Forget those new fangled ideas of Hell, and get back to the original. Along the way, learn about Purgatory on your way to Heaven. Yes, there is that much more to reference when you dress and dance around like a devil--or an angel--on Halloween. But wait, that is not all: Cambridge is also prepared to guide you through Hegel and 19th Century Thought, while politics get radical and reframed by Chantel Mouffe and Nickolas Rose. And then there is some Latin poetry and a few Modern Authors Collection books from Lawrence and Pinter to string out the journey. You can't leave Graduate Services with these books, but man the places you can go.

And then painted out the head and redid it three months later without having seen her again. When told Stein did not look like <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/modern_art/gertrude_stein_pablo_picasso/objectview_enlarge.aspx?page=1&amp;sort=0&amp;sortdir=asc&amp;keyword=&amp;fp=1&amp;dd1=21&amp;dd2=0&amp;vw=1&amp;collID=21&amp;OID=210008443&amp;vT=1">her portrait</a>, Picasso replied, she will. Ever wonder what the two of them were talking about when Stein wasn't spending her days sitting for Picasso? Well, <em>Correspondence: Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso </em>edited by Laurence Madeline is now a part of the Graduate Services Collection and it might answer this question. Along with the letters between these two titians of Modernism, the corresponce between George Bernard Shaw and his publishers and the letters between Theodore Dreiser and his women (the ones he fancied anyway) are now in Graduate Services; both should make for some interesting reading to say the least. There is also a book of George Orwell's thoughts on art in general and a book length conversation with Seamus Heaney on his art in particular. Want more? How about Burroughs and Kerouac sparring with art (and authorial ideology) as well as each other while finding their voices through collaboration in the long lost manuscipt now not so lost, <em>And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks</em>. Trying to get a word in edgewise are some works by Bowen, Atwood, Badiou (twice again), Cheever, Merwin, Oates, Zizek, and, always a part of the conversation 700 years and counting, Dante. From old favorites getting new looks to a few new books from old favorites talking about their books. Literature, letters, and good conversation seemed to sum up September.
