Keflex For Sale


Written on February 15, 2010 at 3:59 pm, by Amelia

Jamie Gumbrecht has a thoughtful and concise post up at the AJC's Inside Access page Keflex for sale, about the controversy surrounding the elephants in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Show.  It opened Friday night in Atlanta, pen vk 250. Pen vk 250 mg, Two animal rights groups have appealed to Mayor Reed to keep the elephants out of the show, and PETA made an unusually tasteful protest last week with a sad pachyderm statue in Woodruff Park, pen vee k 250 mg. Keflex 500mg dosage, Now, I'm not here to use this space to argue either way -- though it should be noted that, amoxicillin 500 mg sinus infection, Keflex pulvules 500mg, all PETA disparaging aside (and believe me, I had to curb it), keflex capsules 500mg, Keflex 500 mg qid, I LOVE elephants.  I went through a pachyderm phase circa 1991 that was unparalleled, penicillin v 250 mg, Keflex 500 mg dosage, featuring an evolutionary pictograph (thank you, Kids Discover magazine) and a barf-green sweatshirt with an African elephant standing in purple grass, keflex for sale. Cephalexin 500 mg for dogs,  Note: I hate purple and should never, ever wear olive green, penicillin v 250 mg, Pen vee k 250 mg, but the elephant on the front triumphed over good sense.

Kind of a horrifying practice, right, cephalexin 500 mg for dogs. Pen vk 250,  But also a product of the times.  We use this example a lot when people deride Harris for being insensitive or un-PC -- also known as "a person who lived 100 years ago."  As usual, pen vk 250 mg, our argument remains: present judgement should be reserved for present situations.

That said, you may believe that circus elephants are a relic of an ignorant time gone by, and I don't think I disagree.

Same Old Story — Justine Larbalestier’s US Cover of Liar


Written on July 24, 2009 at 1:01 pm, by Amelia
Have you heard about the recent controversy surrounding the cover art for the novel Liar by Justine Larbalestier?  Me neither until about 20 minutes ago.  Here, allow me to fill you in: Larbalestier wrote a Young Adult novel with an African American protagonist -- a compulsive liar who decides to stop, but finds doing so more difficult than she imagined.  Bloomsbury Publishing picked up the novel and chose a cover for the novel featuring a picture of a white girl.

Cover of Liar by Justine Larbalestier

Commence controversy. Larbalestier, who is white, speaks gracefully about the situation, but is quick to concede the following: authors do not have final say on their covers.  But to say the very least, she is openly displeased. Now, hold onto your britches: this isn't a new issue for authors.  In fact, none other than Joel Chandler Harris faced the same problem when it came to illustrations of his black, fictional protagonist, Uncle Remus. The Uncle Remus that Harris created was a tribute to the slaves he admired and respected during his youth on Turnwold Plantation.  Harris considered the original illustrations of Uncle Remus to be condescending caricatures that didn't do his character justice. Doesn't exactly conjure up thoughts of wisdom and worldliness.  Publishers believed that a minstrelized Uncle Remus would sell better than a more authentic illustration. Over 100 years later, the same problem persists in a big way.   Novels featuring African Americans on the cover are usually promoted differently, and thus do not sell as well as novels with covers featuring white folks, perpetuating the issue.  Frustrating. I urge you to read Larbalestier's blog post -- she discusses the situation thoroughly.  And just for the record, the Australian cover has nobody on it at all. UPDATE, August 8, 2009: Here's the new North American cover.  (h/t @russmarshalek)

Inserting Modern Standards into Classic Literature — Cool?


Written on June 10, 2009 at 2:16 pm, by Amelia
Laurel Snyder, a local children's author, has a great discussion on her blog about updating literature to correspond with our current views on racial stereotyping and language.  Bowdlerizing, if you will. For a museum like ours -- literature-driven, historically preserved, and familiar with comments like "I was shocked to hear Mr. Harris wasn't a racist" (thanks, visitor yesterday) -- this hits pretty close to home. Using modern standards to judge consciences of yore is a tricky business, and there are no shortage of opinons on the matter.  Some argue that if the change doesn't affect content, it's a-okay.  For others, myself included (methinks), the idea of making something "appropriate" for the present by erasing its record of the past is a big no-no. A little guy called "Mark Twain" (maybe you've heard of him) sums up my perspective well:

To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man's character one must judge it by the standards of his own time, not ours.

- translator's preface of Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, 1897

This topic has come up at the Wren's Nest many times before, mainly surrounding things like Harris' use of dialect or even the character of Uncle Remus.  For example, would it be crazy to remove Uncle Remus altogether from new versions and just present the stories? So what do you think?  Is preserving history worth the cost of upholding possible prejudices?

Wren’s Nest Visitor Drops Brer Rabbit Album With Dialect


Written on April 10, 2009 at 11:06 am, by Lain
Today a gentleman visiting from California stopped in for our Buy-1-Get-1-Free Spring Break (Woo!) Storytelling Extravaganza.  Naturally, he was delighted. After the tour, he handed me a CD's worth of Brer Rabbit stories that he recorded. Here, take a listen -- Stephen Allman - The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story [audio:allmantarbaby.mp3] I was surprised to find out that Stephen isn't a professional storyteller.  The production quality is great, he has a wonderful voice, and he can tell a good story.  The folks that heard his versions here were disappointed he didn't have CDs for sale. Stephen was struck by the Brer Rabbit stories he heard as a child, often told to him in Gullah or Geechee dialects.  So unlike our storytellers, Stephen has employed dialect in these versions, like Joel Chandler Harris did when originally recorded the stories. To some, this is the most controversial aspect of Harris's work. The argument goes something like this -- Harris's use of dialect is insulting and stereotypical, especially from someone who has essentially hijacked and homogenized an important portion of African-American culture.  He stinks. Stephen Allman - The Briar Patch [audio:allmanbriarpatch.mp3] To others, employing dialect is one of the most important parts of Harris's work. Their argument goes like this -- Harris carefully preserved a vital part of culture, speech, and history, while also becoming one of the first Americans to present black culture to a wide audience with respect.  He should have a halo when you picture him. What do you think of Stephen's stories?  Think we should sell his CD at the Wren's Nest? What about the dialect in the stories?  Does it make you smile?  Does it make you cringe? Does it matter that Stephen is white?  Would your perception be different if he were black?  Is the presentation politically correct or politically incorrect?  Does that matter? Previously:

Old Timey Ads and Joel Chandler Harris’ Fear of Electricity


Written on November 6, 2008 at 2:52 pm, by Amelia
Today Boing Boing led me to this delightful Edison Electric ad. Edison Electric Light 19th century ad Man, I love old-timey things.  If only I could find a job that supported my interests!  Oh well. What I especially love about this are the reassurances in the ad.  Electricity was a very new and very foreign thing in the 19th century, after all, and not everyone was ready to drink the Kool-Aid.  Or, since Kool-Aid didn't exist, toddies. Believe it or not, Mr. Joel Chandler Harris himself was one of the wary. Gasolier in the Wren's Nest House Museum Above is the gasolier in the West Parlor.  Our gasoliers - aka gas chandeliers - have gas lamps on top and electric fixtures on the bottom, making them a unique artifact and representing a very specific slice of history. Now, to be fair, Harris didn't purchase these (for every room of the house) simply because he thought this electricity business was a fad.  When electricity was first offered, it only came in during certain hours of the day, and no one wanted to be left in the dark after the electric company called it a day. Logic-based, that's our guy. Or... not.  You see, Harris was also "cautious" about riding a streetcar while wearing a wristwatch, convinced as he was that these two would combine to make him explode. Or stop time.  Or create a black hole.  We're not really sure. So what does a well-respected man do to hide his crazy?  Why, he buys identical wrist watches and builds a secret drawer in his desk, of course. Mr. Harris' desk from the Atlanta Constitution, complete with hidden drawer That way Harris could slip off his watch before boarding the dreaded streetcar, and surreptitiously replace it once he got to work. Don't worry, Mr. Harris.  Your secret is safe with me.

Brer Buick — The Newest Addition to the Wren’s Nest Team


Written on November 4, 2008 at 11:49 am, by Lain
On Sunday I drove down to Redbone, GA.  Why, you ask? Atlanta to Redbone, Georgia Why, to pick up Brer Buick, a gift from a donor and the latest member of the Wren's Nest Team. Brer Buick is a gold 2000 Regal LS with 131,000 miles and a little dent near the rear wheel on the passenger side.  It looks a little something like this-- 2000 Buick Regal Now, I did not ask for a car.  In fact, I didn't really do anything other than wear a "Protect the Nest" shirt, which is certainly open to interpretation.  And I guess someone thought that they could help by giving us a car.  Sure, why not! But what do we do with it?
  1. Keep the car for the Wren's Nest staff and (maybe) storytellers.
  2. Sell the car and pocket the cash for the Wren's Nest.
  3. Auction the car to the highest bidder (and somehow inspire the competition to overpay instead of hunt for a bargain, as Seth Godin suggests).
  4. Decorate the car like one of those crazy art cars.
  5. Put a "Brer Rabbit for Atlanta's Mascot" bumper sticker on it and let it rot in the driveway.
#5 would be the easiest, but probably the least helpful.  Any other bright ideas? Further, how do I enter this into my donor database?  Using the Blue Book Value?

Brer Rabbit and Friends at the Center for Puppetry Arts


Written on September 19, 2008 at 11:55 am, by Lain
Thirty years ago, the Center for Puppetry Arts opened its doors and became the first puppetry center in the United States.  Brer Rabbit and Friends was the very first show. This month the Center is celebrating their 30th season with -- you guessed it -- Brer Rabbit and Friends.  Pretty neat. The Center for Puppetry Arts Visits the Wren's Nest: Brer Rabbit and Friends We invited the puppeteers over for a photo shoot at the Wren's Nest to promote the show.  It opens September 30th.  You should go. Note the Wren's Nest admission sign from circa 1938: Adults, 26¢ and Children, 10¢. Was a quarter not enough?  Two bits weren't going to get the job done?  Greedy. It's cool that the puppeteers chose to take pictures on this part of the porch. Brer Rabbit and Friends with Puppetteers from the Center for Puppetry Arts Joel Chandler Harris penned many of the Brer Rabbit stories in the exact same spot. Joel Chandler Harris on the front porch of the Wren's Nest Close enough. Since I'm on a deal making kick -- if you see Brer Rabbit and Friends at the Center for Puppetry Arts, hang on to your ticket stub, bring it to the Wren's Nest, and get a tour of the house for a mere 26¢ one dollar. For tickets, check out Brer Rabbit and Friends at the Center for Puppetry Arts.
