Diana Souhami wins 2021 Polari prize for No Modernism Without

Dianna Souhami has worked for decades as a chronicler of sexual subcultures in early 20th century Europe, and finally, she is allowed to deliver her thesis: without this network of lesbians, the parties they through and the lovers they supported, modernism would not have been possible. She speaks with Jessa about our limited ideas of creativity and genius, why rewriting history is still important, and the lifelong project of lineage. The extraordinary story of how a singular group of women in a pivotal time and place – Paris, Between the Wars – fostered the birth of the Modernist movement. is niet bepaald flatterend. Dat ze een snor had, herhaalt Souhami ad nauseam. En dat deze handmaiden (Steins lover maar ook typiste, manager, kokkin, poetsvrouw) eigenlijk alle touwtjes strak in handen had en alle vrouwen jaloers en angstvallig van Stein weghield. Souhami lijkt niet zo hoog op te lopen met het werk van Stein, waar ze verrassend vaak de draak mee steekt. The Paris lesbians had to free themselves from male authority, the controlling hand, the forbidding edict. They escaped the disapproval of fathers and the repression of censors and lawmakers, defined their own terms and shaped their own lives. They did not reject all men – they were intrinsic to furthering the careers of writers, film-makers and artists whose work and ideas they admired.

In the NCB section, it just skips from 1940 to 1956???????????? I can't help but assume that this was due in part to NCB and Romaine Brooks (especially Brooks) having had some fascist sympathies during the war but it was a truly bizarre choice for a biography to skip over those years, particularly when the lives during the war of the other figures discussed in the book (Sylvia Beach, Bryher, and Gertrude Stein) are covered in detail.In this group biography, Souhami focuses on the remarkable lives of four visionary women who lived in Paris in between the two world wars and were significantly involved in the emergence of modernism as a literary and cultural movement. Sylvia Beach started the legendary Paris bookshop, Shakespeare and Company. She also published James Joyce's Ulysses, a controversial novel with which no other publisher in the world would even think of being associated at that time. Bryher, the daughter of the richest man in England, used her vast inheritance to fund new writing and film, support struggling artists, writers, and thinkers. Natalie Barney, most wealthy of all, strived to create a new Lesbos, the sapphic centre of the Western world, right in Paris. She embraced her lesbianism, had a plethora of concurrent romantic affairs, and lived like there was no tomorrow. Gertrude Stein was extremely pivotal in advancing the careers of modernist painters and writers, her stamp of approval was sought far and wide. She also broke the limits of what English prose can do and distilled lived realities into her works but her genius was tragically underappreciated. Sylvia Beach, Bryher, Natalie Barney, and Gertrude Stein. A trailblazing publisher; a patron of artists; a society hostess; a groundbreaking writer.

Wie meer wil lezen over dit onderwerp, navigeer ik met plezier naar de memoires van Sylvia Beach en haar brieven, het al genoemde boek van Fitch, en bijvoorbeeld ook “A Moveable Feast” van Hemingway en “The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas” van Gertrude Stein - zowaar een grappig en zeer leesbaar Stein boek, allicht het enige. Leuke bezigheid: zien hoe Hemingway en Stein - ooit de beste maatjes, tot ze elkaar niet meer konden luchten - elkaar de duvel aandoen in hun memoires.

No Modernism Without Lesbians by Diana Souhami | Goodreads No Modernism Without Lesbians by Diana Souhami | Goodreads

I started writing about lesbians 25 years ago in the hope of contributing to breaking the history of silence. Acceptance can't happen without openness, and I believe we should all try to speak out in our own way. If you're silent and invisible you're no trouble to anyone. You're so buried you're assumed not to be there. So, historically, we have to dig deep to shed light on 'these practices', rid them of insult, turn the wrongdoing around, name and shame the abusers." (Souhami quoted by Emily Reynolds) [10] Works [ edit ] Books [ edit ] Pretty interesting but somewhat overstayed its welcome. Maybe that's because the last quarter is about Gertrude Stein, who I can't stand. Souhami: How long was the night or how short were the … ? Nonetheless, she does turn these expectations on their head. She had her last love affair when she was 80. She met this woman on a park bench in Nice. … Well, I’ve just turned 80, so maybe I’ll try sitting on park benches. [ Laughs.] … But she did confound all these preconceptions of how women should behave, which is always refreshing, isn’t it? Over Bryher en Nathalie Barney wist ik nog niet zoveel, dus dat was interessanter, al lijkt de verdienste van beiden vooral te zijn geweest dat ze fabelachtig rijk waren en as such heel wat kunstenaars en projecten hebben ondersteund of mogelijk gemaakt. Zonder Beach geen Joyce, maar zonder Bryher ook geen Beach, enz. Van Barney onthoud ik vooral dat ze lak had aan alles en iedereen, en dat half (vrouwelijk) Parijs tussen haar lakens heeft gelegen (iets wat Virginia Woolf heel erg verwonderde, wat ik dan weer grappig vond). Souhami ends with some blithe mimicry of Stein’s echolalia, rejoicing in a Parisian paradise where “lovers of love and refreshment in life still loved, and loved lovers and loved love”. I abbreviate a long alliterating paragraph of hallelujahs: here is Capote’s daisy chain made of words, though the repetitions hardly erase memories of the miserable childhoods and agonising affairs Souhami has chronicled. Love is lovely and even heavenly, but sex, regardless of gender, can be diabolical.

A study of the anti-patriarchal women who played essential roles in the development of 20th-century modernism.
