reading late White, which has moved from hope, to a eleagic tone...i wonder if he mourns for the lack of flexibility anymore--that w. AIDS died a kind of pining for transgression.
the thing (even w. the mention of Davis) is that one of the things that White is mourning is a kind of homosociality--where the radical upending of rules of desire happened only for men. so i wonder if his attraction to genet was mirrored in genet's attraction to panthers--a group of boys, who seemed dangerous, but played games w/o women. (it's also, weirdly where i see the beats, and later--ginsberg's attraction to straight boys--and something that perhaps the ny school didn't have--where the ny school considered less serious because they were less exclusive about the status of women?)comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.119719-4554122Fri, 07 Sep 2012 20:38:55 -0800PinkMooseBy: Isadorady

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fZj6ydAk7k&feature=related">Jessica Mitford</a> was an amazing woman, one of the fabulous Mitford girls, who included Unity, Hitler's favourite, Diana, wife of British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire, and writer Nancy Mitford.
Personal aside-I was ticketed for chaining myself to the El Salvador Consulate in San Francisco, along with Jessica Mitford, in the early 80s. One of the proudest moments of my life .

A bit more of the story: The Panthers actually smuggled Genet into the country via Canada because the US would not grant him a visa due to prior political activities. There were East coast stops on the tour as well. I saw him at MIT, where he packed a large hall.comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.119719-4554396Sat, 08 Sep 2012 05:46:38 -0800beagleBy: artof.mulata

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
