The writing sometimes struggles at times, but other times it was very beautiful. The ratio of male to female characters in this book is vastly improved over the last book which I appreciated. Also Ghost was clearly described as black and this had no baring on her life, she was just another person, which is fantastic. I did like the new cast of characters, which was interesting and unique with their own voice. Thus this book is more of a companion book then a sequel. In the second book it seemed as though the world lived on like the big things that happened in the previous book did not happen. I would have liked to have learned more about those consequences and the ramifications. However, this book – a sequel to the previous book – ignored important world consequences that would have happened as a result of the previous book. On one hand this is a good thing as it didn’t follow the typical trend of a series. I thought I had an idea about where this book was going to go, yet it didn’t go there. I really loved the first book in this trilogy – in fact Epic is currently my top new read of the year thus far – so I wanted to read more. However, progress in life and a read book! I was doing so well with my challenge, then life happened. Well this is the first book I have managed to finish in about 2-3 months. As his condition worsened, Garfield received help: Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, worked around the clock to invent a new device capable of finding the bullet. A team of physicians administered shockingly archaic treatments, to disastrous effect. The unhinged assassin’s half-delivered strike shattered the fragile national mood of a country so recently fractured by civil war, and left the wounded president as the object of a bitter behind-the-scenes struggle for power-over his administration, over the nation’s future, and, hauntingly, over his medical care. The drama of what happened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in turmoil. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back.īut the shot didn’t kill Garfield. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Rhodes’ book is an intimate look inside the Obama White House. “And I felt like offering an honest and open portrayal of how the presidency used to work would be of value in a world where the presidency - under Trump - operates so differently.” Rhodes served in speechwriting, communications and national security adviser roles during Obama’s eight years in office. I felt like if I could focus on my personal experience and transformation in the job, I could give a reader a sense of what it’s like to work in the White House,” he said. “I realized that I had a unique entry point for a political memoir, because I was a relatively anonymous 29-year-old when I went to work for Obama. It was not until after the presidential transition did Rhodes think to work on his memoir. Photo by Pete Souzaĭespite double majoring in English and political science, and then earning an MFA in creative writing from NYU prior to working in politics, Rhodes never cared much for the political memoir genre and had no immediate plans to write his own. President Barack Obama watches Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes edit a speech on Air Force One, December 2013. His range of publication was exceptional: he was a master of the large canvas – The Secularisation of the European Mind in the Nineteenth Century (1976) or The Popes and European Revolution (1981) of the full-scale biography, such as those of Hensley Henson (1983), the stormy petrel of church politics, and of Michael Ramsey (1990) and of the cameo, as in Victorian Miniature (1960), his study of the fraught relationship between a 19th-century squire and parson, drawing on the papers of each, or as in Mackenzie’s Grave (1959), his wonderful story of the bishop sent to lead a mission up the Zambesi and whose disappearance brought out the best and the worst in Victorian Christianity and public life. He held two Cambridge University chairs over a period of 25 years, was its vice-chancellor during the student unrest of the late 1960s, chaired a commission that transformed the structures of the Church of England and declined major bishoprics. The religious historian Owen Chadwick, who has died aged 99, was one of the most remarkable men of letters of the 20th century. Scott Paulsen is originally from Chester, West Virgina and was formerly a dishwasher at Waterford Inn just like one of the main characters Jay Mastro. This book is both funny and touching at the same time, but I do wonder how much of it is actually fiction and how much is based on the author’s real life. The old town folk spend their summer worrying about their small town being invade by….you guessed it…dirty hippies, while the younger residents look forward to seeing their favorite bands when they come to town. The problems arise when they schedule a large rock music festival with four bands that summer. He’s also the author of a daily column about LPs which you can find by checking him out on Facebook.ĭirty Hippies is a fictional story set in Chester, West Virginia in 1974 and is built around the premise that a large entertainment company that owns the local horse track has built an amphitheater in their little town. Author Scott Paulsen has spent most of his working life as a radio personality in the Pittsburgh, PA area, but he’s also written several books which I can’t seem to find online. Dirty Hippies by Scott Paulsen was recommended to me by a friend and former colleague of the author Dennis Benson. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. In this celebrated memoir and exploration of identity, cancer transforms the author's face, childhood, and the rest of her life.Īt age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. A lot of them have gotten their wealth and prestige from what they did in the past.”Ī post shared by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé photo posted by on "It's kind of interesting how they're all hiding basically what you've been doing. “I think a lot of these institutions, whether it's university or a high school, they often are prestige because they have a history that is rooted in a kind of subjugation of Black people," she says. I ask her almost immediately what she thought the relationship was between anti-Blackness and so-called prestigious institutions. It is not simply a cautionary tale of institutionalized racism but actually, a visceral depiction of the acute danger that people of color in white spaces find to be the norm. Her book, like many others that have been published in the last few years, places the subject of racial relations in the horror genre. She’s living back home in London, doing virtual learning for her final year at university-the place that ended up being an unexpected catalyst for her creativity in writing Ace of Spades. Faridah and I connect-like so many people do now-over Zoom (complete with technical difficulties) at night her time because she’s a night owl. Over the years, it evolved to approximately 50 pages. My first version of the libretto was very short, perhaps 10 pages. The challenge, however, was irresistible, as well as the opportunity to work with so gifted and versatile a composer. When the distinguished American composer John Duffy first contacted me, inviting me to collaborate with him on an opera based upon my novel Black Water (1992), to be commissioned by the American Music Theater Festival, I felt daunted by the prospect of writing a libretto though I've written numerous plays and books of poetry, had never so much as read an opera libretto the genre was entirely new to me.
