![]() ![]() Desir in the Spring Issue of the newer magazine Fiyah – set in the same time/place but with an alternate history, it is well worth your time. This reminded me very much of the story “ Bondye Bon” by Monique L. He grows wings and takes flight, finding love with an escaped slave whose magic leans more towards the water. Christopher Caldwell‘s “ Hide Me in the Shadow of Your Wings” follows a free black man as he grows up in antebellum Louisiana, first trying to suppress his magic and eventually blossoming with it. I only saw four before this issue went to press, but they all pack a punch. ![]() ![]() The issue focuses on the Southeastern USA and writing by black, indigenous, and POC authors.

Based on the practice of urine-recycling among Amanita muscaria using groups in Siberia, and several vague references to urinating Soma in the Rig Veda, Wasson proposed that the third filter was the human body, and that the urine produced by bemushroomed individuals was considered the purest form of Soma. Wasson’s interpretation of the first two filters, a filter of sunlight (sun-drying or desiccation) and a woolen filter (to remove solids from aqueous preparations), are generally uncontested, but his proposal for the third filter has raised controversy and ire. Central to Wasson’s theory are the three filters of Soma, which correspond to different steps in the preparation of Soma, as outlined in the Rig Veda. Gordon Wasson first proposed his groundbreaking theory identifying Soma, the hallucinogenic sacrament of the Vedas, as the Amanita muscaria mushroom. ![]() ![]() ![]() Michiko Kakutani called it “flat-footed,” Slate enumerated its “Three Hopeless Flaws” and the London Review of Books compared it to “a very bad Oliver Stone film.” Everyone noted the unseemliness of the septuagenarian writer’s research prowls through coed dorms and the rottenness of the sex scenes he returned with. But ultimately a writer is judged on writing, and “Charlotte Simmons” was universally found wanting. After Bush and the Iraq War, they weren’t so cute. By 2004, his guardianship of that tradition was already endangered: Wolfe’s conservative politics had once served, like his famous white suits, to naughtily distinguish him from the run of right-thinking Northeastern writers. ![]() It’s been 15 years, now, since “Charlotte Simmons.” Despite its failures as a novel, the book is worth revisiting for what it represented in the career of Wolfe, who died last year, and in the tradition of American realism Wolfe reinvigorated with his novelistic “New Journalism” and journalistic novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shlaes's achievement stands out for the devastating effect of its understated prose and for its wide sweep of characters and themes.

Using the methods for criticism developed by Susanne K. It demonstrates that the compulsive myth-making faculty in man is not limited to primitive ethnic groups or to serious art, that vaudeville cannot be dismissed as meaningless and irrelevant simply because it fits neither the criteria of formal criticsm or the familiar patterns of anthropological study. American vaudeville is here regarded as the carefully elaborated ritual serving the different and paradoxical myth of the new urban folk. ![]() This study affords an entirely new view of the nature of modern popular entertainment. ![]() |
