    The door to apartment A was propped open, as it often is, with a very large book, and the posters affixed to it looked eager to tear through their Scotch tape. “Organizers Needed! Fight For Lasting Change!” read the flier for the Eastern Service Workers Association, of Trenton, New Jersey. “ADVOCATE for low-income families to prevent utility shutoffs and reverse government policies that enrich utility companies while promoting use of fossil fuels.” Above it was a slightly larger poster for a film noir festival in San Francisco, featuring a buxom woman experiencing some kind of ecstasy in a closet full of film reels. Marx and movies: What more could you need?

    Inside, something was slightly off: The afternoon light filtered in, a rarity in an apartment whose owner normally hosts her students at night. But Ann Douglas, the Parr Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature, proceeded as usual. She apologized for the piles of newspapers in the foyer, offered fresh-squeezed Westside fruit juice, sat across from me at her dining room table, and started talking. Her home is less a salon than a lair; there are no walls in sight, just rows of books and VHS tapes. Douglas has lived there since the fall of Saigon, when she absconded from her post as the first woman tenured in Princeton’s English Department and took a job at Columbia. Since then, she has written two major books, The Feminization of American Culture and Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the s, and made two decades of progress on a third, Noir Nation.

    During last year’s heady Summer A session, I took Douglas’ Film Noir class, six weeks of three-hour lectures that knocked my socks off. I followed up with her famous Beat Generation course. Her classes feel delightfully aughts-ish, as if Ezra Koenig would have cut them. Though she retired 10 years ago, Douglas still teaches with gusto and passion, two qualities that set her a

The opening story centers on Mrs. Delafield, a widowed and childless woman reflecting on her life while tending to Christmas roses in her garden, which symbolize resilience and hope amidst sorrow. As she grapples with memories of her losses and familial obligations, she is drawn into the complexities of her niece Rhoda's tumultuous relationships. The beginning of the story introduces Mrs. Delafield as she finds solace in her garden, particularly in the vibrant Christmas roses that bloom despite the winter chill. The flowers evoke memories of Christmas and life’s miracles, prompting her to draw parallels between their persistence and her own strength in the face of grief. As she prepares to address a troubling letter from her brother regarding Rhoda and her reckless romantic choices, the narrative hints at a family dynamic filled with expectation and concern, foreshadowing the potential impact Mrs. Delafield's decisions will have on her niece's future and the fragile bond between them.
