And future freedom, as she saw it, requires women to leap into the unknown and risk demolishing the art world’s institutions in order to rebuild them anew. ![]() ![]() With unparalleled insight and wit, Nochlin questioned the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art history. In her revolutionary essay, Nochlin refused to answer the question of why there had been no “great women artists” on its own corrupted terms, and instead, she dismantled the very concept of greatness, unraveling the basic assumptions that created the male-centric genius in art. Many scholars have called Linda Nochlin’s seminal essay on women artists the first real attempt at a feminist history of art. The fiftieth anniversary edition of the essay that is now recognized as the first major work of feminist art theory―published together with author Linda Nochlin’s reflections three decades later. ![]() ![]() ![]() That we have departed from it into strange territory.īut what if it’s exactly the other way around? What does it mean to say that this doesn’t feel real? The feeling seems to derive from the assumption that life before the pandemic, “normal” life, was real. The case count and death toll grow with each refresh of the page.Īnd yet some part of me still doesn’t want to accept that these calamities are really happening. More than 16 million people in the United States applied for unemployment over just three weeks. Stock-market convulsions have destroyed, in a matter of days, nest eggs built over decades. Of course, the global catastrophe unfolding is nothing but real. Unreal, or its variations: not real, surreal, this can’t be real. Mostly, I hear it from my own mouth, because I haven’t left the house in a month, but also I hear it from friends on Zoom or Skype, and from the news on TV or online. One word I’ve been hearing a lot lately is unreal. ![]() I got about midway through page 3 and stopped. ![]() In the air is a growing feeling of incipient chaos. The protagonist, who works in a Midtown Manhattan high-rise, takes the elevator down to the lobby and walks out onto the street to find the world on pause, its social rhythms and commercial activity suspended. ![]() Not time itself, just the convention of time.

What didn't make sense was Mila, a very naive 22 year old who is watched 24 hours a day, never having travelled a day in her life, suddenly being brave enough to take herself from sunny Miami to Moscow. ![]() ![]() This is #3 of the series and should be read in order. Unfortunately, a Russian winter is the coldest of them all, and Mila soon learns the only way to escape intact is to do the impossible and thaw her captor’s heart. But it doesn’t take long for his caress to become a rough grasp muffling her screams. One with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his eyes. She never expected to fall for a man on the way. Suffocated by the rules and unanswered questions, Mila does what she’s always wanted to. Not about her papa’s absences or his refusal to let her set foot in her birthplace - Russia. ![]() ![]() Having always done what is expected of her, Mila dresses the part, only dates college boys with exemplary backgrounds, and doesn’t ask questions.

Incredibly competent in their respective fields, Christie and Blaise had me worried at first that I’d be reading a romance between Mary Sues. ![]() And their “realness” helped make both of the leads feel more real too. Yet, the author was still able to keep those more minor characters from stealing the spotlight too much. All of the supporting characters in general still manage to feel more multi-dimensional than many main characters I’ve read elsewhere. The characters drive the story, and the fact one of the love interest’s kids is a fully fleshed-out character and not just a plot device (usually just a romantic foil) speaks volumes. Perhaps it’s just the fact that Simply Connected manages to elevate itself above just another opposites attract romance novel. Perhaps that could be because I was always both a nerd and a jock. Chosen for my affinity with the “Sporty” personality of the Spice Girls growing up, I wasn’t prepared for just how seen I felt because of the character that didn’t fit that description at all.
