Hazard and Dance: Revisiting Two Angela Carter Novels

Last updated on: July 13, 2018 at 3:55 pm By Eve Tushnet

Back in high school I’m not sure I read any author as obsessively as I read Angela Carter. I gobbled everything I could get my hands on. I loved her ferocity, her voracity, that hedonistic prose, reading her is like eating cake with too much frosting, it smears all over your face. (She overworked comma splices the way I abuse semicolons. The comma splice is the grammatical form of rush and ecstasy, headlong and greedy, each phrase spilling out of its... Read more

Is Recovery Anti-Literary? I review the new Leslie Jamison memoir/literary analysis

Last updated on: July 8, 2018 at 8:56 pm By Eve Tushnet

for AmCon: When Leslie Jamison realized she had to quit drinking, she was also giving up on everything she’d ever been taught about literature. By the time Jamison took her last drink (so far), she had been taught by the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and by most of her mentors and professors, a credo totally opposite from what she was learning in her 12-Step recovery. Lit culture prized originality, but AA scorned “terminal uniqueness,” the false belief that you alone cannot... Read more

Survival Is the Least of My Desires: Short movie reviews

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 11:36 pm By Eve Tushnet

(Title via Dorothy Allison.) Carriers: How long can you sustain pre-apocalyptic morals in a post-apocalyptic world? Carriers is a surprisingly heartfelt and effective plague tale. Its turning point isn’t all that well-thought-through (a kid will poop where you want them to if you wait long enough, I’m just saying), but the characters’ relationships work, the backstory comes out with surprising suspense and naturalness, and the sun-soaked setting makes the despair and violence more real. A horror film that’s also about... Read more

A Great New Art Film About the Childhood of Joan of Arc

Last updated on: July 8, 2018 at 8:57 pm By Eve Tushnet

which I review for the American Interest: Many of our most formative experiences—the extremes of pain or joy, moments of terror or sexual ecstasy—can’t be represented within the conventions of so-called realism. In his new film Jeanette, The Childhood of Joan of Arc, writer-director Bruno Dumont (Outside Satan, Hadewijch) attempts to bring his audience inside two of these most personal and disorienting forms of experience: childhood, in which we have not yet learned what to expect from ordinary life; and religious vision,...

You Can Quit ICE

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 3:29 pm By Eve Tushnet

In March, James Schwab quit ICE because he didn’t want to repeat his superiors’ distortions of the truth. “I told them that the information was wrong,” he said. “They asked me to deflect, and I didn’t agree with that.” In April, Jordon Dyrdahl-Roberts quit his post at the Montana Department of Labor rather than help deport undocumented workers. And a couple weeks ago, Antar Davidson quit ICE when he was told he could not allow sobbing children to hug one... Read more

Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your…: I review “Hereditary”

Last updated on: June 18, 2018 at 12:27 pm By Eve Tushnet

(and beat up a bit on The Babadook) There are deaths that liberate a family. In an interview with radio host Marc Maron, John Darnielle of the indie band The Mountain Goats says that he was only able to write the autobiographical album “The Sunset Tree” after his abusive stepfather had died. And since he sang about his experiences of abuse, other survivors would come up to him at shows and talk to him about it. Darnielle told Maron that... Read more

There’s a Place for Us Part II: More on Revoice & Gay Christian Homemaking

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 12:55 am By Eve Tushnet

Part One was all about how straight people are wonderful and we would like to be your friends! Part Two is… not about that. Sometimes when I talk about my own experiences of same-sex friendship, I’ll talk about the times when sexual desire transformed, over time, into deep friendship. Most of my friendships with women did not start with crushes (in the words of a t-shirt I spotted at Pride, “I’M BISEXUAL BUT I’M STILL NOT INTO YOU”). But a... Read more

There’s a Place for Us: Revoice and Gay Christian Futures

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 12:29 pm By Eve Tushnet

I’m speaking at Revoice, a conference in St Louis next month aimed at “supporting, encouraging and empowering LGBT+ Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” This seems like a good chance to yap a bit about what I see as my main projects w/r/t gay and same-sex attracted people in the churches. The conference has proved controversial and I’ll gesture at oblique replies to some of that controversy, but I don’t want... Read more

“You Have Heard It Said: Visit the Imprisoned. But What About Their Guards?”

Last updated on: May 31, 2018 at 12:03 pm By Eve Tushnet

I’m in America magazine: …At the crucifixion, the two people who confessed Jesus as Lord were a fellow prisoner and the centurion assigned to guard them. From the very beginning, Christ came to deliver not only captives but their guards. And yet today, startlingly few Christian ministries exist to serve those who work in jails and prisons. Chaplains and other Christian volunteers come to visit inmates—following Jesus’ call in Matthew 25:36—but corrections officers are mostly left to handle their spiritual... Read more

PEOPLE OF EARTH. On July 26 – 28, I will be in St. Louis for Revoice, a conference on “LGBT flourishing in historic Christian traditions.” If you’re interested in my extremely slowly-progressing book draft, about experiencing God’s tenderness as a gay Christian, you can hear all about it there. But more importantly, you will get to meet a lot of other people in the wonderful and wild community of lgbt people seeking to live in obedience to Christian sexual discipline.... Read more
