The Diamond Eye Video Recording with Kate Quinn It is up to Death’s granddaughter Susan to unravel the mystery before the world itself unravels. People are turning up dead by falling right out of the sky. Death himself is dressing up as the Hogfather and delivering presents. Synopsis: In the fanciful Discworld, Hogswatch is in full swing and children wait for the Hogfather to visit them and leave presents in their stockings. I loved the miniseries, and have watched it multiple times since its release.īasically, I have no excuse for why it took me so long to read this book, but I finally did! In 2006, there was a miniseries called Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather, starring Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey), Marc Warren, David Jason, and other fabulous British actors. This is the fourth book I have read by Terry Pratchett, and probably the one I am most familiar with. Translated by a Russian actor and director, this dramatic translation is deeply rooted in insights from his ongoing work on his own theatrical production as director and on the character of Trigorin as actor. And-did we forget?-everyone is looking for love . . . There is “little action” in the play, just the characters living their lives: some suffer from the creative process, some search for fame, some desperately try to live, some constantly attempt to end their life-all while new art forms are struggling to coexist with the old. The situation becomes less comedic for a little while when two of these characters fall in love with each other, but “the circumstances have unexpectedly made it so that” this arcadia does not last too long. “Many conversations about literature, little action, five poods of love.” That is how Anton Chekhov described his comedy, in which Medvedenko loves Masha, Masha loves Treplev, Treplev loves Nina, and Nina loves Trigorin, all while Shamrayev loves Polina Andreyevna, Polina Andreyevna loves Dorn, Dorn loves Arkadina, and Arkadina loves Trigorin.

The last thing she wants is a return to her past, but how can she leave him to die?Īs a lethal new enemy of the vampires shows its face, and the Brotherhood needs Assail back on his feet, Sola finds herself not only a target, but a mission-critical force in a war she doesn’t understand. When Assail falls into a coma and lingers on the verge of death, his cousins seek out Sola and beg her to give him a reason to live. But they have no future, and not just because she doesn’t know he is a vampire, but because he is not about to stop dealing arms to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Her heart, though, is back up north, with the only man who has ever gotten through her defenses: Assail, son of Assail, who never meant to fall in love-and certainly not with a human woman. On the run from a drug lord’s family, she is lying low far from Caldwell, keeping her nose clean and her beloved grandmother safe. Sola Morte, former cat burglar and safecracker, has given up her old life on the wrong side of the law. New enemies rise and desire burns in the latest thrilling novel of the paranormal romance series the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Rothschild deftly spins an elaborate web of intrigue involving a raft of sharply drawn secondary characters, including Annie’s alcoholic mother and an aging bon vivant who helps rich people spend their money. Memling, an Auschwitz survivor with an uncanny knack for bringing high-quality paintings of vague provenance to market, is not what he seems and has a very pressing reason for retrieving the painting now in Annie’s possession. Jesse, a young painter she meets in a museum, sees genius in this portrait of a man hopelessly gazing at an adored woman, but Annie’s more interested in making a good impression at her new gig as chef for icy Rebecca Winkleman and her father, Memling, proprietors of a powerful art dealership. Annie buys the painting on a whim in a junk shop, never dreaming that it’s anything important. To show how it got there, Rothschild rolls back the action six months to introduce her engagingly disheveled heroine, Annie, a shellshocked refugee from a failed long-term relationship struggling to find her professional and emotional footing in London. Readers know the painting’s creator and name from the prologue, which opens on the day of The Improbability of Love’s highly publicized auction. Following her biography of a jazz-loving great aunt ( The Baroness, 2013), Rothschild shifts gears to imagine art-world shenanigans prompted by a long-lost Watteau painting in her first novel. The flaps are large and sturdy, and enough of the animals’ characteristic features are visible under and around the costumes that little ones will be able to make successful guesses even on the first reading. Not to be left out, Little Blue has a costume, too. ‘It’s me! It’s me!’ ” The sheep is disguised as a clown, the cow’s a queen, the pig’s a witch, the hen and her chick are pirates, and the horse is a dragon. “Who’s that in a tutu / striking a pose / up on the tiniest / tips of her toes? / Under the mask / who do you see?” Lifting the flap unmasks a friend: “ ‘Quack!’ says the duck. ‘It’s Halloween!’ / You come, too.” As they drive, they are surprised (and joined) by many of their friends in costume. Little Blue Truck and his buddy Toad are off to a party, and they invite readers (and a black cat) along for the ride: “ ‘Beep! Beep! Beep!’ / says Little Blue. A lift-the-flap book gives the littlest trick-or-treaters some practice identifying partygoers under their costumes. Finley offers provocative new insights into the works of Amiri Baraka, Romare Bearden, Betye Saar, and many others. Finley traces how the slave ship icon became a powerful tool in the hands of British and American abolitionists, and how its radical potential was rediscovered in the twentieth century by Black artists, activists, writers, filmmakers, and curators. Committed to Memory provides the first in-depth look at how this artifact of the fight against slavery became an enduring symbol of Black resistance, identity, and remembrance. Printed as handbills and broadsides, the image Cheryl Finley has termed the "slave ship icon" was easily reproduced, and by the end of the eighteenth century it was circulating by the tens of thousands around the Atlantic rim. First published by British abolitionists in 1788, it exposed this widespread commercial practice for what it really was-shocking, immoral, barbaric, unimaginable. How an eighteenth-century engraving of a slave ship became a cultural icon of Black resistance, identity, and remembrance One of the most iconic images of slavery is a schematic wood engraving depicting the human cargo hold of a slave ship. It all works thanks to the author’s keen appreciation of storytelling’s role in shaping cultures, dreams, and lives. With poetic use of startling imagery and unabashed nostalgia, Higuera spins a tale that crosses the depths of space, interweaving Mexican folklore with a mystical strand of science fiction. As she shares cuentos with other child passengers to stir their Earth memories, Petra concocts a plan to escape, seeking a rumored Collective-free colony of First Arrivers on Sagan. To survive the Collective’s fanaticism, Petra must play her part and participate in scouting missions on Sagan to help the Collective prepare for colonization. Along the way to Sagan, the Collective has ensured the eradication of any Earth-associated memories, reprogramming everyone onboard-and purging some-for the so-called greater good. Petra awakens years later to find that the ominous Collective has taken over her ship. One ship-reserved for leaders and politicians-is lost. Tearing herself away from her grandma and her cuentos, or stories, Petra Peña follows her family aboard one of three fleeing spaceships. Only a select few have the opportunity to vacate Earth in the year 2061, travel for 380 years in stasis, and start a new life on the planet of Sagan. With Halley’s comet barreling toward Earth, humanity’s last hope-including a young Latinx storyteller-retreats into the stars. The world is quite fucked up right now and while it's completely possible for us, all of us, to change things to mitigate the situations there is little cause to believe that will actually happen. And the final sequence of the Saturn V leaving the launch pad in slow motion coupled with the beautiful, haunting score to it blew me away in the moment and I can still recall its impact now. Since then many of those images have come to mind at various times. The epic sweep of the imagery and music gripped me and held my attention throughout. Well, Beethoven at least, so the concept of a long form piece was engaging. I was a prog rock fan with an appreciation for classical music. Much like the author I was floored by the music. But I recall starting to 'get' the symbolism and the narrative the images convey. The lack of 'anything happening' lasted a few minutes. I recall it as a pivotal moment of my 22 year old life. I was there because Godfrey Reggio came into the sandwich shop I was a partner in and because I was friends of friends of some of the guys on the camera crews shooting footage in the Southwest and working with Alton. I was living in Santa Fe in the '70s and was at that first screening, it was the world premier, at the Lensic Theater. The article is a moving tribute to the power of Reggio's vision and the brilliance of Glass' score. |
