And Brontë Bitch is presenting a range of illustrations inspired by the Brontës. The designs, together with quotes from the sisters’ classic works, feature on tote bags and greetings cards and are available on T-shirts. The range also now includes Branwell Brontë. (Alistair Shand)
Pioneers Post features Social Finance's incoming CEO, Adam Swersky:
I wish I could read more fiction, since I often feel I learn most from novels. I read both Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys recently and was left haunted by the power of fate and circumstance. (Olivia Opara)
Ara (in Catalan) discusses films about writers and writing.
M’agrada molt la contenció d’Anthony Hopkins fent de C. S. Lewis a Terres de penombra, i també els clarobscurs de la mansió de Les germanes Brontë, però no m’ajuden a entendre com van ser escrites les cròniques de Nàrnia, ni Jane Eyre, ni Cims rúfols, ni Agnes Grey. (Vicenç Pagès Jordà) (Translation)
Stereophile reviews Cécile Mclorin Salvant's music album Ghost Song.
Ghost Song, her debut on Nonesuch, is unlike anything she's recorded. It contains no jazz standards. It begins with a gorgeous a cappella, which sounds like Hildegard of Bingen and segues into Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," follows with a medley of "Optimistic Voices" from The Wizard of Oz and Gregory Porter's "No Love Dying," then veers into the album's title tune, a song of her own composition about failed love, then a witty ditty on the annoying obligations of romance (another original, which evokes the spirits of Nöel Coward and Dorothy Parker), and ends Side 1 with Sting's "Until." (Fred Kaplan)
Vanity Fair features it, too.
This month she released her soaring sixth album, Ghost Song (Nonesuch Records), with a track list that opens on a hauntingly pared back, addictive cover of Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights,” and includes original (and personal) songs like the musing, Blossom Dearie–esque “I Lost My Mind,” which crescendos into an ambient, electronic repetition of “I lost my mind, can you help me find my mind?” Here, she shares her inspirations.
Novels about “people living with different kinds of ghosts, dealing with their memories” and “struggling with their ambitions” fed the album, including Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Middlemarch by George Eliot, and In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. (Keziah Weir)
The blunder of the day comes from Glamour announcing that something which doesn't even exist is leaving Netflix in April:
Sadly, it's also time to say goodbye to some of our favourite shows too, including gorgeous period drama Jane Eyre (starring Anya Taylor-Joy) and Roald Dahl’s utterly endearing Esio Trot. (Anya Meyerowitz)
Mangialibri (Italy) reviews Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic.
