Interview with Prof Tiffany Gill

Beauty Shop $12.73 While the men of Barbershop and Barbershop 2 have plenty to mouth off about, they may have met their match in the female staff and clientele of a nearby beauty shop. Directed by Bille Woodruff, Beauty Shop revolves around these women led by Gina (Queen Latifah), who opened Beauty Shop to give all the females in the community, from a conservative Southern socialite (Andie MacDowell) to a poetry-reciting stylist, a place to talk about life, love, and the issues of the day, all while getting their hair done. Bryce Wilson puts in a supporting performance, as does Kevin Bacon, who plays the snooty owner of a rival salon. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi securing a loan with some resourceful tactics. Situated squarely in the ghetto and featuring a revolving cast of eccentric characters, the shop’s quirky employees provide a constant stream of witty banter. Meanwhile the electrician who lives upstairs (Djimon Hounsou, AMISTAD) slowly wins Gina’s heart. Despite challenges, Gina maintains grace, humor, and a magnanimous air that sees her through everything.The ensemble cast of this feel-good comedy at times eclipses its good-natured star, who functions as a den mother to the madness. Andi MacDowell and Mena Suvari play wealthy Atlanta socialites who defect to Gina’s shop, while Gospel legend Della Reese also makes an appearance. Bryce Wilson’s turn as an ex-convict stylist of questionable sexual orientation provides humor at his expense, while Alicia Silverstone’s bumbling black-girl wanna-be is so charming that we forgive her fake accent. Building upon the success of the BARBERSHOP franchise, BEAUTY SHOP holds its own both in its comedic acuity, and in its inspirational story of an underdog who comes out on top through force of will and strength of spirit.

Beauty Shop Tales $5.09 Avril Carson had to try. Because the hairdresser-turned-actress (turned hairdresser) had left little Sago Beach, Florida, with her whole life in front of her and the man she’d loved by her side. Now she’d come back, with his ashes in an urn, and not even the chance of a child in her future. But she had a sneaking suspicion there was one in her late husband’s not too-distant past… And as for romance — well, those days were behind her. Or were they? For Max Wright was pursuing her with a vengeance that made her feel things she thought she’d never feel again. Maybe it was time to practice some beauty shop magic on herself…

When her egotistical boss, Jorge (Kevin Bacon), takes credit for her work, she leaves the salon with shampoo girl Lynn (Alicia Silverstone) in tow to open a shop of her own.

Shop Talk $4.58 In Philip Roth’s intimate intellectual encounters with an international and diverse cast of writers, they explore the importance of region, politics, and history in their work and trace the imaginative path by which a writer’s highly individualised art is informed by the wider conditions of life. Milan Kundera and Czechoslovakia, Primo Levi and Auschwitz, Edna O’Brien and Ireland, Aharon Appelfeld and Bukovina, Ivan Kl-ma and Prague, Isaac Singer and Warsaw, Bruno Schulz and Poland – what is the intricate transaction between the susceptible writer and the provocative time and place? Roth’s questions go to the original conditions that stimulate the narrative impulse, and he puts them to writers who are as attuned to the subtleties of literature as to the influence of the surrounding society. Also included here are appreciative portraits of two of Roth’s late friends, each transfixed till the end by his artistic vocation – the writer Bernard Malamud and the painter Philip Guston – as well as several cartoons drawn by Guston, a gift to Roth to illustrate his novella The Breast and printed here for the first time. Shop Talk concludes with Roth’s essay ‘Rereading Saul Bellow’, a vivid presentation of Bellow’s achievement and, in the spirit of this collection, very much a colleague’s reading.

Ugly Beauty: $17.8 A dual biography of the legendary founders of the cosmetics industry–Helena Rubinstein and L’Oréal’s Eugène Schueller–that is also a gripping and disturbing story of gender, power, and politics that stretches back to the evils of World War II and beyond. Helena Rubinstein and Eugène Schueller started out in the beauty business within a few years of each other, and soon came to dominate it. But they could not have been more different. Rubinstein, a Polish Jew, claimed the world of paid work for women, and working women’s enthusiasm for her products made her the first female millionaire. Schueller, a Frenchman, and a conservative in the Henry Ford mould, thought woman belonged in the home, and used the beauty business as a source of cash to buy economic and political influence in the embryonic French fascist state during the war. Schueller won, in the sense that his firm eventually swallowed Rubinstein’s. But victory cost him his reputation when in the wake of the takeover he was exposed as a Nazi collaborator. And his wartime activities had been abetted and condoned by a cadre of young men who, by the time the scandal broke, had scaled the peaks of wealth and power in postwar France. If they had collaborated, one had to wonder who had not? Arguing that the battle between Schueller and Rubinstein continues on a metaphorical level to this day, cultural historian and biographer Ruth Brandon uses their conflict to ask important contemporary questions about feminism, standards of beauty, and the often murky intersection of individual political aims and the role of business. Drawn from incredible archival material and a vast historical record, Ugly Beauty is a riveting true story that reads like a thriller, filled with remarkable twists, turns, and larger-than-life characters.

Archform: Beauty $6.99 Most readers recognize L. E. Modesitt, Jr., as the author of a favorite fantasy series, be it The Magic of Recluce or The Spellsong Cycle. It’s always a special treat when he turns his hand again to SF and Archform: Beauty is no exception. Four centuries in the future, the world is rich–nanomachines watch the health of the wealthy and manufacture food and gadgets for everybody–but no Utopia, as we see in the lives of five very different people. A singing teacher suffers for her music and fights bureaucracy and apathy. A news researcher delivers the essential background details but can’t help looking deeper and wondering about the real story behind the grim incidents that make the headlines. A police investigator, assigned to study trends, begins to see a truly sinister pattern behind a series of seemingly unrelated crimes and deaths. A politician aids his constituents, fights the good fight, and tries to get reelected without compromising his principles. A ruthless businessman strives to make his family powerful, wealthy, and independent. Theirs is a society where technology takes care of everyone’s basic needs but leaves most people struggling to extract a meaningful life from a world crowded with wonders but empty of commitment and human connection. Alternating the voices and experiences of these five characters in a tour de force of imaginative creation, Modesitt overlaps, combines, and builds their disparate stories into a brilliant tale of future crime and investigation, esthetic challenge and personal triumph. In the same way that he has built fantasy landscapes of surpassing fascination, Modesitt creates a believable future, one imbued with a deep understanding of the way politics works and how people act and react when their sense of themselves, of justice and truth, is exploited by others for power and control. When there’s nothing left to need or want, will beauty live on in people’s lives or disappear forever? L. E. Modesitt, Jr. asks difficult questions, sets himself unlikely challenges, and once again delivers an absorbing tale that enlightens, entertains, and uplifts all at once.

The Ascent of George Washington The Hidden Political Genius of an American Icon (Hardcover) Book $30 Bestselling historian John Ferling draws on his unsurpassed knowledge of the Founding Fathers to provide a fresh and provocative new portrait of the greatest of them all, George Washington. Even compared to his fellow founders, George Washington stands tall. Our first president has long been considered a stoic hero, holding himself above the rough-and-tumble politics of his day. Now John Ferling peers behind that image, carefully burnished by Washington himself, to show us a leader who was not only not above politics, but a canny infightera master of persuasion, manipulation, and deniability. In the War of Independence, Washington used his skills to steer the Continental Army through crises that would have broken less determined men; he squeezed out rival generals and defused dissent from those below him. Ending the war as a national hero, Washington allowed himself to be pressed into the presidency, guiding the nation with the same brilliantly maintained pose of selfless public interest. In short, Washington deftly screened a burning ambition behind his image of republican virtuebut that image, maintained not without cost, made him just the leader the overmatched army, and then the shaky young nation, desperately needed. Ferling argues that not only was Washington one of Americas most adroit politiciansthe proof of his genius is that he is no longer thought of as a politician at all.

Politician An Insiders Account of John Edwards Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down (Hardcover) Book $24.99 A key player in the scandal surrounding John Edwards’s extramarital affair, which resulted in a child, explains his role in the controversy and gives a behind-the-scenes look at the fruitless efforts to cover up what inevitably became public knowledge. The greatest political saga, the one that has it all, that gets to the real heart of American politics, is the John Edwards story… This isnt just politics, its literature. Its the great American novel, the kind that isnt written anymore. –Michael Wolff on John Edwards’s trajectory, on VanityFair.com The underside of modern American politics — raw ambition, manipulation, and deception — are revealed in detail by Andrew Youngs riveting account of a presidential hopefuls meteoric rise and scandalous fall. Like a non-fiction version of All the Kings Men, The Politician offers a truly disturbing, even shocking perspective on the risks taken and tactics employed by a man determined to rule the most powerful nation on earth. Idealistic and ambitious, Andrew Young volunteered for the John Edwards campaign for Senate in 1998 and quickly became the candidates right hand man. As the senator became a national star, Youngs responsibilities grew. For a decade he was this politicians confidant and he was assured he was like family. In time, however, Young was drawn into a series of questionable assignments that culminated with Edwards asking him to help conceal the Senators ongoing adultery. Days before the 2008 presidential primaries began, Young gained international notoriety when he told the world that he was the father of a child being carried by a woman named Rielle Hunter, who was actually the senators mistress. While Young began a life on the run, hiding from the press with his family and alleged mistress, John Edwards continued to pursue the presidency and then the Vice Presidency in the future Obama administration. Young had been the senators closest aide and most trusted friend. He believed that John Edwards could be a great president, and was assured throughout the cover-up that his boss and friend would ultimately step forward to both tell the truth and protect his aides career. Neither promise was kept. Not only a moving personal account of Andrew Youngs political education, THE POLITICIAN offers a look at the trajectory which made John Edwards the ideal Democratic candidate for president, and the hubris which brought him down, leaving his career, his marriage and his dreams in ashes.

In Final Salute, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jim Sheeler weaves together the stories of the fallen, the broken homes they have left behind, and one man’s effort to help heal the wounds of those left grieving.
