Synopsis

In "Richard Wagner and His Poetical Work, from 'Rienzi' to 'Parsifal'," Judith Gautier offers a comprehensive exploration of Wagner's evolution as a composer and his intricate relationship with poetry. This work delves deeply into Wagner's artistic vision, exploring how each opera reflects his philosophical and aesthetic ideals. Gautier employs a lyrical and analytical style, weaving together historical context and personal insights to illuminate Wagner's influence on music and literature. The text engages with the thematic consistencies that underpin Wagner's oeuvre, from the grand aspirations of 'Rienzi' to the spiritual profundities of 'Parsifal', mapping his journey through innovation and expressive depth. Judith Gautier, a prominent literary figure and the daughter of the influential poet, Theophile Gautier, was deeply immersed in the cultural landscape of her time. Her firsthand engagement with the Parisian artistic circles, alongside her admiration for Wagner's work, imbued her scholarship with both passion and authority. Gautier's familiarity with the music scene and her poetic sensibility enriched her critiques, articulating a nuanced understanding of Wagner's contributions to the opera world and the broader cultural dialogue. This book is a must-read for any scholar, musician, or lover of the arts seeking to grasp Wagner's legacy in a broader literary and philosophical framework. Gautier's insightful examinations offer rich perspectives that enhance our appreciation of both Wagner's operas and their poetic foundations.

Jon Kinnally, Ryan O'Connell

WARNING: Those who don't remember my past are doomed to repeat it.I'm Prancing As Fast As I Can is a coming of Gay story that takes us from a scared, self-hating kid who spends most of his time under his desk staring at the hunky man on the Doan's Pills box, to becoming a writer on Will & Grace, helping to make it a little easier for other scared, self-hating kids who might also be hiding and staring at their secret desire. It's a journey through Olympic mustaches and when Chér's name had an accent and losing your virginity to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a terrible virus and memorials and memorials and memorials and ACTing UP and using the word "lover" and having a fan who's also a serial killer and Gay penguins and spreading your boyfriends' ashes with your new boyfriend and Prop 8 and getting to write lines for divas on Ugly Betty and Gay marriage and more stuff like that and in the end ketamine therapy to help it all make sense.

Desperate Living - A Screenplay

John Waters

A grotesque and hilarious satire about the American dream, suburban living, and the corrupting influence of power, set in a world that could only have sprung from the unhinged and brilliant mind of John Waters. Listen as Waters himself acts out each role!On the verge of a suburban mental health crisis, frazzled and wildly unstable housewife Peggy (immortalized by Mink Stole on-screen) runs away from home with her maid and partner in crime, Grizelda (played with spectacular gumption by the sizzling Jean Hill), only to end up in Mortville, a shantytown filled with society’s rejects. Mortville is run by the evil Queen Carlotta, who parades through the cardboard streets taunting and terrorizing her subjects.John Waters’s wild and visionary fable lampoons everything from the staid conservatism of the American dream to race and class relations. The New York Times ranked Desperate Living at “the highest peak atop [John Waters’] trash heap of a filmography.” High praise indeed!A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
