But what is a curator, exactly? And what does the explosive popularity of curating say about our culture's relationship with taste, labour and the avant-garde? In this incisive and original study, critic David Balzer travels through art history and around the globe to explore the cult of curation - where it began, how it came to dominate museums and galleries, and how it was co-opted at the turn of the millennium as the dominant mode of organizing and giving value to content. At the same time, curatorial studies programs continue to grow in popularity, and businesses are increasingly adopting curation as a means of adding value to content and courting demographics. Inside the art world, the curator reigns supreme, acting as the face of high-profile group shows and biennials in a way that can eclipse and assimilate the contributions of individual artists. Now that we 'curate' even lunch, what happens to the role of the connoisseur in contemporary culture? 'Curate' is now a buzzword applied to everything from music festivals to artisanal cheese.

WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION Actually there is no evidence that Carroll ever tried drugs beyond some alarming-sounding homeopathic remedies, which included dosing himself with “aconite and arsenic” to cure a stubborn cold. Songs such as Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” (“Remember what the Dormouse said / Feed your head, feed your head”) have encouraged a whole generation of readers to think of Alice’s journey underground as another kind of trip. DrugsĮven more popular is the theory that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a thinly veiled allegory about drug use. His defenders point out that such interpretations probably reveal more about our own fears than they do about Carroll. Alice’s attempts to move aside a curtain and squeeze through a little doorway have also attracted comment, particularly when viewed alongside Carroll’s history of child friendships. William Empson gleefully pointed out that Alice is “a father in getting down the hole, a foetus at the bottom, and can only be born by becoming a mother and producing her own amniotic fluid”. Psychoanalytical interpreters have seized on it with particular relish. While the story invites us to step inside Alice’s head, some readers have wondered if it reveals more about her creator. I’ve read favourites like If I Stay and Just One Day, and I’m always in awe of her ability to pull at my heartstrings. Now she returns with her most recent YA novel, We Are Inevitable.

So far, the inevitable hasn’t worked out so well for Aaron Stein. ‘I got this whole-body feeling … it was like a message from future me to present me, telling me that in some way we weren’t just bound to happen, that we had, in some sense, already happened.

Upon learning of Kaden's treatment, the Komizar murders his beggar captors and takes Kaden back to Venda, training him to be Ratan and eventually The Assassin of Venda. Starved and beaten by the beggars for years, at eleven Kaden has a chance encounter with the Komizar, who notices his wounds and offers him shelter. Kaden was immediately sold by his father to wandering beggars for one copper, on the promise that they would never bring him back. While Kaden has pleasant memories of his mother and her kindness, she died when he was just eight. He comes to disdain the gift, and is slow to realize Lia also has the sight due to his prejudices regarding it. Kaden has the sight, like his mother - its manifestation at a young age contributed to his half-brothers' and The Lady's hatred of him. Kaden was born to Cateryn of County Duerr, while she worked for Lord Roche as a governess in Morrighan. Kaden is well built and muscular with lashing scars across his back from his childhood. His brown eyes hide turbulence beneath the surface and are described by Lia as "warm and smokey". Kaden is described as having light blonde hair with movements that are quiet and deliberate like those of a hunter. |
