It was in the yard that she cleaned the sheep hides she took in on the day of Eid, and there Youssef received the rare friends who came to visit. The yard, where his mother did the cooking and the washing, was open to the sky. The house had one room with no windows, and a roof made of corrugated tin held down by rocks.

The lights brighten, “Ale Brider” begins to play, and we are somewhere else now, the two women part of the ensemble’s circle dance. “Remember this,” Lemml instructs as the two lovers-Rifkele and Manke-twirl together in the rain.

The catalog of his phobias and behavioral tics, the intrigue (especially his decades-long office romance with Lillian Ross, which was meant to be a deep, deep secret and become, with the passage of time, merely the obvious but unmentionable status quo), the passive-aggressive manipulation of colleagues and contributors, the velvet tenacity of his grip on power…it’s all almost enough to make us forget the astonishing success with which he steered the magazine.Įarlier this week, Lillian Ross passed away at the age of ninety-nine. Nowadays Shawn is nearly as famous for his oddities as for his editorial prowess.
