    True Story: A Trilogy
    A Story that Happens
    It's Life as I See it
    From Scarsdale
    • True Story: A Trilogy gathers together three documentary plays by award-winning playwright and poet Dan O'Brien concerning trauma, both political and personal. The Body of an American speaks to a moment in history when a single, stark photograph--of a US Army Ranger dragged from the wreckage of a Blackhawk helicopter through the streets of Mogadishu--altered the course of global events. In a story that ranges from Rwanda to Afghanistan to the Canadian Arctic, O'Brien dramatizes the ethical and psychological haunting of journalist Paul Watson. In The House in Scarsdale: A Memoir for the Stage the playwright applies journalistic principles to investigating the source of his childhood unhappiness, as he searches for the reason why his parents and siblings cut him off years ago. The more he learns about his family, the more mysterious the circumstances surrounding their estrangement become, until his sense of self is shaken by rumors regarding his true parentage. The trilogy concludes with New Life, a tragicomedy that finds Paul Watson in Syria and the playwright in treatment for cancer, while together they endeavor to sell a TV series about journalists in war zones. New Life explores the paradox of war as entertainment, and dares to dream of healing after catastrophe. These three gritty yet poetic plays stand as a testament to the value of witnessing, honoring, and perhaps transcending the struggles of living.

      Drawing deeply on O'Brien's experience of cancer and of childhood abuse, and of collaboration with a war reporter, the four essays in A Story that Happens offer hard-won insights into what stories are for and the reasons why, 'afraid and hopeful', we begin to tell them.

    • Originally published by Chicago's Black press, long neglected by mainstream publishing, and now included in a Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago exhibition, these comics showcase some of the finest Black cartoonists. Between the 1940s and 1980s, Chicago’s Black press—from The Chicago Defender to the Negro Digest to self-published pamphlets—was home to some of the best cartoonists in America. Kept out of the pages of white-owned newspapers, Black cartoonists found space to address the joys, the horrors, and the everyday realities of Black life in America. From Jay Jackson’s anti-racist time travel adventure serial Bungleton Green, to Morrie Turner’s radical mixed-race strip Dinky Fellas, to the Afrofuturist comics of Yaoundé Olu and Turtel Onli, to National Book Award–winning novelist Charles Johnson’s blistering and deeply funny gag cartoons, this is work that has for far too long been excluded and overlooked. Also featuring the work of Tom Floyd, Seitu Hayden, Jackie Ormes, and Grass Green, this anthology accompanies the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s exhibition Chicago Comics: 1960 to Now, and is an essential addition to the history of American comics. The book's cover is designed by Kerry James Marshall. Published in conjunction with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, on the occasion of Chicago Comics: 1960s to Now, June 19–October 3, 2021. Curated by Dan Nadel.

      "Blonde bombshell," "It Girl," "uber-babe" -- Pamela Anderson, star of tv series Baywatch and celebrated Playboy playmate, mesmerized the world with a doll's face, pinup figure, sexy tattoos and a man-eating smile. In a tradition that extends from Jean Harlow through Brigette Bardot to Madonna, Pam is the sex goddess of the 21st century. Sante D'Orazio, America's most sought-after celebrity photographer, photographed Pamela Anderson in a one-day session in the Fall of 2000 on the terrace of a mansion in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles. His images, for the first time published in Pam: American Icon, are both a visual study on the phenomenon of the blonde and a seductive collection of erotica.
