Many American families cherish faded memories of the Old Neighborhood and the Old Country, places that help supply both a sense of identity and a story of progress — complementary answers to the question “Where do we come from?” “Brooklyn,” a lovely film based on the even lovelier novel by Colm Toibin, feels like an answer to that question. Set in its titular borough and in a small Irish town in the early 1950s, it is both sharply observed and gently nostalgic. “Brooklyn” is an old photograph without a frame, an implied flashback. Nothing in the film takes place in the present, but everything in it is carried on an invisible current of imaginative retrospection. Like its literary source,the movie, directed by John Crowley (“Boy A”) and written by Nick Hornby, feels like the result of a child or grandchild’s inquiry into the lives of a previous generation. How did Mom and Dad meet? What were they like? Why did they get married? Where did we come from? It’s quite a tale, and also a perfectly ordinary series of events, strung together by chance, choice and perhaps a touch of grace. Continued on Page 6

There’s No Place Like Home
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 2015
All of creation converges in “In Jackson Heights,” a thrilling, transporting love letter from Frederick Wiseman to New York and its multi-everything glory. Set in the Queens neighborhood of its title — where people from across the globe are staking a claim on America while speaking Spanish, Tibetan and Punjabi Mr.Wiseman’s latest documentary is a movingly principled, political look at a dynamic neighborhood in which older waves of pioneers make room for new, amid

was created in the early 20th century as a suburblike development. The area’s modern history is inscribed in the elevat¬ed train (the line opened in 1917) that runs along Roosevelt Ave¬nue, its southernmost border, and which is glimpsed and heard throughout the movie. Other chapters of that history can be seen in the garden apartment houses that were built in the 1910s

creeping gentrification. It’s an immigration story, so it goes without saying that it is also about New York and the United States — that “teeming nation of nations,” to steal a phrase from Walt Whitman. Times Square is often called the crossroads of the world, but Mr. Wiseman suggests that that title more rightly belongs to Jackson Heights. The neighborhood, a blocky parcel formerly known as Trains Meadows and about 30 minutes by subway from Midtown Manhattan,

Published in France on Jan. 7, the day of the terrorist attacks on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Michel Houellebecq’s new book, “Submission” — a novel set in 2022 in which an Islamic party sweeps into power in France and Islamic law is embraced — became an instant best seller there and the center of a heated debate over the lines between satire and Islamophobia, free-expression and hate-mongering. Toward the end of that ugly new novel (now available in an English translation), Mr. Houellebecq has his narrator, François, make a barbed observation of another French writer, the
BalletNext Abraham.In.Motion experiment in jazz. A few weeks ago, the ballerina Michele Wiles wrinkled her nose in concern and confusion. Her company, BalletNext, was having its first rehearsal with the Tom Harrell Quintet, and the musicians were playing something a little different from the recording that the dancers had been practicing to for weeks.This was throwing off the dancers. After some halting conversation, the problem was fixed, but the dancers were going to have to get used to the music’s being a little different every time. The Tom Harrell Quintet plays jazz, and improvisation is built in. This week at New York Live Arts, the quintet is joining BalletNext in the premiere of Ms. Wiles’s “Apogee in 3.” Live jazz is a new step for her, one that comes with risks of unpredictability and the potential for idiomatic mismatches.

19th-century Decadent novelist J. K. Huysmans. It was “a mistake to give too much importance” to his “glib talk about ‘debauches’ and ‘dissipation,’ ” François thinks — that was just “part of the need to scandalize, to shock the bourgeoisie” and, in the end, “a career move.” Certainly, in Mr. Houellebecq’s own case, controversy has proved to be a very rewarding career move. His deliberately provocative novels have been best sellers in France and, according to The Guardian, he is “the first French novelist since Albert Camus to find a wide readership outside France.” It is success or notoriety stoked

BUFFALO — The Michigan Street Baptist Church, built here in the 1840s, was a haven for fugitives on the Underground Railroad, and a place of worship for illustrious citizens like Mary Burnett Talbert, a founder of the movement that led to the creation of the N.A.A.C.P. But one afternoon last weekend, its modest sanctuary hosted some other notable guests: nearly a dozen descendants of authors of slave narratives and other African-American antislavery activists. They included descendants of fa¬mous figures like Dred Scott, the plaintiff at the center of the infamous 1857 Supreme Court ruling, and Solo¬mon Northup, the author of “Twelve Years a Slave,” as well as descendants of less famous figures, all of whom had come for an unusual three-day gathering organized by the State Uni¬versity of New York at Buffalo. They arrived with photographs, books and rolling bags full of research SUSI RYAN, materials, along with a shared convic¬tion in the importance of Adescendant of slaves taking history into their own hands.

For the first time in more than a year, the widow of the actor Robin Williams is speaking publicly about the circumstances that pre¬ceded Mr. Williams’s death, and sharing details about a disease he had when he died. In interviews with People maga¬zine and with ABC News, the wid¬ow, Susan Schneider Williams, laid the blame for her husband’s suicide in 2014 not on depression but on dif¬fuse Lewy body dementia. “It was not depression that killed Robin,” Mrs. Williams said in the People magazine interview. “Depression was one of let’s call it 50 symptoms and it was a small one.” She added: “This was a very unique case and I pray to God that it will shed some light on Lewy bodies for the millions of people and their loved ones who are suffering with it. Because we didn’t know. He didn’t know.” Parts of an interview with Mrs. Williams were shown Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” with further segments scheduled for that evening on the network’s “World News Tonight” and “Nightline” programs, and Friday on its morning talk show “The View.” Mr. Williams, the stand-up comic and star of “Mork & Mindy,” “Good Morning, Vietnam,” “Good Will Hunting” (for which he won an Oscar) and “Dead Poets Society,” killed himself on Aug. 11,2014, in the home he shared with Mrs. Williams in Tiburon, Calif. He was 63. A statement issued that day by his press representatives said the actor had “been battling severe de¬pression of late.” Mrs. Williams said in a StateContinued on Page 2

by his bigoted remarks — in 2001, he described Islam, to a French literary magazine, as “the dumbest religion” — and willfully offensive novels like “The Elementary Particles,” filled with misogynist put-downs, putrid sex scenes and nihilistic pronouncements on the depravity of the human species. In an interview about “Submission,” he acknowledged using “scare tactics” that play upon the politics of fear. The reception of these books has often been as perverse as their contents. Mr. Houellebecq has won not only. Continued on page 2.
