hello hello from your steggy secret santa! apologies for the delay but the elves and I are finally airing out the workshop and starting on your gift - I received your Dear Santa letter and have a couple initial thoughts and ideas, but I wanted to check in and see if there's anything else you'd like me to know! favourite scenes, favourite tropes, favourite symbols of the two, or anything else? I can't wait to get started :)

hello secret santa!!!

i’m so bad at writing dear santa type things because i’m so indecisive and i do apologize 😭

for favorite scenes i would have to say the car scene (“i got beat up in that alley”) in ca:tfa, i feel like it’s a great establishing character moment. i just love wartime steggy and 40s steggy in general, that’s their best era tbh (and plus as much as i enjoy the endgame ending, this is before steve is worn out and has fought so many more battles. i do so love bright eyed martyr steve idk).

if you have any more questions please to do feel free to pop in and ask, it’s more than welcome!!

Avid Reader is the memoir of Robert Gottlieb, who was a New York publishing bigwig in the second half of the twentieth century. Obviously he read huge numbers of new books as they were coming out. And then as now, so much stuff was published that a lot of good books were quickly forgotten after their moment in the sun.

I’ve been keeping a list of novels that Gottlieb enthuses about but I had never heard of (or the author is famous for one book and he’s raving about a different one). He has really wide-ranging tastes, so this list has a little bit of everything. Sometimes he doesn’t even mention the genre, just how good the book was.

It will probably take me years to get round to all these, if ever.

If anyone’s looking for a reading project, may I present to you: The Avid Reader incomplete list of neglected novels

Niccolo Tucci, Before My Time (autobiographical novel by a writer who left fascist Italy - praised by Dorothy Parker)

Sybille Bedford, A Legacy (about German aristocrats - Nancy Mitford loved this one)

Rona Jaffe, The Best of Everything (young women juggling career and life in 50s New York, sounds a bit like a pre-women’s-lib Sex and the City)

Sylvia Ashton-Warner, Spinster (autobiographical novel by a New Zealand teacher trying to make school better for her Maori pupils)

Mordecai Richler, Barney’s Version

Bruce Jay Friedman, Stern

Jetta Carleton, The Moonflower Vine (an American farming family with a secret)

Robert Crichton, The Secret of Santa Vittoria (villagers try to outwit Nazis in WWII)

Chaim Potok, The Chosen (two Jewish boys growing up in Brooklyn)

Charles Portis, True Grit (source novel for the Western film)

John Cheever, Bullet Park (“dark and obscure”)

Lisa Alther, Kinflicks

Ross Macdonald (crime writer, no specific title was mentioned)

William Wharton, Birdy

Dorothy Dunnett, British writer of historical fiction, The Game of Kings (start of a series) or King Hereafter (standalone)

Joseph Heller, Something Happened

L G Buchheim, The Boat (translated from German, source novel for the film Das Boot)

Tom Tryon, The Other (psychological horror)

Robert Stone, A Flag for Sunrise

Evan Connell, Mr Bridge

A Prayer for Sunshine

youtube

In the final months of World War II, the people of Santa Vittoria (a little hill town in Italy) are pitching in to hide the most valuable treasure of their city from approaching German occupiers. This treasure is approximately one million bottles of fine wine which they have produced by the sweat of their brow. Long lines of the residents are formed to accomplish such a crucial mission: numerous bottles must be passed from hand to hand, starting at the wine cellar and ending in a Roman cave nearby where they are to be stashed.

The complete transport takes a few days, but here an inopportune rain has made the mayor (Anthony Quinn) and his aides ask the priest for a 'sun prayer'. Just take in the acting in this scene, particularly the inimitable way Anthony Quin lets out 'ehhh' in response to the point his assistant raises about 'Noah's Ark'.

🎞film: The Secret of Santa Vittoria (1969) 🎬director: Stanley Kramer 🟣🟣🟣🟣⚪️
