Following his passing back in 2003, Johnny Cash’s legacy is an abundant catalog of original recordings, and of course his always defiant figure. Photo by Dan ShargelĪs a musician, Johnny Cash developed his very own strumming technique and movements, but as a performer, he fixated on a tender honesty to his tone and message delivery. At a first glance of his career, his appeal to the downtrodden, poor, and beaten is undisputed given his controversial stance in the late 1960s, he was placed at a unique intersection of Folk music and Rock N’ Roll armed with a traditional yet brilliantly original approach to traditional Country music. Few figures of the 20th century evoke a remote emotion the way Cash does. Known as the Man in Black, The Outlaw, or even The Last Great American, Johnny Cash outlived his own ethos as one of the most sincere and powerful songwriters of all time.

Happy Hour is a novel about getting by and looking great in a system that wants you to do neither. Through it all, Isa’s bold, beguiling voice captures the precise thrill of cultivating a life of glamour and intrigue as she juggles paying her dues with skipping out on the bill. Resources run ever tighter and the strain tests their friendship as they try to convert their social capital into something more lasting than precarious gigs as au pairs, nightclub hostesses, paid audience members, and aspiring foot fetish models. By night, they weave from Brooklyn to the Upper East Side to the Hamptons among a rotating cast of celebrities, artists, Internet entrepreneurs, stuffy intellectuals, and bad-mannered grifters. By day, the girls sell clothes in a market stall, pinching pennies for their Bed-Stuy sublet and bodega lunches. In her diary, Isa describes a sweltering summer in the glittering city. They have little money, but that’s hardly going to stop them from having a good time. She arrives in New York City for a summer of adventure with her best friend, one newly blond Gala Novak. Isa Epley is all of twenty-one years old, and already wise enough to understand that the purpose of life is the pursuit of pleasure.

She sought not to take an essentialist stance, but to point out the contrast between the way the earth and women were viewed previous to the enlightenment and the scientific revolution vs. Merchant pointed out in her analysis that it was not her intention to advocate that women reassume the role of nurturer (mother earth, provider, etc) as dictated by that historical identity, but rather to examine the values associated with the images of women and nature as they relate to the formulation of our modern world and their implications for our lives today (Merchant: xvii). Prior to the works of the founding ‘fathers’ of modern science, such as Bacon and Descartes, the values and images associated with women and nature were revered however, as the worldview changed toward a more mechanistic and scientific lens, along with scientifically-established hierarchies came a strong belief in the domination and mastery of nature (and, hence, the feminine). She explained how the pre-scientific world not only maintained a sense of chivalry and respect toward nature, but also associated feminine and life-giving characteristics to nature. In her 1980 book, The Death of Nature, Carolyn Merchant developed a feminist theory through the lens of the ecology movement. However, only eighteen months later Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest, aged only twenty-three. It was touch and go whether he would ever walk again. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident, Bear broke his back in three places. On returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS – a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance. As a teenager he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster’s karate training camp in Japan. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age.

But if I’ve learned anything from surrounding myself with reapers, and living nightmares, and my fellow bean sidhes, it’s this: I was wrong on both counts…. I also used to think it was the last thing that could happen. I used to think death was the worst thing that could happen to a person.

In the subsequent two seasons the hard-throwing right-hander, known for his cap flying off at the completion of his delivery to the plate, won 21 and 18 games and appeared in the 1963 All Star Game. His career batting average in the majors was a dismal. Unlike many Major League pitchers, Bouton could not hit at all, even as a high schooler. As a high school pitcher he didn't throw particularly hard, and got batters out by mixing conventional stuff, with the knuckleball that he'd experimented with since childhood. While attending high school, Bouton was nicknamed "Warm-Up Bouton" because he never got to play in a school game, serving much of his time as a benchwarmer.

Zweig's thesis, that sexual frustration in the seven years of the queen's unconsummated marriage led to her flighty, spendthrift.
