Books: Liberty Street & The Last Time We Saw Her

Today, we recommend Liberty Street by Heather Marshall. In 1961, Emily is an editorial assistant at the women's magazine Chatelaine, which hides surprisingly hard-hitting articles among fluff pieces about recipes, makeup, and how to please your man and the like. When she gets a tip about the conditions in the nearby Mercer Women's Prison, she senses an article that can make her career, so she gets herself locked up there. Decades later, Detective Rachel Makenzie is put on the case of a body found in an unmarked grave, which may be associated with the by then long-shuttered prison, which stirs up her own dark memories.

This book is an absolute gut punch. The characters and story are extremely well-written, and both will break your heart. Although it is not strictly biographical, it is based on a real prison and real events, which gives it even more emotional impact.

The story covers important issues that make it extremely relevant to the current world, including mental health and inequality. It also serves as a reminder of what it was like when women were considered second-class citizens who didn't have the same rights, even over their own selves, as men, and a cautionary tale of what can happen if we continue on the road that some would have us on, where once again women don't even have control over their own bodies.

Today, we recommend The Last Time We Saw Her by Jaclyn Goldis. A group of campers on a heritage trip in the Azores gets caught up in a hunt for an alleged treasure when one of them ends up dead. Years later, they reunite and return to participate in a documentary that will hopefully solve the mystery of what happened to her, but then another of them turns up dead.

Although certain aspects of this story are a bit clichéd there is enough originality in the plot to keep it interesting, particularly the deeper you get into it. None of the characters are always likable, which not only makes them feel more realistic but also adds to the suspense because you are not always sure exactly whom to root for. The gist of the solution to the main mystery is not only surprising but also makes sense in terms of the plot and is not too convoluted, making this book a fairly satisfying read.

Movie: A Crime Story

Today, we are recommending A Crime Story. A group of people running a hotel finds themselves in the crosshairs of criminals when they find a briefcase filled with drugs and use it as an opportunity to get themselves out of debt. This film starts out a bit confusing, even with subtitles explaining who the various characters are, but it does get easier to follow as it goes along. At first, it seems like this is just another violent action picture with very little substance; however, the touching found-family vibes that develop among the assorted hotel employees give it a warmth that elevates it to a whole other level. It is still quite violent, however, and definitely not for children.

Misc.: iSense FlexiCool Adjustable Pillow

Today, we recommend the iSense FlexiCool Adjustable Pillow. This unique and innovative pillow enables the user to adjust its firmness to their personal comfort level by adding or removing foam. It also has advanced cooling technology, which is supposed to help keep it at the optimal sleep temperature throughout the night. However, while the general comfort of this pillow is quite nice, the cooling aspect only works well depending on the kind of pillowcase you use.

And that's our view. Liberty Street and The Last Time We Saw Her were published last Tuesday, June 16. A Crime Story will be available for purchase and rental digitally next Tuesday, June 30.

4) LaMama Migration Diary

The production brings real lives to the stage inside one of the world’s most influential homes of experimental theater. No invented characters. No fictional dialogue. Just the stories people carry across borders. Built through an extensive documentary process of interviews, personal archives, video diaries, and autobiographical testimony, Migration Diary continues the groundbreaking artistic method Vidu created more than a decade ago for her internationally acclaimed Diary of Romania (Jurnal de România) series, presented across Europe at major festivals and theaters. Performed by Sam Xu, Lia Fietz, Ana-Maria Bandean, and Ellen Ko, the show follows women whose lives passed through Romania, China, Germany, Portugal, Singapore, London, Moscow, and finally New York — and asks the question this city has always asked, and never fully answered: what does it mean to stay?

7) Picasso: Le Monstre Sacré

Created for the 50th anniversary year of Picasso’s death, PICASSO: LE MONSTRE SACRÉ asks how should he be judged? Picasso was an undisputed genius and visionary artist, yet his obsession with his work often destroyed those he professed to love. Brilliantly incarnated by Peter Tate, in a challenging, powerful, intelligent study, Picasso passionately defends his reputation. It’s an explosive, deeply passionate voyage of self-revelation, leaving the audience as his jury… Should we condemn or forgive him? How do we judge our great artists?

The first show devoted entirely to Paulin's color work. Paulin (1926–2016) was known in his lifetime for the black-and-white street photographs he showed at Helen Gee's Limelight Gallery in 1957. What went unseen was that he was working in color at the same time, two decades before William Eggleston's 1976 MoMA exhibition established color as a fine art medium. The twenty works on view, made between 1956 and 2008, place him among the earliest American color street photographers, alongside Saul Leiter, Ernst Haas, and Ruth Orkin.
