• Identifiable Qualities
  In this refreshing interview, Toni Morrison speaks with force and precision about such topics as the events of the sixties which led her to write her first novel, The Bluest Eye, the use of personal experience as a source for her strong African American female characters, and the advantage to publishers of placing African American writers in the mainstream.

• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (A&E)

• Lannan Literary Videos: Sharon Olds
  Sharon Olds' poetry has the intensity and power to move the reader, whether her subject be personal family life of political events. Her first book Satan Says, received the inaugural San Francisco Poetry Center Award, and her new book The Dead and the Living, won a National Book Critics Circle Award. Ms. Olds read from The Gold Cell, The Dead and the Living and from work in progress on April 8, 1991, in Los Angeles. She was interviewed by poet Lewis MacAdams.

• Orlando [DVD]
  Tilda Swinton, Billy Zane and Quentin Crisp star in this "hip, sexy and wickedly funny" film based on the gender- bending novel by Virgina Woolf. Swinton stars as Orlando, an English nobleman who defies the laws of nature with surprising results. Immortal and highly imaginative, he undergoes a series of extraordinary transformations which humorously and hauntingly illustrate the eternal war between the sexes. Visually stunning and beautifully acted, ORLANDO is an intoxicating blend of romance, adventure and illusion.
