The best work of Robert Coover, Don DeLillo, Raymond Federman, Marianne Hauser, Toni Morrison, Thomas Pynchon. Nothing Raymond Federman’s Double or Nothing is a convoluted representation of the mentally-unstable mind existing as a series of six characters that are at once separate and conjoined: the horrors and traumatic events of the narrative past dismantle the unified subject into a series of schizophrenic sub-personalities, parts of the.

He stood there motionless, arms crossed over his chest as if that might at least warm him a little. The rain was falling on him, but he ignored it. Only his face gleamed white as he looked up at Meggie. The rain cast a kind of pallor on the darkness, and the stranger was little more than a shadow. She blew out the match in alarm-oh, how well she remembered it, even many years later-and knelt to look out of the window, which was wet with rain. She had five candlesticks on the windowsill, and she was just holding the lighted match to one of the black wicks when she heard footsteps outside. “Fire devours books,” he always said, but she was twelve years old, she surely could be trusted to keep an eye on a couple of candle flames. Mo had forbidden her to light candles at night. She had a box of matches hidden in the drawer of her bedside table. Meggie thought this first whisper sounded a little different from one book to another, depending on whether or not she already knew the story it was going to tell her. Its pages rustled promisingly when she opened it. That night-when so much began and so many things changed forever-Meggie had one of her favorite books under her pillow, and since the rain wouldn’t let her sleep she sat up, rubbed the drowsiness from her eyes, and took it out. Meggie had never called her father anything else. “But it only works for children.” Which made Mo tweak her nose. “night.” “Sometimes, yes,” Meggie had said.

Her impact is massive.Īhsoka, most likely, would not be the character she is without Ashley Eckstein. When it comes to Ahsoka, measuring impact isn't difficult. And with a pending showdown with Darth Vader in tonight's season finale of Star Wars Rebels, people are worried about her. Her return in Star Wars Rebels, as a fully-grown and powerful Force wielder, was greeted with genuine excitement throughout social media. Over the course of the show, she grew to become, arguably, the most popular new Star Wars character since Darth Maul - with both women and men. She actually left the Jedi Order of her own accord. (Sorry, Rey.) She evolved from an immature teen into a leader. As such, she was the first starring female Jedi of Star Wars. When it comes to Ahsoka Tano, however, impact becomes a far less nebulous concept.Ĭonsider this: Introduced in the 2008 animated movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as the 14-year-old apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka soon became the central figure of the resulting animated series. But when you talk about real heart-and-soul cultural impact - a protagonist that means something to people - it gets harder to define. How can we possibly measure it when it comes to fictional characters? Sure, there are things like merchandise and ticket sales. The voice actor discusses her initial Ahsoka audition, the character's biggest Star Wars Rebels moments (so far), and much more. Commenting about two emails, which were produced as major ‘evidence’ against Sen, totally out of context and selectively, the author observes: “It is hard for me to believe that any reasonable prosecution would actually seek to make a case like this.” He is referring to the fact that, for the prosecution, how the mere mention of the ISI (here, meaning the Indian Social Institute, New Delhi and not the Pakistani Intelligence agency ISI which is the “chimpanzee in the White House”), prove that Binayak and his wife Ilina are part of an International terror network! In this regard, he further observes, “It is harder still for me to believe that any reasonable judge would listen to this and take it seriously.” Towards the end of the book, the author does not forget to ask very simple yet important questions, while commenting on the state of Indian democracy. Caleb is a memorable protagonist who refuses to let his deafness limit his opportunities, or his participation in the investigation. This gripping, original and fast-paced crime thriller is set between a big city and a small coastal town, Resurrection Bay, where Caleb is forced to confront painful memories. Caleb and his troubled friend Frankie, an ex-cop, start with one clue: Scott, the last word the murder victim texted to Caleb. When a childhood friend is murdered, a sense of guilt and a determination to prove his own innocence sends Caleb on a hunt for the killer. This weekly book review post is a way to share some old favourites, books that were published over a year ago and most importantly those books that have been languishing on the to be read pile for far too long!Ĭaleb Zelic, profoundly deaf since early childhood, has always lived on the outside – watching, picking up telltale signs people hide in a smile, a cough, a kiss. Welcome to a weekly post, Throwback Thursday. Thematically, conditions in "high" society furnished many of the plots and characters, and humble life tended to be contemptuously ignored.įrom about 1750 to 1790, literature came to be dominated indirectly by Doctor Samuel Johnson. Reason, indeed, was the prime source of inspiration emotion had to be subordinated to thought. They did not hold with simple tutelage at the hands of nature reason and good sense had to intervene. Their relationship to the natural environment was one of cautious imitation. They wrote and criticized according to what they considered the proper and acceptable rules of taste. By contrast, Shakespeare they found crude. They admired Virgil and Horace for correctness of phrase and polished urbanity and grace. The neo-classically oriented writers of the so-called Augustan Age (1701 to about 1750), Swift, Gay, Addison and Steele, Pope, and to a lesser extent Richardson and Fielding, chose Latin authors of the time of the Pax Romana (hence the name Augustan) as their models. What Burns, Blake, and Cowper, his contemporaries, wanted to do and could not, he did. It has been remarked that he was one of the giants almost single-handedly he revivified English poetry from its threatened death from emotional starvation. By way of understanding and appraisal, it must first be asked what Wordsworth set out to do and then to what degree he succeeded.
