HUMANITIES: When did you become interested in history? ![]() I wanted to capture this fullness of tradition, and that’s what drew me to writing. I was really interested in what makes Black culture unique and its own-its traditions, foodways, the humor and the pleasure and, you know, some of the blues notes, too. I really wanted to understand what I think I’ve been interested in for the rest of my writing career, which is “the Blackness of Blackness,” as I said in the subtitle to my nonfiction book The Grey Album. My parents grew up in the rural segregated South, and I was much more focused on the fact that they grew up in Black environments. ![]() My first book was about the South and the way of life there. And Louisiana is what I first started really writing about in depth. ![]() That’s where I went to high school, and I moved there when I was nine, but I moved six times before that.įor me, home was always more Louisiana, where both my parents are from.

The novel heavily inspired the plot of the Danish feature film Italian for Beginners (2000), which won a Silver Berlin Bear and several other major international awards. Nora O'Donoghue and Aidan Dunne also appear in Quentins, another novel by Maeve Binchy, and play a more significant role in Heart and Soul. It is a story of love and deceit, family drama, wealth and poverty, of friendship and courage, and lots of laughter. In a Dickensian way, they bump into each other and are affected by the decisions of those around them. Each chapter deals with the life story of one or more students in the class. Plot introduction Ī story of many Irish men and women from various backgrounds and how a teacher, Nora O'Donoghue (known as "Signora"), and an Italian evening class changes their lives over the course of a year. ![]() It was adapted as the award-winning film Italian for Beginners (2000) by writer-director Lone Scherfig, who failed to formally acknowledge the source, although at the very end of the closing credits is the line 'with thanks to Maeve Binchy'. ![]() Evening Class is a 1996 novel by the Irish author Maeve Binchy. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments Loser by Jerry Spinelli![]() ![]() PLUS! Who can pass up the chance to hear "Carl Showalter" (Steve Buscemi) from "Fargo" narrate?! How cool is that?! Something to keep in the back of your mind & grin about while you listen (he does a stellar job, too - just hits every mark). ![]() What talent/acuity/skill/dexterity/gifts he has been blessed with. ![]() If you LOVED "Stargirl" (as I did), then you'll LOVE "Loser"! What a wonderful storyteller Mr. Anyway, if you liked "Stargirl", you'll like "Loser". If it had been written as a stand-alone w/a different-named protagonist, I would have bought into it more. This story will burrow under your skin & become a part of you - 'in a good way'.☺️ I say I want more.but I also believe a sequel would dilute this tale, much as the sequel to "Stargirl" did for me although very good, it wasn't a good sequel. This book sends a powerful message, but not the "ram it down your throat" kind of message so many pc books of late attempt. The protagonist is a joyous AND joyful, wonderful, marvelous child who loves life & school & his family &.everything!.& also doesn't realize his peers think he's a "loser". Children will love this story, too but, like all good Disney animated movies, astute adults might learn/absorb even more. Yes, this is a "children's" book, but I'm 53 & loved it. ![]() ![]() Yoshio Aramaki, “Soft Clocks” 1968 (Japan) – translated by Kazuko Behrens and stylized by Lewis Shiner How many of these stories have you read? GRADE: A. A bargain! If you’re looking for a hefty anthology that maps out Science Fiction of the 20th Century, this book delivers. The list price of this volume is $25, but I was able to buy it on AMAZON for $15.94. The Vanderveers include more “international” SF stories than you’ll find in most SF anthologies. Like Ann & Jeff VanderMeer’s previous massive anthologies like The Weird and The Time-Traveler’s Almanac, you get a huge tome of stories to work your way through. Despite the large number of stories, many readers will wonder why some of their favorite SF stories are missing. ![]() Like the 1950 Groff Conklin anthology similarly titled The Big Book of Science Fiction, this 2016 version attempts to embrace the whole spectrum of SF with 99 stories. ![]() The Big Book of Science Fiction edited by Ann & Jeff VanderMeer weighs in at 1,178 pages. ![]() ![]() This is a book with humor and a unique perspective, from an author I enjoy. I loved the feeling which the language of the book produced in me. I loved the descriptions of nature, the language used to sketch a society in which gender and sexuality are less fraught with conflict, and in which some of our pressing issues have been solved. I really loved A Psalm For The Wild-Built. Together with his friend Sibling Dex, Moss Cap undertakes a tour of human settlements. He has emerged from the wilderness to meet with humankind, the first robot to do so in living memory. Moss Cap has embarked upon a diplomatic mission. In the first book we learn that the world was divided into a populated part belonging to humans, and the rest is wilderness and it is into this wilderness that robotkind retreated after they ‘awoke’ and rejected unpaid servitude en masse. ![]() And the world is enjoying a time of peace and healing after the collapse, which is only hinted at, though we know it was bad. This is a post-industrial world in which humans have learned the hard lessons of the industrial, nuclear, and digital ages in which humans value wildlife enough to abandon huge tracts of land to the animals in perpetuity, and put an end to all forms of industry that were destroying their planet. ![]() The first novel in this series was almost transcendental it was so good. I’m not going to say that I’m disappointed, exactly. ![]() |
