![]() It's not until we speak up that we can move past the pain and step forward. Perhaps the main message of my novel is that shame and secrecy can keep us from becoming our full selves. In the process she learns about the regenerative power of claiming - and telling - one's life story. Over the course of Orphan Train Vivian moves from shame about her past to acceptance, eventually coming to terms with what she's been through. Many train riders were ashamed of this part of their past, and carried the secret of it for decades, and sometimes until they died. "People who cross the threshold between the known world and that place where the impossible does happen discover the problem of how to convey that experience," the novelist Kathryn Harrison wrote. In Orphan Train, I wanted to write about how traumatic events beyond our control can shape and define our lives. But the legacy of trauma is a heavy burden to bear. Even those who have been through war or great loss often find reservoirs of strength. ![]() ![]() Christina Baker Kline (CBK): Most people are remarkably resilient. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() First and foremost, he rejected the teleological point of view – advanced by many communist scholars in the second half of the 19th century and by quite a few in the 20th – according to which it is possible to envisage or “foresee” future society. Instead of a grand narrative or a total vision capable of telling us what the future will or should be like, Labriola conceives of Marx’s historical dialectic as a “philosophy of praxis”. This statement alludes to a philosophical criterion that can be used to draw the different aspects of concrete realities into a unified vision, based on the practical nexus that lies at the heart of the social dynamic. For Labriola, the discovery of the practical nexus does not mean reducing political ideas and institutions to reflections of economic data, but instead helps to conceptualise culture, politics, and the facts of individual consciousness themselves in a tensile relationship with the struggle for basic needs. Therefore, as we shall argue at the end, the issue of knowledge cannot be separated from that of action.įriedrich Engels, Eduard Bernstein, Georges Sorel, Karl Kautsky, and Vladimir Il’ič Lenin – just to mention the most important names – considered Labriola’s writings decisive for theoretical Marxism. ![]() Edizione nazionale delle opere di Antonio Labriola, 13 vols.

Ladin vividly describes forty years of gender dysphoria, of feeling disembodied, detached, dehumanized. In many ways, it got worse: her wife and children rejected her, her suicidal ideation intensified, and for a time she lost everything.Īnd yet, even without the redemptive last chapter which gives the book its title, one can still say that even if life got harder when she transitioned, it also, at least, began. For Ladin, life didn’t get better when she began her gender transition in 2007. Joy Ladin’s lyrical and thoughtful new memoir, Through the Door of Life, adds another before-and-after metaphor to the mix, and yet its searing narrative undercuts any such simplifications. And yet, like our other metaphors – Coming Out, Transitioning – It Gets Better suggests a linearity that is at odds with LGBTQ experience, even as it also, helpfully, offers hope. ![]() We queers know this we know that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better, and that sometimes, it gets worse again, and that other times, some days you just have to get through one at a time. “It Gets Better” is an oversimplification. ![]() ‘Through the Door of Life: A Jewish Journey between Genders’ by Joy Ladin ![]() ![]() had alibis, finds middle-aged himbo Richard Gere at his sexiest and most self-assured as a celebrity lawyer caught up in a mind-boggling whodunit.
