Iphigenia in Forest HillsAnatomy o a Murder Trial

Janet Malcolm

She couldnt have done it and she must have done it. This is theenigma at the heart o Janet Malcolms riveting new book about amurder trial in the insular Bukharan-Jewish community o Forest Hills,Queens, that captured national attention. The deendant, MazoltuvBorukhova, a beautiul young physician, is accused o hiring an assassinto kill her estranged husband, Daniel Malakov, a respected orthodontist,in the presence o their our-year old child. The prosecutor calls it an acto vengeance: just weeks beore Malakov was killed in cold blood, he wasgiven custody o Michelle or inexplicable reasons. It is the Dickensianordeal o Borukhovas innocent child that drives Malcolms inquiry.

With the intellectual and emotional precision or which she is known,Malcolm looks at the triala contest between competing narra-

tivesrom every conceivable angle. It is the chasm between ourideals o justice and the human actors that infuence every trialromdivergent lawyering abilities to the nature o jury selection, the malle-ability o evidence, and the disposition o the judgethat is perhapsmost striking.

Uncloseting DramaAmerican Modernism and QueerPerormance

Nick Salvato

Why would major modernist writersin the early twentieth century turn tocloset dramaplays written not orpublic presentation but or privatereading? How did this nearly orgottenmode spark the imaginations o guresas diverse but aliated as Ezra Pound,Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes, andLouis Zukosky? In this elegant study,Nick Salvato argues that the collectivemodernist renewal o the closet dramaconstituted a queerinvestment in themodes rich potential or ambiguity

and deviance. Through a series o closereadings, he shows that these writersrevived the closet drama in order bothto resist the increasing codication osexual identities in a new era o sexualsciences and to reject the conventionso the stage.

writers, artists, and musicians dur-ing the Stalin era; the lost voices oShostakovichs operas (a orm heabandoned just beore turning tostring quartets); and the death-silenced voices o his close riends,to whom he dedicated many o thesechamber works.
