# A Marriage Below Zero

A Marriage Below Zero is a novel by Alan Dale. Published in 1889, it has been described as the first English-language novel portraying a romantic relationship between two men. It is a melodrama told from the point of view of a young woman who realises her new husband has been in a long-standing affair with another man.

## Plot

The book is told from the point of view of Elsie Bouverie, a pretty, frivolous English girl who falls in love with handsome, quiet Arthur Ravener. They marry, and Elsie gradually comes to realise that she has competition for Arthur's affection in the form of Captain Dillington, Arthur's male lover. Elsie engages a private detective who provides her with an address in Notting Hill; she goes there to find Dillington and Arthur together. Elsie and Arthur leave London for New York City. While there they attend a service given by a clergyman who preaches against sodomy. This affects Arthur to such an extent that he leaves Elsie. Some years later, Elsie travels to Paris where she believes Arthur and Dillington have become involved in a homosexual scandal. She goes to the hotel where she believes Arthur is staying, only to find him dead in his room.

## Major themes

The book is notable for its portrayal of a gay romance at a time when mainstream fiction avoided this topic. It is the first English-language gay-themed novel, and establishes the pattern of gay novels ending in death, especially suicide. Its melodramatic format is closely linked to its author's occupation as a New York drama critic at a time when the primary American theatre form was melodrama.
Its publication roughly coincided with the Cleveland Street scandal, a case that had been developing for years involving a London gay brothel.

# Building Workers' Trade Union

The Building Workers' Trade Union (BWTU) was a trade union in Ireland.
The union was founded in 1942, with the aim of bringing together construction unions, in part due to the expectation that requirements of the Trade Union Act 1941 would mean only one union would be permitted to formally negotiate for the industry. It brought together seven unions:
* Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick Layers' Trade Union
* Irish National Painters' and Decorators' Trade Union
* Irish National Union of Woodworkers
* Limerick City Guild of Carpenters and Joiners
* Limerick Operative House Painters
* Stonecutters' Union of Ireland
* United Operative House and Ship Painters' and Decorators' Trade Union of Ireland
It initially affiliated to the Irish Trade Union Congress, but in 1945 joined the Congress of Irish Unions split. From 1959, it was affiliated to the new Irish Congress of Trade Unions. Membership peaked at 2,096 in 1950, but then fell as many of the affiliates left, until only the Brick Layers remained. In 1981, the union adopted the name of its sole affiliate, the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick Layers' Trade Union. In 1998, it merged with the National Union of Wood Workers and Wood Cutting Machinists, to form the Building and Allied Trades' Union.

# Damascus House

Damascus House is a 2016 novel by Corrina Wycoff. It follows several members of a fundamentalist Christian church in the aftermath of a dramatic confession.
Wycoff's previous book, the short story collection O Street, was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Debut Fiction in 2007.

## Plot

Amy Rotolo's announcement to her family that she is a lesbian sets off a series of events which threaten to unravel the tight knit members of Pastor Lou Bianchi's fundamentalist Christian church in Riverview, New Jersey. The resulting drama escalates to irrevocably impact Amy's parents Vic and Linda, her "perfect" childhood friend Rachel, Rachel's husband Alan, Rachel's high school boyfriend Paul, and his wife Lee.

## Format and themes

Damascus House is a psychological novel written from the perspective of six different characters. Wycoff told the Puyallup Post, "It's not an indictment against the religious community. It asks how we make sense of faith and circumstance. What does it mean to figure out what to believe when you’ve been told what to believe all of your life?"

## Reception

Lydia Netzer described the novel as "one family’s love story with a faith so painful and confusing the only salvation is to break apart everything." Deb Olin Unferth called it "riveting" and "addictive", adding that "this dazzling book will win you over fast and then splinter your soul." Cris Mazza wrote:
   Damascus House develops rich pathos for those who choose to cut ties as well as those who remain, while delicately maintaining a focus on the human drama, with neither an indictment nor endorsement of religion itself, except to observe how contemporary people use, abuse, rely on, form identity with, can be disillusioned or buoyed by a man-made institution.
Miriam Gershon praised the author, saying "Wycoff writes with authority, precision and a deep empathy that infuses even the most godless of foibles with humanity." Foreword Reviews described Damascus House as "a knockout as a late-blooming bildungsroman", and called it "an astounding, crisp, and un-ironic portrait of one religious community’s unraveling".

## Plot summary

The narrator, unmarried and friendless, books a room in a Paris boarding house. By chance he finds a hole in his wall, through which he can see the adjoining room and its inhabitants. From the other side, he witnesses lesbianism, adultery, incest, thievery, vicious proselytizing and death, musing to the reader on the philosophical implications of the events he witnesses. His voyeurism eventually convinces him to quit his room and find a fulfilling life of his own, but as he attempts to leave he is crippled with backache and blindness.

# Keeping You a Secret

Keeping You a Secret is a young adult novel by Julie Anne Peters. It was first published in hardback in 2003, and later in paperback in 2005.
The novel is about Holland, a 17-year-old girl, discovering her sexuality and what it is like to experience homophobia. What starts out as a confusing "girl crush" becomes a discovery of Holland's true feelings and coping with the concept of attraction to a member of her own sex. Other characters in the novel discover her crush and employ various means of physical and emotional abuse and violence, displaying strong homophobic behaviors.
Keeping You a Secret was a finalist for the 2004 Lambda Literary Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature and Stonewall Book Award.

## Reception

Kirkus Reviews referred to the novel as "revealing" and noted that "gay or straight" readers will "identify with the excitement that accompanies that first love affair. At the heart is the realization that secrecy can damage many relationships, no matter the connection".
Publishers Weekly wrote, "Peters [...] raises important points about the ramifications of coming out, but covers so much territory that her plotting suffers". They noted that some character development and action "seems too sudden", "comes across as extreme", or "feel[s] contrived". They concluded that "readers will appreciate Holland's new ability to live free of others' expectations [...] but the messages here seem to take precedence over plot".
Booklist also reviewed the novel.

## Awards and honors

Keeping You a Secret was a finalist for the 2004 Lambda Literary Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature and Stonewall Book Award. It was also included on the American Library Association's 2004 Amelia Bloomer List.
# Furlane (shoe)

Furlane or friulanes, also known as Gondolier slippers, are Venetian shoe slippers. Usually characterized by their flexible rubber soles, these shoes are usually flats or low heels, with velvet fabric uppers.

## Origin

The furlane shoe originated in the countryside of Friuli in the 19th century. They regained popularity in Europe at the end of the Second World War.
Red Cross nurses, looking for practical alternatives for footwear, made furlane shoes from donated materials. Much of the material, including velvet, fabric, and rubber, came from private donors and small businesses. The task of creating these shoes provided simple, practical work for those who were unemployed, particularly in hospitals such as the Military Hospital, the Morelli di Popolo, and the Regina Margherita.
Later on when they started getting sold on the Rialto Bridge, they went on to appear on the feet of the Venetian gondoliers, who used them to protect the wood of the gondolas.
Italian businesswomen Viola and Vera Arrivabene launched their own line of these shoes in 2016.

## Modern furlanes

Furlane shoes came back into fashion in 2016, especially in the United States. They have often been reshaped into a modified, elongated shape that has a small heel and a slightly peaked toe.
Worn at the Venice Biennale, the furlane shoes won appeal for their origin in recycled materials, and adaptability.

## Manufacture

The manufacture of furlane is generally more intricate than other slippers, with the upper part being the most complex to manufacture. In the post-war era, when the Red Cross gathered materials for the people of Friuli, furlane shoes were started by some ladies from Friuli, who layered the cloth from old clothes, sheets, and pieces of tablecloth. Each swatch was bound and cut with a sharp knife to form a comfortable sole. Over time, the cloth sole was replaced with the runner from bicycle tires, which is sometimes still used today.
