His frequent obsession with “brutality” and its manifestation, however, becomes his undoing.īrutal, which is India’s first crowd-sourced and crowd-curated novel, starts with a series of murders which are – yes, brutal. Uday Satpathy, in his debut novel with West Land Publishers and Bloody Good Book, makes a genuine attempt at a fast-paced, intriguing thriller. ![]() What is a good murder mystery? One that comprises a strong plot, well etched-out characters, and a satisfying resolution. Little wonder then, that murder mysteries continue to fascinate readers across ages. Music is murdered every day civil rights are murdered every minute. Criminals run amok after killing hordes of people, often without the strong “vengeance” so advertised by 80’s Hindi cinema. ![]()

The narrator, who is also a pilot, crashes his airplane in an isolated desert and meets a small boy who calls himself The Little Prince. Things like friendship, love and loneliness are a few of the topics that they discuss over the course of the book. The two main characters in the novel, the narrator and the Prince are in constant conversation about the important things in life. ![]() The book has also been made into animated movies, the latest of which came out in 2016. ![]() And it is definitely this youthful way of writing the book that makes the contents of the book all the more emphatic. It talks about real, adult behavioural patterns in a somewhat childish manner. The Little Prince can perhaps be best described as a children’s book for adults. “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Danger Overseas by Carolyn Keene![]() ![]() Edna wrote plot outlines for several of the early books and Harriet, who claimed to be the sole author, had actually outlined and edited nearly all the volumes written by Benson. Harriet and Edna Stratemeyer also contributed to the Nancy Drew series. Afterwards, they rehired Benson and she wrote until her last Nancy Drew book (#30) was written in 1953, Clue of the Velvet Mask. He allowed the Library of Congress to learn of his authorship and his name appeared on their catalog cards. ![]() He was fired from writing more books because of his refusal to honor the request that he keep his work as Carolyn Keene a secret. Karig's Nancy Drew books were Nancy's Mysterious Letter, The Sign of the Twisted Candles, and Password to Larkspur Lane. During the Depression, they asked Benson to take a pay cut and she refused, which is when Karig wrote the books. His daughters, Harriet and Edna, inherited his company and maintained Nancy Drew having Mildred Wirt Benson, the original Carolyn Keene, as the principal ghostwriter. He also had other series, that included the Hardy Boys, but he died in 1930 before the Nancy Drew series became famous.

She's currently writing a book on disability and thinking a lot about the metaphysics of social structures. The availability of Disability Pride doesn’t just affect how we feel about disability, it affects what we can know about disability.Įlizabeth Barnes, University of Virginia, works on metaphysics, social philosophy, and feminist philosophy - and is particularly interested in the areas where these subjects interact. While the benefits of pride movements are generally seen as emotive - they help us feel a sense of solidarity, they help us overcome shame, etc - I argue that pride also plays a crucial epistemic role. This paper is an argument for the philosophical importance of Disability Pride. “Hermeneutical Injustice and Disability Pride” Add to Calendar 15:30:00 17:30:00 Elizabeth Barnes: "Hermeneutical Injustice and Disability Pride" ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments So Into You by Cecilia Gray![]() ![]() ![]() It begins with a fleeting thought, an idea for a title, one of so many “luxurious titles rich with meaning that will never serve any purpose, because the text that should follow them never gets written.” This “small idea” then branches off and takes us somewhere beautiful and unexpected. The story that follows, “The Flawed Concept of Coupledom,” is not actually about coupledom but something deeper and more interesting. Pavón’s stories, the writer César Aira has said, are “high-precision lenses for seeing the daily utopias of reality.” A cofounder of Buenos Aires’s independent art space and publishing press Belleza y Felicidad, Pavón pioneered the use of “unpoetic” and intimate content - her verses often lifted from text messages or chat rooms, her tone often impish, yet brutally sincere. ![]() Poet, writer, and translator Cecilia Pavón emerged in the late 1990s as one of the most prolific and central figures of the young Argentine literary scene.

Slowly Park breaks down Eleanor’s pain of her home life and they learn to trust one another. ![]() It’s hard for me to handle the fact that these two aren’t actually living and breathing somewhere out there. Their relationship was so beautifully written, humorous at times and smile inducing while tugging hard at your heart. ![]() The story of Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell is a realistic paced tale of two high school students, Eleanor and Park, who find everything in one another on a loud school bus. Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell is funny, sad, shocking and true – an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.īook Review: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you’re 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. Quiet, careful and – in Eleanor’s eyes – impossibly cool, Park’s worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn’t stick out more if she tried. ![]() Theme: Gender Expression, the Importance of Identityīook Summary: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow RowellĮleanor is the new girl in town, and she’s never felt more alone.
