Trash: A Queer Film Classic
by Jon DaviesTrash, one of three inaugural titles in Arsenal Pulp Press' new film book series Queer Film Classics, delves into the legendary 1970 film that was arguably the greatest collaboration between director Paul Morrissey and producer Andy Warhol.<P> The film Trash is a down-and-out domestic melodrama about a decidedly eccentric couple: Joe, an impotent junkie (played by Warhol film regular Joe Dallesandro), and Holly, Joe's feisty and sexually frustrated girlfriend (played by trans Warhol superstar Holly Woodlawn). Joe is the hunky yet passive center around whom proud Holly orbits; while Morrissey intended to show that "there's no difference between a person using drugs and a piece of refuse," Woodlawn's incredible turn reverses his logic: she makes trash as precious as human beings.<P> The book examines the film in the context of Morrissey and Warhol's legendary partnership, with a special focus on Woodlawn's acclaimed performance: a glorious embodiment of "trash" and glamour that was so stunning, director George Cukor led a campaign (albeit unsuccessful) to win her an Oscar nomination.

The Traveling Companion & Other Plays
by Annette J. Saddik Tennessee WilliamsTwelve previously uncollected experimental shorter plays: The Chalky White Substance * The Day on Which a Man Dies (An Occidental Noh Play) * A Cavalier for Milady * The Pronoun "I" * The Remarkable Rooming House of Mme. LeMonde * Kirche, Küche, Kinder (An Outrage for the Stage) * Green Eyes * The Parade * The One Exception * Sunburst * Will Mr. Merriwether Return from Memphis? * The Traveling Companion Even with his great commercial success, Tennessee Williams always considered himself an experimental playwright. In the last 25 years of his life his explorations increased--especially in shorter forms and one-act plays--as Williams created performance pieces with elements of theater of the absurd, theater of cruelty, theater of the ridiculous, as well as motifs from Japanese forms such as Noh and Kabuki, high camp and satire, and with innovative visual and verbal styles that were entirely his own. Influenced by Beckett, Genet, and Pinter, among others, Williams worked hard to expand the boundaries of the lyric realism he was best known for. These plays were explicitly intended to be performed off-off Broadway or regionally. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes outrageous, quite often the tone of these plays is rough, bawdy or even cartoonish. While a number of these plays employ what could be termed bizarre "happy endings," others gaze unblinkingly into the darkness. Though several of Williams' lesser-known works from this period have already been published by New Directions, these twelve plays have never been collected. Most of these shorter plays are unknown to audiences and scholars--some are published here for the first time--yet all of them embrace, in one way or another, what Time magazine called "the four major concerns that have spurred Williams' dramatic imagination: loneliness, love, the violated heart and the valiancy of survival."

Tre Uomini nel Bosco
by Kathleen Hope“Mi vuoi, Seth?” “Sì.” Seth ansimò, improvvisamente conscio di quanto ciò fosse vero. “E come mi vorresti?” Eli si mordeva le labbra, morbide e rosa, con espressione selvaggia. Seth lo guardò, in preda a una fame che fino ad allora aveva ignorato. Si sforzò di non sbavare mentre si alzava in piedi, abbandonando il suo piccolo stallo con Luke. Ecco perché sapeva fin dall'inizio che avrebbe perso. Si lasciava tentare troppo facilmente. Le mani di Seth afferrarono i jeans di Eli, troppo larghi in vita, facendolo roteare e spingendolo all'indietro contro Luke. Eli sorrise graziosamente, compiaciuto in quanto la manovra lo fece atterrare proprio in grembo del suo amante.
