![]() ![]() Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 color plates, Interaction of Color first appeared in paperback in 1971, featuring ten color studies chosen by Albers, and has remained in print ever since. Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students, this influential book presents Albers’s singular explanation of complex color theory principles. Josef Albers’s classic Interaction of Color is a masterwork in art education. An essential piece of visual literacy.“-Maria Popova, Brain Pickings “Interaction of Color with its illuminating visual exercises and mind-bending optical illusions, remains an indispensable blueprint to the art of seeing. ![]() ![]() ““One of the most important books on color ever written.”-Michael Hession, Gizmodo ![]() ![]() ![]() In The Age of Innocence the missed chances and the sadness of unrequited love are played out in such a lush setting you find yourself wanting to live their lives. Like Jane Austen she described each scene as if it were photographed and her characters were so real you wanted to go and put an arm around the poor woman in The House of Mirth. I had to read Edith Wharton for a graduate college course and again I became fascinated by her attention to detail. The story was so compelling and although I had difficulty with some of the situations, I wanted her to end up with the dashing hero. ![]() When I first read Emma I was unable to stop reading and though my teacher had only a few chapters assigned for us to read I found myself reading beyond them to the end of the book. She brought you into everything and you felt like you were part of each scene. What I like about Jane Austin’s writing is the way she was able to tell a story, yet she described her scenes in such a way you felt you were there. Yet both had very independent heroines who went against the established norms for society at their respective times. Both of them had feminine main characters and showed how a woman’s life was dependent upon her getting married. Jane Austen and Edith Wharton both wrote about every day life during their respective time periods. ![]() ![]() The two women writers who have influenced me wrote in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. ![]() ![]() How did your experiences as a journalist inform this novel, or shape some of the decisions that you made in terms of writing it in a future time period versus the present moment, or even the past? Zaina Arafat: You spent ten years writing for The Globe and Mail. I spoke with El Akkad about translating reality into fiction, “dystopian” narratives, and localizing the “exotic.” As a staff writer for Canada’s Globe and Mail, Akkad’s coverage of events in Afghanistan, Guantánamo, and Ferguson provide an incredibly effective and accurate underpinning and trajectory to the fictional events in this novel. Sarat is six-years-old when the war begins, and adopts increasingly radical ideological beliefs and actions as it progresses.Īs our own present-day political reality devolves, this imagined future starts to seem eerily plausible (the narrative also imagines foreign meddling that escalates the conflict in the United States, along with a resurgence of coal mining). At the center of the narrative is the Chestnut family from Louisiana, and their daughter, Sarat Chestnut. ![]() The war, which is recounted to us in the early 22nd century by one of its survivors, is characterized by drones, torture, refugees, extremism-in short, phenomena that we tend to locate elsewhere. ![]() In his debut novel American War, Canadian Egyptian writer Omar El Akkad imagines a not-so-distant future in which a second civil war-over a ban of fossil fuels imposed after climate change has led to massive flooding in the Southern states-has divided America into North and South. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maurice’s problems are many and increasing: How to deal with his own declining health? How to reach out to a teenage daughter who watches TV all the time? How to get his best friend’s wife in the sack? How to find another drink? (And another.) And then there is always death. The Green Man opens as Maurice’s father drops dead (had he seen something in the room?) and continues as friends and family convene for the funeral. It’s a pretty arresting thought.” He also happens to own and run a country inn that is haunted. As he says, “I honestly can’t see why everybody who isn’t a child, everybody who’s theoretically old enough to have understood what death means, doesn’t spend all his time thinking about it. Maurice Allington has reached middle age and is haunted by death. ![]() The owner of a haunted country inn contends with death, fatherhood, romantic woes, and alcoholism in this humorous and “rattling good ghost story” from a Booker Prize–winning author ( The New York Times ) ![]() ![]() ![]() But when violence strikes the town, Tate must reveal a dark secret to Lauren-one that may put an end to their sweet dreams. Before long, the desire burning between them is heating up the cold mountain air. Yet there’s more to Lauren than meets the eye, and Tate soon sets his mind on claiming her as his own. When the rough-around-the-edges Tate meets the high-class Lauren, he thinks she won’t fit in at Bubba’s. Too bad for Lauren he’s also the bar’s part owner and bartender. But when he insults her, Lauren doesn’t want anything to do with him. Lauren has never seen a man with such good looks, muscles, and attitude. After leaving her cheating husband, Lauren moves to Carnal, Colorado, and gets a job as a waitress in a biker bar called Bubba’s. Lauren Grahame is looking to reinvent herself.

Brief Summary of Book: Sweet Dreams (Colorado Mountain, #2) by Kristen Ashley ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even when the characters are in the direst of situations, they are making jokes and screwing around. ![]() *** Full disclaimer this book DOES NOT take itself seriously. Even if you removed every ounce of humor this series is still one I would want to read. But this book is more than funny, its genuinely enjoyable in a way that only a good book can be. Even my fiancé was asking “what’s the matter with you?” when I listened to it at home. I may or may not have gotten quite a few looks for acting like a complete lunatic in public. I cannot count how many times this book had me in a fit of giggles. TJ Klue, how on earth do you come up with this stuff? Seriously, your mind must be so bloody interesting. Needless to say, I would absolutely recommend Micheal Lesley’s narration to any and everyone! Now for the story. Even if I had a thousand takes there is no way I could manage it. Not to mention the fact that his ability to say half of the things that come out of these characters mouths without so much as hint of a laugh has got to be worthy of an award in and of itself. ![]() He is the perfect example of what a great narrator can do. He expertly brings Sam, Gary, Tiggy, Morgan, Ryan and every other character in the book to life. The voices, inflection, and emotions he puts into his work is everything! He IS Sam of Wilds, not to mention the way he seamlessly switches between characters never once wavering. First, and I cannot stress this enough Micheal Lesley is AMAZING! The Lightning-Struck Heart is already so great by itself but Micheal’s narration brings it to the next level. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Matilda the Musical” features original music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and choreography by Ellen Kane. ![]() Phelps, with newcomers Charlie Hodson-Prior, Meesha Garbett, Rei Yamauchi Fulker, Winter Jarrett Glasspool, Andrei Shen, and Ashton Robertson playing Matilda’s pals. Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough portray Matilda’s negligent parents, taking over the respective roles made iconic by Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito, who also directed and produced the 1996 film adaptation starring Mara Wilson in the lead role.įor the 2022 musical reimagining, Sindhu Vee stars as librarian Mrs. The story is based on Dahl’s 1988 novel of the same name. Standing up for what’s right, she’s met with miraculous results. Per the official logline, “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” is an inspirational musical tale of an extraordinary girl who discovers her superpower and summons the remarkable courage, against all odds, to help others change their stories, whilst also taking charge of her own destiny. ![]() ‘Ear for Eye’ Review: This Rebellious and Revolutionary Masterpiece Demands to Be Seen ![]() ![]() Though they are not familiar with each other, and, in some cases, aren’t even aware of each other’s existence, they are all connected through the woman they are told is their mother. Throughout the novel Fallout, the children take turns telling their stories. ![]() In giving the Crank series a new voice through the voices of Kristina’s children, Hopkins introduces us into a whole new realm of reality of this mixed up family. In Fallout, Ellen Hopkins does a wonderful job of characterization, has an amazing skill for telling stories, and continues to tell her (a little bit too) unbelievable tales to her audiences. After all of her terrible adventures with crystal meth, and nameless other drugs, Hopkins leads us past the awful twisting story of Kristina, and takes us into the lives of a few of her children, Autumn, Hunter, and Summer. By focusing on the thoughts and emotions of three of Kristina’s children, Hopkins delves even deeper into the life of this troubled teenager that we have been following for the previous two novels (Crank and Glass). However, this time the author takes a completely different direction with her “beloved” main character. In Ellen Hopkins’ third and final addition to the Crank trilogy, entitled Fallout (published in 2010), Kristina Georgia Snow is somehow still finding trouble. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While that ensures everything at the start is a mystery it also means that this review will end up quite spoilery. Mieville has a wonderfully immersive writing style through which the reader discovers the worlds he creates by page turning experience rather than upfront exposition. I finished Embassytown with many thoughts buzzing through my head and a need to write them down. Avice knows the only hope is for her to speak directly to the alien Hosts. And when this Ambassador speaks, everything changes.Ĭatastrophe looms. But an unimaginable new arrival has come to Embassytown. Only a tiny cadre of unique human Ambassadors can speak Language, and connect the two communities. Here on Arieka, Humans are not the only intelligent life, and Avice has a rare bond with the natives, the enigmatic Hosts – who cannot lie. Embassytown: a city of contradictions on the outskirts of the universe.Īvice is an immerser, a traveller on the immer, the sea of space and time below the everyday, now returned to her birth planet. ![]() |
