The Celebrity Defense - The New Yorker“Roman is not defeated by anything,” a friend says. The document recounted how patrol officers had gone to the home of Samantha Gailey, a thirteen- year- old girl who lived in the San Fernando Valley, after her mother called police to say that Samantha had been raped by Roman Polanski, the movie director, who was forty- four at the time.“In those days, I was too busy raising kids and paying bills to go to many movies,” Vannatter recalled recently. According to Vannatter, “The prosecutor decided that we should go to the hotel where Polanski was staying and execute a search warrant”—to find, among other things, photographs of Gailey that she said Polanski had taken and quaalude pills like the one she said the director had given her. I was very unhappy when I heard about that. I thought we had plenty of evidence to arrest him, and that’s what I thought we should do.”So, in the early evening, Vannatter and his partner went to the Beverly Wilshire hotel, in Beverly Hills, where Polanski was staying. I thought, The heck with this. I wasn’t going to let those D. A. s tell me how to do my job. Why not arrest the guy? Any other person would have been arrested. So I said I’m going to do what is right.“After I read him his rights, I asked him to take me upstairs to his room, so I could do the search,” Vannatter went on. So I put my hand under his and said, . He kept asking me for the quaalude back, so he could take it and calm down,” Vannatter said. On March 2. 4, 1. Los Angeles County grand jury indicted Polanski on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor. On August 8, 1. 97. Polanski pleaded guilty to the least serious of the charges against him, having unlawful sex with a minor—statutory rape. On the eve of his sentencing hearing, which was scheduled for February 1, 1. Polanski fled to Europe, and he has not returned. Earlier this year, on September 2. Switzerland after American authorities made a provisional request for his arrest. Last week, Polanski’s lawyers provided the deed to his apartment in Paris, the final piece of security to raise $4. Under the terms of the arrangement, Polanski was then released to house arrest at his chalet, known as Milky Way, in the Swiss ski resort of Gstaad, having spent sixty- seven days in a Zurich detention center. The large amount of bail, and a requirement for him to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, might seem extreme for a seventy- six- year- old man; but, considering that Polanski is one of the most famous fugitives from American justice in the world, his release from prison under any terms at all may seem like a generous deal for him.“Sorry. He’s been cursing like that ever since we put him in that little sailor suit.”The question of whether Polanski’s celebrity has helped or hurt him hovers over his lengthy legal battle. For Vannatter, the lesson in Polanski’s long flight from justice is that celebrities enjoy special privileges in the legal system—a subject on which he possesses a unique vantage point. Seventeen years after arresting Polanski, Vannatter, with his partner Tom Lange, led the investigation of the murder of O. Simpson’s ex- wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Polanski has enjoyed a comfortable exile in Europe, where until this year he not only avoided prison but continued to make films. PREVENTING CRIME: WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN'T, WHAT'S PROMISING 1. A REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. Prepared for the National Institute of Justice.Note from KTVB 18/1/17: I found this entry I started in March 2015 but never finished or published. So here I am giving it a chance to surface on my blog, hope you enjoy! Get exclusive film and movie reviews from THR, the leading source of film reviews online. We take an honest look at the best and worst movies Hollywood has to offer. This is the Drama section for TV in the United Kindom. We start off on this page with OLDTIMETV SERIES DRAMAS UK, then at the top, above the great Lucille Balls head. Directed by John Singleton. With Janet Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Regina King, Joe Torry. In this film, we see the world through the eyes of main character Justice, a. ![]() For decades, his conviction for a felony sex crime existed mostly as a footnote in a long and eventful life. But the Polanski story suggests an alternative view, too. Over the years, there have also been times when he has been penalized for his celebrity status. Mostly, celebrity warps the criminal process, and not always in a predictable direction. In Polanski’s case, the effect of his celebrity was doubly, and inconsistently, pernicious; it obscured both how badly Polanski treated his young victim and how badly the legal system treated him. Polanski’s period of house arrest will mark a return to an alpine village that has long been a favorite escape for him. Friends of Polanski brought him to Gstaad to help him recover from his grief over the murder of Sharon Tate. On that visit, in the late sixties, Polanski discovered that Gstaad was, he wrote in an autobiography, “the finishing school capital of the world . They were all between sixteen and nineteen years old. They took to visiting my chalet, not necessarily to make love—though some of them did—but to listen to rock music and sit around the fire and talk.” He described sitting in his car outside the schools at night, waiting for his “date” to climb out over the balcony after roll call. At this age, Polanski wrote, the girls “were more beautiful, in a natural, coltish way, than they ever would be again.” The autobiography, “Roman, by Polanski,” was published in 1. While exile and tragedy have been persistent themes in Polanski’s life, so, too, has a sexual obsession with very young women. He started dating the actress Nastassja Kinski when he was in his mid- forties and she was in her mid- teens. He has been together with his wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, since he was fifty- one and she was eighteen. And then, of course, there is the criminal case involving thirteen- year- old Samantha Gailey. In his autobiography, he wrote of the day that Vannatter arrested him, “I was incredulous; I couldn’t equate what had happened that day with rape in any form.” In an interview two years after the crime, with Martin Amis, Polanski spoke in even blunter terms: “When I was being driven to the police station from the hotel, the car radio was already talking about it. I thought, you know, I was going to wake up from it. I realize, if I have killed somebody, it wouldn’t have had so much appeal to the press, you see? Judges want to fuck young girls. Juries want to fuck young girls—everyone wants to fuck young girls!”Roman Polanski has led the kind of life that has already called forth multiple biographies. He was born in Paris in 1. His father, a Jewish . After Hitler’s invasion, the family was confined to the city’s ghetto. His mother, four months pregnant, was taken to Auschwitz and gassed; his father was carried off, too, but somehow survived. On March 1. 4, 1. Germans completed the liquidation of the ghetto. There is no bitterness, no anger, though there is memory,” Jeff Berg, his longtime agent, who spoke to Polanski while he was jailed, told me. He is neither in denial nor apologetic about his life. He wouldn’t use the word, but it’s a very existential approach to life.” Polanski’s early life seems to have instilled in him a voraciousness for experience—intellectual, physical, sexual. Amid the deprivations of postwar Poland, the young Polanski became an accomplished actor, skier, bicycle racer, fencer, mimic, and artist. Summer camp changed his life. I had discovered my vocation.”“The answer isn’t more troops—what you need is an antibiotic.”In the early fifties, Polanski joined the threadbare Polish film community in Lodz. He made a handful of experimental shorts. His first full- length feature was “Knife in the Water,” a dark, atmospheric drama about a married couple who pick up a young stranger on the way to an excursion on their boat. It earned Polanski an Academy Award nomination in 1. Best Foreign Language Film. After Polanski rejected Bart’s initial requests that he direct the movie version, Bart asked his boss at Paramount, Robert Evans, to intervene. If you come to L. A., the worst thing that can happen is that you are going to have the best sex of your life.’ Roman said, . He loved the fast life. He became a real star. He got good tables in restaurants. That had not been part of his life. You could see him change, to a degree. The unthinkable happened to Roman—he was actually happy.”Polanski even found a woman he loved, a young actress named Sharon Tate, and they married on January 2. When Tate was pregnant with their first child, she and Polanski rented a house on the quiet and remote Cielo Drive. It was shortly before dinner on August 9, 1. Polanski, who was in London, received the phone call. His maid had found the bodies: Tate, who was eight and a half months pregnant; Jay Sebring, a Hollywood hair stylist; Wojtek Frykowski, a friend of Polanski’s from Poland; and Abigail Folger, Frykowski’s girlfriend and an heiress to the Folger coffee fortune. The word “PIG” was written in Tate’s blood on the front door. For months, the crime was unsolved, and it became the subject of a torrent of speculation, with some insinuations directed at Polanski. Time noted that “Sharon and Polanski circulated in one of the film world’s more offbeat crowds.” The innuendo wounded Polanski, who assisted the police, and offered a reward for leads. Finally, on December 1st, the police announced that the case had been solved. Most of the Manson “family” members who had conducted the attacks were already in custody. Manson had no connection to Polanski, or to any of the victims.“Sharon’s death is the only watershed in my life that really matters,” Polanski wrote. A little later, his friend Robert Evans asked him to direct a script, by Robert Towne, about the murky origins of modern Los Angeles. Polanski was reluctant, but Evans courted him by hosting a Passover Seder, with Kirk Douglas presiding and Sidney Korshak, the mob fixer, arranging the catering. Polanski agreed to direct “Chinatown.” That film, which came out in 1. Polanski his next Academy Award nomination. He shot “The Tenant,” a thriller in which he also starred, in Paris, and directed “Rigoletto” at the Bavarian State Opera, in Munich. In his autobiography, Polanski recounted an evening in Munich in late 1. At Polanski’s hotel suite, the journalist stayed with his date, whom Polanski knew only as “Nasty,” and “I took the other girl, a stunning blonde, to bed. By the time I surfaced the journalist had gone. Nasty was half- asleep in an armchair in the sitting room. Taking her by the hand, I led her back into the bedroom.

In the case of humans — well, there's something very disconcerting about a smile that doesn't have an ounce of happiness in it. It's downright frightening when the smile is in anticipation of pain or death — yours, probably. Needless to say, the Slasher Smile does not inspire warmth in anyone who sees it. In general, the difference is in the eyes of the character. If the eyes sparkle, or are mischievously wicked, it's a Cheshire Cat Grin. If, however, the eyes are clearly crazy or malevolent, it's a Slasher Smile. If the grinning person is holding a knife or an axe or some other implement of painful and often bloody death, it's best to assume the worst. Only expect to see a . Also, a devious Chessmaster or Magnificent Bastard is unlikely to look like this - it's too Obviously Evil, and they prefer the subtler Psychotic Smirk. Beings who hunt and eat victims we are supposed to identify with will also often have Slasher Smiles.. For many, this has the added worry of making it harder to tell what they're thinking or feeling, because their face betrays no expression beyond the smile. Sometimes paired with the Maniac Tongue. When the smile is merely creepy, it's The Un- Smile. May be part of the fear behind the Monster Clown. See also Technically a Smile. His smile is terrifyingand hot. Who also adds Cheshire Cat Grin and evil giggles to the mix. Hell from Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger never smiled. He GRINNED (usually when he thought he was winning or believed he had won. Or simply when he felt people were frightened of him). And it was deeply disturbing. It was even creepier in Mazinkaiser. But when he grinned in battle, it was very eerie. It's less common to see him not smiling than to see him with a smile (or a convenient Psychotic Smirk) on his lips, but if he's smiling and his eyes are open, you're in serious trouble. Especially exemplified as he's sadistically torturing Valgaav in TRY and a highly amused smile never leaves Xellos' face, backed up by a truly psychotic giggle. Ichigo sports one in battle sometimes as well, usually when under the control of his inner Hollow. This tends to be as much a problem for their allies as for their enemies. Examples include Mayuri and Szayel. Pride's shadows also usually have this default expression as does his body after he eats Gluttony. Must be a family trait since Father was shown to have one back in the days where he was only a blob in a flask and he can still pull it off as shown When he leaves his 'human form' which is just a humanoid blob with these and eyes. The only exception is when Ed correctly offers to sacrifice all of his alchemist powers to get Alphonse back, Truth displays a real happy smile as he cheerfully congratulates Ed on choosing the right answer and opens the way for him to retrieve Al and dissolves into nothingness. However, that's just Revy on a normal day. What you really want to watch out for is when she drops the grin and goes all emotionless and monotone, because that's when she stops pointing her guns at the bad guys and starts pointing them at everyone. In the manga arc El Baile De La Muerte, Roberta, as her sanity continues to spiral downward into Ax Crazyville, starts sporting these. And so came the time when she snapped one of Shenhua's kukris, WITH HER TEETH, while wearing THE slasher smile of slasher smiles. She's ordering hits, snapping necks, and holding a gun to Rock's head with that huge grin. You first see it right at the beginning, when Revy challenges Rock, a Japanese sarariman, to a drinking duel. So very creepy and so very veryawesome. Considering he's not even an antihero, the psychological warfare aspect is neat. He has this whole shark fang thing going on. It's even creepier when her eye colour inverts. Osaka always looks a bit blank, and she was half- asleep when she tried it.. She had no violent intentions, but she sure looked like someone was gonna get stabbed. Yes, the Tartarus arc took the Darker and Edgier level of this series Up to Eleven like never before. You're going to wish you never did once the Wretched Egg takes over and unleashes a unsettling grin. This should be your signal to run, as he's usually in a blood- spilling mood when he's got that grin. Higuchi, too, after getting the Shinigami Eyes. One look at that creepy face and death will follow, without the Death Note. Light showed what a badass he is when he only was seriously freaked out for a few seconds, when Ryuk spontaneously appeared in his bedroom. Apparently he has that expression 2. It's only hidden by the sand armor. The only times it usually leaves his face are when he's using a jutsu and has to expel water from his mouth. Sakura gets one in a comedic fashion after Konohamaru insults her. Between him, Sasuke, and Itachi, it looks like terrifying expressions are just another part of the Big, Screwed- Up Family. This is a sign that he's about to pluck out your heart. The Millennium Earl is a cross between this, a Stepford Smiler, and a Monster Clown with his perpetual huge, cheery, and absolutely horrific grin. In fact, every single member of the Noah family seems to do this occasionally. This only makes it spookier when he flashes a particularly chilling slasher smile right as he's picking up the Anti- Hero lead by the neck and throwing him through a stained glass cathedral window. The smile gets wider and wider the more time he's on screen. Made creepier by the fact that there's a large bite out of her head. Predictably, he normally can't smile.. He did use it once, while normal, to catch an arrow in his mouth, though. Ryoma in particular seems to have this as his natural expression. Luffy of One Piece gets one of these, in the 8th opening for the show after landing on a marine ship. Luffy is full of epic grins. And later when fighting Oars. Cue the Straw Hats' slasher smiles and a nonchalant, epic, off- screen beatdown of Oars. Thorkell's is more of a Slasher Grin, with a big thumbs up thrown in there. In fact, that's the only time he ever smiles. Top dog Onime no Kyo combines it with Red Eyes, Take Warningand the Glowing Eyes of Doom to create a visage unparalleled in its ominousness. Interestingly, both of these characters were frail- looking girls. The Mad Scientist who gave them their powers seems to owe his look to Dr. There's also the twisted, insane looks of the criminals as they confess. Made even better and creepier by the fact she had just finished murdering someone a few seconds ago and is covered from head to toe in blood. Too bad it isn't really seen again after this, because she's too busy being a goofball, playing with safety scissors. Its utterly random appearance combined with its large number of teeth made it horror in its purest form. As in, dirt and dust and mold. Combined with his permanent death glare, he looks like he's rejoicing in the thought of committing genocide on entire societies of dust mites and mold colonies. There's a brief shot of one right in the opening theme. HE WANTS TO RAPE YOU!!! Angel Densetsu's Kitano. In fact, he does it so often that he scares his teammates when he DOESN'T have a slasher smile, and uses it to his advantage against his opponents. Then he actually pulls the trigger. Being onlysemi- crazy, he otherwise reserves it only for special occasions (such as having just added another few digits to his kill count). Naturally, the latter is a little less creepy. Lots of characters in Pandora Hearts pull one of these at times. Especially the Baskervilles and Will of the Abyss. Though she rarely does her own dirty work, the fact that she is a dealer of death makes this appropriate. If the first episode is any indication, it's because her smiles end up as one of these.. Itdoesn'tmatterwhoitis. Piss off anybody and you'll be greeted with any of these expressions. He eventually asks him how he would look his estranged daughter in the eyes and then realizes that he's got him, and then makes one of the most unsettling and terrifying smiles imaginable before asking . It's one of your first clues that this is not your average. Magical Girl anime. Their fellow Super Soldiers Orga Sabnak, Cortho Bauer, and Sting Oakley have also been known to crack them out from time to time. Seriously, you wouldn't imagine a seven year old to look like this,? Contradicts nicely with his usual personality. After being pushed close to her Despair Event Horizon she is seen smiling and laughing while tearing into a witch with her sword. A witch that looks like her love rival. While covered in blood. While her best friend watches on. Sayaka does that again during her conversation with Homura in Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion. She flashes a menacing- looking grin as her reflection becomes that of Oktavia. Homura tries to attack her, but Sayaka transforms into Oktavia and vanishes, leaving only her cape behind. Homura Akemi herselfvery, very briefly develops one in Rebellion as Madokami comes down to take her to heaven. It serves as a short and extremely unsettling warning that something's about to go horribly wrong, confirmed about thirty seconds later when Homura proceeds to hijack Madoka's powers. Combined with his creepy laughing and this little piece playing in the background and the whole thing easily goes into Nightmare Fuel territory. The wider his smile, the bloodier things get. And things get pretty damn bloody. The Master of Synapse from Heaven's Lost Property. One of the main protagonists, Tomoe, also tends to sport one when he is about to do something nasty. Mahiro Fuwa in Zetsuen no Tempest seems to have an emotional spectrum that ranges from 'indifferent' to this. Frighteningly enough, he's regarded as far less of a threat than his best friend. Tsuchiya gets one in Holyland chapter 1. It could even be said the heroes do it more than the villains. Considering the light- hearted tone of the series, the trope is completely Played for Laughs.

The rotary models quickly became popular for their combination of good power and light weight when compared to piston- engined competitors that required heavier V6 or V8 engines to produce the same power. The R1. 00 and the RX series (RX- 2, RX- 3, and RX- 4) led the company's export efforts. During 1. 96. 8, Mazda started formal operations in Canada (Mazda. Canada) although Mazdas were seen in Canada as early as 1. In 1. 97. 0, Mazda formally entered the American market (Mazda North American Operations) and was very successful there, going so far as to create the Mazda Rotary Pickup (based on the conventional piston- powered B- Series model) solely for North American buyers. To this day, Mazda remains the only automaker to have produced a Wankel- powered pickup truck. Additionally, it is also the only marque to have ever offered a rotary- powered bus (the Mazda Parkway, offered only in Japan) or station wagon (within the RX- 3 and RX- 4 lines for certain markets). After nine years of development, Mazda finally launched its new model in the U. S. As American buyers (as well as those in other nations) quickly turned to vehicles with better fuel efficiency, the relatively thirsty rotary- powered models began to fall out of favor. Combined with being the least- efficient automaker in Japan (in terms of productivity), inability to adjust to excess inventory and over- reliance on the U. S.

Starting with the lightweight RX- 7 in 1. RX- 8, Mazda has continued its dedication to this unique powerplant. This switch in focus also resulted in the development of another lightweight sports car, the piston- powered Mazda Roadster (perhaps better known by its worldwide names as the MX- 5 or Miata), inspired by the concept 'jinba ittai'. Introduced in 1. 98. Roadster has been widely credited with reviving the concept of the small sports car after its decline in the late 1. Partnership with Ford Motor Company. From 1. 97. 4 to 2. Mazda had a partnership with the Ford Motor Company, which acquired a 7% stake in 1. Mazda. Under the administration of Alan Mulally, Ford gradually divested its stake in Mazda from 2. Ford currently holding 2. Mazda stock in 2. Starting in 1. 97. Ford expanded an existing partnership with Mazda resulting in various joint projects. The cooperation had begun in 1. Mazda B- Series spawned a Ford Courier variant for North America, a version which was later offered in other markets as well. Mazda's Bongo and Titan cab- over trucks were sold with Ford badging in mainly Asia and the Pacific region beginning in 1. Mazda began supplying manual transaxles to Ford in the spring of 1. During the 1. 98. Ford gained another 2. Ford gained an extra 5- percent financial stake. Particularly in the Asia- Pacific markets, Ford- badged Mazda products replaced much of their own lineup. The Ford Festiva, Laser, and Telstar were also sold in Japan alongside their Mazda- badged brethren. The Probe was built in a new Mazda company plant in Flat Rock, Michigan along with the mainstream 6. North American version of the Capella) and a companion Mazda MX- 6 sports coupe. Ford also lent Mazda some of its capacity when needed: the Mazda 1. Europe and South Africa was, for a time, a variant of the Ford Fiesta built in plants in Europe and South Africa. Mazda also made an effort in the past to sell some of Ford's cars in Japan, mainly through its Autorama dealer group. Mazda also helped Ford develop the 1. Explorer, which Mazda sold as the 2- door only Mazda Navajo from 1. Ironically, Mazda's version was unsuccessful, while the Ford (available from the start as a 4- door or 2- door model) instantly became the best selling sport- utility vehicle in the United States and kept that title for over a decade. Mazda has used Ford's Ranger pickup as the basis for its North American–market B- Series trucks, starting in 1. Mazda discontinued importing its B- Series trucks to North America, due to costs associated with the chicken tax. Though the Millenia (and its Miller- type V6 engine) were discontinued in 2.

Henry Wallace was appointed President, and he set about restructuring Mazda and setting it on a new strategic direction. He laid out a new direction for the brand including the design of the present Mazda marque; he laid out a new product plan to achieve synergies with Ford, and he launched Mazda's digital innovation program to speed up the development of new products. At the same time, he started taking control of overseas distributors, rationalized dealerships and manufacturing facilities, and driving much needed efficiencies and cost reductions in Mazda's operations. Much of his early work put Mazda back into profitability and laid the foundations for future success. Wallace was succeeded by James Miller in November 1. December 1. 99. 9 by Ford executive Mark Fields, who has been credited with expanding Mazda's new product lineup and leading the turnaround during the early 2. Ford's increased influence during the 1. Mazda to claim another distinction in history, having maintained the first foreign- born head of a Japanese car company, Henry Wallace. Amid the world financial crisis in the fall of 2. Ford was contemplating a sale of its stake in Mazda as a way of streamlining its asset base. Ford and Mazda remained strategic partners through joint ventures and exchanges of technological information. Part of the proceeds were used to build an auto plant in Mexico. The motivation was brought on by market competition from other Japanese automakers efforts in offering vehicles at multiple Japanese dealership networks offered by Toyota, Nissan, and Honda. Mazda's implementation of brand diversification reflected a Japanese engineering philosophy, called Kansei engineering, which was used as an advertising slogan in North America. This selective marketing experiment was ended in the mid- 1. Japanese asset price bubble in 1. This diversification stressed the product development groups at Mazda past its limits. Instead of having a half- dozen variations on any given platform, developers were asked to work on dozens of different models and consumers were confused as well by the explosion of similar new models. One of the oddest sub- marques was M2, used on three rare variants of the Eunos Roadster (the M2- 1. M2- 1. 00. 2 and M2- 1. Autozam AZ- 1 (M2- 1. M2 even had its own avant- garde company headquarters, but was shut down after a very short period of operation. Today, the former marques no longer exist in Japan as sales channels. The Carol was sold at the Autozam store (which specialized in small cars), but it now sold with the Mazda marque, not as the Autozam Carol as it once was. In early 1. 99. 2 Mazda planned to release a luxury marque, Amati, to challenge Acura, Infiniti, and Lexus in North America, which was to begin selling in late 1. The initial Amati range would have included the Amati 5. Eunos 8. 00 in Japan and Australia, Mazda Millenia in the U. S., and Mazda Xedos 9 in Europe), a rebadged version of the Mazda Cosmo and the Amati 1. W1. 2 successor to the Mazda Luce). The Amati marque was eventually scrapped before any cars hit the market. It is perhaps just a curiosity, but . The Xedos line was marketed under the Mazda marque, and used the Mazda badge from the corresponding years. Emblems. Leadership. Jujiro Matsuda (1.

Knopf recently relaunched the library. Editor Sonny Mehta and writers Joan Didion and Z. Z. Packer talk about what makes a classic. NEAL CONAN, host: This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. If you're a dedicated browser of secondhand bookstores, you've probably come across the volumes of the Everyman's Library; small, beautifully bound hard covers that each feature this statement on the title page: Everyman, I will go with thee and be thy guide in thy most need to go by thy side. The Library is a literary treasure that includes more than a thousand titles, from Austen to Dickens to Marcus Aurelius. In 1. 90. 6, the Everyman Library was practically a philanthropic mission. Its founder, Joseph Malaby Dent, called it a democratic library at the democratic price of one shilling. A hundred years later, the publishing house of Alfred A. Knopf re- launched the Library, though it set prices a bit higher than one shilling. Along the way, though, Knopf acquired the question inherent to the Library: What belongs in a modern Everyman edition? Bill Blakemore The Family of Man. Copyright 1987, San Francisco Chronicle. Fans found it surprising in 1980 when Kubrick turned out a movie that was apparently no.![]() What constitutes a classic? This hour we'll talk with the publisher and head of Knopf about those questions. We'll also talk with authors Joan Didion and Z. Z. Packers about what they think makes a classic. Later on in the program we'll talk with the authors of the book “Impounded,” which if you'd like to take a look at some of the previously unreleased photos of World War II American interment camps, you can go to our Web page at npr. But first, what is a classic and what isn't? How do you tell a literary lion from a mere cub, and what books get overlooked? Join the conversation. Our number here in Washington is 8. E- mail us: talk@npr. Joining us now from the BBC studios in New York is the chairman and publisher of Knopf, Sonny Mehta. Nice to have you on the program today. SONNY MEHTA (Chairman and Publisher, Alfred A. Knopf): It's nice to be here. CONAN: The original Everyman Library was a rather remarkable achievement that began a hundred years ago. Tell us a little bit about its original mission. MEHTA: Well, it was started in February 1. Joseph Dent, who was a kind of a master London bookbinder turned publisher and was a classic Victorian autodidact. He was the 1. 0th child of a housepainter in Darlington, who left school at the age of 1. London and decided that he wanted to have a library that basically - of beautiful books that encompassed all that was lasting in literature. And his ambition was that for a few shillings the reader may have a whole bookshelf of the immortals. For five pounds, he will procure him 1. CONAN: And as he went about this - now he's not an academic, he's not somebody familiar with even the book publishing business - how did he decide what was a classic and what wasn't? MEHTA: Well, I think he and his son, and they had an extremely gifted editor who was instrumental I think in helping the books be chosen; a man called Ernest Rhys, who essentially edited the complete Library until his death. And they made some choices that might be considered sort of eccentric now but I think the first British author to have a complete works included in the Everyman Library was Jane Austen. CONAN: And not Shakespeare? MEHTA: No, it was Jane Austen, I believe, to have the complete works. MEHTA: Shakespeare was probably - was there very early on, but The Complete Jane Austen I think was the first complete set published. He was followed by Dickens with an introduction by C. K. Then came the great sort of Europeans - Dostoyevsky, Rabelais, Rousseau, Flaubert, Stendhal - and then the near contemporaries - Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry James, Conrad, DH Lawrence, W. Somerset Maugham, Virginia Woolf - and a host of people in- between who really aren't read as frequently as the authors I've just mentioned. CONAN: Now when you took over this imprint you had some decisions to make yourself. Now I assume some of these relate to questions like what can I get the rights to, but other than that, if it was an open intellectual question, how do you define a classic? MEHTA: Well, there are probably as many definitions about what makes a classic I think as classics. Actually, I think it was Mark Twain who described it as a book, which people praise and don't read. MEHTA: But the one I feel closest to is Clifton Fadiman's. And he said when you read a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before, you see more in you than there was before. CONAN: I guess by Twain's definition, it would be “A Brief History of Time” would qualify as a classic. I can think of some others, too, as a matter of fact. CONAN: Are there any that you've looked at and said, you know, maybe later, but not right now. MEHTA: Yes, I mean we are considering books all the time. We have a Web site that we encourage people to send in their suggestions. And we've had some very interesting suggestions, some of which actually have had - you know, pertain to books that we actually had in the pipeline, like say Paul Scott's “The Raj Quartet.” CONAN: Mm- hmm. MEHTA: But there have been some others that we haven't acted on. Like for instance there was a suggestion quite recently that we consider Jeffrey(ph) Felsen 1. Hot Rod.” I don't know whether you've come across that. CONAN: I seemed to have missed it in my education, yes. MEHTA: It's a huge bestseller through the '5. CONAN: We're going to want your suggestions on both classics that might be considered and on the question what constitutes a classic. If you'd like to join us: 8. TALK. E- mail us: talk@npr. But first, let's welcome Joan Didion to the conversation. Her new- collected book of nonfiction has been released as part of the Knopf Everyman series. It's called “We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live,” and she joins us from her home in New York. And it's nice to have you on TALK OF THE NATION today. JOAN DIDION: (Author, Essayist): It's nice to be here. CONAN: Now you've been included in the pantheon of nonfiction in the Everyman Library. It's - I guess you can go to bed happy. DIDION: Well, it's a little daunting, I have to say. DIDION: It was an exciting thing. CONAN: How do you think the decisions ought to be made? I don't know if you.. DIDION: You know, I don't even know what a classic is. ![]() It seems to me that basically what you're talking about at any given time, you're always going to end up with things that are going to seem eccentric to later generations. DIDION: But there's a certain body of knowledge at any given time, certain shared narratives and shared information that if you - theoretically, if you had a collection of books, you would - and you read - and everybody read all those, we would all share some knowledge. DIDION: And we would share some values maybe, and - but it's - so it's kind of something you feel as you go along. CONAN: Now you know Sonny Mehta, and I wonder do you call him up every once in awhile after you see a new edition in a bookstore and said you've got to be kidding. DIDION: No, I've never done that. DIDION: No, I feel - generally, it seems to me the choices have been quite good. CONAN: And as you say, it must be daunting to have your own work included in such a list. ![]() DIDION: Well, yes, it is. The other thing about Everyman's Library is basically it seems to me that most of the books in it have crossed two generations, which I hesitate to say is now true of my early work. It has now been read by two generations, and that's basically all we're talking about, I think. CONAN: And, Sonny Mehta, all of the stuff that we were talking about initially was fiction. Obviously, Joan Didion's nonfiction work is what you've included here. MEHTA: In this particular volume, yes. This is just nonfiction. But I think Dent set out not just to publish fiction. He did publish nonfiction, too. I'm thinking about Lord Chesterfield's letters to his grandson, for instance. MEHTA: There was a great deal of nonfiction because - and, you know, there will be more in the Everyman that we're currently working on. CONAN: Let's see if we can get a listener on the line, and this is Brook(ph). Brook joins us from Oklahoma City. BROOK (Caller): (Unintelligible) How are you guys today?

I'm an English teacher, and oftentimes I'm dialoguing with folks on the Advanced Placement Web site, and we often have the conversation about a book's literary merit. And I was wondering if our guests saw the literary merit and classic as interchangeable terms or if they're different terms. CONAN: What do you think, Joan Didion? DIDION: Well, as I say, I have trouble defining classic. DIDION: So I don't know. I mean obviously I think.. BROOK: (Unintelligible) great fights about what literary merit is, so.. DIDION: .. something - I mean we do want literary merit, I think, all of us.

And at the time it was nationwide. It was a book that - it was Giants in the Earth, it was called. It was by a Norwegian named Rolvaag. DIDION: And it was - and I had a - it was a - basically it was about American immigration, but it all took place in the Midwest. It was equally mystifying to me in Sacramento and to my husband, who was also assigned it in West Hartford, Connecticut. I mean certain books are assigned because they reflect a societal value. CONAN: So no threat, Sonny Mehta, that Giants in the Earth is going to be the next edition in the Everyman's Library. MEHTA: Well, I did in fact buy it about eight months after I came to work in America, which was about 1. I was traveling and someone had taken me I think it was Seattle, and we were making a progress across that sector, sort of visiting bookstores. And I bought a copy of that because everyone told me it was a classic. DIDION: That's - it's.. CONAN: Savoring every word, I take it. Brook, thanks very much for the call. CONAN: Good luck with your class. CONAN: And, Joan Didion, we wanted to thank you very much for being with us today. DIDION: Well, thank you. American Pastoral Review: Mc. Gregor Whiffs on Directorial Debut. American Pastoral opens this Friday in limited release. I think he’s a charming presence in films and despite his longevity in the industry (he’s been a star since 1. Trainspotting), he’s frequently underrated despite his range and versatility (he has no Oscar nominations and can only get lead roles in independent films). I hoped his directorial debut, American Pastoral, might not only allow him to show another dimension to his acting, but reveal a promising new career avenue. Sadly, Mc. Gregor’s adaptation of Philip Roth’s novel does neither. Instead, it’s a tedious, uninspired picture that could have worked if it had painted its hapless protagonist as an individual rather than an everyman. Mc. Gregor swings for the fences in his portrayal of an anguished father, but the only thing he hits is an obnoxious metaphor about how the 6. America. The film uses a framing device where writer Nathan Zuckerman (David Strathairn) is attending his high school reunion and bumps into his old friend Jerry Levov (Rupert Evans). He learns that Jerry’s brother, Seymour “Swede” Levov (Mc. Gregor) has recently passed away. Nathan admits he was out of the country for most of the 6. America. We then flashback to where Swede and his wife Dawn (Jennifer Connelly) raise their daughter Merry (Hannah Nordberg) on an idyllic farm. However, when Merry becomes a rebellious teenager (Dakota Fanning), she’s suspected of blowing up the local post office and goes on the run. Swede continues to hunt for his daughter, but the damage is done and his perfect life begins to crumble. Image via Lionsgate. If American Pastoral didn’t have its framing device and was just a story about a man trying to find his estranged daughter, it would work slightly better. The characters would still be broadly drawn, but at least Swede could stand in as an individual undergoing a personal crisis rather than an exemplar for America. As an individual, he’s a hurt parent who can’t give up on his wayward child. That may not carry any lofty subtext, but it’s a universal relationship and it’s where Mc. Gregor invests the film’s emotional energy. Unfortunately, the framing device sets up Swede as America’s golden boy. He’s a soldier (although one who came in at the tail- end of the war so he’s not scarred by PTSD; all of the glory, none of the scars!). He’s a proud businessman whose workforce is 8. African- American. He’s got the dream life of the upper middle class that was promised to every single American after World War II. And then his lefty daughter has to go and mess it all up. Image via Lionsgate. Swede doesn’t get painted as a person. He doesn’t have weaknesses. His biggest mistake is that he loves his daughter too much. He doesn’t give into temptation. He’s basically what white Americans think of when they look back at “better days” because for a white, heterosexual family man like Swede, the postwar 1. Swede’s Jewishness never seems to have any negative impact on his life, and it’s so rarely noted that he may as well be secular). Never mind that anyone who wasn’t a white, heterosexual male probably had a slightly rougher go of things. And anyone who comes to mess up Swede’s perfect existence is the enemy. In this case, it’s the radical left as represented by ne’er- do- well Merry. If Swede is the perfect American, then his wife and daughter are the ones who ruin everything. One day, Merry is a sweet, innocent girl (with the exception of one scene where she tries to seduce her father, a sloppy attempt at foreshadowing how she’ll come to ruin his life) and then we cut forward and she’s an angry radical. She’s now the poster child for how the 6. America, and that our downfall didn’t come from globalization or supply- side economics or any number of factors that shape a rich and diverse nation. It was those damn radical leftists and weak- willed women like Dawn who ran from their problems and hid away in cosmetic surgery. O, woe to the noble American white man. O, woe to the Swede. Image via TIFFIt’s not that Mc. Gregor seems to actively be pushing a political agenda as much as it’s a natural result of the framing device. Mc. Gregor is far more invested in the emotional stakes, but because the framing device recasts the characters as symbols, their emotional journey matters less than what those symbols represent. Mc. Gregor wants to give his fellow actors room to shine, but it all plays as melodrama rather than emotions from real people. The tenor of American Pastoral makes it seem like Mc. Gregor was drawn to the story about a family man whose life was ripped apart by a love for his daughter. In more confident, experienced hands, that could have been enough for a strong picture, and it seems like that’s the picture Mc. Gregor thought he made—a heartbreaking story of a father unable to save his child from her own bad decisions. But by trying to speak to something larger about American history, American Pastoral trips over its own words and spouts nonsense. Horror fiction - Wikipedia. Horror is a genre of fiction which is intended to, or has the capacity to frighten, scare, disgust, or startle their readers or viewers by inducing feelings of horror and terror. Cuddon has defined the horror story as . Horror is frequently supernatural, though it can be non- supernatural. Often the central menace of a work of horror fiction can be interpreted as a metaphor for the larger fears of a society. History. This marked the first incorporated elements of the supernatural instead of pure realism. In fact, the first edition was published disguised as an actual medieval romance from Italy discovered and republished by a fictitious translator. Once revealed as contemporary, many found it anachronistic, reactionary, or simply in poor taste — but it proved to be immediately popular. That first novel of Gothic horror inspired such works as Vathek (1. William Beckford, A Sicilian Romance (1. The Mysteries of Udolpho (1. The Italian (1. 79. Ann Radcliffe and The Monk (1. Matthew Lewis. A significant amount of horror fiction of this era was written by women and marketed at a female audience, a typical scenario being a resourceful female protagonist menaced in a gloomy castle. Influential works and characters that continue resonating with film and cinema today saw their genesis in such works as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1. Edgar Allan Poe, the works of Sheridan Le Fanu, Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1. Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1. Each of these novels and novellas created an enduring icon of horror seen in modern re- imaginings on the stage and screen. One writer who specialized in horror fiction for mainstream pulps such as All- Story Magazine was Tod Robbins, whose fiction dealt with themes of madness and cruelty. Particularly, the venerated horror author H. Lovecraft, and his enduring Cthulhu Mythos pioneered the genre of cosmic horror, and M. James is credited with redefining the ghost story in that era. Early cinema was inspired by many aspects of horror literature, and early horror cinema started a strong tradition of horror films and subgenres based on horror fiction that continues to this day. Up until the graphic depictions of violence and gore on the screen commonly associated with the 1. EC Comics (famous for series such as Tales From The Crypt) in the 1. Lovecraft stories such as . Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend (1. George A. Romero. Contemporary horror fiction. National Book Foundation in 2. Elements of the horror genre continue to expand outside the genre. The alternate history of more traditional historical horror in a novel such as The Terror exists on bookstore shelves next to genre mash ups such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and the historical fantasy and horror comics such as Hellblazer and Mike Mignola's Hellboy. Horror serves as one of the central genres in more complex modern works such as Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, a finalist for the National Book Award. There are also horror novels for teens, such as The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey. Characteristics. Lovecraft's most famous quotes about the genre is that: . Our ancestors lived and died by it. Then someone invented the fascinating game of civilization, and things began to calm down. Development pushed wilderness back from settled lands. War, crime, and other forms of social violence came with civilization and humans started preying on each other, but by and large daily life calmed down. We began to feel restless, to feel something missing: the excitement of living on the edge, the tension between hunter and hunted. So we told each other stories through the long, dark nights.. The rush of adrenaline feels good. Our hearts pound, our breath quickens, and we can imagine ourselves on the edge. Yet we also appreciate the insightful aspects of horror. Sometimes a story intends to shock and disgust, but the best horror intends to rattle our cages and shake us out of our complacency. It makes us think, forces us to confront ideas we might rather ignore, and challenges preconceptions of all kinds. Horror reminds us that the world is not always as safe as it seems, which exercises our mental muscles and reminds us to keep a little healthy caution close at hand. However, she adds that horror fiction is one of the few mediums where readers seek out a form of art that forces themselves to confront ideas and images they . In horror fiction, the confrontation with the gruesome is often a metaphor for the problems facing the current generation of the author. Stephanie Demetrakopoulos illustrates a common interpretation of one of the benchmarks of the canon of horror literature. Demetrakopoulos suggests Dracula was an outlet for Victorian society, breaking through sexual norms with symbolic group orgies, male desire for sexually aggressive women, denial of motherhood, etc. She highlights ways in which the females defy gender boundaries by embodying masculine traits such as intelligence. Judith Halberstam postulates many of these in her essay Technologies of Monstrosity: Bram Stoker's Dracula. The depiction of a multinational band of protagonists using the latest technologies (such as a telegraph) to quickly share, collate, and act upon new information is what leads to the destruction of the Vampire. This is one of many interpretations of the metaphor of only one central figure of the canon of horror fiction, as over a dozen possible metaphors are referenced in analysis, from the religious to the anti- semitic. In 1. 82. 6, the gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe published an essay distinguishing two elements of horror fiction, . In their historical studies of the gothic novel, both Devandra Varma. The Horror Writer's Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror novel Dracula. The International Horror Guild Award was presented annually to works of horror and dark fantasy from 1. Other important awards for horror literature are as subcategories included within general awards for fantasy and science fiction in such awards as the Aurealis Award. Alternate terms.
