I haven't read it and don't know if I will, having OD'd on the genre. She spent the next few years using her sexuality as a way of attracting the male approval she had been conditioned to seek out as a child, while becoming increasingly unfaithful to the religious dogma of her past. Afraid, in part, that her behavior would affect the marriage prospects of their other children, they put her on a plane and cut off ties.Ĭast out in New York City, without a father or husband tethering her to the Orthodox community, Leah was unprepared to navigate the freedoms of secular life.

With a new cast and different staging this time round, can they re-bottle the lighting? Now the team are preparing to install the vastnessof an ocean in the Duke of York’s Theatre. The sellout production was supposed to transfer last year, but the pandemic got in the way. “I knew it was going to be good, but I didn’t know it was going to be magic,” Gaiman laughs, recalling the original staging of his monster-riddled, grief-stricken story at the Dorfman theatre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Risking everything, Meera runs away, escaping into the chaos of the rebellion.

Bennett Cerf: the co-owner of Random House, might flutter around the edges of show business as a Broadway groupie, a joke anthologist, and a panel member on the TV quiz show “What’s My Line?,” but when it came to his publishing persona he expected to be taken seriously: he worried about books “in bad taste,” with the result that he failed to buy “Lolita” when it was offered to him. Of course, it was a façade, paper-thin and getting thinner, but it was how book publishers wanted to be perceived, and mostly were. The business was being run, for the most part, by men in suits or in donnish tweeds, with pipes, who were either Ivy League Wasps or Jews whose highest ambition was to be mistaken for Wasps. When I joined Simon & Schuster, in the late summer of 1958, book publishing still thought of itself as a respectable profession.
