![]() The person you meet at the end can’t help being dwarfed by the reputation that precedes him in the form of controversy and celebration, Pulitzer Prizes and bad reviews. To interview Albee, as I recently did, is to encounter an icon of American culture, and preparing turns out to be a little bit like approaching the Wizard of Oz. I have never met anyone who has only one feeling about Edward Albee. ![]() “Sordid, sick and cesspool deep!” With a kind of perverse pride, the 1970 paperback edition of Tiny Alice trumpets quotes like this from those who denounce the author as well as those as “the most distinguished playwright in the history of American theatre.” For book-cover copy, this is a rare instance of truth-in-advertising. ![]()

![]() Thank you, Staci Hart, for your gigantic open heart and for the most precious resources you offer me with abandon: your time, your strength, and your many mad skills. I loved going through this crazy year with you. Aubin, for your tireless encouragement and your trust and bravery in the face of unthinkable adversity. Thank you, my ladies, for helping me to survive. And as I look around at the wonderful change that is happening through and on behalf of women, I’m so happy to be here to see it.

Throughout history, women have been supporting, elevating, protecting, and loving each other. ![]() ![]() And they are precious, but I was wrong about them being rare. I used to think that these fierce and wonderful female friendships and business relationships were rare and precious.

They’ve renewed plenty of shows that probably weren’t intended to be, like 13 Reasons Why, because they were so successful, so it’s definitely a possibility that they’ll do the same with TOTC. Butttttt, Netflix is all about those (heavily guarded) numbers. Netflix is calling it a “limited series,” which signals that it won’t be a show that runs for a bunch of seasons. While Anna Madrigal imprisons an anchorwoman in her basement, Michael Tolliver looks for love at the National Gay Rodeo, DeDe Halcyon Day and Mary Ann Singleton track a charismatic psychopath across Alaska, and society columnist Prue Giroux loses her heart to a derelict living in San Francisco park. Just like the first TV adaption of Tales of the City, the Netflix version is also a mini series. The question is.will there be another season? Here’s what we know so far. Present-day San Fran is a little different now than it was in the ’70s, but there’s still that celebration of queerness that fans loved in the original series. Netflix revived the series for 2019, with a bunch of OG cast members (like Laura, Olympia, and Paul Gross) returning to the show. ![]() Although season 3 of the show, Further Tales of the City, ended in 2001, the story was far from over. ![]() ![]() Next up: two massive shows at Jazz Fest that are not to be missed.

He has worked with some of the biggest names in rock, pop, jazz, funk, and hip hop. He is best known as a trombone and trumpet player but also plays drums, organ, and tuba. ![]() Born into a family of New Orleans musicians, Troy Andrews (aka Trombone Shorty) grew up shadowing the city’s famed second line bands and busking on the streets of the French Quarter until his pockets runneth over.

"This book is impossible to put down because Kerman] could be you. ![]() What I did not expect from this memoir was the affection, compassion, and even reverence that Piper Kerman demonstrates for all the women she encountered while she was locked away in jail. It's a story rich with humor, pathos, and redemption. The true subject of this unforgettable book is female bonding and the ties that even bars can't unbind." Heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging, Kerman's story offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison-why it is we lock so many away and what happens to them when they're there. She meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with small tokens of generosity, hard words of wisdom, and simple acts of acceptance. ![]() From her first strip search to her final release, Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its strictly enforced codes of behavior and arbitrary rules.

With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money ten years before. ![]() |
