Van Gogh's Ear
Van Gogh's Ear: The True Story | Bernadette Murphy
107183 posts | 629 read | 24 reading | 432 to read
BOOK OF THE WEEK ON BBC RADIO 4 PRIMETIME BBC2 DOCUMENTARY WITH JEREMY PAXMAN On a dark night in Provence in December 1888 Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear. It is an act that has come to define him. Yet for more than a century biographers and historians seeking definitive facts about what happened that night have been left with more questions than answers. In Van Goghs Ear Bernadette Murphy sets out to discover exactly what happened that night in Arles. Why would an artist at the height of his powers commit such a brutal act? Who was the mysterious Rachel to whom he presented his macabre gift? Was it just his lobe, or did Van Gogh really cut off his entire ear? Her investigation takes us from major museums to the dusty contents of forgotten archives, vividly reconstructing the world in which Van Gogh moved the madams and prostitutes, caf patrons and police inspectors, his beloved brother Theo and his fellow artist and house-guest Paul Gauguin. With exclusive revelations and new research about the ear and about Rachel, Bernadette Murphy proposes a bold new hypothesis about what was occurring in Van Goghs heart and mind as he made a mysterious delivery to her doorstep that fateful night. Van Goghs Ear is a compelling detective story and a journey of discovery. It is also a portrait of a painter creating his most iconic and revolutionary work, pushing himself ever closer to greatness even as he edged towards madness and one fateful sweep of the blade that would resonate through the ages.

The Towles novella is not in Litsy database. It‘s funny and clever, greatly enhanced by its narrator John Lithgow. Roach has her moments too…🤗😅

My positive action today is building a resistance playlist because music always helps. Hit me with your favorites, as many as you got.

Sorry, I know this should not be a political space but please see Oregon senator Ron Wyden‘s post about Medicaid, etc. I was going to get rid of Meta because MZ but maybe I need to keep it as a place to express my anger. I promise to stay away from politics here in the future.

kspenmoll It‘s ok. Life with T is all about taking care of rich, total immorality, & letting people with little money die. 1d

Bookbuyingaddict V v sad 😢 millions of people voted for trump falsely assuming he‘s a “populist” he doesn‘t give a monkeys about people or the planet ! The truth will now come out but it‘s too late, 4 very uncertain difficult years ahead for a lot of Americans. Holocaust Memorial Day yesterday,80yrs ago concentration camps liberated, and have we learnt nothing ! These far right facists or far left leaders full of lies,tech billionaires insighting hatred &violence 22h

Prairiegirl_reading Reading IS political!!!! From learning to read to being able to afford books to the freedom to discuss the books you read to library access and what books are in said library. All political. What has happened to America is a nightmare and you should be angry about it! I know I am and I‘m not American. 16h

Monday was hard on so many levels, and I flaked on #MentalHealthMonday .

1. I‘m here—that‘s probably the best thing to say. But, the lack of doomscrolling has made more time for reading and cat cuddles!
2. Self-help books are usually not for me. I get very discouraged with them, and it‘s wonderful they help so many people. While not necessarily self help, and not about mental health, I always recommend “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” by ⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️ Lori Gottlieb. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I cannot recommend it enough. I tend to connect more with fictional characters. One recent is “The Collected Regrets of Clover” by Mikki Brammer, about an incredible woman living a lonely life. So much sentiment in this one, and I could see myself in the character in many ways. 1d
Kerrbearlib I‘ve heard good things about Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. Mikki Brammer‘s book sounds good, thanks for sharing! Fiction about mental health absolutely counts for books on mental health. Have you read Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now? That‘s a great YA read with a teen who has OCD and anxiety. (edited) 1d
Kerrbearlib That‘s great the lack of doom scrolling has given you more time for reading and cat snuggles. I think reading and cats snuggles make difficult days more bearable. I need to remember that the next time I‘m doom scrolling or mindlessly scrolling. 1d

Librarybelle @Kerrbearlib I‘ve not heard of that book, so thanks for the recommendation! That probably would have been helpful back in my teen years too. I think cat snuggles make anything better! 😻 1d

Not in the Litsy database. “Nachwasser“ is a new word creation by Frieda Paris, and could be translated as “AfterWater“. It's a long poem and it's deeply impressive. The way Paris uses words, creates new ones and evokes pictures and emotion is unforgettable. At least to me. It took me some time to get used to the style, but it was so worth it. There must be so much time and work put into this poem and it shows.

And then there was today‘s #bookmail - a hard copy of the Hoffer for my personal library project, and the Arendt inspired by (in addition to, well, everything) reading We Are Free to Change the World.

Seriously, I have a problem. And it‘s not enough bookcases.

TheBookHippie All of Arendt is good. This one though, it‘s now. 2d
ravenlee @TheBookHippie I got turned off by trying On Violence first, because it was short and I could get it cheaply. It was almost incomprehensible to me, and then I didn‘t know where to go from there. The buddy read is giving me the courage to dive into the big one. 1d
TheBookHippie @ravenlee I had the luxury of taking a course on her writings. I wish it was offered now when it‘s so needed. 1d
ravenlee @TheBookHippie I wish I‘d taken a philosophy course in college, but at the time it seemed unappealing. In all fairness, so was the philosophy-major-ex-boyfriend 😆 1d

One of my reading buddies needs some extra thoughts, please!

Xander had his yearly cardiology appointment today—for those of you who do not know, Xander was born with a heart defect and will always have a heart murmur.

We got tough news today: two of his heart chambers has more fluid than they should. He‘s not in the danger “zone,” but his condition has been now moved to the stage preceding danger. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ He has even more medicine now to take and another appt in a few months. He was my brave little boy today, definitely because he was scared. My heart is broken at the moment, but I‘m hopeful that all of this medicine will bring down the fluid. Please think of him, and I will make sure he gets lots of cuddles today! #Xander #CatsOfLitsy 2d
Luke-XVX I‘m sorry! Please give him a tickle from across the pond and rub those toe beans! 2d

An easy read and very enjoyable. A few moments of spice and erotica but not overwhelming. It got me out of my reading slump and thinking about what I want from my mundane life. I love the beautiful cover art. There were a lot of places and details that reminded me of my hometown so that made it a very fun read. I would definitely recommend this book! Great first read of 2025!

Book 1/25 for my 2025 goal! ✅️

Reggie That is a beautiful cover 14h
