When I happened to return in 1989 to the building that had been Dr Morgan’s assembly hall, the stage was set for that year’s school play, Dracula. I had the Aurora glow-in-the-dark hobby kit (‘Frightning Lightning Strikes!’) of Lugosi as the Count, and began to collect other novels (far fewer then than there are now) which sequelised, imitated, parodied or ripped off the character. Shortly afterwards, I read (and reread) Bram Stoker’s novel, and went out of my way to catch as many Dracula movies as possible. Mercifully, this juvenilia has been lost. I think my parents expected the craze to wear off, but obviously it never did.Īmong my first attempts at writing was a one-page play, based on the Lugosi film, which I wrote, starred in, and directed in drama class at Dr Morgan’s Grammar School in Autumn, 1970. I was captivated by Dracula, and became an obsessive in the way only an eleven-year-old can be obsessive. I can’t overestimate the effect this has had on the subsequent course of my life, since the film was the spark which lit the flames of my interests in horror and in cinema. When I was eleven years old, my parents let me stay up past my bed-time to watch the 1930 Tod Browning version of Dracula, with Bela Lugosi, on television.

Roma is still reeling from Marshall’s death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. If Juliette were actually guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection might sting less. The only way to save the boy she loves from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for murdering his best friend in cold blood. One wrong move, and her cousin will step in to usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang’s heir. The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution.Īfter sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on the warpath. Shanghai is under siege in this captivating and searingly romantic sequel to These Violent Delights, which New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan calls “deliciously dark.” On one level, “Unorthodox” works within the same expanded universe of religious rebellion explored in recent cinema, from the lesbian drama “Disobedience” to the bittersweet Williamsburg-set father-son drama “Menashe” - which, like “Unorthodox,” largely unfolds in Yiddish. However, the four-part limited series adapted from Feldman’s book, also called “Unorthodox,” gives this dilemma a fresh spin. While the particular circumstances surrounding Feldman’s flight hold unique power, Feldman’s story belongs to an emerging tradition of tales surrounding the oppressive nature of ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, and the people who struggle with the impulse to move on. Raised in the Hasidic Satmar sect of Williamsburg, Feldman escaped an arranged marriage at the age of 19, while pregnant with her first child, and resettled in Germany. Deborah Feldman’s 2012 memoir “ Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots” charts a familiar path of resistance.

By asking these questions, Schwalbe fosters discussion about books, not just as an art form, but also as a way of living, and navigating this distracting, violent, and noisy world. He wonders why we read, what reading offers us, and how reading particular books can give us insight into large questions that many of us share. Over the course of Books for Living, Schwalbe considers a number of existential questions about life, literature, and the intersections of the two. Many of these books lead to stories about people, moments, or circumstances in his life, shaping each chapter into a mini-memoir that comes together to give a larger view of the role that literature has played in Schwalbe's life. In each chapter in this non-fiction book, he writes about a single book, in a wide variety of genres, that changed the way he thinks about the world, or which imparted a life lesson. Books for Living is a book by Will Schwalbe about the many books that shaped his life and his understanding of the world.

There was so much action squeezed into the book that the pacing and character development that I enjoyed so much in the previous books was pretty much missing. If Briggs attempted to show the affects of this (incredibly common) type of racism it did not come through, it just felt like a gross "racists can be good guys too" sort of moral. Afterwards it is explained to Mercy that the officer is really a great guy with trauma cases and will hopefully be promoted out of the field soon. He reacts badly to Mercy's skin color and she backs him down, she is protected by her status in the community. The officer openly harrases the Hispanic community to the point were they are reluctant to call for help.

I currently caught up with the series to get ready for this one and I started to notice some issues. This brief annoy (I say brief, inasmuch as it is contained in few pages) is straightway succeeded by the pleasance and delight which I have already promised you and which, belike, were it not foresaid, might not be looked for from such a beginning. Let this grisly beginning be none other to you than is to wayfarers a rugged and steep mountain, beyond which is situate a most fair and delightful plain, which latter cometh so much the pleasanter to them as the greater was the hardship of the ascent and the descent for, like as dolour occupieth the extreme of gladness, even so are miseries determined by imminent joyance. But I would not therefore have this affright you from reading further, as if in the reading you were still to fare among sighs and tears. Here Beginneth the First Day of the DecameronĪs often, most gracious ladies, as, taking thought in myself, I mind me how very pitiful you are all by nature, so often do I recognize that this present work will, to your thinking, have a grievous and a weariful beginning, inasmuch as the dolorous remembrance of the late pestiferous mortality, which it beareth on its forefront, is universally irksome to all who saw or otherwise knew it. |
