![]() ![]() Chief among these was the Dumont Network series “The Adventures of Ellery Queen.” At the same time, she continued to try to get one of her plays produced on Broadway and not just be "one of the 999 out of 1,000 who didn't become Moss Hart." (In later editions of Underfoot, this reference was changed to Noël Coward.) The bulk of television production eventually moved to California, but Hanff chose to remain in New York. When network television production geared up in New York City in the early 1950s, Hanff found a new career writing and editing scripts for many early television dramas. Her plays were admired by some of Broadway's leading producers but somehow none of them ever made it to the stage. She worked in publicists' offices and spent summers on the "straw hat circuit" along the East Coast, all the while writing one play after another. ![]() She wrote a memoir in 1961 called Underfoot in Show Business. She is best known as the author of the book 84, Charing Cross Road, which became the basis for a stage play, television play, and film of the same name. Helene Hanff (1916-1997) was an American writer born in Philadelphia. ![]()

![]() ![]() She noticed only that her sister had become intermittently present and so she got up to fix her a cup of coffee, black and bitter because Kate liked to torture herself that way, and to freshen her own, with plenty of powdered creamer and stale sugar because Sarah did not. Like Sarah’s own monotonous singing, it was a trait which had long ago faded into the background. ![]() ![]() Kate was always losing things and late for something. “ Love is easy when it’s the first time ,” Sarah droned as Kate rushed in and out again in search of a missing earring. She hadn’t done anything as deliberate as ‘pick’ it. This morning’s serenade was an actual song and a fairly new one at that, but it could have been anything, really. It was almost seven o’clock on a Wednesday morning, which found Sarah Fowler sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and reading the help-wanted ads and singing under her breath in no particular key.

From Murakami city in Japan to an ancient trail in Greece, from Kauai island in Hawaii to Cambridge in Massachusetts, Murakami has run countless miles around the world.Įven if you haven’t read or heard of this book, you surely have heard of him. Since his first marathon in Honolulu, he has run a full-marathon at least once per year. From the autumn of 1982 to the time he wrote this book, he had been running for almost 23 years. ![]() The protagonist of today's book, Haruki Murakami, is keen on long-distance running.

Selected for IFFR’s Harbour programme, the film will be a feast for lovers of repurposed footage and visual spatialisation. Using video-game designs as prime material, as well as fragments from 100 films (of the silent and early sound period), The Mysterious Affair at Styles presents a curious fusion between past and future, and between the iconic power of the archival image and the possibilities of modern technology. ![]() While a Hungarian voice-over drives us through the steps of a classical whodunnit, the baroque visuals enact a playful dance with the dense stream of words – alternately poetic and mysterious, cheeky and ironic. The Mysterious Affair at Styles takes its title from the first published novel by Agatha Christie (detective Hercule Poirot’s debut), with the text serving as narrative basis for this sumptuous experimental collage-film by Péter Lichter. ![]() ![]() Routledge.ĭisrupting Denial Analysing Narratives of Invisible / Visible Violence & Trauma by Sarah Malotane Henkeman (edited 2018).

She’d stuff the skin and keep the stuffed creature in her home. No, she’d kill it with ether, then skin it and eat the meat. We all knew that, right? Well, according to this author, after she’d finished her paintings for a story, she didn’t set the animal free. ![]() ![]() That’s right, it turns out that Beatrix liked to paint woodland creatures from life.
