Politics at Play: Irish Theatre, 1900-the present
(International Theatre and Performance: Theatre 5771.06)
Elizabeth Harelik
This course will focus specifically on the dynamic and historic evolution of Irish theatre from 1900 to the present, paying special attention to the ways in which Irish plays and playwrights have reflected and resisted the politics of their time. Of particular interest in this course will be exploration of landmark events and movements such as the Easter Rising of 1916; the Troubles — a roughly 30-year period from 1968-1998 of armed conflict in Northern Ireland; and the recent #wakingthefeminists movement that has convulsed Irish theatre and the cultural landscape. Students in this class will also have the rare opportunity to work with the creative team (including the director and cast members) from the Abbey Theatre, Ireland's national theatre, who will be in residence in October, while their production of The Plough and the Stars is performing at the Southern Theatre. Plays read in this course will include J.M. Synge's Playboy of the Western World, Marina Carr's By the Bog of Cats, Conor McPherson's The Weir, Anne Devlin's Ourselves Alone, Martin McDonagh's Lieutenant of Inishmore and Brian Friel's Translations, among others.
This course is open to both graduate and undergraduate students in any major. For the Theatre major, it fulfills one of the "foundations in text" requirements OR can serve as an elective. Questions? E-mail Elizabeth at firstname.lastname@example.com

10 thoughts on "Cutting for Stone"
The world turns on our every action, and our every omission, whether we know it or not.It is statistically improbable that I will read a book as good as this one anytime soon Although I ll admit it starts off slowly, I found that the depths of this novel are revealed as the protagonist s life unfolds Something of a bildungsroman, Cutting for Stone focuses on a pair of twin boys who are born and raised in an African missionary hospital Their story combines elements of Indian and Ethiopian language and culture, third world medicine, sexual awakening, political revolution, foreign travel, and of course, and easily my favorite, emotional and complex family drama Written in a style of prose that allows one to forget the author is even there, Verghese really captures what it means to be human that the frailty of life isn t distinct from the strength of the spirit, but that one complements the other ShivaMarion s story is about as moving as it gets, and I ve got a few tear stains on my Kindle to prove it.
But it was only now, near the end, and far too late, that the pieces suddenly dreadfully clicked into place Like a long Tetris piece slamming down, making a whole block of mystery blink and vanish Only now did he realize what suddenly seemed so obvious everyone who had suggested this book to him every single one was a middle aged woman This book it was about the importance of family.A wave of cold horror washed over him It would take months of porn and comic books to counteract this book s effect Months.
Many readers will tell you that Cutting for Stone is the epic story of two conjoined twins fathered by a brilliant British Surgeon and an Indian Nun And it technically is Narrated by Marion the first born twin we are told of every influence on his and his brother s existence More than the story being told however, the novel is an accurate portrayal of life in all it s cruelty and wonder The twin s mother dies in childbirth and their father abandons them minutes later They are raised in a missionary medical hospital in Ethiopia As they grow up they are forced to face their past and futures re defining the meanings of destiny, love and family While reading you will notice the fine points are painstakingly researched as the story is and packed full of medical jargon and situations along with vivid descriptions of Ethiopian culture and history My only reservation in recommending the book is the novels hard moments as almost every imaginable tragedy touches these brothers, and medical operations and oddities are very detailed Squeamish readers may want to skim some of these passages.All in all, this novel is elegantly told, superbly structured and the most original piece of fiction I ve read in years It s deserving of every positive adjective I can throw at it marvelous, and thrilling You will want to own and lose yourself in this book again and again Buy it now, and thank me later.
My VIP patients often regret so many things on their deathbeds They regret the bitterness they ll leave in people s hearts They realize that no money, no church service, no eulogy, no funeral procession no matter how elaborate can remove the legacy of a mean spirit Cutting for Stone, pg 434 More than a few people who ve read the novel mentioned to me that they wanted to discontinue reading the novel And I understood what they meant, when I finished reading Cutting for Stone this last weekend.I had trouble with the point of view Unlike Frankie in Angela s Ashes, Marion, the protagonist, is an adult all along, and mono tonal Mr Verghese doesn t give Marion the privilege of his own voice Marion is smothered by adult language, betrayed by the medical jargon, which is overbearing ultimately, as well as weak writing this last piece was a surprise to me The idiom in some places puts me right in 2011 America, when in fact, we re in Ethiopia for most part of the novel mid 1900 s onward Also, an overuse of similes was irritating, and kept dragging the writing down, but most importantly, the reader can t get to Marion s soul, because weak language confounds the reader Moreover, the shifting points of view are shoddy, and in fact, weaken the intensity of emotion that existed briefly when Dr Thomas Stone is trying to deliver the twins By the way, this was the most poignant scene of the novel, and then the novel degenerates slowly and painfully for the 100 s of pages to come.Probably the lowest point of the novel is the coincidence you ll find far too many coincidental meetings and appearances etc of Genet and Marion meeting in the US Marion is set up to be a romantic by the author, and had saved his virginity for Genet But then enjoys a grotesque intercourse, which involves urine, blood and vaginal fluids Marion is so turned on that he goes at it again If I didn t feel terrible for Genet by then, I certainly did at that point I am not sure that Mr Verghese wanted Marion to be narcissistic and sadistic I grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to me hard I smelled her fever, and the scent of blood and sex and urine I came again, pg.598 but Mr Verghese came pretty close here But the novel had unraveled for me earlier Mr.Verghese simply has the hardest time developing female characters They play stereotypical roles, except for Marion s mother, who had the potential to be very interesting as a developed character, but the author, again uses her as a plot device wish not to reveal how for those who ve not read the novel yet Hema, his adopted mother also has wonderful potential of becoming an interesting character, but remains flat throughout The male characters dialogue is a notch better, but the dialogue throughout the novel is tiresome, and most characters sound like each other There is some good dialogue from Marion s adopted father, Ghosh and Dr Deepak, but not enough to save the novel.And poor Marion, remains a prisoner to a very brilliant individual as a novelist in Mr Verghese, who tries desperately but fails to develop a nuanced protagonist maybe the reason people wanted to put the novel down I think if the novel was cut into half, it may have worked for me, given the good writing would have blossomed and caught the attention of the reader Here s one other passage I liked In America, my initial impression was that death or the possibility of it always seemed to come as a surprise, as if we took it for granted that we were immortal and that death was just an option Cutting for Stone, pg 486
Recently in San Francisco I attended a reading by Abraham Verghese, who has written my favorite book of the year CUTTING FOR STONE I d gotten it from the library, and after 150 pages was so in love with it that when I heard he was going to be at the store, I returned the library copy there s a huge line waiting for it , and bought a copy just to have the pleasure of his signature We actually had a little chat after the reading, while he happened by on his way to his car He asked why I d chosen his book in the first place, and I didn t have the answer, which occurred to me like esprit d escalier until after he d left it s not the initial choosing of a book, but the journey the author takes you on that is important I think that Tom Wolfe s I AM CHARLOTTE SIMMONS was the book that changed my life, because when I was about 50 pages in, I realized I couldn t and therefore wouldn t finish that book despite having purchased it in hard cover Life is too short, and besides, it doesn t honor an author if you are resenting him with every page just to reach the end So, I actually don t finish some of the books I open There aren t enough days left in my life to squander on books I m not enjoying All that being said, I wish I d thought of that when talking with this soft spoken, gentle man, and had been able to relay to him that the journey he was taking me on was so wonderful, I didn t care if I ever reached the destination It is a vibrant, living story peopled with individuals to care about, sensual writing with than a dash of humor and a frisson of suspense What I did have the chance to tell him was this I was furious with an imbicile in the audience who, if you can actually believe this, whined Why did you have to make it so long I told Dr Verghese that it reminded me of that scene in Amadeus, when the emperor complains there are too many notes, and Mozart, puzzled, says It has just the right amount of notes.
Wasn t that the definition of home Not where you are from, but where you are wanted This book is both brilliant and breathtaking I absolutely loved it Abraham Verghese is not only a distinguished physician, but an extremely talented writer The prose is some of the very best I have encountered in a novel, and the story itself is hugely compelling Verghese takes his time setting up the story and introducing the cast of characters that will be thoroughly developed throughout the course of the novel I gobbled this stuff right up It s a book about home and belonging both to your country and to your loved ones Family is defined by those people to whom we feel the greatest connection, whether through blood or through the fulfillment of our greatest needs in life, including love, loyalty and dependability In Addis Ababa, near the soaring heights of the Entoto Mountains in Ethiopia, Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born to an Indian who is both nun and nurse and a British surgeon working together within the walls of Missing, a missionary hospital Literally joined at birth, the twins also share a bond of brotherhood and loss that will be both strengthened and painfully tested throughout their lives As the boys grow, they also learn the practice of medicine, both in its clinical form as well as its very compassionate service to human beings This knowledge is gleaned through the most admirable of characters, Hema and Ghosh I loved these two, but in particular Ghosh who is possibly one of my favorite literary personalities of all time There is a plethora of medical descriptions here that I found quite fascinating One is not required to have a medical related degree to enjoy this book, but a curiosity and appreciation for the field of medicine will go a long way here Having worked in clinical research, I did not have any difficulties as long as my handy e dictionary was close by for those terms unfamiliar to me I have to issue a little word of warning here for those that may feel a bit squeamish when presented with some of the graphic details of medicine Although I may have flinched once or twice, that didn t stop me from reading Due to family social ties to some very powerful forces within Ethiopia, Marion and Shiva find that they are not exempt from the effects of the political upheaval during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie When catastrophe lands on their own doorstep, the twins will learn even about the true meaning of family I found that I learned quite a lot about Ethiopian history and current events and it was all very illuminating I gained a better understanding of the geography of this African country and absorbed some very vivid images like this one I stepped out to the lawn I remember the air that night, and how it was so brisk that it could revive the dead The fragrance of eucalyptus stoking a home fire, the smell of wet grass, of dung fuel, of tobacco, of swamp air, and the perfume of hundreds of roses this was the scent of Missing No, it was the scent of a continent Heartbreaking and uplifting, Cutting for Stone is a treasure that I highly recommend Medicine, foreign cultures, politics, coming of age, abandonment, betrayal, and love are all elements woven together to construct a real masterpiece of writing The ending was both poignant and astonishing I loved it The world turns on our every action, and our every omission, whether we know it or not
Update I didn t like the writing of this book at all, but now, after reading the Verghese s foreword to When Breath Becomes Air and being unable to get over the florid and verbose writing of that either and other people agreeing with that, I just wonder how so many people enjoyed the very similar writing in this book._____I tried to read this book several times but it didn t hold my attention at all I just couldn t get into it I realise that I am in a minority among friends for not swooning over the very brilliance of this book and the writing, oh the writing but I didn t swoon I slept.
My favorite parts of this sizable tome were, of course, the medical jargon and the lyrically gory descriptions of diseases and surgeries I guess, by now I have finally and irreversibly crossed that thin line between sanity and medicine.Yes, all the descriptions of diseases and surgeries, and the handy medical mneumonics were like music to my ears Really Reading Verghese s Cutting for Stone reminded me of the conversations that I tend to have with my friends in the medical field they inevitably will deteriorate into the full on medical jargon fest And they will become hard and boring to follow for the outsiders And I love it in a strange way Insanity, like I said.Tell me, in what other fiction book can you read about surgery for volvulus, vaginal fistula repairs, detailed C section and transplant surgery description, and medical conditions that are becoming increasingly rare in the US and therefore are fascinating Where else in fiction do you get a crash review course on different kinds of cardiac murmurs or vesicovaginal fistulae and the history of their repair Right, I thought so Medicine is so seamlessly integrated in the very structure of this novel that it becomes a character in its own right. Nicely done, Dr Verghese I m ashamed of our human capacity to hurt and maim one another, to desecrate the body Yet it allows me to see the cabalistic harmony of heart peeking out behind lung, of liver and spleen consulting each other under the dome of the diaphragm these things leave me speechless Oh, but I guess you also care about the story, and not just about my dithyrambs about the medical jargon Okay, okay Here is the brief synopsis of 600 plus pages Wasn t that the definition of home Not where you are from, but where you are wanted Twin boys Shiva and Marion are born in a poor Missing Hospital in Ethiopia to an Indian nun who died in childbirth status post a horrific and vividly described Cesarean section and a socially inept but talented British surgeon who promptly exits the twins lives mere minutes after their birth, having almost crushed their initially conjoined heads Marion is named after Marion Sims, the father of American gynecology , who in the 19th century pioneered the operation for repair of vesicovaginal fistula the abnormal communication between urethra and vagina with all the unpleasant and horrific consequences the operation that Shiva performs in this book.Marion Sims work became a subject of much controversy in the 20th century since he practiced his craft without anesthesia on slave women, with unknown consent of his subjects on some of whom he operated about 30 times.The past of medicine is very often a very scary and cruel place.The boys are adopted and raised by an eccentric couple of Indian doctors at Missing Hema and Ghosh, who in an adorable and sweet way renew their marriage each year We witness them growing up around the hospital, learning medicine from a very tender age, living through periods of Ethiopian civil unrest, and, of course, girl troubles Genet the tragic girl who always tragically plays the tragic role in the brothers tragic lives Both brothers decide to pursue medicine self taught Shiva is a gynecologist while Marion view spoiler completes his surgical residency in the USA and meets his estranged father hide spoiler
Beautifully written, engrossing novel plants you deeply in the passion of practicing medicine, winds you intimately into the cloth of Ethiopia Verghese uses language so elegantly and paces his story so perfectly that I was totally transported.I finished the book feeling homesick for Addis Ababa, although I have never been there.When I signed up in several places to review early editions of books on my blog and in other viral social media places like Facebook , I had that little hope that I would be one of the first to discover a great new treasure and then be part of making sure the world knew about it.I was sent the uncorrected proof courtesy of an offer from Alfred A Knopf in the daily Shelf Awareness email newsletter Thanks, Al.The good news is this early edition of Cutting for Stone is exactly that rare gem I was hoping to find The slightly less good news is so many high profile reviewers are already raving about it, so Verghese probably doesn t need my help in the slightest.Still, I feel lucky to be one of the first readers It s hard to imagine another book unseating this as my favorite of 2009.For me, it was right up there with East of Eden.Now excuse me while I run out to eat a hearty meal at the one spot in all of Austin serving Injera and veggie Wott.
3.5 of 5 stars to Abraham Verghese s novel, Cutting for Stone, which was a book club selection about 7 years ago At first, I wasn t sure I d like the book, as I expected it to be quite sad And back then, I wasn t interested in reading sad or emotional books however, this one was quite good and I waffled between a 3 and a 4 I settled on a 3 only because I felt it was a little too formal stiff for the type of book it felt like it should have been still above average to me, as far as books go.The basics Twin brothers born in Ethiopia, Africa The mother dies during childbirth and the father will need to raise them, but fate intervenes and they are separated The book chronicles the separate life of the two boys and the connections between them It s about the differences between America and Africa, love and fear, focus and desire There are many surprises in the book, all leading you to root for certain things to happen in each of the relationships throughout the story.I had never heard of the author before, and this is the only read I ve tackled by him, so far But he s got several other books and short stories For me, it was a little too focused on the medical side of their personalities careers activities Not in a bad way, just enough that it didn t burst at its seams as a superstar book I also felt like it was a little light in the action at some points, but it certainly makes up for it in some major ways in the last third.If you are interested in other cultures, different ways of doing things and what happens to twins when they aren t always near one another it s a great read I d suggest reading a lot of reviews to decide if it s for you as it s different than most books of its genres or sub genre About Me For those new to me or my reviews here s the scoop I read A LOT I write A LOT And now I blog A LOT First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at where you ll also find TV Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I ve visited all over the world And you can find all my social media profiles to get the details on the who what when where and my pictures Leave a comment and let me know what you think Vote in the poll and ratings Thanks for stopping by Note All written content is my original creation and copyrighted to me, but the graphics and images were linked from other sites and belong to them Many thanks to their original creators polldaddy poll 9729544 polldaddy poll 9719251

There are a number of reasons that your dentist might recommend a tooth extraction. Some dental patients suffer from tooth decay; others need to remove teeth hindering orthodontic treatment, whereas various patients simply need wisdom teeth removal. While a tooth extraction can be a serious dental procedure, aftercare is just as critical as the procedure itself. As the dental patient, it is important to understand that pain and the risk of infection can be lessened with proper care.
Care immediately following surgery:
After your tooth has been extracted, healing will take some time. Within 3 to 14 days, your sutures should fall out or dissolve. For sutures that are non-resorbable, your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment to remove the stitches for you. Your tooth's empty socket will gradually fill in with bone over time and smooth over with adjacent tissues.
Possible complications after a tooth extraction
Bleeding – Bleeding after a tooth extraction is entirely normal. A pinkish tinted saliva and subtle oozing is fairly common during the first 36 hours. If bleeding gets excessive, control it by using dampened gauze pads and biting down to keep pressure on the area. As an alternative to gauze pads, a moistened tea bag can be used, as the tannic acid helps blood vessels contract. Apply pressure to the gauze or tea bag by gently biting down for 30 minutes. Please remember that raised tempers, sitting upright, and exercise can all increase blood flow to the head, which can cause excess bleeding. Try to avoid these as much as possible. If your bleeding does not reduce after 48 hours, please call the practice.
Bone sequestra (dead tooth fragments) – Some patients have small sharp tooth fragments that were unable to be completely removed during surgery. During the recovery period, these dead bone fragments, or bone sequestra, slowly work themselves through the gums as a natural healing process. This can be a little painful until the sequestra are removed so please call our practice immediately if you notice any sharp fragments poking through the surgery site.
Dry socket – In the days that follow your tooth extraction, pain should gradually subside. Rarely, patients report that pain increases to a throbbing unbearable pain that shoots up towards the ear. Often this is a case of dry socket. Dry socket occurs when the blood clot becomes irritated and ousted before healing is complete. Food and debris can then get into the socket causing irritation. Tobacco users and women taking oral contraceptives are at a higher risk of getting dry socket. Dry socket is not an infection but does require a visit to our office. If you think you may be suffering from dry socket, please contact the practice immediately.
Lightheadedness - Because you may have been fasting prior to surgery, your blood sugar levels may be lower than normal. Until your body has had the chance to catch up and process some sugars, you should remember to stand up slowly when getting up from a relaxed position. For somewhat immediate relief, try eating something soft and sugary, stay in a relaxed position, and reduce the elevation of your head.
Numbness – Many patients report still feeling numb hours after their tooth extraction procedure. An extended lack of feeling around the mouth is normal and can last 10-12 hours after surgery.
Swelling – Swelling should subside almost entirely within 10 days after surgery. Immediately following your tooth extraction, apply an ice pack to the facial areas near the extraction. Continue using the ice in 15 minute intervals for the first 36 hours. After 36 hours, ice will no longer be beneficial in reducing swelling and moist heat should be used instead. To decrease swelling, apply a warm damp cloth to the sides of your face.
Trismus (difficulty opening and closing mouth) – If you experience a sore jaw and difficulty chewing or swallowing, do not be alarmed. Occasionally patients' chewing muscles and jaw joints remain sore 3-5 days after surgery. This soreness can also make it difficult to open and close your mouth. Soreness should eventually subside.
If you have any worries, or are experiencing any complications not mentioned, please contact our practice immediately so that we may address your concerns.

Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich
Book Description: When Harvard University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his twenty-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with the power of lust. Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences, leaving a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and spontaneous seduction.
My Review: I really enjoy these Lizzy and Diesel novels. I can't say that I like the Wicked books more than the Plum books but they are an adventure start to finish. Wicked Business is filled with funny moments just the way that the Plum books are. The similarities between the Plum books and the Wicked books has not escaped my notice but I think there are some important differences also. To start with the Wicked books have Wulf, magic and Glo.
I think that Janet Evanovich is the queen when it comes to writing sidekicks. She created Lula who is one of my favorite characters of all time. I honestly mean that. Even though Glo isn't exactly a side kick I think she still qualifies. She helps out a lot in this book with everything from reading secret messages to babysitting Carl the monkey. (Nothing injects humor into a story quicker than a monkey, dressed as a child, creating a diversion by running amuck in a museum so Diesel can steal some magic bells.) Glo is a witch that almost always gets her spells wrong. She thinks she is Dumbledore when in reality she is Ron Weasley.
The Wicked series is about Lizzy and Diesel who are trying to find some magic stones. Seven magic stones to match the seven deadly sins. Lizzy can feel the magic of the stones and things associated with the stones that have been imbued with magical energy. The stones actually look like stones so Diesel and Wulf need someone like Lizzy to find them.
I like Wulf. He's Diesel's cousin and like Diesel possesses his own kind of abilities. Magical abilities. They can open locks by passing their hands over them. What else can you call that? Wulf's supposed to be the bad guy. He is the bad guy. I think. It's just that he returned the stone to Lizzy after she does something really courageous. Then he does something completely selfless. So I think he's the bad guy. Maybe.
Something that the Plum series doesn't have is Lizzy. Stephanie Plum inadvertently finds herself in dangerous situations. Lizzy puts herself in danger to do the right thing and sometimes she gets hurt in the process. Stephanie survives on luck. I'm not sure Lizzy will survive at all. Lizzy is more like the "every girl" that finds herself in an extraordinary situation but she still has to deal with things like a job and dinner. I like her more for that.
If the Plum series looks like to much with its twenty some books then start this series. Take the time to go back and read the Stephanie Plum between the numbers books (which are short) where Diesel makes his first appearance. You don't have to but you should. The first one is Visions of Sugar Plums and takes place around the holidays. It's perfect for this time of year and at around a hundred and fifty pages you'll be done before the turkey is.
If you are in the mood for an adventure that is also a mystery then check out Wicked Business. It has magical stones, secret societies, secret passages and tunnels, magically appearing writing, and a monkey that likes to give Diesel the finger.
This story is about the stone of lust.
