Sinopsis

It is a short story by author Kate Chopin about a young woman who flees from her husband's Louisiana home by accident and lives covertly in New Orleans. Athénase, the story's married lady, is stuck, confined by the possibilities that society provides her. After abandoning an unpleasant convent house, the fictitious Athénase finds herself in a marriage that is similarly "wretched," so she flees once more. She was unable to submit a legally binding complaint against her spouse. The loss of freedom is her biggest objection to marriage.

    “Similar in spirit to Lewis Mumford’s The City in History and Jane Jacobs’ The Death and Life of Great American Cities . . . wonderful, funny, idiosyncratic.” —Frederick R. Steiner, author of The Living Landscape 
     
    Big Plans: The Allure and Folly of Urban Design springs from the idea that human aspirations for the city tend to overstate the role of rationality in public life. Inspired by the architectural and urban criticism of such writers as Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs, and John Brinckerhoff Jackson, Kolson adopts a user’s perspective on issues of urban design, an approach that highlights both the futility of social engineering and the resilience of the human spirit. 
     
    “A book that should be read by all those people, and there seem to be more of them as week chases week, who are thinking about the fate of lower Manhattan right now.” —Bloomberg News 
     
    “Kenneth Kolson has lots of material: Some of what’s been built in cities lately is astonishing and not in a good way.” —The Boston Globe

    Household Horror - Cinematic...

    A scholar examines 14 everyday objects featured in horror films and how they manifest their power and speak to society’s fears. 
     
    Take a tour of the house where a microwave killed a gremlin, a typewriter made Jack a dull boy, a sewing machine fashioned Carrie’s prom dress, and houseplants might kill you while you sleep. In Household Horror, Marc Olivier highlights the wonder, fear, and terrifying dimension of objects in horror cinema. Inspired by object-oriented ontology and the nonhuman turn in philosophy, Olivier places objects in film on par with humans, arguing, for example, that a sleeper sofa is as much the star of Sisters as Margot Kidder, that The Exorcist is about a possessed bed, and that Rosemary’s Baby is a conflict between herbal shakes and prenatal vitamins. Household Horror reinvigorates horror film criticism by investigating the unfathomable being of objects as seemingly benign as remotes, radiators, refrigerators, and dining tables. Olivier questions what Hitchcock’s Psycho tells us about shower curtains. What can we learn from Freddie Krueger’s greatest accomplice, the mattress? Room by room, Olivier considers the dark side of fourteen household objects to demonstrate how the objects in these films manifest their own power and connect with specific cultural fears and concerns. 
     
    “Provides a lively and highly original contribution to horror studies. As a work on cinema, it introduces the reader to films that may be less well-known to casual fans and scholars; more conspicuously, it returns to horror staples, gleefully reanimating works that one might otherwise assume had been critically “done to death” (Psycho, The Exorcist, The Shining).” —Allan Cameron, University of Auckland

Classic films now become audiobooks with many featuring the original stars from way back when. Here's Key Largo starring Edward G. Robinson & Claire Trevor.
