![]() ![]() Tim Lucas of VIDEO WATCHDOG called it “groundbreaking,” post-punk icon Lydia Lunch called it “a masterpiece,” and Molly Ringwald said she “devoured this compelling, surprising, and moving book.” In this pioneering work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia, and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and an examination of female madness, both onscreen and off. Kier-La Janisse’s HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN was billed as “an autobiographical topography of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films,” and explored hundreds of films through a daringly personal lens. In 2012, the Fantasia Film Festival hosted the debut of a new book that would go on to canonical status and usher in a new way of writing about film. ![]() ![]() In Hollinghurst’s depiction of Nick’s friendship with Toby and his sister Catherine, and of Nick’s move into their family home, Hollinghurst reproduces what it’s like to be an outsider taken into the home of the wealthy: one is abnormally polite, grateful, sensitive, and entertaining. ![]() Hollinghurst gains the readers trust in two ways: one, by having the main character Nick register reality at various levels and two, by noting the details-Nick notices how an old inherited jacket smells, experiences life as a series of shocks, and has sex fantasies that are extravagant partly because of his virginal state. His novel, The Line of Beauty, is initially a coming of age story about a well-educated young man, Nick, who is befriended by Toby, the son of a British government official during the reign of Margaret Thatcher. ![]() Alan Hollinghurst has talent, and talent for which he has won awards, but his expression of that talent seems limited by the assumptions he has inherited and accepted about the subjects he handles-and also by his consciousness of the effects he wants too desperately to stir in readers.Īlan Hollinghurst pays attention to the said and the unsaid, to physical space, and to some of the effects of social and political power. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have been known to build up a series and work myself into an excited frenzy over a release date, e.g., Divergent, Hunger Games, only to be disappointed and felt as though the author’s final work was rushed. In general, I couldn’t stop talking about Darrow! However, when it came to Morning Star I was terrified that the novel would be utterly underwhelming, thus falling far below the bar I had built up for it, not to mention the number of people I’ve made to read the series. The Red Rising trilogy has skyrocketed to my top 3 or 4 series of all time! I’ve made my book club read the Red Rising and the Golden Son, as well as given copies of the books away as parts of birthday presents or Christmas presents. ![]() ![]() While Moreno Garcia borrows some elements from H.G. The novel is initially set in 1871 and spans six years, placing the characters at the forefront of the uprising and using it as a decisive plot point that makes Moreno Garcia’s historical fiction even more mesmerizing. In Moreno Garcia’s colorful retelling, those same experimental elements are in place, however, the novel is now set against the vivid backdrop of the Yucatán Peninsula and the Caste War of Yucatán (when the Maya people rose up against the Mexican, European-descended, and mixed population) which began in 1847. The Doctor seeks to somehow discover the “extreme limit of plasticity of the living shape” by changing animals into men. The original tells the story of a shipwrecked man who discovers an island inhabited by strange creatures that have been operated on by the enigmatic Doctor Moreau. The follow up to 2021’s Velvet Was the Night, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is a loose retelling of the 1896 science fiction novel The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. An emotional novel dense with both mystery and the unsettling sense that something is slightly off, Garcia instantly captivates you through vivid imagery and characters that tug at your heartstrings from the book’s first few scenes. ![]() Over the 300-ish pages that comprise The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, Silvia Moreno Garcia breaks your heart just to help you put it back together again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The annual Razor Walker Awards, presented by the Watson College of Education, are meant to recognize “those that walk the razor’s edge.” This year’s award ceremony, held on April 25, intended to highlight leaders and organizations who tore down barriers to children’s education and learning, such as poverty, home life and health. If you don’t know what I’m referring to, it’s probably because UNCW does a better job of advertising chemistry experiments than the events that actually matter in this case, our lovely leadership chose to honor Senator Michael Lee, the sponsor of North Carolina’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, with a Razor Walker Award for public policy in education. In a dimly lit Burney Center, fronted with grilled beef tenderloin, piano and perfunctory pleasantries, hearing the yells of indignation through two sets of closed doors, I stood and mourned the integrity of an institution. How else can I describe the feeling of knowing my own university celebrated a bigot? However, to emulate those emotions in writing for you all is a whole different matter.Īnger, disbelief and disappointment.

In the second part of the chapter, the changes in these parties’ internationalism will be further explained in as far as they depended on domestic developments and on the situation of both countries in the East–West conflict.ĢThe analysis looks at the domestic impacts of European détente in France and Italy and identifies the conditions of “domestic détente” in the two cases, or the gradual integration of the communist party into the political system and society. Here, the impact of the conflicts inside the world communist movement on these parties’ general developments is at the centre of attention, and will be dealt with in some detail in the first part of the chapter. ![]() With a few exceptions, the literature dealing with the PCI and PCF in this period has not fully investigated the interactions between these parties’ domestic developments and the complex interplay within the world communist movement. The situation inside the communist world was at this point a highly complex one, and the PCI and PCF took part in the many disputes and positioned themselves with regard to the multiple cleavages. ![]() 1Two major developments in the 1960s dramatically changed the international situation in which the West European communist parties operated: the Sino–Soviet dispute and the coming of European détente. ![]() ![]() ![]() Metro 2034 tells a previously unknown part of the greater Metro saga that some only know from video games.
