# The Understory

The Understory is the debut novel by American author Pamela Erens published in 2007 by Ironweed Press, and republished in 2014 by Tin House Books following the success of her second novel, The Virgins. It was a finalist for both the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing fiction prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for First Fiction.

## Plot introduction

The story concerns Jack Gorse, a lonely unemployed lawyer with obsessive-compulsive traits whose life is controlled with routine and ritual. The narrative alternates between his past life in Manhattan, and his present life in a Buddhist monastery in Vermont where he attempts to restore neglected bonsai trees. His routine in Manhattan includes visiting the same diner and bookstore every day and walking the same route to Brooklyn Bridge and through Central Park whilst searching for identical twins. But his equilibrium is upset when he is threatened with eviction from his long-term Upper West Side apartment and he becomes attracted to Patrick, the architect planning its redevelopment.

## Title

As explained by the protagonist whilst considering the flora of Central Park:
   What speaks to me most is close to the ground: the shrubs and vines, rather than the great elms, oaks, and maples. The understory, as botanists call it. In the decades after the war, when the city turned its back on the park—firing the groundskeepers, ceding greater and greater swaths of land to the muggers and drug dealers—it was not the big trees that began to disappear; it was the shrubs: the witch hazel and jetbead, black haw and sweet pepperbush. The park became like the city: skyscrapers, no texture. And that meant it was dying. The things that live at ground level are what hold the earth fast. . . . It is the shrubs that allow the park to survive.

## Reception

Reviews were positive :
* Vanessa Blakeslee in Kenyon Review writes that "Erens uses ancillary maneuvers to create a psychological study of disturbance, where thought, rhetorical questioning, atmosphere and theme imbue meaning over plot. From the beginning, Erens wisely sets up her quiet tension for escalation in chapters that cut back and forth" and later, "One of the most notable aspects of her fiction is the way she takes “sensory snapshots” of her world and its inhabitants—honing in on details that may appear tertiary at the time, but which effectively build so that the novel feels like a living, breathing mural."..."The result is a ruthlessly poignant depiction of a New York City steadily ceding to gentrification" and she concludes "By the book’s ending, Erens’ focus on a solitary, disturbed man plays as a lyrical sleight-of-hand. For as her themes seamlessly double back and unify, she provokes greater questions—of what happens to those leading quiet lives when they refuse to change, and are pushed to the brink."

# All Saints' Church, Edmonton

All Saints' Church, Edmonton, is located in Church Street Edmonton, London, England. First recorded in the 12th century, it was entirely rebuilt in the 15th century and has undergone many modifications since.

## History

All Saints is the parish church of Edmonton, formerly in the county of Middlesex and now in the London Borough of Enfield.
The earliest known reference to the existence of the church comes in a document dating to some time between 1136 and 1142, which records it being given to Walden Abbey by Geoffrey de Mandeville. It was completely rebuilt in the 15th century, and has undergone many significant alterations since. In 1772 the exterior was clad in brick and all the tracery, except that of the chancel, was replaced with wooden window frames. William Robinson, an early 19th-century historian of Edmonton, attributed the nature of the work to the fact that one of the churchwardens was a bricklayer, and the other a carpenter. When Robinson described the church, it had only one aisle, on the north side of the nave.
The church's rector in 1772, Dawson Warren, regretted the architectural changes, and described them in verse:
   The buttresses were chipped away and cased The ancient battlements built up and coped With square-cut stones, the Gothic window frames The costly work of our forefathers' zeal With sacrilegious hands were torn away And changed for timber…
The chancel was restored by Ewan Christian in 1855 and the 18th-century wooden tracery was replaced in stone in 1868. In an extensive refurnishing of 1871 the galleries, added in the late 18th century were removed, and the box pews replaced. In 1889 a south aisle and an organ chamber were added to designs by Ewan Christian's former assistant WG Scott. The four-stage 15th-century west tower is now the only part of the church that retains its medieval exterior. Inside, the nave roof and north arcade also date from the 15th century, while the south arcade dates from the alterations of 1889.

Modern Love received positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on 4 reviews.
Jedd Beaudoin of PopMatters called it "the closest a pop album comes to perfection this year", giving high praise to the track listing for being an amalgam of late 80s to early 90s pop music and balancing both its ballads and upbeat tracks, concluding that it will have "a long and positive legacy, one that can be appreciated by a broad audience if only that audience can listen without prejudice." AllMusic editor Andrew Leahey commended Nathanson for making a consistent project that puts a polished sheen into his signature musicianship from the previous record but found it overall to be "almost meticulously inoffensive," concluding that its "both the blessing and the curse of this album, which charts a steady path but offers few surprises as a result."

# Josep Pascó i Mensa

Josep Pascó i Mensa (Catalan pronunciation:) (1855–1910), was a painter, illustrator and designer from Catalonia, an autonomous community of Spain, mostly noted for book illustrations and theater set design. He was born in Sant Feliu de Llobregat in 1855 and died in Barcelona in 1910. He trained as a painter at the Escola de la Llotja with Simó Gómez and at the workshop of designer Josep Planella. He began his career as a mural painter but then switched to canvas, mostly landscapes. One of his most original paintings is that of the flag of the Cau Ferrat in Sitges.
His most distinguished work is in the illustration of books and the design of decorative objects, as well as the design of theater sets, starting early with those for small amateur theater companies.
In 1887, he went to Madrid, where he worked at the Royal Theater and was then commissioned to decorate the Principe Alfonso Theater stage. In 1896 he went to Mexico to paint the scenery of the National Theater (since replaced by the Palacio de Bellas Artes). When he returned to Spain, he decided to focus on theater lighting. He also worked on the decoration of the home of Ramon Casas i Carbó in Barcelona.
Pascó's illustration work was mostly devoted to magazines such as Arte y Letras (Arts and Letters) and La Ilustració catalana (Catalan Illustration), done under the pseudonym of Brisa. He also produced a number of very notable illustration for scrolls.
Pascó later became a professor at the College of Arts and Industries in Barcelona, and the artistic director of the journal Hispania. Whilst he was at College of Arts and Industries in Barcelona he worked with Modest Urgell and he taught the young Joan Miró before he died in 1910.
