On Wednesday, December 11th at 6:30pm, author Julie Gilbert will speak about her new book, Giant Love: Edna Ferber, her best-selling novel of Texas, and the making of a classic American film, with her legendary Knopf editor, Victoria Wilson, and the professor of film at Brooklyn College and author of sixteen books on film and theater, Foster Hirsch. GIANT LOVE A book that explores the great American novelist and playwright Edna Ferber, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Ficton, whose work was made into many Academy Award-winning movies; the writing of her controversial, international best-selling novel about Texas,and the making of George Stevens' Academy Award winning epic film of the same name,Giant. The stupendous publication of Edna Ferber's Giant in 1952 set off a storm of protest over the novel's portrayal of Texas manners, money and mores with oil-rich Texans threatening to shoot, lynch or ban Ferber from ever entering the state again. In Giant Love, Julie Gilbert writes of the internationally best-selling Ferber, one of the most widely read writers in the first half of the 20th Century - her evolution from mid-west maverick girl-reporter to Pulitzer Prize winning, beloved American novelist, from her want-to-be actress days to becoming Broadway's acclaimed prize-winning playwright whose collaborators - George S. Kauffman and Moss Hart, among them, were, along with Ferber, herself, the most successful playwrights of their time. Here is the making of an American classic novel and the film that followed in its wake. We see how George Stevens, Academy-Award winning director, wooed the prickly, stubborn Ferber, ultimately getting her to agree to everything including writing, for the first time ever, a draft of a screenplay, to her okaying James Dean for the part of the ranch hand, Jett Rink, something she was dead set against. Here is the casting of Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean and their backstory triangle of sex and seduction - each becoming a huge star because of the film; the frustrated Stevens trying to direct the instinctive but undisciplined Dean, and the months long landmark filming in the sleepy town of Marfa, Texas, suddenly invaded by a battalion of a film crew and some of the biggest stars in the rising celebrity culture. JULIE GILBERT was born in New York City and was educated at Boston University. She is the author of four books, among them a biography of her great aunt, Edna Ferber, Edna Ferber and Her Circle and Opposite Attraction: The Lives of Erich Maria Remarque and Paulette Goddard, Gilbert is a member of The Dramatists Guild, The Writers Guild of America, East, The Authors Guild, Actors’ Equity, and League of Professional Theater Women. She has taught Creative Writing at New York University’s School of Continuing Education and currently heads The Writers Academy at The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida where she lives part time, as well as in New York City. Victoria Wilson, as Vice President, Executive Editor at Alfred A. Knopf, worked with many writers, among them Anne Rice, whom she discovered, Lorrie Moore, Eve Babitz, Laurie Colwin, Jill Ciment, Sapphire, and Helen Simpson. After five decades helping to shape and build Knopf, Wilson published her biography, A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel-True 1907-1940 ( Simon and Schuster) to great acclaim ( “Monumental . . . a vivid portrait of the entire era in which she flourished.” — Peter Bogdanovich). Wilson has served on the board of PEN, Poets & Writers, was Vice President of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, and was appointed by President Clinton to the US Commission on Civil Rights. Foster Hirsch is the author of 16 books on subjects related to theatre and film. A native of California, Hirsch received his B.A. from Stanford University and holds M.F.A, M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University. Hirsch joined the English department of Brooklyn College in 1967, and in 1973 became one of the first professors to join the school's newly established film department. He has also been associated with the Pine Bluff Film Festival since its inception in 1994.

中央公園

遊賞秋景好去處

蓝星旅行者

漫步於紐約中央公園，彷彿跌入鋼鐵森林的溫柔裂隙。晨光穿透林梢，在櫻花大道鋪開粉白碎錦，風過時花瓣簌簌落肩，摩天樓的稜角在花影裡柔化成朦朧背景音&nbsp;。

長椅上的城市密碼最是動人。指尖撫過冰涼的椅背，銘牌上簡短的文字藏著紐約客的體溫：&quot;給我的妻子卡羅爾，因為她愛中央公園，而我愛她&quot;&mdash;&mdash;生離死別、年少相逢、母與子的羈絆，都在木紋裡凝結成露&nbsp;。當高中生攤開書本笑鬧在綿羊草坪上，當莎士比亞詩篇的朗誦聲從櫻桃山飄向湖面，這座公園便成了情感的共鳴箱，盛滿超越語言的人間敘事&nbsp;。

午後在The Ramble森林區閉目，鳥鳴與溪水聲織成天然白噪音，忽然懂得奧姆斯特德的深意：這340萬平方米的綠肺，原是獻給&quot;疲憊產業工人的手工藝品&quot;，讓無力遠行的人們在此啜飲自然&nbsp;。黃昏的船屋碼頭最是魔幻，木槳劃碎晚霞染紅的湖面，野鴨從曼哈頓倒影中游過，都市的喧囂在此沉入水底，只餘槳聲燈影裡的呼吸&nbsp;。

「當長椅鐫刻的私語與櫻花雨一同落進掌心，方知這混凝土荒原裡的綠洲，原是紐約寫給世界的散文詩。」&nbsp;
