![]() ![]() ![]() Navy in World War II as a ship's commander. Following his undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he served in the U.S. Though imbued with the commonplace, his poetry cannot be simply described as polemic or personal protest, for it stands on his craftsmanship, thematics, and grounding in tradition.įerlinghetti was born in Yonkers in 1919, son of Carlo Ferlinghetti who was from the province of Brescia and Clemence Albertine Mendes-Monsanto. Often concerned with politics and social issues, Ferlinghetti’s poetry countered the literary elite's definition of art and the artist's role in the world. A prominent voice of the wide-open poetry movement that began in the 1950s, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has written poetry, translation, fiction, theater, art criticism, film narration, and essays. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ware does an amazing job building up a genuinely unsettling atmosphere. Still, for just pure on-the-edge-of-my-seatness, this would be a hard one to beat. While the ending was satisfying in the sense that all questions were answered – some of them weren’t answers I really liked. The story was thoroughly engrossing – I basically couldn’t put it down, and finished the entire book in one evening! But in the end, I also found the tale to just be rather depressing. This was one of those books that I have troubled deciding whether or not I liked it. The Aroma of Books //Rants//Raves//Reviews// Pargeter, Edith (also writing as Ellis Peters).Mertz, Barbara (also writing as Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels).Christie, Agatha (also writing as Mary Westmacott).Children’s History: Landmark, Signature Biographies, and We Were There.#BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo (Litsy Challenge). ![]() ![]() Then, in the summer of 1992, there appeared in The New Yorker a long, two-part article by William Finnegan titled “Playing Doc’s Games” that was instantly recognized as a masterpiece. It came to seem that surfing, like some pagan mystery cult, might simply defy literary representation, remaining properly understood only by initiates who were too busy surfing to learn to write. Yet when surfers themselves began to write about it, in the 1960s, what they produced was usually bad in other ways - pretentious, semiliterate, purple or merely slight. Most canonical accounts of surfing, from Captain Cook to Tom Wolfe, are written by nonsurfers who tend to wax gooey about the sport’s joys while getting its mechanics and ethos laughably wrong. ![]() ![]() Mukherjee decided to write a history of cancer when a terminally ill patient asked him a simple question: could he explain exactly "what it is I'm battling?" But as Mukherjee immersed himself in research, the disease quickly began to assume the characteristics of a personality, and so cancer's historian became its biographer. Mukherjee's impression of reluctant ownership of his own success is, I suspect, down to a profound sense of personal insignificance in the face of his subject's enormity. ![]() ![]() Soon, though, I realise that is not it either. Then I think, no, of course, the poor man must just be so accustomed by now to the carousel of plaudits and prizes and media demands, he has reached the glaze of autopilot. Yet when Siddhartha Mukherjee talks about his book, it is with a striking air of disinterested detachment. ![]() Published a year ago, the Emperor of All Maladies has won the Pulitzer prize for non-fiction, been shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle award, and named one of the Top 10 Books of the Year by the New York Times, Time magazine and Oprah Winfrey the sort of success that soars beyond the wildest heights of literary ambition into the stratosphere of fantasy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by the multi-talented illustrator and print-maker Sara Ogilvie, The Detective Dog is a fast-paced celebration of books, reading, libraries and the relationship between a little boy and his rather special dog.

There was no progression, build up, or climax. It didn’t help that Craig’s suicidal thoughts were thrust upon the viewer seemingly out of the blue. His depression was unbelievable in the sense that he seemed more apathetic towards everything than grasping at straws to survive or desperately seeking a way out. ![]() This, of course, is unavoidable in adaptations to some extent, but they rewrote most of the book in a way that neither kept its themes nor respected its plot.Īnother negative was Keir Gilchrist’s performance as I feel he played the role of Craig in a very flat and un-emotive way. Even though the movie had enjoyable moments, the screenwriters/directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden lost tons of great detail in their adaptation of the book. Overall, I found this film underwhelming. Due to construction taking place at the hospital, he’s housed with adult patients of the hospital’s mental health unit, as well as with teens, and meets some very interesting people as a result. ![]() It follows Craig Gilner, a gifted and depressed teenager, after he checks himself into the hospital for suicidal thoughts. “It’s Kind of a Funny Story” was based on Ned Vizzini’s most popular novel of the same name. ![]() ![]() Starring: Keir Glichrist Zach Galifianakis Emma Roberts ![]() ![]() ![]() 'There are traces here of Karin Fossum, and even John Boorman’s film Deliverance, when a mentally unstable group of brothers and their dominant mother cause havoc on the plains of Linköping.' Mats Johnson, Göteborgs-Posten 'If you chose to read just one book this summer - read Mons Kallentoft's Midvinterblod.' Magnus Utvik at Swedish Television ![]() 'The highest suspense.' Camilla Läckberg, international bestselling author of The Stonecutter Kallentoft's story is, I think, even better than Steig Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.' Richard, Richard and Judy's Book Club ![]() With her many personal problems, Malin makes for an intriguing and sympathetic character. 'Midwinter Sacrifice is utterly gripping, with a superb plot. 'One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer.' Guardian 'A must for the fans of Swedish crime novels.' Globe and mail (Canada) ![]() ![]() I watched my own family grapple in recent years with meanings of gender when my niece came out as trans. As Trump leads a top-down assault against trans people, we are also witnessing a wider cultural awareness of trans people and their issues, undoubtedly driven by a mix of activism, media representation, and personal encounters. Much like the struggle for gay and lesbian rights in recent years, the struggle for trans acceptance and rights has greatly intensified, resulting in some limited progress during the Obama years and horrific backlash under Trump. So much has changed-for both better and worse, since progress is not linear-in the years after Susan Stryker’s Transgender History: The Roots of Today’s Revolution was first published in 2008. ![]() If you are interested in writing for the series, please send a kosmail to Chrislove.

The characters sounded like they were in a toxic relationship, the main guy seemed like a huge asshole, and it didn’t appeal to me. Heck, it’s not even your typical New Adult novel. The reason why is because this isn’t your typical romance novel. To be honest, when I first read the synopsis, I was not interested in reading this. ![]() Only ever you,” he breathed out in pain, closing his eyes.
