Esau was the hunger, the simple, direct son. I preferred the imaginative one, the smooth, clever Jacob who sat in my tent watching the rages of Isaac turn first on the son within himself, the pitiful kitten fathered by a lion, careful of its stride, watching slow rage then turn on us like the thunder of winter sleet driving in from the mountains.

Naomi James, 29, a native of New Zealand, made the voyage in 272 days aboard the Express Crusader, accompanied by her kitten Boris and a stack of Rod Stewart tape recordings.

Her artwork is another matter...
...immobile at center stage. He can use only his face, his voice and his hands to convey scalding inner pain, the shame of incessant humiliation, a wry humor that disguises itself as self-mocking wrath and a shyly proffered love that he knows will be drowned like an unwanted kitten. Directed with unswerving authority by Robert Drivas, James Coco has reached the pinnacle of his career as a poignant martyr...
