Gentleman`s triumph on the Hallelujah trail 'Oh my God,' gasped the 30-something woman in the white dress. 'I'm in love with a 74-year old man.' The Sydney Morning HeraldI hear America singing Barack Obama's inauguration teemed with details evoking the other Illinois upstart he has often claimed as his model: Obama, we were told, would be swearing in on Abraham Lincoln's Bible, eating his favourite dishes off replicas of chinaware Mary Todd Lincoln selected in 1861. Fewer noted, however, that the woman Obama chose as his inaugural poet reinforced the comparison. Throughout her career, Elizabeth Alexander has sought to position herself as an heir to Walt Whitman, Lincoln's fervent devotee. Whitman only ever saw Lincoln from afar. Yet, having arrived in Washington on the day that the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, he remained there for years, drifting from one job to another, out of his 'profound conviction of [. . .] affinity' with the 16th president. 'Lincoln,' Whitman wrote, 'is particularly my man: particularly belongs to me; and by the same token, I am Lincoln's man: I guess I particularly belong to him.' Throughout the american civil war, Whitman elevated Lincoln' Guardian.co.ukWyatt Mason on the adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald`s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button I had my doubts about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button before I made it to the cinema. F Scott Fitzgerald's 1921 story on which the film is loosely based is a trite, slight collision of feckless storytelling and careless writing. Fitzgerald, a writer properly remembered for the fineness of his prose, seems not to have made it all the way into work on the day he wrote this little yarn. Rather, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' seems to have come from his accounting department, the part of his brain that willfully generated stories to sell to magazines for the money he perpetually lacked. Reading 'The Curious Case' now is to watch a writer of famously unhurried prose in a great rush. Like a man scattering birdseed in a park, Fitzgerald distributes adverbs with mindless strokes. In the story's brief first section alone, his characters are stilted cutouts whom their author attempts to enliven with ceaseless qualification. They cry 'hysterically' and 'hoarsely', look 'placidly' and ' Guardian.co.ukReview: Darwin`s Island by Steve Jones and Darwin`s Sacred Cause by Adrian Desmond and James Moore Darwin's Island: The Galapagos in the Garden of Englandby Steve Jones320pp, Little, Brown, £20Darwin's Sacred Cause: Race, Slavery and the Quest for Human Originsby Adrian Desmond and James Moore512pp, Allen Lane, £25Over the past 150 years Darwin has become many people and many opinions. On the Origin of Species has been used to justify ideologies quite at odds with each other, including socialism and fascism; he has been claimed as an atheist yet also represented as an empiricist hardly aware of the implications of his own theory. His determined silence in the Origin on the effects of his ideas for humankind may have been intended - as he said - to be 'diplomatic', but instead shook the foundations of human pride in our separate status. His reluctance to apply evolutionary principles directly to social reform, as his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace did, has led some to view him as unconcerned with social justice. Darwin takes it for granted that we are part of the Guardian.co.uk |
