Language is one of the best ways to immediately create a barrier, but a porous barrier, because language is a thing that can be learned. When you look at a language, it’s used differently depending on where you are in the social strata, depending on how comfortable you are. Fashion reflects class, it reflects culture, it reflects insider/outsider delineations, royalty and commoner, the have and the have-not Fashion is not only a great visual shorthand but it’s also a societal indicator. Kell’s red coat or Lila’s black coat, these become shorthand that allow you to conjure up the character as you are reading. For me personally, fashion and language are the two that really inform. You have be very selective in details that can be indicators of greater concepts. ![]() ![]() How do you make the world feel real without getting bogged down in details? Instead of four different landscapes, I had four different iterations of the landscape where society had different relationships to power: One where magic was forgotten, one where it thrived in balance with people, one where it was subjugated, and one where it went unchecked and consumed everything. I wanted to write a portal fantasy, but I hate when a story starts with a map. Shades of Magic is set in four worlds that are centered on London. PW talked to Schwab about her bringing her imagined world into a visual medium. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'A single woman's answer to Nora Ephron's Heartburn. ![]() 'This novel, with its energy, bounce and generous delivery of a loud laugh on almost every page, stands as a declaration of war on two fronts: on normal and on unhappy' STEPHEN FRY ![]() 5, 1987 Yes, that's the Carrie Fisher, Princess Leila of the Star Wars films and daughter of Eddie, and this is her first novel, a maybe autobiographical, definitely ultra-hip, experimental, and dryly comic chronicle of a young actress's bouts with drugs, Hollywood, men. Ambitious, good-looking in a Heathcliffish way and in the grip of a monumental addiction, he makes Suzanne realize that, however eccentric her life might seem, there's always someone who's even closer to the edge of reason.Ĭarrie Fisher's bestselling debut novel is an uproarious commentary on Hollywood - the home of success, sex and insecurity - and has become a beloved cult classic. postcards from the edge by Carrie Fisher RELEASE DATE: Aug. Immersed in the sometimes harrowing, often hilarious goings-on of the drug hospital and wondering how she'll cope - and find work - back on the outside, she meets new patient Alex. Suzanne Vale, formerly acclaimed actress, is in rehab, feeling like 'something on the bottom of someone's shoe, and not even someone interesting'. This is just a response to the conditions we live in.' 'I don't think you can even call this a drug. ** In a new edition introduced by Stephen Fry ** ** THE NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLING CULT CLASSIC NOVEL ** Carrie Fishers novel, Postcards from the Edge, adapts elements from her own life in telling the story of Suzanne Vale, an actress whos returning to life after. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It also includes encomia on Egyptian martyrs and on all the martyrs. This rich collection includes homilies on martyrs Meletius, Eustathius, Lucian, Phocas, Juventinus and Maximinus, Ignatius, Eleazar (and the seven boys), Bernike, Prosdoke and Domnina, Barlaam, Drosis, and Romanus. ![]() Mayer pinpoints several conceptual shifts that identified and shaped this cult: the imitation of Christ’s own death the creedal declaration “I am a Christian” the sense of privilege bestowed upon martyrs the ritual purity of relics public veneration of the departed and places made holy by martyrs’ blood. The cult’s original point of focus was the Christian martyrs-those followers of the Jesus-movement who died in confession of their faith, either at the hands of other Jews or at the hands of the Roman administration. In this volume, Wendy Mayer investigates the liturgical, topographical, and pastoral aspects that marked the martyr cult at Antioch and Constantinople in Chysostom’s time. The cult of the saints is a phenomenon that expanded rapidly in the fourth century, and John Chrysostom’s homilies are important witnesses to its growth. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Jack and rick by david mcphail![]() ![]() McPhail’s delicately shaded watercolor illustrations show rotund Rick in an orange vest and jaunty Jack in a polka-dot neckerchief, with some hilarious expressions on the animals’ faces as they struggle with the heavy log. ![]() ![]() The text uses a question-and-answer format and just one simple sentence per page to tell the short but satisfying story, which has a real plot and real obstacles for the characters to overcome, despite the length. The two characters use a hollow log and Rick’s jump-rope to explore the concept of cooperation, helping each other in simple but creative ways until they can join together on the same bank of the river to jump rope side by side. In this emergent-level easy reader, Rick meets a rabbit named Jack, but unfortunately, Rick and Jack are on opposite sides of the river. No one can beat McPhail ( I Love You Because You’re You, 2001, etc.) at illustrations of bears, and Rick the bear joins a long list of the artist’s ursine charmers who can’t fail to win over young readers. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Brendan cowell the crucible![]() It underpins delicately an ensemble of powerful performances.Įmphasis on the word ‘ensemble’. The ambient soundscape lingers in the background slowly undulating to ramp up the terror. It is not just the aesthetics of Lyndsey Turner’s production that are carefully crafted. She drills down into individual psychologies of the play’s characters rather than the community wide tension no doubt a well calculated attempt on the director’s part to resist didactic finger wagging, shirking an obvious ‘cancel culture’ interpretation. Turner must be commended for keeping the audience on our toes. The Crucible is a worthwhile production, but it is never more than the sum of its parts. It’s the paranoia that proliferates through the New England community at the heart of the play.īut Lyndsey Turner doesn’t connect the dots. It’s not just the sense of the supernatural that lurks in this darkness. A shivering portentous feeling pervades the Olivier stage throughout The Crucible. Actors hover in from upstage like phantoms. ![]() ![]() The stage is cloaked in an oppressive darkness. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Opal by jennifer armentrout![]()
5/13/2023 0 Comments Science by Patricia Fara![]() ![]() Contributors : Richard Sennett, Catherine Hall, A. This thought-provoking and unusual collection will delight a wide variety of readers. The authors represent fields as diverse as psychoanalysis, creative writing, neuroscience, social history, and medicine but explore concepts beyond their areas of notoriety, providing textured, complete, and sometimes personal views of the meaning of memory. Memory exposes the falseness of such a dichotomy by illustrating the insights into memory that can be gained by juxtaposing the complementary perspectives of specialists venturing past the normal boundaries of their disciplines. ![]() Many would expect scientists to be concerned with studying only the mental and physical processes involved in remembering and humanities scholars to be interested in only the products of memory, such as literature, art, and music. ![]() The collection of eight essays, representing some of the most engaging contemporary voices in the arts and sciences, takes a unique interdisciplinary approach to address the relationships between individual experience and collective memory. This fascinating volume explores some of the many ways that individuals and societies remember, forget, and commemorate events of the past. The concept of memory has long intrigued scientists, philosophers, and scholars alike. Memory is both a private, personal phenomenon and a collective interpretation of history by society. ![]() |
