At the end of Private Life; Public Performance JG mentions that the first act was a collaboration between him and Mireille Silcoff and appears in Guilt and Pleasure. For the life of me, I can’t find it but I did find some other delectable goodies:
- Gregor Ehrlich essay: A Life in Chickens
- Jonathan Goldstein: Messiah in a Bottle (print version of the episode Messiah ‘83)
- Jonathan Goldstein: Man Not Superman (as read by Rob Corddry in We Are Not Supermen, also heard on This American Life)
- David Rakoff: Oh The Trouble I’ve Heard
- Shalom Auslander: Plagued
- Gregor Ehrlich: To Life
- Shalom Auslander: Mahmoud, Mom; Mom, Mahmoud
- Mireille Silcoff: Chez l’arabe
Oh and pictures:
I think you should all go to Guilt and Pleasure and read/buy every issue. David Rakoff has a piece in the newest issue, too.
I think this is an all-Jewish publication. Though it doesn’t mention that any where in its about. Maybe it just so happens that all my favorite authors are Canadian Jews.
Guilt & Pleasure is a quarterly magazine that’s making you talk more . Guilt & Pleasure is based on the belief that a good argument – especially on issues of community and identity in America – has become too rare a thing. We hope our magazine and the DIY section of this website will be used as raw material to spark conversation – be it around the dinner table, a coffee shop, or a bar. Guilt & Pleasure encourages you to talk amongst yourselves.
UPDATE: I emailed the magazine seeking the piece, and apparently it doesn’t exist?:
I’m not sure which article you are referring to. Jonathan and Mireille have both written for the magazine (and Mireille was the editor-in-chief) but I don’t believe they ever did an article together. And the hypnotist doesn’t sound familiar to me although I wasn’t working here for the first four issues so I could be wrong. It sounds like it would be in the Magic issue- there is an article about Hitler’s psychic/hypnotist by Mel Gordon in there- could that be what they were talking about?
Hmm, Guess I’ll ask CBC.
