![]() The results reveal something entirely new not only about this one remarkable, walleyed life, but about the way we tell queer love stories. ![]() As Shapland reckons with the expanding and collapsing distance between her and McCullers, she sees how McCullers’s story has become a way to articulate something about herself. Shapland recognizes herself in the letters’ language-but does not see McCullers as history has portrayed her.Īnd so, Shapland is compelled to undertake a recovery of the full narrative and language of McCullers’s life: she wades through the therapy transcripts she stays at McCullers’s childhood home, where she lounges in her bathtub and eats delivery pizza she relives McCullers’s days at her beloved Yaddo. ![]() While working as an intern in the archives at the Harry Ransom Center, Jenn Shapland encounters the love letters of Carson McCullers and a woman named Annemarie-letters that are tender, intimate, and unabashed in their feelings. ![]() ![]() ![]() With the help of spirits, guides, and friends Jake is able to pause his identity crises and save himself. Of course, so would he, but circumstances conspire to make him get over that quickly so that he can save himself from evil possession. There are some book heroes that you kind of want to be. And, he can see ghosts–one of which wants to take over his body and kill everybody. His teachers and fellow students bully him in the nasty, covertly racialized way that many of us have dealt with in real life. He’s depressed and probably has some form of PTSD from past abuse. He’s one of only two Black kids at a very white elite private school.(The other is his thug-a-be brother.) He’s a shy queer kid surrounded by homophobes. Jake is also at the intersection of a lot of difficult life positions, and like most YA protagonists, his main goal is to figure himself out. 16 year old Jake Livingston can see ghosts–but that’s not the most interesting thing about this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Sag Harbor is a kind of black ‘Brighton Beach memoirs’. Whitehead seems to be having the time of his life.” -The Boston Globe “Warm and funny, carefully observed, and beautifully written. Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto, coming soon! But maybe, just maybe, this summer might be one for the ages. Benji will be tested by contests big and small, by his misshapen haircut (which seems to have a will of its own), by the New Coke Tragedy, and by his secret Lite FM addiction. There will be complicated new handshakes to fumble through and state-of-the-art profanity to master. The summer of ’85 won’t be without its usual trials and tribulations, of course. But every summer, Benji escapes to the Hamptons, to Sag Harbor, where a small community of Black professionals have built a world of their own. ![]() From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys: a hilarious and supremely original novel set in the Hamptons in the 1980s, "a tenderhearted coming-of-age story fused with a sharp look at the intersections of race and class” ( The New York Times).īenji Cooper is one of the few Black students at an elite prep school in Manhattan. ![]() ![]() ![]() I believe the movie is really entertaining and interesting. The film is, therefore, extremely reliable since they gathered their information from the original source that lived through what the in-film actress displayed. This definitely facilitated the writers and directors of this movie to be able to recreate her story into a film. Since she was a reporter and journalist for the New York Times, she was asked to write a memoir of her story. The story line followed the actual life stories that the real Susannah Calahan dealt with in her life. ![]() Since the movie is based on a true story, most of it is not fictional and shows reliable information. Lastly, this movie can be catered to academicians, especially if they are studying Psychology, because it is extremely informational on brain disorders and Anti-NMDA-Receptor Encephalitis. It can also be catered to students because it follows an interesting story line of a young 21 year old who is struggling to find herself in her own body and the drama keeps the viewer entertained. ![]() Brain on Fire can definitely cater to professionals, especially in the Psychology field, because it follows the rare case of a fairly new neurological disorder that is not a lot of people know about. ![]() This movie can be catered to a wide array of audiences. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The concept of dharma, or proper conduct, and the rigid caste system deeply affect Tamar's actions. Set within the action are small gems of poetry and folktales. The author's flexible style moves smoothly from comedy to tragedy and back again from battle scenes to ridiculous situations, Alexander never loses the thread. Many adventures and diversions crop up along the way as Tamar gains some surprising companions, including a brave and beautiful milkmaid, a cowardly eagle, and a wiley monkey king who used to be a man. A journey to the stranger's distant kingdom seems his only chance to discover the truth. A losing game of chance with a mysterious stranger seems like a dream to young King Tamar, but the iron ring on his finger is a very real token that his life may be forfeit. ![]() Driven by his sense of "dharma," or honor, young King Tamar sets off on a perilous journey, with a significance greater than he can imagine, during which he meets talking animals, villainous and noble kings, demons, and the love of his life.Īlexander's latest epic adventure is rooted in the mythology of ancient India. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Foreword by American Horror Story: Hotel star Matt Bomer.Including archive material from Corey Haim, Brooke McCarter, Edward Herrmann and Jeffrey Boam.

From writer and director, Paul Davis, producer Gary Smart and Cult Screenings Ltd/Dead Mouse Productions, comes this much-anticipated follow-up to BEWARE THE MOON - THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. ![]() ![]() ![]() Carver writes with meticulous economy, suddenly bringing a life into focus in a similar way to the paintings of Edward Hopper. ![]() Set in trailer parks and shopping malls, they are stories of banal lives that turn on a seemingly insignificant detail. Rejecting the more experimental fiction of the 60s and 70s, he pioneered a precisionist realism reinventing the American short story during the eighties, heading the line of so-called 'dirty realists' or 'K-mart realists'. He saw this opportunity as a turning point. Constantly struggling to support his wife and family, Carver enrolled in a writing programme under author John Gardner in 1958. He married at 19, started a series of menial jobs and his own career of 'full-time drinking as a serious pursuit', a career that would eventually kill him. Carver was born into a poverty-stricken family at the tail-end of the Depression. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Genao leads the cast in the title role, alongside Carolee Carmello as Stepmother, Grace McLean as Queen, Jordan Dobson as Prince Sebastian, Sami Gayle as Adele, Morgan Higgins as Marie, Christina Acosta Robinson as Godmother, Cameron Loyal as Prince Charming, and Savy Jackson as Cinderella at certain performances.

I found the wisdom of his heart and to write poetry leave you naked to the heart of your being. So read this book, it is worth the money and his poetry books are written in such a way that he speaks to the common man, not the high and mighty, hottie tottie type people. He is the kind of Movie Star that is kind and knows his fans had given him the life he has now. He would speak to you and really see you, listen to you. He was nice enough to meet and greet his fans at conventions and sign something for them. He is a perfectionist, he is a good man I will always admire him.
