The movie's got a sort of mid-1960s innocence to it, and when Xaviera pedals between clients on her ten-speed bike she almost seems to be hooking just for the fresh air. I'm not sure how much it will help the box office but, by and large, she's right. Miss Redgrave is the distinguished British actress, daughter of Sir Michael, sister of Vanessa, who vowed when "The Happy Hooker" started filming that it would he a tasteful comedy and wouldn't embarrass the family. That's largely due to the charm of Lynn Redgrave, in the title role. What was the last bordello epic you saw in which all the most interesting scenes were set in the parlor? The movie at times makes Miss Hollander's enterprise seem so wholesome, so much of a spirit with such other money-makers as commodity futures and the franchising game, that it's a wonder the postal service hasn't commemorated the industry by now. No, I like the R rating for "The Happy Hooker." It gives the movie a certain restraining charm. That's not to say I would have preferred an X-rated porno flick like "The Life and Times of Xaviera Hollander," which opened here during the summer to little or no acclaim. As well as accounts relating to hedges and ditches of an ‘Estate in Great Crosthwaite’, family history and land transactions, there were the accounts of Thomas Stevenson, a 17th century Leith Merchant predominantly making payments to a London draper and a collection of recipes for remedies for the likes of whooping cough and consumption.įurther lots included a collection of Tracts relating to Westmorland from the 19th and early 20th century (sold for £4,200), and an archive of material that interwove the life of Anne Parsons, Countess Rosse (the mother of Tony Armstrong-Jones, Lord Snowdon), with Womersley Hall and the Parsons and Gladstone families (sold for £1,700).

From Red’s father and mother, newly arrived in Baltimore in the 1920s, to Abby and Red’s grandchildren carrying the family legacy boisterously into the twenty-first century, here are four generations of Whitshanks, their lives unfolding in and around the sprawling, lovingly worn Baltimore house that has always been their anchor.īrimming with all the insight, humor, and generosity of spirit that are the hallmarks of Anne Tyler’s work, A Spool of Blue Thread tells a poignant yet unsentimental story in praise of family in all its emotional complexity. But they are also like all families, in that the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the picture.Ībby and Red and their four grown children have accumulated not only tender moments, laughter, and celebrations, but also jealousies, disappointments, and carefully guarded secrets. The Whitshanks are one of those families that radiate togetherness: an indefinable, enviable kind of specialness. This is how Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959.

The father Joe was the patriarchal owner of the San Francisco Wolves NFL franchise and the San Francisco Tribune newspaper.

Doyle regretted that the Holmes stories had overshadowed his other writings, but it is not clear that posterity did him an injustice by ignoring most of his non-Holmesian work. As this discussion indicates, the authors are not entirely successful in their attempt to refocus attention from Sherlock Holmes to Conan Doyle's other interests. They doubt that Holmes's almost magical feats of deduction are as similar to the thought processes of diagnosticians as has sometimes been claimed, but they make it clear that had Doyle not been a doctor, Holmes would have been a rather different detective. (Sherlock Holmes, as many readers will remember, injects morphine or cocaine whenever boredom strikes.) More significantly, perhaps, they point out that the very conception of Holmes as a character owes something to Doyle's experience of diagnosis. Rodin and Key catalogue these references exhaustively and credit Doyle with enlightened attitudes towards the diseases (not usually recognized as such before the twentieth century) of alcoholism and drug addiction. Far more interesting are the many references to medicine, doctors, and disease in his fiction. Doyle continued to write occasional articles for medical journals until late in life, but it would be hard to argue that his contributions to medical science were very important. In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:ġ66 BOOK REVIEWS become more interesting to him than the practice of medicine, and Sherlock Holmes was already a lucrative property. In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and “law and order” may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside. Though Brooklyn, Manny, Bronca, Venezia, Padmini, and Neek have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading-and destroying the entire universe in the process-the mysterious capital “E” Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal.
