1936ref. 0001305Cleveland OHIO OH. Very Good. 1936. On offer is an original manuscript diary and fascinating piece of Americana being a diary written by a woman who seems to be the most self centered young woman that one can imagine. Of the 2/3 or so filled diary has entries dripping with self absorption brimming with self entitlement with a backdrop of physical pain and illness this woman may or may not being feeling. A snippet that says much: 'one of Bill's patients died last night at 12:30 so my sleep was broken ' later in a very serious tone: 'Mother just discovered Tommy our canary bird dead. We didn't even know he was sick.' This woman is a psychology thesis in human form. While unidentified we believe she is married to a Doctor William Bill Schiller though it could be Schillier. Our author is a late 20s maybe early 30s woman recently married but her family may have pushed her into it somehow. A newish doctor still wanting to go back to school for surgical training he works day and night. He is most likely staying out on purpose and by August they are in the process of divorcing. She writes: 'Spent all afternoon trying to chase up my will o'wisp husband who had a call to make. It annoys me trying to find him all the time.' Parallel to his excessive work is her procrastination and failure as an author of children's books and magazine articles. She notes one rejection notice after another. The diary is littered with complaints: he is cheap he is inattentive he is a mamma's boy he is unfeeling and on. Physically she complains about back pain toothache heart palpitations always tired having the 'jumps' all over. She complains that people think she just has a case of 'nerves'. She complains of pains in her legs. She takes shots for pain and in the writing one can see how she gets groggy and the writing gets sloppier. It seems that she takes the shots frequently. She is jealous of the relationship between her husband and his mother and his aunt and is sarcastic about them several times. He works long hours and she complains that she is left alone far too much and suggests that he is having relationships with other women. She thinks he is cold and distant from her. At one point she writes: 'I suppose I ought to get 'continental attitude' toward marriage. Along with the complaints are some tidbits of the times: news of the Simpson affair in England she admires the King's passion that he would throw it all away for his woman playing the new game Monopoly going to Kaase's Restaurant charity work . The holidays make for interesting reading as she dwells on her loss of her husband and is bitter. At no time in the diary does she ever take any responsibilty for what is happening to her it is always someone else's fault. Many names and relatives names are written about inside and local collector or historians may well establish the exact specifics of these people.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 80 pp. ; 41 illustrations 32 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; For his book Paper Cuts published in occasion of his first solo show in the UK Due Date at the Warrington Museum of Art Warrington and at the Black Rat Project London March 2011 the Brooklyn based artist Brian Adam Douglas - aka Elbow Toe - explores his preconceived notions of parenthood and the opportunities for growth that come through that process. As an artist in the process of trying to become a parent and living in one of the most parent-centric sections of New York City Brian Adam is keenly aware of the mania that strikes at the heart of parents young and old. In these paintings he addresses fears loss of individuation as well as of the proverbial unknown the strengthening of bonds in times of crisis the issues of trying to become a parent later in life and the wisdom gained through the process of parenting. The work is divided into two groups: a set of images on panels and a set of images on paper. In the more fully developed works on panel all the actions take place in staged environments. The elements surrounding the figures are merely cardboard props strictly for the purpose of giving the figures' action a point of reference. The action of the figures is the reality of the image everything else is just window dressing. The paint drips and splashes act as abstract gestures clearing things away yet never managing to obscure the events occurring on the stage. In the works on paper the events being described are contained in a sea of white. By the very nature of the presentation the gestures and relationships are isolated and distilled. . 2011. 8888493778 . Drago hardcover
