When Dorothy, a Harlem schoolteacher, tries to save her dog from a storm, she's miraculously carried away to an urban fantasy land called Oz. After accidentally killing the Wicked Witch of the East upon her arrival, Dorothy learns about the Wiz, a wizard who can help her get back to Manhattan.

Her first role was her Golden Globe Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Billie Holiday in the film Lady Sings the Blues (1972), becoming the first African-American actress to receive an Academy Award nomination for a debut film performance; she also recorded its soundtrack, which became her only solo album to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

Book Discussion | Victorian Psycho: A Novel of a Bloodthirsty Governess (online)


Virginia Feito discusses her the riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance. Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess―she’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate’s dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family―Mr. Pounds can’t keep his eyes off Winifred’s chest, and Mrs. Pounds takes a sickly pleasure in punishing Winifred for her husband’s wandering gaze. Compounded with her disdain for the entitled Pounds children, Winifred finds herself struggling at every turn to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. French tutoring and needlework are one way to pass the time, as is admiring the ugly portraits in the gallery . . . and creeping across the moonlit lawns. . .

Book Discussion | Negotiating with the Devil: Inside the World of Armed Conflict Mediation


After many years in the little-known world of back-channel mediation, helping sworn adversaries to prevent, manage or resolve conflict, author Pierre Hazan reaximines the practical and ethical dilemmas that affected his work in Bosnia, Ukraine, the Sahel and the Central African Republic, and reflects more generally on the evolving conditions affecting mediation and conflict resolution. Should governments talk to terrorists? Should war criminals be included in dialogue? When trying to bring peace, should we “negotiate with the devil”? In this discussion Hazan will also consider how mediation needs to adapt to new forms of war (cyber), new technologies (AI), and a new geopolitical environment, characterized by more conflicts, less multilateralism, less of a role played by the UN, and less adherence to International Humanitarian Law?
