William Joseph Gavin: William James and the Reinstatement of the Vague In this book, William Gavin argues that James's plea for the "reinstatement of the vague" to its proper place in our experience should be regarded as a seminal metaphor for this thought in general. Finally, Gavin provides a pragmatic upshot of James's plea, reaffirming the importance of the vague in two concrete areas: the doctor-patient relationship in medicine and the creating and experiencing of modern art. Taking James's plea seriously, Gavin looks to the work of other philosophers—including Peirce, Marx, Dewey, and, to a lesser extent, Rorty and Derrida—and shows that a version of James's position is central to their thought. www.temple.edu /tempress/titles/866_reg.html   (392 words)

Deep in a Dream: The Long Night of Chet Baker - James Gavin Gavin also lends an even hand to the controversies then and now over Baker’s talents as a singer Dismissed as unskilled among jazz singers of the time like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan, Baker’s plaintive singing voice actually developed because he was nervous over not being able to read music. Gavin leaves no stone unturned on Baker’s personal life, often of tabloid taste with vulgar factoids such as genital sizes of musicians or pulpy scenes of a gun-slinging jealous wife. Gavin’s fascinating work adds to the drama and mystique of Baker’s dual nature, drawing a portrait of a sexy, self-effacing, self-destructive talent whose disillusionment fueled both magic and destruction. www.culturevulture.net /Books2/DeepinaDream.htm   (983 words)
