Schoolmates taunted him, and even the acclaim he earned as a teenage prodigy-“the boy wonder of mini-comics”-was short-lived, crushed by a backlash review that dismissed him as a derivative “moron.” The rites of passage that seemed like markers of success-Comic-Con, book signings, tours, awards ceremonies-generally left Tomine feeling deflated and resentful. Early on in the narrative, the author is something like a younger Rodney Dangerfield, frustrated by a lack of respect. In his latest book, Tomine, who has been successful by nearly any measure-his oeuvre includes many minicomics and books and several New Yorker covers-delivers an understated yet illuminating graphic memoir full of insights on the creative process and the struggles of defining “success” in the world of comics and graphic novels. A lifelong obsession with comics results in less reward than the author and illustrator might once have thought possible. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Watership down by richard adamsOne of my favorite things about the novel was Adams’ use of epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter. And the reason is that the story is compelling and well-written and so real that you can smell the grass on Watership Down and feel the heat of the summer sun. I don’t want to give anything away, because I really believe that everybody should, at some point in their lives, read this book. Their adventure is fraught with peril and risk, but ingenuity and courage and just plain luck carry them through. Watership Down is the tale of Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig, and other young buck rabbits who leave their home to establish their own warren. On the other hand, it’s pretty amazing to discover what would have been a childhood favorite as an adult, and be able to embrace it as a new favorite that can stand proudly next to older favorites on your bookshelf. So I never picked up this book until this month ( October of 2017), for a bookclub I recently joined. Obviously, that was a huge turn off for me. The people who raved about the book then were generally hipster guys, beating everyone else over the head with their favorite novel. So how on earth did I miss Watership Down while I was in school? Did our library not have a copy? Was its reputation as a “classic” a deterrent to friends who might have told me of its existence? Whatever the case, I had never even heard of Watership Down until the later years of college. I’ve been a huge fantasy reader since around fifth grade. Danger is brewing in Beervaria and suddenly Sloan is on the case. When Mac is arrested, Sloan knows that her ex might be a cheater, but a murderer? No way. Nitro's owner, brewmaster Garrett Strong, has the brew-world abuzz with his newest recipe, "Pucker-Up IPA." This place is the new cool place in town, and Mac can't help but be green with envy at their success.īut just as Sloan is settling in to her new gig, she finds one of Nitro's competitors dead in the fermenting tub, clutching the secret recipe for the IPA. Death on Tap: A Mystery (A Sloan Krause Mystery 1) (Mass Market) By Ellie Alexander. She decides to strike out on her own, breaking away from the Krause family brewery, and goes to work for Nitro, the hip new nano-brewery in the Bavarian-themed town. Ellie Alexander's love for the Pacific Northwest runs deep. When Sloan Krause walks in on her husband, Mac, screwing the barmaid, she gives him the boot. Sloan has spent her life in Leavenworth, Washington becoming an expert in brewing craft beer, and she doesn't have time to be held back by her soon-to-be ex-husband.

His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by the Saturday Evening Post for $900, and propelled him into a career as a writer. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.ĭahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Between two kingdomsAs a high school student, she traveled solo by train to NYC early every Saturday morning, lugging her double-bass from her home in Saratoga to Juilliard's precollege program. In addition to English, she speaks French (her first language), Arabic, Spanish, and Farsi. The daughter of a Tunisian-born French literature professor and a Swiss-born painter, Jaouad is a lifelong over-achiever. She had become a different sort of war correspondent.īetween Two Kingdoms, Jaouad's searching memoir of her illness and its aftermath, takes its title from an observation in Susan Sontag's Illness as Metaphor: "Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick." The line between them, Jaouad discovers, is more porous than most people realize. During her "incanceration"-months in isolation to prevent infections-she documented her grueling treatments, first in a blog, then in a weekly column and videos for The New York Times called "Life, Interrupted," which generated an enormous response. Jaouad started writing about what it's like to face a life-threatening illness at 22. She quickly found herself fighting for her life in New York City cancer wards, where she was given a 35 percent chance of survival. Instead, within months, she was diagnosed with a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia. When Suleika Jaouad graduated from Princeton in 2010, she was considering a career as a war correspondent. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Domesticated richard francisThose foxes were bred to each other, then the tamest of their offspring were bred, and so on. (Not a practice I approve of at all!) A Russian scientist took a small number of farmed foxes and selected the tamest ones among them. For decades, farm-raised foxes have been kept for the purpose of making coats from their fur. More on that later.įirst, Francis starts with possibly the newest domesticated animal: the fox. What emerges is an exciting look at both the creativity and conservatism of evolution. Francis explores the changes and modifications that domestication has made on nature’s original blueprint. Tracing their origins back to their wild ancestors, Richard C. Francisĭomesticated is a scientific examination of the evolution of domesticated mammals.
