“I think people are always looking for gurus. It's the easiest thing in the world to become a guru. It's quite terrifying. I once saw something fascinating here in New York. It must have been in the early seventies--guru time. A man used to go and sit in Central Park, wearing elaborate golden robes. He never once opened his mouth, he just sat. He'd appear at lunchtime. People appeared from everywhere, because he was obviously a holy man, and this went on for months. They just sat around him in reverent silence. Eventually he got fed up with it and left. Yes. It's as easy as that.” PeopleThinkingMenWorldHas BeensUsedLeftEasySilenceSawsNew YorkMonthsHolyMouthsGoldenSatParksFascinatingFedsSeventiesGuruRobesFed UpHoly ManCentral ParkLunchtime Author:Doris Lessing
“Christina Baker Kline writes exquisitely about two unlikely friends—one, a 91-year-old survivor of the grinding poverty of rural Ireland, immigrant New York and the hardscrabble Midwest; and the other, a casualty of a string of foster homes—each struggling to transcend a past of isolation and hardship. Orphan Train will hold you in its grip as their fascinating tales unfold.” WritingYearsTwoHomePastPovertyStruggleNew YorkTrainTalesIsolationFascinatingImmigrantsStringsHardshipSurvivorIrelandUnlikelyOrphanCasualtiesBakersMidwestChristina Author:Cathy Marie Buchanan

I saw a wonderful production of Jessica Lange doing Streetcar with Alec Baldwin. It was gorgeous. It's a measure of what a great classic that is, that our Cate Blanchett also did an absolute amazing Blanche in Sydney, as well as in New York.” PeopleWellsKindMadeChoicesSawsWonderfulNew YorkDecidedAbsolutesProductionsMade ItClassicFascinatingGorgeousExhilaratingSydneyJessicaBlanche Author:Jacki Weaver
