Van Gogh's Ear
Van Gogh's Ear: The True Story | Bernadette Murphy
108060 posts | 630 read | 24 reading | 435 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.

Read-n-Bloom Yikes 😱 reading slump 😬😫 I don‘t know what I would do with myself 🤔 1d
ChaoticMissAdventures Oh no! I hate slumps. When they hit I sit down with a dozen or so books and read the first few pages of each, which ever one I can't stop thinking of when I am done is the one I pick up. I also sometimes just let myself be (pushing through books often makes me hate all books and makes the slump worse) 1d
Susanita Ugh. Reading slumps are frustrating. Maybe something light and fluffy? Romance? Cozy mystery? Reread something you love? 1d
Ruthiella I definitely suggest re-reading a favorite. 👍 Good luck! 1d
lil1inblue Oof. Sometimes, reading some middle grade fantasy gets me out of a slump - something a little light-hearted and not too long. Graphic novels have also helped. 1d
AkashaVampie Hey hun.... check out my posts for #StartASpark. Maybe u will see something u can do/read. 1d
shortsarahrose Favorite book of the year so far has been Every Heart a Doorway. It was good on audio and it‘s short, too, which might be an easy win during a slump. Though sometimes you just have to accept that you‘re in a slump and try not to force it. I haven‘t finished a book since February (I‘ve been reading but hopping between books and can‘t seem to finish anything), but I *have* watched almost the entire series of Yellowstone in a month (7 episodes left). 1d

1. Yes, always. Never know when you will need it.

2. The God of the Woods: The main family of this book is wealthy and yes in this book it does affect the character/characters, not in a good way but a bad way. Money to me is something we all have to have. Some have more than others. And it can be used in a bad way or a good way. Just like not being wealthy can affect you in a good or bad way. We all have the same choices, to be good or 2b bad.

1) Honestly, confused. I haven‘t heard the cat all day ( see my last post) I hope it is okay because I heard a couple of cat fights last night I think animal control came by and anti- cruelty called me. I just hope the cat is okay. Say a little prayer and send good vibes little Max is okay. I named him Max, lol. I will try to find out tomorrow. 2) I like Joyce Meyer but she is a religious speaker who has written a lot of books. Litsy is the only

Guys, when you're down in the dumps what do you read?

- Sad, reflective books to reflect your mood?
- Cosy, cute books to raise a smile?
- Immersive fantasy worlds to escape into?
- Twisty mystery plots to distract your attention?

“Deviled eggs” is a culinary term meaning to spice or season a dish heavily, especially with mustard or pepper, associated with the fiery imagery of hell. These eggs look devilishly great!

How could Hollie have passed by me and gotten out the door? She had on a huge butterfly costume that was hard to miss.

Elizabeth looked everywhere in the school but found nothing.

Sooo...why won‘t she call the police to help with her daughter‘s disappearance?

MY DAUGHTER IS MISSING is brutal and has a lot of violence, but the storyline will keep you reading. 4/5

My mood is so mixed these days. I am SO very blessed with my 3 grandsons, but so worried about their future in this broken country and world.

I am so thankful that my husband and I are able to live our retirement dream after saving for so many years, but worried about the economy.

#5JoysFriday Sorry this is a day late. 1) My faith especially this Easter week. 2) The itching is gone but I am still in a lot of pain- and I feel like I‘m in the movie Rear Window. I am kinda stuck in one place listening to the atrocities going on outside my windows. Some mean lady just kicked her cat out for no reason. I am stuck here almost crying so I called animal control and the Anti Cruelty Society. That made me feel better. 👇🏽

TiredLibrarian That's horrible! I'm glad you stepped up and took action. 4d
Mimi28 3) The poor cat had a distended stomach I think because it still can‘t comprehend not using the litter box. It‘s only been a day but I couldn‘t take its howling anymore. If my hearing is right though- a little girl took him in and named him Oreo. I sure hope so even if animal control thinks I am a little nuts- which I am, lol. 4) I love being single because with a queen sized bed there is enough room for me a ton of books, lol. 5) My mom 👇🏽 4d

Mimi28 @dabbe Thanks!! I don‘t know what she looks like and I just saw a cute about 6 month old ginger kitten out there. I guess a lot of strays and outdoor cats visit our back porches, lol. My mom is so scared I am going to scoop one up, lol. I can‘t though I REALLY want to. We both have compromised immune systems and too much clutter.

Not in the database, but as you can see the book got great reviews when it was published earlier this year which was why I borrowed it from the library

At 87 Kristen is finally a widow and she can start searching for the boy she gave up for adoption at 16 and unmarried.

A book about being forced to give a child away in a society where abortion is illegal, and the most important thing is to avoid shame and talk in the small community.

AnneCecilie Spuria is what these mothers was named and after birth their babies was marked with a “S” on their card to indicate they their mothers were unmarried, as it said somewhere in the book; these babies were marked from the beginning 5d

monalyisha The desert island reads question is hard! If I‘m marooned, I‘d actually love a combo of books I‘ve read and loved (safe bets) and a few I‘ve never read but have always meant to.

BooksandCoffee4Me I love that you read a book during a middle school dance! My son read Of Mice and Men during a Nationals game while on his 8th-grade trip to Washington DC. 😂 5d

BooksandCoffee4Me @Eggs Beautiful photo! 5d
Eggs @monalyisha I‘ve never had the pleasure of being on desert isle; so am I alone? In which case I would have a stack of TBRs!!! 5d

Eggs @monalyisha I‘m currently on a blueberry streak, the big juicy ones 🫐 5d
monalyisha @Eggs Yes! I‘ve always viewed it as you‘re stranded, alone. Best-case scenario, which books do you have with you to keep you company? And I don‘t think survival/how-to books are really keeping in the spirit of the question. 😉 5d
Eggs @monalyisha great point! In the scenario of being stranded on said isle, I‘d like an oft-read book like Dandelion Wine, some poetry, and a journal to write in! 4d
monalyisha @Eggs Brilliant! And I love Dandelion Wine. 🌼 4d
Eggs @monalyisha Ah a kindred spirit (DW)!! 4d

I've been scrolling a lot this morning, which has left me sad/angry/dismayed, so I decided to focus my mood board on things that bring me joy.
Family is first, of course, but here are things I do that make me happy.

#moodboardcontest @dabbe congrats on 200k litfluency! As someone else said- #dabberocks

Texreader Perfect. I‘ve sworn off the news today. 5d
dabbe Oh, how I love this! I say you print it out, frame it, and put it somewhere where you'll see it to remind you that THIS is what life truly is. Thanks for sharing yourself. 💙🩵💙 5d
