Review The Theatricality of Robert Lepage / McGill-Queen's University Press:Since the 1980s, multimedia and new technologies have had a great impact on theatre, allowing performance to establish its own language of communication with the audience independent of the written text. Robert Lepage is one of the pioneers and main exponents of mixed-media performance, internationally renowned for a notoriously distinct aesthetic. Aleksandar Dundjerovic, in the first book to explore Lepage's practical work, offers a comprehensive analysis of his creative process, his "transformative mise-en-scene. " The Theatricality of Robert Lepage studies several productions, including The Dragons' Trilogy, Vinci and Tectonic Plates, The Seven Streams of River Ota, Zulu Time, and The Far Side of the Moon. Dundjerovic provides major new insights into Lepage's creative process through an examination of his workshops, open rehearsals, and performances, as well as interviews with Lepage and his collaborators. Outlining the key production elements of Lepage's theatricality, Dundjerovic provides a practitioner's view of how Lepage creates as a director, actor, and writer and explores Lepage's practice within both the local Québécois and the international theatre context.

Review All The Best, George Bush / Simon & Schuster:Though reticent in public, George Bush has openly shared his private thoughts in his correspondence throughout his life. Fortunately, since the former president does not plan to write his autobiography, this collection of letters, diary entries, and memos, with his accompanying commentary, will fill that void. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with eighteen-year-old George's letters to his parents during World War II when, at the time he was commissioned, he was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Listeners will gain insights into Bush's career highlights - the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the U N. , his service as an envoy in China, his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency, and of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, and the postpresidency. They will also observe a devoted husband, father, and American. Ranging from a love letter to Barbara and a letter to his mother, about missing his daughter Robin after her death from leukemia, to a letter to his children two weeks before Nixon's resignation, to one written to them just before the beginning of Desert Storm, the writings are remarkable for their candor, humor and poignancy. As the Bushes continue to emerge as a major political family, this portrait of its unassuming patriarch is timely and important. That George Bush is allowing this much of the collection to be published is remarkable in itself. All the Best, George Bush provides a surprisingly intimate and insightful portrayal of the forty-first president of the United States. [+]In lieu of a memoir, All the Best, George Bush collects correspondence and diary entries from the former U. S. president to show, as he says, "what my own heartbeat is, what my values are, what has motivated me in life. " The letters begin in 1942-when, fresh out of high school, Bush volunteered for U. S. Navy flight school-and continue to the brink of the 21st century, as the retired chief executive worries about the Melissa virus infecting his office's server and keeping his visiting grandchildren in line. ("I realize," he muses, "Keep the freezer door closed from now on and I mean it lacks the rhetorical depth of This will not stand or Read my lips. ") All the Best hits all the highlights of Bush's career, from the Texas oil business to his role as ambassador to China, then CIA director, vice president under Ronald Reagan, and finally president himself. Along the way, he reveals a personality that is at turns compassionate, respectful, silly, doting, and resolute-a man for whom being a father and a grandfather matters as much as, and maybe even more than, being leader of the free world. Fans and detractors alike will find in All the Best an intimate human portrait that offers as sure a self-definition of Bush's personal life as A World Transformed did his presidential career.

Review The Republic of Letters: The Correspondence Between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison 1776-1826 / W. W. Norton & Company:Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were two major philosopher statesmen of the American Enlightenment. For over 50 years they formed a personal and political partnership, jointly working out the ideology of democracy and the practice of representative government. The collaboration began in 1776, when Jefferson and Madison met as members of the Virginia House of Delegates, and ended 50 years later when Jefferson died. They exchanged nearly 1250 letters, ranging from short notes to Madison's 17 page letter on the results of the Constitutional Convention. This set of three volumes presents all the letters between the two, annotated in chronological order and organized into chapters by year. In addition to the general introduction to the correspondence, introductory essays to each chapter establish context and identify people and events for the general reader.
