Then, one day, a werewolf named Sean Evans moves into the subdivision near the Inn. Her one permanent tenant is a nice elderly lady who at the height of her career would order planetary genocide for breakfast and then would feast on the bodies of the fallen enemies for dinner. Dina's Inn, Gertrude Hunt sits on a corner of a suburban subdivision somewhere in the middle of Texas. When their powers combine, they are a force to be reckoned with. The kind of inn she keeps is a way station used by travelers from other planets who visit Earth.

And if you do, for god’s sake stop.) And yet, David’s work paved the way for everything from Peter Milligan and Mike Allred’s fantastically subversive X-Force/X-Statix series to Jonathan Hickman’s HoX/PoX. X-Statix, the media-ready successor to David’s X-Factorīy rights, this should be the least impactful X-Book since The X-Terminators (no one remembers that book. In fact, David would quit the series two times in three decades with one of them being over event books. These collected issues also existed near the very height of the speculator boom, and yet it doesn’t fall in line much with the Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza, and Ann Nocenti money train. Yet X-Factor adds nothing to the Dark Era or its complexities. It debuted the same year as Deadpool and Weapon-X and within months of Lobo, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Shade the Changing Man getting solo titles. This omnibus is focused right at the 90s era mutant craze while being published right alongside the books it was subtly commenting on. Where Claremont and Davis’ Excalibur is something of a superhero and fantasy farce, David’s X-Force is a satire of the X-Books themselves. Peter David’s work on X-Force is one of those rare books where it’s easier to explain the plot than it is why the book exists in the first place. As Miri searches for answers, desperate to understand what happened below the water, she must face the possibility that the woman she loves is slipping from her grasp. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded, Leah has carried part of it with her, onto dry land and into their home. Barely eating and lost in her thoughts, Leah rotates between rooms in their apartment, running the taps morning and night. When she finally surfaces and returns home, her wife Miri knows that something is wrong. A marine biologist, she left for a routine expedition months earlier, only this time her submarine sank to the sea floor. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (NPR, The Washington Post, Lit Hub, The Telegraph, Goodreads, Tor.com, them, and more) “A deeply strange and haunting novel in the best possible way…An impressive and exciting debut novel that may leave you thinking about your own relationships in a new light.” -NPR “Shocking…Achingly poetic…Sharp and beautiful as coral polyps…Armfield exercises an exquisite-even sadistic-sense of suspense." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post Leah is changed.

The Siege of Delhi was the Raj’s one of the most horrific events in the history of Empire, in which thousands on both sides died. Then, in 1857, Zafar gave his blessing to a rebellion among the Company’s own Indian troops, thereby transforming an army mutiny into the largest uprising any empire had to face in the entire course of the nineteenth century. Deprived of real political power by the East India Company, he nevertheless succeeded in creating a court of great brilliance, and presided over one of the great cultural renaissances of Indian history. But while his Mughal ancestors had controlled most of India, the aged Zafar was king in name only. As the British Commissioner in charge insisted, “No vestige will remain to distinguish where the last of the Great Moghuls rests.”īahadur Shah Zafar II, the last Mughal Emperor, was a mystic, an accomplished poet and a skilled calligrapher. On a hazy November afternoon in Rangoon, 1862, a shrouded corpse was escorted by a small group of British soldiers to an anonymous grave in a prison enclosure. Among English-language readers, his best-known works include two poetry collections: Duino Elegies ( Duineser Elegien) and Sonnets to Orpheus ( Die Sonette an Orpheus), a semi-autobiographical novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge ( Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge), and a collection of ten letters published posthumously Letters to a Young Poet ( Briefe an einen jungen Dichter). While Rilke is best known for his contributions to German literature, he also wrote in French. Rilke traveled extensively throughout Europe, finally settling in Switzerland, the inspiration for many of his poems. His writings include one novel, several collections of poetry and several volumes of correspondence. His work is viewed by critics and scholars as possessing undertones of mysticism, exploring themes of subjective experience and disbelief. Acclaimed as an idiosyncratic and expressive poet, he is widely recognized as a significant writer in the German language. René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke (4 December 1875 – 29 December 1926), shortened to Rainer Maria Rilke ( German: ), was an Austrian poet and novelist. Xiaolong rolled her eyes, though she had a smile on her face that lended affection. She suddenly emerged head upright, with her paw aloft, waving a beige DVD back and forth triumphantly. With that, Cuddle promptly turned around, with her little brown tail sticking straight up into the air as she rummaged around in her collection, throwing knick knacks this way and that behind her, as if emptying Mary Poppins’ bag. It’s reminding me of one of my favorite movies a little, you know, Pride and Prejudice! ‘ When they arrived, Cuddle said, “I am reading the greatest book. “Maybe it’s that delicious soup again! Remember when she made that? Mmm…” replied Amina. “I wonder what Cuddle has in store for us today,” wondered Xiaolong. “Hey, friends!” Cuddle excitedly waved Xiaolong and Amina over to her reading rock, and they ambled over. Intertwining public and private events, Montefiore sweeps through the horrors of collectivisation, famine, World War II, purges and show trials. Co-ordinating these rich sources with material in newly opened state, military and defence archives, Montefiore is able to present an intimate picture of Stalin and his courtiers, monsters with whom intimacy was often a passport to death. Simon Sebag Montefiore spent seven years hunting and interviewing the children who played in the Kremlin courtyards, reading letters and diaries held fearfully in family archives, talking to the grandchildren of Politburo members, tortured generals and Gulag survivors. By the time Nadya crosses the lane to the flat in the Poteshny Palace and picks up a lady's Mauser pistol, the reader is entrapped, just like Stalin's victims, like Nadya's sister, like her sister-in-law. Such detail instantly draws the reader into the circle of violent criminals who ruled the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953. The author describes the dress she wore, the scarlet tea rose in her black hair and how she and Stalin quarrelled. Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar opens with a dinner party in the Kremlin on November 8, 1932, prelude to the suicide of Joseph Stalin's young wife, Nadya. Strange to read a book in which there is not a single hero. Stalin The Court of the Red Tsar By Simon Sebag Montefiore Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 693pp, $65 Australia is a recent Librarian acquisition, and Hawaii is an outlying island of the continent of Mokia, also recently conquered.Īlcatraz - as a Smedry - has a Talent. Despite what they teach, most of the world is not ocean-those "empty spaces" on the map are actually the Free Kingdoms, which the Librarians keep hidden from the Hushlands. One-quarter of the world is actually controlled by a cult of evil Librarians, who rewrite history in their conquered lands to remove things like strange powers, magical glass, and talking dinosaurs. You see, the world is much larger and stranger than we've been led to believe. The next day, Alcatraz's grandfather arrives (late, as usual) to take him on an adventure to recover the sands from his evil Librarian caseworker Ms. On his 13th birthday, he receives a letter from his parents, bequeathing his inheritance to him: a bag of sand. one time he picked up a chicken, only for it to lose all its feathers and only eat cat food from then on. It's nothing intentional, it's just that things he touches have a tendency to fall apart. Alcatraz Smedry is an orphan who has been passed around the foster care system for his thirteen years of life due to his habit of breaking anything he touches. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. And on all that is unknown, all that we discover as we muddle through life: How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. On breakfast: Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime. He just doesn’t accept the lap hypothesis. So what is ‘escapism’ an accusation of? On her new cat: He still won’t sit on a lap…I don’t know if he ever will. On cultural perceptions of fantasy: The direction of escape is toward freedom. On the absurdity of denying your age, she says, If I’m ninety and believe I’m forty-five, I’m headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub. No Time to Spare collects the best of Ursula’s blog, presenting perfectly crystallized dispatches on what matters to her now, her concerns with this world, and her wonder at it. Now she’s in the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where her voice-sharp, witty, as compassionate as it is critical-shines. Le Guin has taken readers to imaginary worlds for decades. Le Guin, and with an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, a collection of thoughts-always adroit, often acerbic-on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. |
