Jean lives on a houseboat in the endlessly quirky \u201caquatic suburbia\u201d of Sausalito, where he paints, sails, naps, muses on love and light, receives his mail in the mouth of a jack-o\u2019-lantern, and hosts a community of young, suntanned, bamboo-flute-playing hippies. The film is just as concerned with place as it is with person, and what makes Jean Varda\u2019s home more stunning and fantastical than any movie set is that it actually exists, or existed. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Though its sensibility is so distinctly American, each time I return to <i>Uncle Yanco<\/i>, it gets harder to imagine the world it presents as part of today\u2019s United States (Sausalito is in the outer reaches of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/bayarea\/article\/San-Francisco-metro-area-retains-No-1-spot-as-16701789.php\">San Francisco<\/a>). Seen today, the film\u2019s most striking feature might be its testament to the possibility of Jean Varda\u2019s way of life: the radical embrace of joy and color that defines his every movement and word. \u201cHell is doing what you don\u2019t like to do,\u201d he tells Agn\u00e8s, \u201cand everything but ecstasy is vanity.\u201d Part of me wants to cut through what can feel like Jean\u2019s naivete to point him to the doom my reality seems daily to confront. Another part can\u2019t help but wonder and hope that somewhere, there remains the potential for an existence like Uncle Yanco\u2019s. And for rousing that part within me, again and again, I owe both Vardas a debt. <b>\u2014Owen Park<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I was laid very low earlier this week by a case of strep, and to comfort me while I attempted pathetic little sips of water, I turned on the BBC miniseries <i>Wives and Daughters<\/i>, based on the 1866 Elizabeth Gaskell <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780199538263\">novel<\/a> of the same name. Misunderstandings, love triangles, small-town gossip, an entomologist who sends an empty wasp nest to his beloved, and a headstrong heroine of virtue and self-possession who wasn\u2019t done up in twenty-first-century girl-boss tackiness.\u2009I\u2019m now feeling much better, and about halfway through <i>North &amp; South<\/i>, another masterful <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780007902255\">Gaskell-based<\/a> BBC series of nuance and superb acting\u2014and, in this one, the class tensions marking life in a newly industrial northern England. <b>\u2014Lauren Kane<\/b><\/p>\n<p>More historical fiction: Jaimy Gordon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780930900786\"><i>Circumspections from an Equestrian Statue<\/i><\/a> is a whimsical period piece set in Providence, Rhode Island. Gordon affects a charming \u201colden\u201d style that\u2019s tongue-in-cheek but still quite delicate, although the plot\u2019s narrative punchline\u2014beautiful dumb society wife is molested by world\u2019s first gynecologist unbeknownst to cuck husband\u2014is brash in a Belle \u00c9poque\u2013era, sex-farce way. It\u2019s about the advent of scientific\/mechanical reproduction in more ways than one: during a relaxed evening of proto-TV-watching, a parlor room audience is shown a series of image slides on a projector device, a nice intertextual foreshadowing moment to that media-brainwashing scene in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.criterion.com\/films\/30204-the-parallax-view\"><i>The Parallax View<\/i><\/a>. The way Gordon intercuts the diegesis of this scene with descriptions of the slides themselves also makes the text almost multimedia, which is very cool to do to a costume drama. And the novella is tiny, almost a vignette\u2014more books should be this short. <b>\u2014Olivia Kan-Sperling<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I am not exactly a person drawn to numbers and exacts\u2014irrationality and the arts are much more my speed, and I definitely believe in ghosts\u2014but luckily, I have the writing of Meghan O\u2019Gieblyn to elegantly walk me through some of the most pertinent contemporary debates concerning consciousness, AI, and technology\u2019s role in our lives. Her latest book, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780385543828\"><i>God, Human, Animal, Machine<\/i><\/a>, is a thought-provoking look at the question of belief. Drawing on quantum physics, transhumanism, robotics, the eternal mind-body problem, and O\u2019Gieblyn\u2019s own experiences growing up as an evangelical Christian, this is a book that explores what we do\u2014and absolutely do not\u2014know about that rather old-fashioned concept of the soul.\u00a0<strong>\u2014Rhian Sasseen<\/strong><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquatic suburbia, headstrong heroines, and that rather old-fashioned concept of the soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68386],"tags":[11912,67827,12552,1361,883],"class_list":["post-156642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-reviews-review","tag-agnes-varda","tag-featured","tag-historical-fiction","tag-jaimy-gordon","tag-staff-picks"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wives and Daughters;
