Throughout his youth, he and his father shared a Sunday-morning ritual of reading the funnies. Schulz once described himself as “born to draw comic strips.” A Minneapolis native, he was just two days old when an uncle nicknamed him “Sparky,” after the horse Spark Plug from the “Barney Google” comic strip. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History will also mark the 60th anniversary of the “Peanuts” strip with a case that will feature objects from Schulz, including drawing utensils, an animation cell from the television special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and two comic panels that show the cartoon’s progression from rough pencil sketches to finished ink strips.

Among the famous and little-known works included in Frida Kahlo: The Paintings are The Two Fridas, Self Portrait as a Tehuana, Without Hope, The Dream, The Little Deer, Diego and I, Henry Ford Hospital, My Birth, and My Nurse and I. Included among the illustrations are more than eighty full color paintings, as well as dozens of black and white pictures and line illustrations. In this beautiful book, art historian Hayden Herrera brings together numerous paintings and sketches by Kahlo, documenting each with explanatory text that probes the influences in Kahlo’s life and their meaning for her work. Her works are so incendiary in emotion and subject matter that one art critic suggested the walls of an exhibition be covered with asbestos. In small, stunningly rendered self-portraits, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo painted herself cracked open, hemorrhaging during a miscarriage, anesthetized on a hospital gurney, and weeping beside her own extracted heart. " expressive and fluid prose is able to keep pace with Kahlo's riveting canvases and adds to the experience of viewing them. Something familiar, an old, haunting memory. This incredible brightness reminded me of something. It was a platform bed, the headboard mounted directly to the wall. Bedpost? The bed in the Languedoc chateau didn’t have posts. Was this a new game of Kyrie’s? I tugged hard, but my wrist was bound firmly to the bedpost. Gradually my eyes adjusted to the light, and I craned my neck, looking for a hint as to where I was, or why my hands were restrained. I was having trouble getting my bearings. I could hear the waves crashing outside the window. The sunlight was blinding, and it bounced off the waves like so many knives. I shut my eyes again and peered through slitted lids. I had to blink and squint and twist my head to the side. I tried to touch my fingers to my forehead, but couldn’t. It felt like a thousand hammers were pounding on my skull. I swallowed hard, hoping Henri wouldn’t get in any trouble because of me.

Medical schools teach essentials during the first three years the fourth is generally elective, so leaving early is an option, and all New York City medical schools asked for volunteers during the pandemic. Not everyone stepped up, but the author offers appreciative profiles of those who did. Readers who hear that Covid-19 kills only a small percentage of its victims, comparable to the flu, will be shocked at the horrific suffering that her young doctors witnessed. Entering through the respiratory tract, the virus attacks the lungs, often leading to pneumonia and respiratory failure so severe that patients require a ventilator. However, early on, half of patients placed on a ventilator died. “Another challenge for the new doctors,” writes Goldberg, “was the pervasive fear of infection. For the most part, neither senior physicians nor new graduates had been trained to worry for their lives while caring for patients.” All struggled to establish trust while spending minimal time near patients and wearing bulky protective equipment that covered their faces. Although Goldberg’s subjects seem to be the crème de la crème of the medical profession, she digresses liberally into the establishment’s shortcomings. “American medical schools are still predominantly white and wealthy,” she writes. Courtesy of National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne These stories gave rise to the rich mythology of lost children in Australian literature, bush poetry and art, perhaps best illuminated by Frederick McCubbin’s Lost, 1886. Sixteen schoolgirls, caught by a rising tide following a picnic near Launceston in 1899, were saved, but countless other accounts, such as the disappearance of Lewis Vieusseux during a family picnic in 1858, involved tragic loss. Lindsay lends credence to the tale by concluding her work with an ‘extract from a Melbourne newspaper, dated February 14th, 1913’, which explores the mystery in detail. This report proves elusive searching digitised Australian newspapers on Trove, but there are other examples. The drama centres around the mysterious disappearance of a quartet of schoolgirls, who vanish at the Rock after a picnic on Valentine’s Day 1900. Hanging Rock is famous as an ominous yet enticing character in Joan Lindsay’s 1967 novel, Picnic at Hanging Rock. ‘Everyone agreed the day was just right for the picnic to Hanging Rock…’ One of Neil’s new teammates is a friend from his old life, and Neil can’t walk away from him a second time.
