Slow but informative history

Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel

January 2, 2022 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

The second of my trio of books this year related to WWII (All The Light We Cannot See and Exodus), this is also the only non-fiction one.  Monuments tells the story of the group of soldiers in WWII who were part of the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives (MFAA) section. This group was underfunded, unrecognized and very small (at its largest, after the war, it numbered 350 people), yet responsible for saving most of western Europe’s art. The action opens by introducing us to the […]

River of Ink by Etiene Appert

July 22, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr13bingo  People I am not sure if what I read was the entire book of River of Ink by Etiene Appert or not as I found an online edition for booksellers via a newsletter I occasional get. It did feel complete, had a what felt like a solid ending; therefore, I am assuming, yes, I read all of Appert’s book. However, regardless of what I did read, I know I read enough to know two things: One: WHAT THE FLYING MONKEYS did I just read? […]

Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto by Legacy Russell

January 24, 2021 by zinka 4 Comments

Glitch Feminism, by Legacy Russell, is a powerful manifesto that challenges gender binaries as well as other binaries including hegemonic understandings of our relationship to our bodies and cyberspace. Part critical theory, part art theory, art history, and contemporary art survey, I don’t think I’ve been so deeply entranced by reading a text like this in some time, maybe ever. I also know, that to really understand it, I’ll have to reread it a few more times but I’m attempting to review it anyway, so […]

That Turkey Is Not Pining for the Fjords

Goya by Robert Hughes

January 22, 2020 by elderberrywine 2 Comments

What an awesome book.  I remember Robert Hughes from back in the day.  He was the art critic (as well as an artist in his own right) for Time Magazine, when I used to read it religiously.  He is also Australian, with rather a tumultuous past (including a five week coma following an accident), and the man has Opinions.  So I was ready to hear what he had to say about the Spanish artist Francisco Goya y Lucientes. But what I was not expecting was […]

Follow My Lead by Kate Noble

December 9, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Jason Cummings, the Duke of Rayne, has worked diligently for years to be responsible and take care of both his sister and estates. Now, as he is nearing thirty, he feels that it is his duty to find a wife and father some heirs, and after experiencing just how ruthless some of the debutantes on the marriage mart can be, he asks his sister for assistance. Just as he seems to have found a promising lady of suitable temperament, his wooing is temporarily derailed because […]
