Irving Fiske : ウィキペディア英語版 | Irving Fiske Irving Fiske (March 5, 1908 – April 25, 1990) born Irving Fishman in Brooklyn, New York, was a playwright, inventor, freelance writer, and speaker. He is associated with Quarry Hill Creative Center, the Fiske family property, in Rochester, Vermont. ==Biography== Fiske, a 1928 graduate of Cornell University, was born in Brooklyn, NY to an immigrant Jewish family from Georgia, Russia, and Rumania. He had two brothers, Milton and Robert, and a sister, Miriam. Milton was a Bohemian, like Irving, and a classical composer, like his hero, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with whom he shared a birthday. Irving had worked for the Federal Writer's Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the 1930s, had written for H. L. Mencken’s ''American Mercury'', had corresponded with George Bernard Shaw, had written an article now considered a classic, "Bernard Shaw’s Debt to William Blake", and had translated Shakespeare's ''Hamlet'' into Modern English. This was considered a controversial literary action at the time. John Ciardi, who did not approve, reprinted excerpts in the ''Saturday Review''. Most readers wrote in favor of the translation. In the mid-1960s, Fiske began to give talks on Tantric Yoga and other religions and philosophies at the Gallery Gwen in New York's East Village. Many associated him with Robert Crumb's mischievous comic book guru Mr. Natural. Hundreds of young people, including many who became well-known such as Art Spiegelman (who dated Fiske's daughter Isabella) and Stephen Huneck, began to visit the Fiske family property, Quarry Hill Creative Center, in Rochester, Vermont; many stayed to build houses, and Quarry Hill became the oldest (founded 1946) and largest alternative lifestyle group in Vermont, and one of the largest in New England. Irving Fiske's Centennial (March 5, 1908 – 2008) was celebrated in Vermont and in Florida in 2008.
