The subject of this book is a consideration of the usefulness of the concept of fidelity put forward by the philosopher Alain Badiou in the discussion of film adaptation. Fidelity or faithfulness is primarily a consideration that emerges in relation to so-called canonical texts in adaptation: Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby occupies a position of global recognisability and, within the United States, cultural mythology that has triggered strong reactions to the four Hollywood adaptations. The various adaptations allow for the differing approaches to the adaptation of this novel to be meaningfully explored. The film adaptations’ paratextual elements will be discussed in order to show how these acted as limiting lenses. The strategies of the films for handling elements of Fitzgerald’s prose and themes will be compared across the adaptations. This will culminate in an assertion of the worth of a larger application of a Badiouian fidelity within the field.

Another kind-hearted but humorous activity book from the creator of A Celebration of David Attenborough: The Activity Book, celebrating one of the 21st century's best-loved women. Michelle Obama inspires a huge amount of love and respect from all corners of the world. And there has been feverish speculation that she might even run as the next Democrat presidential candidate. Although she has insisted she has no political ambitions, Washington insiders believe senior democrats will urge her to reconsider. Even if she doesn't run, however, her international public profile, while already astronomical, is getting bigger and bigger, especially since the publication of her bestselling memoir Becoming in late 2018, with the whole world wondering what she'll do next. This whimsical yet inspirational book, specially created for Michelle's legions of fans, is a glorious celebration of Michelle Obama, including: Uplifting Quotes: on Hope, Courage, The American Dream, Women's Rights, Self-Motivation, Hardship, Charity, Education, Healthy Eating and more Michelle biography – a potted history of her extraordinary achievements Surprising Hug Recipients (The Queen, George W. Bush, Melania Trump) Love Story: How Michelle and Barack met and fell in love First Lady Firsts: first First Lady to attend an Ivy League university, first First Lady to announce an Oscar winner, first First Lady to outearn her husband before his presidency, and more Melania Trump's Copycat Speech Michelle's Dream Dinner Party Guest List Fun colouring pages, spot the difference pages, 'Where's Michelle?' pages and much, much more!

A deep dive into how F. Scott Fitzgerald’s vision of the American Dream has been understood, portrayed, distorted, misused, and kept alive Renowned critic Greil Marcus takes on the fascinating legacy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. An enthralling parable (or a cheap metaphor) of the American Dream as a beckoning finger toward a con game, a kind of virus infecting artists of all sorts over nearly a century, Fitzgerald’s story has become a key to American culture and American life itself. Marcus follows the arc of The Great Gatsby from 1925 into the ways it has insinuated itself into works by writers such as Philip Roth and Raymond Chandler; found echoes in the work of performers from Jelly Roll Morton to Lana Del Rey; and continued to rewrite both its own story and that of the country at large in the hands of dramatists and filmmakers from the 1920s to John Collins’s 2006 Gatz and Baz Luhrmann’s critically reviled (here celebrated) 2013 movie version—the fourth, so far.

As a dark anniversary approaches, the members of the Roseville family gather in what once was their home: teeming with life and filled with melodic voices of Sir Robert's three growing daughters. Now, ten years after the tragic death of his wife, Rosamund Roseville, which filled the walls of the family manor with grief and glum, Sir Robert's daughters once more return to the cursed home to witness the end of their father's decade-long vigil. The celebration soon turns into a colosseum of crime, death and secrets coming out in the open like the recklessly spilled wedding champagne once Robert's dear friend is found dead in the circumstances eerily familiar to his beloved Rosamund's untimely demise. Living their lives full of deceit, pain and passions, the guests of the Roseville manor meander through the dark secrets while the mystery grows more ominous with every piercing question of the inquisitive detective who hopes to redeem himself after letting a killer get away with murder for way too long.

Everyone is struggling with an internal battle of some sort. They may choose to suppress and ignore it, or they may choose to work on it, but first they must acknowledge that it is there. As empaths, authors Jennifer and Alexander Maag resonate with the stories and experiences of others by way of feeling. That is, they feel other people’s emotions on a deeper level. They came to realize they are both highly sensitive and intuitive individuals. While tuning into their gifts and understandings of the world around them, they found healing, expression, and gratitude for their lives. The experiences they shared are both optimistic and heartfelt. This book aims to applaud God while encouraging self-discovery, growth, and healing outside of the box of modern religion. Take On God came from notes and journal entries written while searching for answers and healing. It became something like, “Dear diary, I am going through spiritual awakening.” Life is a series of dramas that unfold each day. Throw some past-life traumas into the mix, and you’ve got Take On God.

A Washington Post style editor’s fascinating and irresistible look back on the Miss America pageant as it approaches its 100th anniversary. The sash. The tears. The glittering crown. And of course, that soaring song. For all its pomp and kitsch, the Miss America pageant is indelibly written into the American story of the past century. From its giddy origins as a summer’s-end tourist draw in Prohibition-era Atlantic City, it blossomed into a televised extravaganza that drew tens of millions of viewers in its heyday and was once considered the highest honor that a young woman could achieve. For two years, Washington Post reporter and editor Amy Argetsinger visited pageants and interviewed former winners and contestants to unveil the hidden world of this iconic institution. There She Was spotlights how the pageant survived decades of social and cultural change, collided with a women’s liberation movement that sought to abolish it, and redefined itself alongside evolving ideas about feminism. For its superstars—Phyllis George, Vanessa Williams, Gretchen Carlson—and for those who never became household names, Miss America was a platform for women to exercise their ambitions and learn brutal lessons about the culture of fame. Spirited and revelatory, There She Was charts the evolution of the American woman, from the Miss America catapulted into advocacy after she was exposed as a survivor of domestic violence to the one who used her crown to launch a congressional campaign; from a 1930s winner who ran away on the night of her crowning to a present-day rock guitarist carving out her place in this world. Argetsinger dissects the scandals and financial turmoil that have repeatedly threatened to kill the pageant—and highlights the unexpected sisterhood of Miss Americas fighting to keep it alive.

From fan-generated content on TikTok to music videos, the contemporary media landscape is becoming ever more vast, spectacular, and intense. In The Media Swirl Carol Vernallis examines short-form audiovisual media—Beyoncé’s Lemonade, brief sequences from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, TikTok challenges, YouTube mashups, commercials, and many other examples—to offer ways of understanding digital media. She analyzes music videos by Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monáe, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, and others to outline how sound and image enhance each other and shape a viewer’s mood. Responding to today’s political-media landscape through discussions of Fox News and Presidential inaugurations, Vernallis shows how a media literacy that exceeds newscasts and campaign advertising is central to engaging with the democratic commons. Forays into industry studies, neuroscience, and ethics also inform her readings. By creating our own content and knowing what corporations, the wealthy, and the government do through media, Vernallis contends, we can create a more just world.

An "extraordinary" debut memoir of first love, identity, and self-discovery among a group of friends who became family in a Montauk summer house (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award winner). They call Montauk the end of the world, a spit of land jutting into the Atlantic. The house was a ramshackle split-level set on a hill, and each summer thirty-one people would sleep between its thin walls and shag carpets. Against the moonlight the house's octagonal roof resembled a bee's nest. It was dubbed The Hive. In 2013, John Glynn joined the share house. Packing his duffel for that first Memorial Day Weekend, he prayed for clarity. At twenty-seven, he was crippled by an all-encompassing loneliness, a feeling he had carried in his heart for as long as he could remember. John didn't understand the loneliness. He just knew it was there. Like the moon gone dark. Out East is the portrait of a summer, of The Hive and the people who lived in it, and John's own reckoning with a half-formed sense of self. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, The Hive was a center of gravity, a port of call, a home. Friendships, conflicts, secrets and epiphanies blossomed within this tightly woven friend group and came to define how they would live out the rest of their twenties and beyond. Blending the sand-strewn milieu of George Howe Colt's The Big House with the radiant aching of Olivia Liang's The Lonely City, Out East is a keenly wrought story of love and transformation, longing and escape in our own contemporary moment. "An unforgettable story told with feeling and humor and above all with the razor-sharp skill of a delicate and highly gifted writer." -- André Aciman, New York Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name "Out East is full of intimacy and hope and frustration and joy, an extraordinary tale of emotional awakening and lacerating ambivalence, a confession of self-doubt that becomes self-knowledge." -- Andrew Solomon, National Book Award winner An Entertainment Weekly Best Book of May 2019A Time magazine Best Book of May 2019Cosmopolitan Best Book of May 2019An O, the Oprah Magazine Best LGBTQ Book of 2019
