This led to some legal troubles (to say nothing of the metaphysical quandaries) because <a href=\"http:\/\/fusion.net\/story\/274974\/mark-twains-seance-novel-jap-herron\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twain had a deal to publish all his books with Harper &amp; Brothers. Did his ghost have to make good on that deal, too?<\/a> The<em>\u00a0New York Times<\/em> gave a taste of the courtroom antics: \u201c[I]t is possible that the Ouija Board will be made to perform in court and that the shade of Mark Twain, or what purports to be his spirit, will undertake to confound Mark Twain, the unbeliever. That Mrs. Hutchings intends to get into communications with that very important witness is an assured point.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Vivian Gornick looks back at Constance Fenimore Woolson, who \u201cwas a popular American writer of the late nineteenth century whose friendship with Henry James has, among James scholars, long qualified hers as a distinctly lesser life. In all the James biographies, Woolson appears as a shadowy presence whose morbid anxieties simply echo those of the Master himself. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/ms-grief\/\" target=\"_blank\">Now, with the publication of a full-length biography and the reissue of a collection of her stories, Woolson emerges as a figure of some dimension in her own right<\/a> \u2026 Turning to her <em>Miss Grief and Other Stories<\/em> is something of a shock; that\u2019s how unexpected is the punch that much of the book delivers. There are seven stories in all, three set in Europe, four in America. The writing in all of them is remarkably good, but it is the American stories that will send the reader looking for more of Woolson\u2019s work.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Rivka Galchen envies only one thing about men, and it\u2019s not (or not exactly) that men have traditionally been able to get away with behaving like cretins: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-only-thing-i-envy-men?mbid=social_twitter\" target=\"_blank\">The first gender-envy thoughts I have had, really in my entire life, started maybe not immediately following the arrival of my daughter\u00a0in my apartment, but shortly after<\/a> \u2026 The envious thought was simply that a man can have a baby that his romantic partner doesn\u2019t know about. This is a crazy thought, of course, but I find myself feeling it with such sincerity that I cannot see its edges. The thought seems a descendant of a thought I had while hoping to become pregnant, which was imagining a woman who was pregnant with twins but didn\u2019t have the courage to confess this to her partner, whom she believes will be devastated by the news, and so she dreams up plans to come up with some \u2018hysterical\u2019 reason for not wanting her partner there for the birth, and then what? What will she do with the second child? Raise it in secrecy? I knew I wouldn\u2019t be having a second baby.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s Friday. <a href=\"http:\/\/jacket2.org\/commentary\/twenty-six-items-special-collections-r\" target=\"_blank\">Why not go on a little jaunt through Chekhov\u2019s notebooks<\/a>? That\u2019s what they\u2019re there for. And what do we find: \u201cA passion for the word <em>uterine<\/em>: my\u00a0uterine brother, my uterine wife, my uterine\u00a0brother-in-law, etc.\u201d \u201cA conversation at a conference of doctors. First doctor: \u2018All diseases can be cured by\u00a0salt.\u2019 Second doctor, military: \u2018Every\u00a0disease can be cured by prescribing no salt.\u2019 The first points to his wife, the second to his\u00a0daughter.\u201d \u201cA theatrical manager, lying in bed, read a\u00a0new play. He read three or four pages and\u00a0then in irritation threw the play on to the\u00a0floor, put out the candle, and drew the bedclothes over him; a little later, after thinking\u00a0over it, he took the play up again and began\u00a0to read it; then, getting angry with the uninspired tedious work, he again threw it on\u00a0the floor and put out the candle. A little\u00a0later he once more took up the play and read\u00a0it, then he produced it and it was a failure.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in failing to follow instructions from the master: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/03\/02\/theater\/have-we-been-playing-gershwin-wrong-for-70-years.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">seems like we may have been playing Gershwin\u2019s \u201cAn American in Paris\u201d incorrectly all these decades<\/a>. Specifically, our nation\u2019s finest orchestras have made a mess of the part calling for French taxi horns to bleat: \u201cThe ambiguity stems from how the taxi horn parts are notated in Gershwin\u2019s original handwritten score. To put it in Gershwin terms, we got rhythm: The score shows that the horns play sets of accented eighth notes. But when it comes to pitch, things are less clear. Gershwin\u2019s score labels the four taxi horns with a circled \u2018A,\u2019 a circled \u2018B,\u2019 a circled \u2018C\u2019 and a circled \u2018D.\u2019 Those circled letters have been interpreted as indicating which note each horn should play\u2014A, B, C and D on the scale\u2014since at least 1945 \u2026 But the new critical edition will argue that Gershwin\u2019s circled letters were merely labels specifying which horns to play, not which notes.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in exotic forms of posthumous success: In 1917, seven years after his death, Mark Twain wrote a novel called Jap Herron by communicating through a medium using a Ouija board.
