Topic: Reclusiveness


  
  The Trail Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Lovecraft eventually left his reclusiveness with the help of pulp fiction magazines - specifically, his annoyance at the insipid love stories published all too often by The Argosy culminated in an irate letter that caught the attention of the United Amateur Press Association.
Although no longer a recluse, Lovecraft remained a private person, corresponding with the world mostly in the form of letters.
He is estimated to have written more than 100,000 letters in the 46 years that he lived, and he never met most of his friends in person.

 Emily Dickinson: Poet and Recluse - Articles - House of Hermits - Hermitary
To begin to understand the reclusiveness of the American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) requires empathy with her personality and with what she crafted from her psychology and life experiences.
Her reclusiveness was the result of an intensely-lived private world that she felt no one could share or comprehend.
But to Dickinson, reclusion was a choice against the vanity and oppression of the society she sought to eschew.

 Untitled Document
The difference, however, was that whereas Kandinsky's abstract work fell at once into a cultural context in Europe, Dove's had none.
His work was twice orphaned, by the general indifference of American taste and by his own reclusiveness.
Thus it never had the chance to be tested against the great arguments of metropolitan modernism; it remained a sequence of lyric meditations on nature, some beautiful, others clumsy and naive, but always isolated.

 The Letters of Christina Rossetti: Volume 3, 1882-1886   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Rossetti herself had been diagnosed with Graves' disease in 1872; by 1874 she had recovered but continued to use her earlier health problems to identify herself as a "semi-recluse," which allowed her a degree of freedom she might not have had otherwise.
This self-imposed reclusiveness, however, gave rise to a large correspondence, in which her interests and sensibilities were given broad exposure.
She devoted more time to favored causes, including antivivisectionism and the protection of minors, and her letters afford the reader an in-depth perspective on these and other public issues and on the personal values underlying her opinions.

 Amazon.fr : Salinger: A Biography: Livres: Paul Alexander   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
So averse to any kind of publicity that he went to court to prevent a previous biography, J.D. Salinger will undoubtedly be distressed by this book as well, especially since author Paul Alexander suggests that the writer's reclusiveness might be just a shrewd ploy to pique readers' interest and maintain good sales for his books.
While designed to capture the elusive quality of the notoriously reclusive writer, the jacket also reflects the book's fuzziness and skimpy feel.
Although Alexander, who wrote a biography of Sylvia Plath, interviewed a number of people and used the research files of Ian Hamilton (In Search of J.D. Salinger) and the newly opened New Yorker archive at the New York Public Library, the result is primarily a cut-and-paste pastiche of secondary sources.

The announcement of a new Terrence MalickTerrence Malick picture elicits the same kind of excited anticipation among cineastes that Stanley Kubrick's films did before his death in 1999.
Malick, whose reclusiveness would give J.D. Salinger a run for the money, has averaged one featurefeature every eight years as a director, compared with Kubrick's one in four.
So there was a collective sigh of disappointment when Malick in March abruptly walked off a planned biopicbiopic of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, who was to be played by Benicio Del ToroBenicio Del Toro.

Alt-country pioneers Cottonhead have become somewhat of an underground institution now in their home of New York City, despite the unrelenting reclusiveness of songwriter Greg Talenfeld.
Gracing the stages of such finer venues as The Bottom Line, The Living Room, Fez, The Mercury Lounge and other equally reputable establishments for nigh on twelve years now, Talenfeld's reluctance to perform publicly is offset only by singer Mary Birdsong's heartfelt enthusiasm, deep-rooted optimism and faith.
Despite the unrelenting reports in the media of their unpleasant yet inevitable break-up, the band invariably re-appears with a new CD and a new bass amp.

 Random House for High School Teachers | Catalog | The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1830 and, except for a few excursions to Philadelphia, Washington, and Boston, spent her entire life there, increasingly limiting her activities to her father's house.
"I do not cross my Father's ground to any House or Town," she wrote, referring to a personal reclusiveness that was noticeable even to her contemporaries.
In the front corner bedroom of that house on Main Street, Dickinson wrote over 1,700 poems, often on scraps of paper and on the backs of grocery lists, only a handful of which were published in her lifetime and then anonymously.

 Bolinas Lagoon & Duxbury Reef | CA: Northern California Sea Kayak Tours
Besides mud, a potential sticking point to paddling here may be its proximity to the backwater bohemian burg of Bolinas.
Although most Bolinians are outwardly friendly, they prefer life off the beaten path, and undercurrents of reclusiveness persist—evidenced by the fact that no sign on Highway 1 marks the turnoff to their quiet village because locals tear it down.
The desire for solitude (captured in a tongue-in-cheek bumper sticker we saw there recently which read, “Why do they call it ‘tourist season’ if you’re not allowed to shoot them?”) seems to stem from respect for their surroundings, an honest yearning not to have their peaceful and picturesque spot overrun by uncaring outsiders.

 Nora M. Alter / Chris Marker
Having spearheaded the bourgeoning Nouvelle Vague scene in the late 1950s and developed a distinctive style involving still images, Chris Marker (born Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve) stands among the most influential filmmakers of the postwar era, yet remains enigmatic.
His notorious reclusiveness has led to surprisingly few studies, and Nora M. Alter's Chris Marker presents the first English-language study of the director.
Marker's 1953 debut "filmic essay," The Statues Also Die (with Alain Resnais) exposed the European art market's complicity in the former Belgian Congo atrocities, and provided a bold model for other politically committed filmmakers.
