic plan. My.writerly yearn ings were transgressive, which made them all the more appeal ing and intense. Instead of work ing on floor plans, I’d stay up all night reading fiction, dreaming that one day I too might inspire someone to lose sleep and neglect duties in order to submerge themselves in my created world. Like many of my youthful yearn ings, my fictive ones got put on a way-back burner while I pursued my prescribed life plan. Then I decided to take some writing workshops at what was then the University of Vermont’s Church Street Center. To my shock, my instructor and some of my classmates .responded with enthusiasm to what I’d written. One person seemed actually moved by a detail I’d rendered involving spilled cranberry sauce in a car trunk. After class I was so revved up I raced back to my apartment to reconsider my future and drink vodka in the dark. Next thing I knew, my “real” career was moving to the back burner, and I was pursuing my writing dreams in art MFA pjo- ’ gram. Here, .crafting fiction became my focus and my calling. Feelings of legitimacy washed over me. My fictive future was so bright, I’d have to wear shades.

Mentors assured me my stories would find their way into prinf u “soon.” : -v: -v,i After my graduation reading, one fellow student exclaimed, “I • laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats!”I chose to take this as a compliment. Another fellow ‘V student grandiosely predicted my imminent fame and fortune. Semi-well-known poets vigorous--/ ly hugged me. Who was I to f.i-T argue? The first cloud passed over TT. my authorial sun when, MFA accolades and diploma filed away, I sat down alone to write. V Who was In citing lor now? No classmates or mentors were wait ing for me to produce. Friends weren’t begging to see my stories. My parents were proud of my MFA success, but their inquiries reverted to the now part-time career that barely paid the rent, not to mention the school loans. Staring down a blank computer screen, with my thesis stories quickly gathering dust in a cor ner, I could hear the big balloons of legitimacy deflating above my head. So I took the next logical step: I scrubbed down and dressed up the little darlings and sent them out into the literary world to be embraced. As soon as I was published I’d feel legit again. Then, when strangers asked what I did, I could say > . ’ without mumbling, “I’m a writer.” Their second question, inevitably, is: “Have you gotten published yet?” Now all I had to do was wait for the good news to arrive. At the end of each of my cover letters, I cheerfully wrote, “Looking forward to your reply!” Before long the mailbox did . indeed fill with news. But it wasn’t the rosy k in d f’d planned for. Oh, there was a nugget of encouragement here, a notice that I was a finalist there, but for. the most part the news was deliv ered in the form of a small scrap of paper imprinted with the logoof a magazine and followed by a brief, not terribly personal mes-

Any writer who has accu mulated a stash will recognize these trite phrases: “careful con sideration,” “your work does not meet our current editorial needs,” “we apologize for this form reply, however,” “best of luck placing your manuscript else where,” “thank you again for submitting it to us.” Sometimes they generously include subscription forms so that you can purchase a year’s sup ply of magazines in which you will not appear. One notch up is A the form rejection with something miraculously handscrawled on it, forcing the rejected writer’s hopes and interpretive skills into overdrive. What is the deeper meaning of “Thanks!” or “Try us again!” when punctuated with exclamation points? Does “Sorry!” mean the editor regretfully couldn’t accept this good story, or that this story wasn’t good? The ambiguity can torment a writer, and it can keep him going. After a string of form rejections, a simple “we enjoyed it,” double-underlined, can seem like victory. Until you realize the story is still unambiguously unpublished.

continued from page 19a they never wanted to write. Because who cares about writers, anyway? Nobody reads fiction anymore, unless its Oprah-sanc tioned, and, if no two-bit lit rag has yet recognized your vast tal ents, what hope is there o f being discovered by the almighty O? Then you get a call from someone who likes your story, really likes your story, and means to publish it sometime within the next decade. No money, of course, or very little, but there are two complimentary copies of the issue in which you will — at last! — make your stunning debut. Hell, gotta start some where. Your name will appear in print. Someone who doesn’t know you might actually read your story. It might even move them, as you were once moved by fiction before cynicism made you functionally illiterate. You pull the laptop out o f the trash, brush it off and begin again. nd so my desultory writ ing life has continued, with some small publish ing successes, the odd call from interested agents, the occasional compliment from a reader who’s found my work. Then there’s that Great American Novel whose first chapter I’ve been busily rewrit ing for several years. The main change in my recent writing life is that I’ve looked at the slush pile from both sides now. As a reader of manuscripts for The New England Review, and as a member of the admis sions board for the Breadloaf Writers’ Conference, I have become one of the anony mous gods, albeit one with limit ed powers. My sole power when reading for the Review is to pass a story on to the managing edi tor, or to form-reject it, adding “thanks” if I so choose. The Breadloaf review process is more intricate, involving appli cants at different career stages, some applying for talent-based financial aid, some not. Along with three other prose readers, I review the suitability of candi dates along various criteria and offer recommendations. After reading thousands of hopeful manuscripts, I can hon estly say there is no sadistic thrill in rejecting any writer. Since I thought that there might be, this proved disappointing, making it more difficult to brand those who have rejected me as gleeful Satans.

Some o f the manuscripts I’ve read have, frankly, sucked. A latger percentage has been, at the very least, competent. Then there are those that, while imperfect and perhaps unpublishable, have that certain hard-to-define something. And there’s the rare one that com pletely blows my socks off. Though I attempt to read each manuscript with an open mind, it doesn’t always work Maybe the weather has bee dreary for a week. Maybe the caf feine has worn off. Maybe the neighbor is using his chainsaw again. Maybe I’m just bitchy or stupid that day. Certain pet peeves edge a manuscript quickly towards the reject pile: cover let ters that describe the work in great detail or tell me how much I’m going to enjoy it; spelling or grammatical errors; gross stains on the pages; rampant use of capital letters and underlining for effect; use o f the phrase “shitting bricks.” It’s all subjective. I’ve encountered as-yetunsung writers who, if they keep at it, will produce work that will keep people up at night. Some of them have come to Breadloaf as near-beginners and returned a few years later with their first great book in hand. These are the writers who intimidate me great ly but inspire me to work harder.

I only hate them a little bit. The weirdest thing about reviewing tons of manuscripts? I get to tap into the Zeitgeist and learn what’s on writers’ minds. Each year seems to have its sub ject. One year it was handi capped dwarves. Another, road kill was a literal smash. This past winter testicular cancer, with its inevitable Dixie-cup-in-a-doctor’s-porn-closet detail, invaded enough manuscripts to fuel my tendencies toward hypochondria. All o f which is to say: It takes — forgive me — balls to keep writing in a literary world where rejection is the norm and recognition the exception. But somebody has to do it. And, when writing becomes less painful than brooding about why I’m not writing, I’m sure it will be me. ®

f you ignore Ignoring Binky: The Life and Times o f Victor Evertor— a comic book with a not-so-funny message — you’ll miss a rigorous romp through a most ridiculous American dream. “Binky” is a metaphor for conscience and capacity for love, both of which are sorely lacking in the character of Victor Evertor, who turns a bad childhood into a megalomaniacal multinational corporation. An unsubtle attack on the capitalist machine, Ignoring Binky is the brainchild of multimedia artist Beverly Red and soci ologist Mitch Hall, a Vergennes couple who share deep concerns about the future of the planet and its inhabitants. Like many environmentalists, they’ve spent a lot of energy trying to understand the enemy. What makes Bill Gates tick? What drives Donald Trump? Their conversations led to research — Hall noted they read “everything they could” on the subject, from childrearing guides to biographies of CEOs — and eventually to a book chroni cling the long and winding road to narcis sistic character disorder. A cording to its authors, Ignoring Binky connects the dots between “personal pathology and the plight of the planet.” Red and Hall say their self-published book is written for cultural watchers, students, teachers and environmentalists and that it will appeal “to all those who question multinational excesses and the growing gap between rich and poor.” In the story they have imagined, life begins for Victor Evertor — whose name is a variant of the Latin, eversor, meaning subvertor or destroyer — in an antiseptic 1940s hospital, where he’s brutally yanked

from his mother with forceps. He’s then raised “following the latest concepts in child rearing,” which include bottle feed ing, spanking, strict discipline and very lit tle nurturing. The invisible “friend” Binky, who looks like a cross between the Michelin Man and a moon-faced alien, tries to comfort Victor while his parents watch television and chain smoke. Binky might be compared to a favorite child hood blanket or pacifier, but as Victor grows older, Binky’s compassion is ignored — hence the title. When Victor eventually attends Pointless University, a military academy in Vermont that specializes in hazing, he’s

women’s liberation movement begins. The death of Victor’s emotionally cold mother finds him remembering what a “fine woman” she was, with “a kind word for everyone.” His brother Michael returns from the Vietnam War with nothing nice to say about the American military — or just about anything else. “We’re burning villages, killing women and children and mainlining drugs,” he tells Victor. “You know, the usual.” The brothers take separate paths to self-destruction. While Victor grapples with the stock market, Michael struggles with the drug trade. Each finds a panacea. Michael attends a peace lecture by

rageous comedy with serious social criti cism.” „ ik .» But Ignoring Binky doesn’t just poke fun at the creation of a corporate monster. It sends up six decades of uniquely American cultural blunders. Red’s playful, detailed drawings fuel the farcical com mentary and momentum. The book is most potent when the pictures speak for themselves — such as when Victor’s father uses the rod on his child; when Victor and Mary are silent in pseudo-domestic bliss; and when various characters are numbing out on alcohol, drugs or excessive exercise. Perhaps the greatest treasure of this slim paperbook comes at the finish, in the

Ignoring Binky doesn’t just poke fun at the creation of a corporate monster. It sends up six decades of Cniquel^meNcatTcuTtum taught “followship is the first step to lead ership.” And when he’s caught plagiariz ing, he argues that people don’t need their own ideas. “Sir,” he tells the teacher, “the point is to acquire the best innovations and then use advertising to outmaneuver and crush the competition.” After graduation, Victor takes a public relations job with MBI, a computer firm, and elopes with his girlfriend Mary. Together, they embark on a life of greed, denial and ignoring Binky. Mary, however, develops reservations and attends a women’s support group just as the

Vietnamese Buddhist Monk “Thich Tahc Toh.” Victor takes comfort in hostile takeovers. Meanwhile, Mary bears three daughters who are ignored by their father. The sonless Victor eventually leaves Mary for a woman half his age. While it many sound overly serious, if not tedious, this comic book is chock-full of comic relief. On the books jacket, Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History o f the United States, applauds Ignoring Binky as “a delightfully imaginative story about corporate greed told through the experiences of one mogul, combining out

Victor says, “Youll be hear ing from my lawyers.” Michael offers no comment. Mary declares, “Well it was nice of you to include a womans point o f view in the story, but it wasn’t developed. Like, I mean, I’m not as stupid as you made me out to be.” For his part, Binky cautions, “Never doubt that a small group o f thoughtless, resolute CEOs can change the world; indeed, it already has.” (7)

They share a bed in a Boston hotel with out having intercourse, but Irving can’t resist a passing gratuitous thought: “They might have woken up before dawn and made intense fove in the semidarkness.”

Patrick’s emptiness is the issue, of course, but this should not drain the nar rative of its logical forward movement. Deprived of an organic flow, he lurches through situations that are tenuously linked together. There is a sense of clumsy manipulation rather than ia seamless con tinuum. A Widow for One Year, Irving’s last novel, zips all over the planet and fre quently changes pace, yet never discon nects. Two Fourth Hand characters do main tain continuity, even if they stop short of becoming fully im agift^ human beings. The calculating Mary Shanahan assumes a

villainous role and, for a brief time, is the only female colleague at the TV network who has not copulated with Patrick. She’s yet another aggressive babe lusting for him. Doris Clausen is the Wisconsin woman who donates the left hand of her recently deceased husband, Otto, to the transplant cause. The problem with this gift, from Patrick’s point of view, is that shes still too attached to it. In some mysti cal way, Otto lives on for her through the merging of his body part with another man’s arm. This is a wave of the magic-realism wand for Irving — Patrick even has a medication-induced dream about Doris long before he knows she exists — and possibly the most riveting concept in an entire saga concerned with the workings of kismet. But sperm is the true goal for Doris, a passionate football fan. Childless through out her many years with Otto, she now wants offspring. The twist? After instigat ing a quick coupling that is purely prag matic for her but mind-blowing for Patrick, she has no further desire for him. So, naturally, he is smitten by the mysteri ous, apparently psychic, remote and unat tainable Doris. Unfortunately, that’s as far as Irving goes in trying to understand this sphinx. Patrick attempts to solve the puzzle of Doris Clausen by scrutinizing a book that means a lot to her, Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient. Children’s stories by E. B. White, Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little, are also woven into the vastly complicated yarn. There’s nothing wrong with one writer paying homage to another, but Irving’s extensive exploration of these books could be considered a lazy way to lend substance to his own, far less corripelling fiction. (7)

Behind the Screen 4 4 ^ ^ * he moral arbiters who hold screenwriters accountable are journalists and politi cians,” John Irving proclaimed during a panel discussion on sex and violence in the movies at the recent Lake Placid Film Forum. This particular journalist was surprised when, a few moments later, the acclaimed Dorset author jp, tossed in an apparent non sequitur. “In the 35 seconds I had to accept the Oscar, I mentioned abortion twice — two more times than Gore or Lieberman ever did in their campaign.” Irving was talking about the best-screenplay Oscar he won in late March for adapting his own 1985 book, The Cider House Rules. In both, Dr. Wilbur Larch and his orphan protege Homer Wells perform abortions at a time when they were still against thfdaw. The novel and film also trace the'fortunes of Mr. Rose, an itinerant agricultur al worker who sexually abus es his own daughter. “I feel that a contempo rary novel can’t be sexual or violent enough,” Irving sug gested in what seemed like an entreaty to follow the Zeitgeist. But in the film ver sion of Cider House, he and director Lasse Halstrom chose to downplay the graphic details. “If you don’t have sympathy for the man who commits incest or the doctor who performs abortions, the whole story falls apart,” Irving said. “So we softened Larch and Rose.” • The purpose of this softening and a few con cessions to censorship was to convince the largest possible audience that abortions should remain legal, he added. “We wanted a PG-13 rating. W hat did it matter if we saw 15 seconds less of Charlize'Theron’s breasts?” Theron plays the beauty who helps Homer leave-the orphanage, a decision that stems largely "* frorn his amhiyalence about abortion. Irving went on to defend Other-“softening” ' choices. “The audience would have been furious; ^£fa ,12-year-old girl dies from an abortion,” as she does in'the book,, “so we chose,a girl who didn’t look too young. That’s not censorship. T hat’s common sense.” Naturally, Miramax did not market Cider House as a pro-choice flick. In fact, the television ads offered a rapid montage of romantic snippets and not a single hint that the film had some thing serious to convey. The panel — assembled under the title of “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang: Sex and Violence in the Movies” — included fellow novelists Russell Banks, who wrote Affliction, and Francine Prose, author of Household Saints. In addition, there was a pair of screenwriters: moderator Tom Topor, of The Accused, and a guy with unim peachable “kiss kiss, bang bang” credentials: Shane Black, of Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout fame. Other than Banks, who is adapting Jack Kerouac’s On the Road tor the big screen, most of the participants had silly things to say. None of them really addressed the issue of integrity, although that was an unspoken conundrum in Irving’s comments. Must writers and filmmakers inevitably sacrifice their vision at the altar of commercial success? Whether derived from fact or fiction, even the most faithful feature is required- to find ^ays to dramatize its subject matter as a form of entertainment. - ; A This was the topic of a much more satisfy•ing and less selfrs.etving gabfest that had taken place earlier at the five-day .eventTl^^fe;?.y/ ? Adirondacks. “Real to Reel: W hen Does Creativity Become a Lie?” brought together New York Times critic Elvis Mitchell, directors

Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry), Raoul Peck (Lumumba) and Norman Jewison (Moonstruck), as well as documentarian George Butler ( The Endurance). “The truth is a moving target when you deal with people who are still alive,” said Jewison, who came under fire two years ago for using poetic license in telling the life story of boxer Rubin Carter in The Hurricane. “I was blind sided. I should have followed William Goldman’s advice: ‘Wait until they’re all dead.’” Butler’s Endurance chronkfcs a 1914 expedi tion to Antarctica undertakenbya party of 27 adventurers led by Ernest Shackleton. Their epic journey met with disaster after disaster, although all the explor ers survived. “The race is now on to see who can make the first Hollywood movie about this episode,” Butler explained. “It’s a Wolfgang Peterson and Mel Gibson motion picture versus a Kenneth Branagh mini-series. Shackleton and his men ate their sled dogs after 600-plus days of being stranded. In Peterson’s ver sion, they save a puppy.” Everybody roared with laugh ter at the notion of such a cud dly, feel-good ending. “The tri umph of the human spirit is very important in telling a story,” Jewison said. “When it ends in tragedy, however, it can be diffi cult but much more meaningful.,”. The meaningful tragedy of my Lake Placid Film Forum experience snaked back to John Irving. At a question-and-answer session follow ing a screening of The Cider House Rules, I made what seemed to me a perfectly respectable jour- * nalistic inquiry: “Do you agree with critics who wrote that the movie was ‘sunny’ in comparison with t-he darker, more Dickensian feel of the book?” Irving’s, reply Was measured at first. “In' a book, you have all the time in the world to ’make up your mind about the characters. I have no fear of assaulting a. reader. A good reader will think my intentions, in the end, are, redemptive: Ids’a polemical story. I’m trying to persuade you of something. With a film, you have to be care ful. The visual images are so strong, people make up their minds like that!” he said, snapping his. fingers for emphasis.. Then, his indignation apparently building, Irving lashed out. “It’s disingenuous to call it sunnier. That’s just another way of saying you didn’t like it. If you think it’s sunny, you’re a fool!” The crowd in the theater turned to .look at me with either pity or fury, I couldn’t tell which. I thought this horribly unfair. He must have been speaking rhetorically. Not that he’d know, but I never even reviewed Cider House Rules. Irving continued. “Suppose I had left in the scene of Fuzzy Stone upset by the picture of a woman with a pony’s penis her mouth? Some critics who now call it sunny would have written about nothing else. Am I saying film critics are stupider than book critics? Yes.” Now the audience appeared to be watching me for signs of rampant stupidity. After leaving the stage, Irving walked along the aisle toward the exit but stopped next to me. He grabbed my hand, as if to say, “Sorry.” Or maybe it was: “Diss my movies again and I’ll break every bone in your body.” , •••'. Irving had announced that he’ll begin tack ling a script based on his new novel, The Fourth Hand, later this summer. Miramax is on hoard again, as is Lasse Halstrom, to. whom the b.oQk is dedicated. This arrangement migljt not be sunny, but it sure is cozy. • — S.G.

• Philip Baruth, Burlington nov elist, University of Vermont English professor and Vermont Public Radio commentator: “For no apparent reason, I picked up an Edith W harton book from the shelf two months ago and got completely hooked on her. She’s like Jane Austen, but with really long, manicured claws. I’ve read The House o f Mirth, The Age o f Innocence and Custom o f the Country. Next up: Joe Citro’s chiller, DEUS-X.” • Chris Bohjalian, Oprahendorsed novelist in Lincoln, whose new book The Buffalo Soldier is due o.ut this spring: “I just finished John Irving’s new novel, The Fourth Hand, which was terrific, as well as Paul Kafka-Gibbon’s novel, DuPont Circle, about a gay couple whose 'joint income tax return — and thus their marriage — is chal lenged by the IRS. Also on the list are Philip Roth’s The Human Stain, Tizian Terzani’s A FortuneTeller Told Me and Elizabeth McCracken’s Niagara Falls All Over Again. ” • David Corcoran, editor of The New York Times Special Sections'. “I keep in my wallet a list of books I might want to remember to read, if I ever get time to read a book. It includes: Revolutionary Road, by Richard Yates, suppos edly one of the finest under-read novels about suburban life, by a guy who died in the 1980s but whose work has been compared with Cheever and Richard Ford. David Nasaw’s new biography of William Randolph Hearst. The House o f Mirth, by Edith Wharton. A Pitcher’s Story, by Roger Angell, about David Cone’s horrendous 2000 season. House o f Sand and Fog, by Andre Dubus III.” • Erik Esckilsen, Burlington novelist and instructor at Champlain College, currently spending the summer in Israel: “I’m struggling through a turgid but informative guidebook to holy sites in the Middle East — it’s research for a novel I’m try ing to write about an American high school trip to that goes hor ribly awry. To offset that dry travelogue, I’m reading Dispatches, Michael Herr’s protogonzo-journalist book about cov ering the Vietnam War. T hat’s the second Vietnam book on the summer reading list, the first being Tim O ’Brien’s The Things They Carried, which I read because he’s going to visit Champlain College in the fall. I also just finished a nice youngadult book by Naomi Shihab Nye called Habibi — it’s one of my favorite words, a term of endearment in Arabic and also modern Hebrew (I’m pretty sure). Try it: ‘Hasta la vista, Habibi.’” • William Folmar, owner of Waterfront Video in Burlington and Middlebury: “I’m just about

to start Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, because a friend just re read it and said it seems as rele vant as ever. However, with our new President determined to ignore all scientific evidence about the environment — even when submitted by members of his own administration — it might be too depressing a read. On the other hand, my friend indicated that there is cause for optimism in the book because we have avoided some of the worstcase scenarios Carson described over 30 years ago.” • Samantha Hunt, Brooklynbased writer and artist: “This summer I plan on reading The Pharmacist’s Mate, by Amy Fusselman. It’s a story of a young woman thinking about life, death and her father’s journal from back when he was a sailor. Two other very good ones I just finished are Italo Calvino’s I f On a Winter’s Night a Traveler and George Perec’s A Void, a mystery in which no words with the letter “e” appear.” • Nora Jacobson, independent filmmaker in Norwich: “ The Old American, by Ernest Hebert. It’s a historical novel about the French-Indian wars and takes place in New England and Quebec. The main character is a Native American, who is reflect ing on where we live, but from a different era. It’s written in con temporary fashion from an old American point of view.” • Blake Maher, Burlington writer and editor: “E.M Forster, Collected Stories. I love the ele gance and grace of his writing, the timelessness; sometimes after reading a lot of contemporary fiction I find it revitalizing to read writing by one of the mas ters. Irish Fiction, edited by Colm Toibin, an anthology of Irish writing. I love the contrast of humor and gloom of Irish cul ture, the search for hope in sad ness, and the desire to survive. Singing Boy, by Dennis McFarland. I’ve read other stuff by him that I like; plus, someone gave it to me — a free read!” • Jessica Oski, Burlington caterer and lawyer: “ Three Apples Fell From Heaven, by Micheline Aharonian Marcom. It’s a novel, set in World War I, about the Armenian genocide. The story is told from a number of perspec tives. My grandparents fled Armenia in 1917, in the midst of the Turkish government’s unspeakably brutal campaign of terror and murder against the Armenian people.” • Ken Peck, Charlotte film scholar and screenwriter: “I like mysteries set in Vermont and have read all the Archer Mayor books. Presently reading Don Bredes’ Cold Comfort, a murder mystery set in the Northeast Kingdom. I plan to reread Bellow Falls, by Mayor — the first of his books I read years ago — and Black Betty, by Walter Mosley, in the coming months.” (Z)

These fares are often outof-the-ordinary because the cliche is true: The rich are differ ent. In the ’80s, a couple of years before Dinah Shore passed away, she arrived on a Lear jet, and I transported her to a charity golf tournament at Sugarbush. I found her warm and generous; it was a pleasure to meet a celebrity whose personality — at least as she interacted with a peon like myself — seemed to match her sunny public image. It was a relief to have my cotton-candy illusions preserved. Out of the terminal charged a man in a charcoal suit and maraschino cherryred tie. He carried a golf bag slung over his left shoulder, and held an attache case in his right hand. “Greetings, Mr. Taylor,” I said, moving forward to meet him. “I’m here to take you to the Basin Harbor Club. Can I help you with — ” “That’s great. Great!” he interjected, as he swung open the rear door and Hung his golf bag onto the seat. “What’s the E.T.A. to Basin Harbor?” he asked, vaulting into the front seat with the case at his feet. I considered his question as I hustled around the vehicle and dropped into the driver’s seat. I put the taxi into drive, glanced at the clock, and was just about to respond when he rephrased the query. “You know what I mean, right? When will we get to the lodge?” “Sir, I fully comprehend your question. I was just trying to fig ure it out for you. Let’s see, I think were lookin’ at 7:45, 10 to 8, maybe.” “Well, how about this?” he said. “I’m not a cop, a sheriff or an FBI agent. You can cruise as fast as you want. Really book it.” He looked at me as if trying to smile in a friendly, encourag ing way, but it came off more as a smirk. “Look,” I replied. “I’m a cab driver. I know how to move down the road. Do you have, like, an appointment down there that you’re try’na make?” I fig ured his plane must have been too big to land on the Basin Harbor airstrip.

Card Tricks

The exciting conclusion.

ur story so far: After watching her jolly and provocative commercials hundreds of times oh television, I had decided that a call to Americas favorite TV psychic, Miss Cleo, might make for a titil lating installment of this column. Like most people, I imagine, she’d impressed me as a sort of jovial Jamaican Oprah. So I was shocked, shocked to find she had a dark and menacing side. I visited one of the more than 30 Miss Cleo Web sites in prepa ration for the piece; immediately afterward, increasingly ominous emails began to arrive from her. At first she seemed concerned about my welfare: “Rick, it is vital that you call me at once!” Then she began sounding a tad deranged: “Rick, I don’t typically have visions or dreams about people that haven’t contacted us. But I had one on Tuesday late at night.

&*•**-

It is urgent that you call me as soon as possible!” When weeks passed and I hadn’t yet called, however, her tone became down right threatening: “Rick, you may have very little time left!” Well, that was going too far. I don’t mind when bogus seers fronting for huge media con glomerates prey on the supersti tions, fears and greed of the fee ble-minded and lie to millions of people without blinking an eye in slickly produced TV spots. But I draw the line at solicitations that imply it’s “buy or die.” Especially when they’re directed at me. I resolved to turn the tables on the astral Rastafarian. Here’s how it works: In the TV spots you’re offered a “free call.” The reality is that only the first three minutes of your call are going to be free. Every one after that will be billed to your long distance account at the other

worldly rate of $4.99 a minute! Come on, the President of the United States doesn’t earn $4.99 a minute. The first thing you do is call a free 800 number. An operator comes on, asks questions like, “What made you decide to call Miss Cleo?” and explains about only the first three minutes being free. The operator then gives you the direct 900 line for the psychic to whom you’re going to be speak ing and promises that a buzzer will sound to alert you when your three free minutes are up. So I figure the psychic will do everything possible to drag the call out and rack up the charges. From the moment he picked up the phone and introduced him self as Big Poppa, I knew I was in the presence of a master. Not a master shaman. A master con man. Glaciers move faster than this

guy. I could hear him lazily chewing on something as he asked my name and date of birth. I heard the sound of people going in and out of the room he’s talking from, through a swinging door. In slow motion he explained that he wanted to give me his direct personal line and extension in case we were for any reason disconnected. I’m sure I was into my third minute by the time he got to the last of those 16 digits. Then we were still not ready to begin. Big Poppa calmly masticated and informed me in his deep, low-speed, folksy voice that he was now going to shuffle the Tarot deck and that I should say “Stop!” when I wanted him to place my cards on the table. I gave him a second or two and said, “Stop!” He pretended not to hear. Big Poppa went on in his pokey monotone about how the

cards will touch base with my “past, present and future — but mostly past-present, not so much the distant past.” As Big Poppa explained all this, I cor rinued to plead “Stop! OK? Stop!” After all, my Seven Days expense account covered five minutes, max. Finally he chuckled and said, “Relax, Rick.” Now, on the Web sites, there’s a FAQ section advising potential y callers to prepare questions and ; concerns for their psychic to address. My evil scheme,was to say I’d called because I’d been receiving ominous messages from someone I didn’t know and was becoming concerned. The exam ples I would provide would be the actual messages 1 had received from Miss Cleo herself. I figured that, if the guy has an ounce ot honest-to-God psychic juice in him, he’ll pick up on my little ruse. Hell, he works for her. He’s

probably familiar with the con tent of the company’s promotion al e-mails. If he’s even half-way paying attention, he might well recognize the verbiage from his own experience with the sales propaganda. Would Big Poppa pick up on my devious vibra tions? My cynical, disbelieving energy? Would Big Poppa ever stop shuffling, was still the question. At long last he did, but what he didn’t do was ask whether I had specific questions or concerns I’d like addressed. And, while he wasn’t doing that, the buzzer was n’t doing what it was supposed to do, either — alert me that I was

entering the $5 a minute zone. Fortunately, I had a stopwatch. Instead, my slow-talking friend simply started turning over cards and telling me about them. “This one says Minor Deception. Someone’s trying to take advan tage of you. Deceive you as well.”

This seemed like a good time to tell him that I’d been receiving ominous messages from someone I didn’t know and was getting weirded out. He asked for exam ples, and I read him quotes from various e-mails sent by his boss: “You may have very little time

Kipg (•){2- u p left!” “Something’s about to hap pen to you!” “We know more about you than you may think!” Silence. For a few very expen sive seconds there I truly thought I was busted. That Big Poppa had seen through my plan. As it turned out, though, he was prob ably just swallowing something. Because he then asked, “Rick, are you into anything illegal — nar cotics or drugs?” “No,” I informed him, “I write a column on TV for a weekly newspaper.” .

“W hat about your wife?” he continued, without missing a beat. “I’m suspecting she might know something about that. I’m seeing a Broken Heart and Undeserved Reward.” “My marriage is great, I assured him, “Believe me. she has nothing to do with it. We re madly in iove.” “Hm m m ,” was Big Poppa’s response. If you’ve seen Miss Cleo’s ads, you know that spousal abuse and infidelity are pretty much the business’ psychic bread and but ter. It seems like everybody she talks to in her TV spots is either having an affair, or with someone who is, and Miss Cleo’s special gift pretty much comes down to sniffing out the hanky-panky. Big Poppa decided to fall back, regroup and run out the clock. “Would you repeat those messages, Rick?” I read from his boss’ e-mails one more time, and then he asked whether I was sure I didn’t know who might be sending them. I asked him whether, in fact, he did. Tick, tick, tick. “It says here that you are having an unsatisfac tory experience.” Well, he got that much right. “Let’s get back to your w ife...” Let’s not. Before I hung up on Big Poppa, he attempted to put his dismal performance in demented perspective: “Rick, don’t worry if these things the cards say don’t apply to you. It

just means they apply to a friend or loved one.” Right. Bye, now. I have to laugh whenever I watch Miss Cleo’s TV ads now. Have you seen the latest series? In one, she has alleged actual callers offering bubbly on-camera testimonials, the way some movie studios do only, instead of saying stuff like “We laughed. We cried!” these voung women say “She will shock you!” and “Miss Cleo made the hair on the back of my neck spike up!” In another, she’s inexplicably sitting before a microphone, Howard Stern-style, in a radio studio. After she tells a “caller” that her boyfriend’s being unfaithful, her “cohost” chimes in with “Phenomenal reading!” A fake radio show? Well, I guess pretending you’re a deejay is no weirder than pretending you’re a gifted psychic. I still get the occasional email from Miss Cleo. Actual U.S. mail, too. Deceptively packaged cards and letters designed to look like registered mail with all kinds of official-looking stamps and markings on them. One from PESA — the Personal Enrichment Society of America — contained four Tarot cards and began, “I don’t usually have visions or dreams about people that have contacted us, b u t...” Sound familiar? I guess the moral of the story is that Miss Cleo doesn’t usually have visions or dreams about anybody at all! (E)

Inside Track continued from page 5a

StertZbacil, or any of the motley bunch of morally challenged false . prophets, has come to pass. Not one. On the contrary. Vermont today is an even better place to live and raise a family. In fact, so many good people want to live here, were run out of houses. Nowhere in the United States do the bells of freedom peal louder. One year after the first gay and lesbian couples legalized their love, the debate has faded into the background that is the tapes try of Vermont life. Life goes on. Ho hum. But for the rest of the nation, the law that Howard Dean signed remains a dream, a dream that will one day come true in every state. This Friday, Vermont’s gover nor will be at San Francisco’s Hyatt Regency Hotel to deliver the keynote address at an awards luncheon sponsored by the California Alliance for Pride and Equality (CAPE). Founded in 1998, CAPE is “a non-profit, nonpartisan, grassroots-based, statewide advocacy organization representing the interests of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans gender communities.” The CAPE Crusader awards luncheon is sponsored by AT&T and the Charles Schwab Corporate Foundation. What message will the governor of Vermont bring to the City by the Bay? “I’m going to tell them the same thing I’ve said here for the last year,” said Dean. “You know, God doesn’t make us all the same, but we’ve got to respect each oth ers’ differences. Everybody’s creat ed equal in the eyes of God and everybody’s created equal in the eyes of the law. That hasn’t been recognized in a lot of places, but it is recognized in Vermont. That’s the way it should be.” Amen. Just For Men Update — Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jim Douglas took a below-thehairline swipe at Gov. Dean’s younger-looking scalp in a WCAX-TV interview last Thursday. Douglas was cam paigning from the front seat of State Sen. Phil Scott s race car at Thunder Road. It was Slim Jim’s 50th birthday. “Well, I suppose people respond to midlife crises in differ ent ways,” said Douglas. “Some people dye their hair. Others go for a ride in a race car.” Such a macho man, that Jim Douglas. However, in his Seven Days interview Monday, Dean’s distin guished grayness around the tem ples had miraculously returned. Media Notes — You’ve heard about the earthquake in Peru, but what about the one at The Burlington Free Press* Sunday’s editorial was a ringing endorse ment for bike paths “as an essen tial part of our transportation network.” And on Monday the state’s largest paper went on record in support of vodka made from milk!

What’s going on? You may have noticed that the size of the paper’s tiny “editorial board” doubled this weekend with the names of Managing Editor Geoffrey Gevalt and Acting Editorial Writer Nancy Bazilchlik joining the lonesome twosome of Controller Ed Bartholomew and Publisher James M. Carey at the top of the editorial page. Geoff replaces departed Executive Editor Mickey Hirten. A Connecticut native and Duke grad, Mr. Gevalt worked at the Patriot Ledger and Akron Beacon Journal before hitting Burlap as assistant managing editor three years ago. He lives in Hinesburg, loves it here and has no intention of moving on. Word is he’s in the running for the executive editor job. If history is any guide, how ever, the Gannett Mother Ship in Virginia will choose a complete unknown from out-of-state to run Vermont’s largest daily. Best wishes to Mr. Gevalt anyway. We always like longshots. Nancy Birkenstock is filling in for Good Golly Miss M olly Walsh, who’s taking a few months off. (Molly must have ■ gagged on Nancy’s pro-alcoholic beverage edit.) Ms. Bazilchuk has been the paper’s distinguished environmental reporter for quite some time. Once upon a time, she was a flak for Gov. Madeleine Kunin’s environmen tal guru Jonathan Lash. Meanwhile, Boss Carey has yet to fill the editorial page editor vacancy that’s stretching into four months. Maybe the new board members can convince Carey it’s never too late to take a stand on civil unions? Correction — In last week’s trib ute to John LeClair and the uni versity he almost graduated from, we generously awarded Vermont’s gift to the National Hockey League an Olympic gold medal. Not so. Mr. “Fifteen Credits Shy” got this gold with Team USA in the 1996 World Cup of hockey. Olympic gold remains a possibili ty in Salt Lake City next year.

Attention Trivia Buffs — By the way UVM sports fans, John LeClair is not the first UVM jock star to make the university’s dis tinguished Athletic Hall of Fame without making it to graduation day. The first dropout-inductee was Kirk McCaskill, who entered the Hall of Fame in 1993, 10 years after leaving Burlap. Kirk made the UVM Hall of Fame in two sports: ice hockey and baseball. After one season of minor pro hockey in Sherbrooke, Mr. McCaskill turned his atten tion to his other gift — throwing a baseball exactly where he want ed to throw it. He quickly became one of the top pitchers in the American League in the mid1980s, starring for the California Angels. He finished up in 1996 with the Chicago W hite Sox. In sports trivia land, Kirk’s famous for pitching back-to-back home-run balls to Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr.

The geometric backgrounds echo the human form and, despite the frailty of “Scott” or the sturdiness of “Bonne,” each figure is bolstered

iane Sophrin’s current exhibit, “Figures at Work/Patterns at Play,” at Stowes Helen Day Art Center is very complex. It includes 60 works — interiors, traditional portraits, large-scale nudes, geometric abstractions, various forms of drawing and constructions on pedestals scattered around the gallery. While it is easy to admire her technical vir tuosity, Sophrins bewildering variety makes for pretty tough sledding if you want to know, “what does this all mean?” As it turns out, the show represents work created over 15 years, and her jumble of styles actually represents a very dynamic artistic journey. Sophrin provides some clues along the way. Among the earliest pieces are figure drawings, but this artist does not simply render the figure. Like Alice Neel or Sylvia Sleigh, she uses the models’ nudity to com ment on sexual identity. Her 1989 drawing “Prone (Gauguin)” depicts a young man posed in the manner of one of Paul Gauguin’s Tahitian women. This feminist turnabout takes on a distinctly sharper edge in a painting from a few years later, when Sophrin references the work of 17th-centu ry painter Artemisia Gentileschi in a series of bedroom interiors, each entitled as a “Lesson.” Although Gentileschi was neglected for centuries, she is slowly being recognized as one of the finest painters of the early Baroque period. She was raped and tor tured in her lifetime, and many scholars suggest that Gentileschi’s rather gruesome “Portrait of Amy,” by Diane Sophrin Biblical paintings, including “Judith Slaying Holofernes,” were inspired by realby a balanced matrix ol line and shape. It is as if the life trauma. geometry is a spiritual scaffolding upon which the Sophrins shadowy interiors all include a fiery red bedspread tossed over the bed, a knife on a table identities of these nude individuals are built. Finally, Sophrin lets geometry stand alone. and works by Gentileschi hung on the walls. Executed in 2001, “Red Relief,” “Yellow Relief” “Susanna and the Elders,” “Judith and Her and “Black Relief” are small, monochromatic, Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes” and mixed-media paintings consisting only of angles, “Lucretia” appear in “Lessons” 1, 2 and 4, respec lines and their resulting hardtively.

The latest Merchant-Ivory production is must-see. At least for film fans who’ve committed themselves to inspecting Kate Beckinsale’s work for even the most subatomic trace of talent. By now you’ve probably seen her performance opposite Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in Jerry Bruckheimer’s long, loud and very Hollywood Pearl Harbor. Which probably left you speculating as to whether some sort of paperwork snafu might have been responsible for her occupying a place of such prominence in one of the most expen sive motion pictures ever made. Maybe you left the theater giving the young British actress the benefit of the doubt, conjecturing'that garish action flicks aren’t her cup of tea and that, perhaps, her abilities are more suited to the art film. If that’s the case, you’ll want to have a long, hard look at The Golden Bowl. And, believe me, it’s hard to look at her long here, too. The third adaptation of a Henry James novel by the producing-directing pair, the film takes place at the turn of the last century. The story chronicles six years in the life of the first American billionaire and his relationships with the few friends and family members who make up his intimate inner circle. Nick Nolte plays the old man, an avid art collector who, with his daughter (Beckinsale), has traveled through Italy and England in search of treasures to bring back to the States for display in a palatial muse um he plans obsessively. As the movie opens, two lovers are shopping in the Bloomsbury district for a wedding gift. Uma Thurman is a young woman who has attained a place on the margins of polite society through her strategic cultivation of useful friendships and alliances. Jeremy Northam is a penniless Italian prince. The gift for which the two are shopping is actually intended for bride-to-be Beckinsale, whom Northam himself is about to marry, and with whom Thurman was close as a young girl. The two resolve to keep their shared past a secret from the bride and her father. That deci sion turns out to have double the potential for trou ble, due to the fact that Thurman shortly thereafter marries her childhood friend’s widowed father. ' ’ For a while the group lives a life of quiet privilege,

dividing its time between a number of stately castles and mansions, reproducing (in the case of Beckinsale), keeping a lid on the secret passions simmering just beneath the picture-perfect surface while minimizing contact with the outside world. Angelica Huston costars as one of the few human beings outside the family who is routinely invited into the private circle. She knows about the on again-off again affair between the billionaire’s young wife and his son-in-law, and that it’s just a matter of time until poor naive Beckinsale discovers the terrible truth, too. Huston comes close to spilling the beans on a number of occasions, but Thurman always seems to show up at just the right moment with just the right bit of leverage. All of which is ducky so long as you don’t mind the “Masterpiece Theater” meets “All My Children” feel to the proceedings. My understanding is that the filmmaking team whittled the original tome down to its sparest, most soap-operatic elements. As somber, pedigreed period dramas go, this one is surprisingly nuance-free. The settings are ancient and august, everybody looks great in their turn-of-the-century wear, and the cinematography does its darndest to lend the picture a luster neither the script or perfor mances generate on their own. Huston is fine in her small role. Nolte here and there appears on the brink of bringing depth and dimension to his character, but for the most part is as stiff as his starched collar. Thurman and Northam, for their part, turn in inter mittently stilted performances. And Beckinsale — well, what can I say? She may have hit her career high note with Pearl Harbor after all! Compared with similarly themed titles like The Age o f Innocence and, more recently, The House o f Mirth, the latest from the Merchant-Ivory team proves rather on rhe mechanical side, as though acted without adequate rehearsal and directed in a hurry. O f course, everything is relative. The new release options this week are limited otherwise to the gang/street racing saga The Fast and the Furious and Doctor Dolittle 2. So I guess what I’m saying is, run, don’t walk, to The Golden Bowl. It may not be the best period film ever made, but it’s the best of the new films, period. - ~ - * •'...........

dad Jon Voight, and chronicles the adventures of a babeliscious British aristocrat who works as a globe-trotting photojournalist to fund her exploits as a daredevil archaeologist. Based on the popular video game. (PG -13) MOULIN ROUGE**** The latest from Baz Luhrmann pairs Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman for a musical about a 19th-century poet who immerses himself in the decadence of Paris' Montmartre district, where he comes under the spell of a sultry singing courtesan. John Leguizama costars. (R) THE MUMMY RETURNS*** Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back in the desert and have bigger supernatur al problems than ever. This time around, the couple is called upon to save the world from not just the Mummy but an even more evil, forceof-darkness-type entity known as the Scorpion King as well. Stephen Sommers directs. (PG -13) PEARL HARBOR**172 Michael (Bad Boys, Armageddon) Bay’s movies have always been the kind in which lots of stuff blows up, so it’s no surprise he was tapped to direct this budget-blast ing blockbuster take on the bombing of Pearl Harbor and its impact on the love lives of two soldiers and the woman they both desire. With Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale. (PG -13) SHREK***172 Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow are among the big names who lend their voices to Dreamworks’ ani mated comedy about a disgruntled ogre and his sidekick, a wise-cracking donkey. Andrew Adamson and Victoria Jensen direct. (PG) SWORDFISH**172 Over the past few years John Travolta’s loosed more bombs than the average Japanese squadron that hit Pearl Harbor. The taste-impaired actor shows no sign of breaking his stinky streak, starring as he does here in this most iffy-sounding saga of a con man hired by the CIA to coerce a computer hacker into stealing

Dear Cecil, I ask this question in total sincerity. A gentleman with whom I (also male) have a mutual interest in companionship told me that he becomes sexually aroused when an attractive man sneezes. He said it makes no difference whether the sneeze is authentic or simulated. (He has never asked me to “fake" one for him; I told you, he’s a gentleman. And no, as fate would have it, my allergies have remained in check during the times we’ve been together, so I ’ve not had occasion to observe his reaction firsthand.) My friend tells me that other folks, gay and straight, have this fetish. I’d like to learn more about this behavior, but I don’t know how to research this. Can you help? —

I bet I could prob’ly retire right now. if I’d saved some of the money I earned over the last twenny-nine or so years.

Maybe I should’ve got me one’a them retirement plans or kept puttin’ a little bit every week into some kind of savings.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “Aborigines openly and unaffectedly converse with everything in their sur roundings — trees, tools, animals, rocks — as if all things have an intel ligence deserving of respect.” So says Robert Lawlor in his book, Voices o f the First Day. He adds that the native people of Australia “believe that com munication happens primarily on nonverbal levels.” In light of the fact that you now have an unprecedented opportunity to expand your interplay with everyone and everything, Taurus, I suggest you try on the mind-set of the Aborigine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your life in the coming week or two may have similarities to the descrip tion that journalist Peter Kaplan gave of his tenure at America’s premier newspaper. “Going to work at the [New York] Times,” he told Time magazine, “is like getting into a Sherman tank. You can’t go more than 10 mph. You cant see anything. But you know you have this enor mous power.” So how will you use . your ponderous clout, Gemini? Given your limited range, what destinations should be your priority? And which of your big visions should you proba-

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You remind me of a hippopotamus float ing in a river, the top of its head jut ting up through water hyacinths. Why? Because my astrological analy sis reveals that you currently possess both brute strength and quirky beau ty. You look dangerous but probably won’t hurt anyone. Like the hippo, which swims fast but plods along on land, you move at very different rates depending on your milieu. There’s one other way you’re similar. The hippo’s skin glands ooze a reddish secretion that uninformed observers refer to as “blood sweat,” but which is really a protective pigment. You, too, seem to be laboring mightily when in fact you’re mostly just taking care of yourself with ferocious deter mination.

bly divide into small chunks, allowing you to pursue a pragmatically piece meal strategy?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): “One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness,” said novelist Willa Cather. “One only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world’s end some where.” Buddhist researchers Rick Foster and Greg Hicks would beg to differ. In their book, H ow We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices o f Extremely Happy People, they assert

that the number one trait of happy people is a serious determination to be happy. In other words, bliss is not an accident but a habit. I’ll let you decide what you’d prefer to believe, Cancer. If, however, you suspect that the more intentional approach may suit you, now is an excellent time, astrologically speaking, to cultivate it like crazy.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Again this week, I have borrowed the oracles of Leo poet John Averill for your horo scope. O f the hundreds he has creat ed, I’ve chosen those that are astro logically accurate for your immediate future. June 28: Today is the day of the convenient amnesia. June 29: Today is the day of the healing waters of Las Vegas. June 30- Today is the day of the unsettling message from the remote outpost. July 1: Today is the day of casting off the tramp soul. July 2: Today is the day of the catfish gazing at the pink feather. July 3: Today is the day of the hurricane, stalled iust off the coast, sleeping, dreaming. July 4: Today is the day of the vision of heaven painted on the head of a nail.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The astrological omens are crying out for you to meditate on the following

thoughts. Most of the concepts we use to interpret our experience origi nated in books written by people who are long gone. That’s why philosopher Norman O. Brown says, “The bondage to books compels us not to see with our own eyes; compels us to see with the eyes of the dead, with dead eyes... There is a hex on us, the authority of the past; and to exorcise these ghosts is the great work of mag ical self-liberation.” Walt Whitman echoes the theme: “You tfhall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the specters in books.” Sufi mystic Rumi concludes: “Don’t be satisfied with the stories that come before you; unfold your own myth.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s always problematic to encourage you Libras to tap into your nonrational wisdom. Some of you mistake nonra tional for “irrational,” and go slightly berserk. And those of you with fine intellects tend to be prejudiced against the unpredictable wonders of the liberated intuition. But I’ll take the risk; it’s all in a good cause, which is to inspire you to express a noble form of egotism — an enlightened selfishness, if you will. Now please memorize the following gem by George Bernard Shaw: “Reasonable % people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore; depends on unreasonable people.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be big, robust and vivid. Don’t cling to your dignity; shed it eagerly. Seek out fresh twists that stimulate endorphins, sweat and maybe even a little adrenaline. Avoid people who like you better when you’re tightly self-controlled. Don’t act as if you

have nothing to lose; proceed as if you have everything to win. Finally, Scorpio, meditate on this rap from the mystic Andrew Harvey: If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever-more wonders.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Forget self-help books, hypnosis, 12-step programs, positive affirmations and brazen pleas to God. For a limited time only, and for you Sagittarians alone, there’s only one strategy that can precipitate a true cure, and that’s to transmute a dark secret in your past into a useful and inspiring asset. It may take more than a New York minute, or even longer than a Guadalajara week. But sooner or later, if you’re faithful to this heal ing project, you’ll stop being uncon sciously or “accidentally” mean to yourself, and you’ll exorcise the sub liminal pain that covertly saps your ability to claim your birthright.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): If you want to know a secret, Capricorn, you’re the only sign of the zodiac that’s strong enough to make good use of what I’m about to say. Not only that: The astrological omens suggest you’re especially ripe to act on it. Here goes. “The secret of life,” declared sculptor Henry Moore to poet Donald Hall, “is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is — it m ust be some thing you cannot possibly do.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his book The A rt o f Pilgrimage, travel writer Phil

Cousineau bemoans the tourists who rumble through exotic ^landscapes “with dull eyes and punexcited imaginations.” He recalls “the cruise ships I’ve lec tured on and passengers who never disembarked at Bali, Istanbul, Crete or the island of Komodo* preferring to stay on board to play cards or watch old videos.” Let this serve as your warning beacon in the next two weeks. As tempting as it might be to sleepwalk through the wonders that will be revealed, please stay awake with all your might.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): In the course of my life, I’ve been deeply in love with seven women. My mere infatuations, on the other hand, number a gaudy 35. What about you, Pisces? Please meditate on how these two types of attraction have played out for you during the past 10 years. I bring the issue to your attention because you’re likely to face a major showdown between mere romantic obsession and the Real Thing in the second half of 2001. My preference is that you’ll opt for the latter. It may kindle more slowly and require more hard work than you usually associate with love, but the rewards will be a hundred times more valuable than the transitory inflammations.
