1970s British anthology horror series. In each episode a character
tells a horror tale and if it is deemed scary enough by the 'Club
of the Damned' they will be accepted as a new member. If they fail
to frighten their listeners, however, they will pay with their
lives... The episodes are: 'Ghosts of Venice', 'Countess Ilona',
'The Werewolf Reunion', 'Mr Nightingale', 'Lady Sybil', 'Viktoria',
'Night of the Marionettes' and 'Dorabella'.
Before playwright Charles Gordone (1925-1995) became a Texan, he
became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for
Drama, for No Place to Be Somebody, in 1970. His search for a home
in the West led him in 1987 to Texas A&M University, where he
taught playwriting for the last nine years of his life, and to an
influential role in the Cowboy Renaissance of the 1990s. Much as
Mary Austin saw the West as a place without gender, Gordone
regarded Texas as a place without race, where the need for
neighborly connections outweighed discriminatory urges. A Place to
Be Someone covers the years prior to this geographical and
psychological journey, the childhood and youth that deeply informed
Gordone's pilgrimage. Growing up in Elkhart, Indiana, a "free"
northern town, Charles Gordone and his family never fit completely
into commonly understood racial categories. Elkhart and the world
labeled them "black," ignoring the rest of their multiracial and
multiethnic heritage. Their familial experiences shaped not only
their identities but also their perceptions. For Gordone, childhood
was the beginning of a lifelong battle against labels, and this
memoir shows many of the reasons why. Written by his younger sister
Shirley, who recognized that her brother had spent his whole life
coming "home" to Texas, this revealing family memoir will be
welcomed by Gordone scholars and those in African American drama
and literature, American studies, women's studies, and history and
by any reader young or old who seeks to understand the forces and
consequences of discrimination and mental and physical abuse. The
sole surviving sibling, Shirley Gordon Jackson tells this story
with the intimacy and immediacy it demands.
