No Modernism Without Lesbians

Product Information

At some point the storyline felt all over the place, as the author would jump between different biographies within somebody else's story (very confusing?!) Though poet Natalie Barney and artist Romaine Brooks rubbed (usually more than) elbows with the artistic elites of Bohemian Paris, neither achieved fame nor acclaim. So it is that Souhami (Mrs. Continue reading » is niet bepaald flatterend. Dat ze een snor had, herhaalt Souhami ad nauseam. En dat deze handmaiden (Steins lover maar ook typiste, manager, kokkin, poetsvrouw) eigenlijk alle touwtjes strak in handen had en alle vrouwen jaloers en angstvallig van Stein weghield. Souhami lijkt niet zo hoog op te lopen met het werk van Stein, waar ze verrassend vaak de draak mee steekt. Gale Group (1999). Contemporary authors.

Time You Admire a Picasso, Thank a Lesbian The Next Time You Admire a Picasso, Thank a Lesbian

Souhami ends with some blithe mimicry of Stein’s echolalia, rejoicing in a Parisian paradise where “lovers of love and refreshment in life still loved, and loved lovers and loved love”. I abbreviate a long alliterating paragraph of hallelujahs: here is Capote’s daisy chain made of words, though the repetitions hardly erase memories of the miserable childhoods and agonising affairs Souhami has chronicled. Love is lovely and even heavenly, but sex, regardless of gender, can be diabolical. Writer and judge Rachel Holmes said: “In these days of deliberately stoked culture wars Mohsin Zaidi deftly engages us with the harsh, hilarious and inherently human realities of multiple identity. With painful honesty, he shows how no community of class, race, faith or queerness is immune from suspicion and occasional hatred of otherness, nor mercifully from love, laughter and acceptance.” Had really high hopes for this as I’ve read some of Jessas writing and thought this would be a stimulating political podcast with a leftist tilt Between Love Island, Love is Blind, FBoy Island, Sexy Beasts, Too Hot to Handle etc, we sure do love watching hot straight people be tortured for the possibility of love.

Diana Souhami wins 2021 Polari prize for No Modernism Without

No Modernism Without Lesbians by Diana Souhami has won the 2021 Polari prize for LGBTQ+ books. The account of a group of gay women who helped to begin the modernist movement was called “richly researched, entertaining and hugely enjoyable” by judge and CEO of the National Centre for Writing, Chris Gribble. It offers “insight into the lives, passions and legacies of a group of outstanding women who together helped change the course of their culture”, he added. “Souhami is a brilliant guide and this book a celebration, corrective and fillip all in one.” Pretty interesting but somewhat overstayed its welcome. Maybe that's because the last quarter is about Gertrude Stein, who I can't stand. From the creators of Public Intellectual: a new weekly podcast exploring the state of our cultural institutions, norms, and failures. It's called The Culture We Deserve. Because it is.Okay okay so I appreciated the history and the photographs in this. The modernist Sapphics are my literal favorite (I mean hello have you seen my goodreads profile?) but this book definitely fell flat. The author gave me kinda terfy vibes for one—she went on a whole tangent about using she/her pronouns for Bryher because language about nonbinary identities didn’t exist yet but then calls all the people in the books lesbians when most of them didn’t identify that way ??? Also the narrative itself was VERY rambling. She’d go on whole tangents about other people only tangential to the story. So unnecessary.
