![]() Through a series of linked monologues, a surprising cast of characters explores narratives of resistance—protest art, eco-terrorists, Occupy squatters, pyromaniacal militants—and the extent to which any of these can truly withstand the pragmatic demands of contemporary capitalism. Gleefully toying with the conventions of the novel, Dear Cyborgs weaves together the story of a friendship’s dissolution with a provocative and lively meditation on protest. ![]() Between black-ops missions and rescuing hostages, they swap stories of artistic malaise and muse on the seemingly inescapable grip of market economics. Meanwhile, in an alternative or perhaps future universe, a team of superheroes ponders modern society during their time off. A fractal fable about the possibility and power of protest as told by three superheroes on their lunch breakIn a small Midwestern town, two Asian American boys bond over their outcast status and a mutual love of comic books. ![]() ![]() You’ll be glad you did, as Sara soon learned. And if you ever get harassed on the job, please speak up. And did you know that you laminate Pain au chocolat? There’s much to learn about French baking, to be sure, and you’ll learn along with Sara. I hope you’ll pick up a copy for your own reading enjoyment, as well as several for Christmas gifts as it’s a lovely Christmas story as well. Like how to properly break an egg and how to cream sugar and eggs the right way. ![]() In researching how to make pastries that’ll delight your palate, I discovered way more than I’d ever dreamed. Can Sean learn to trust Sara and can she trust herself to be an instant mother? Though he finds Sara captivating, he despises LaFleur and misreads Sara’s desire to learn from the pastry chef as affection. Sean Graham has trouble keeping Madison out of mischief and his mind off Sara. But Jacque LaFleur, the pastry chef Sara works under, makes her dream job a nightmare. Sara O’Neill works as an assistant pastry chef at the magnificent Thousand Islands Crossmon Hotel where she meets precocious, lovable, seven-year-old Madison and her charming father and hotel manager, Sean Graham. Sara’s Surprise has just released! If you like baking, you’ll love this holiday story: ![]() Mathis as she shares about her new release and offers a delicious recipe for readers. Today I’m happy to welcome author Susan G. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well plotted, with lots of twists and turns and misdirects. It was refreshing seeing Jerry bumble into plans that were already in place, rather than leading the police around by the nose. ![]() ![]() The snarky banter between Joanna and Jerry was amusing, it was easy to tell they were related. The friendship between Jerry and Megan was nice and I liked the drama of Mr Pym (he reminded me a lot of Mr Satterthwaite from the Harley Quin series). I was disappointed not to see Miss Marple until well towards the end, but I liked the other characters enough that it didn't matter too much. Joanna and Jerry were funny and interesting and were good choices to base the narrative around. The fourth Miss Marple mystery, The Moving Finger, introduces brother and sister, Jerry and Joanna Burton who move to the small village of Lymstock and manage to get themselves caught up in a nasty anonymous letter scandal and then right in the center of a murder investigation. ![]() ![]() Indeed, the cold-hearted Scrooge could just as easily be a 21 st century business tycoon as a 19 th-century miser, and Bob Cratchit’s working-class struggle continues to resonate. Langbauer said that the novella’s lasting power and allure also come from how Dickens wrote, not only brilliantly, but also as a cultural filter. “Dickens was trying to capture quintessential questions about human fellowship that we’re still concerned with now.” “It’s persisted because it’s just such a good story by an excellent writer,” Langbauer said. She sees many reasons why “A Christmas Carol” is so malleable and has remained so appealing across decades. Langbauer, a professor of English and comparative literature, gets students to cast fresh eyes on Dickens’ most famous work. But people know it best from movies and plays and can learn more by reading the original slim novella, “A Christmas Carol in Prose: Being a Ghost Story of Christmas.”Īt least, that’s what Laurie Langbauer finds when she teaches The British Novel course at Carolina. 19, 1843, is a mainstay of the holiday season. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge, first published on Dec. “Marley’s Ghost.” “Scrooged.” “The Man Who Invented Christmas.” Whether musicals, Muppets or miniseries, adaptations of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale abound. Carolina Next: Innovations for Public Good ↗Įditor’s note: This story was originally published in December 2019. ![]() ![]() ![]() Parker saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of herself in this powerful painting of Michelle Obama. Then, Parker walks by Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama…and almost passes it. ![]() Parker Looks Up follows Parker, along with her baby sister and her mother, and her best friend Gia and Gia’s mother, as they walk the halls of a museum, seeing paintings of everyone and everything from George Washington Carver to Frida Kahlo, exotic flowers to graceful ballerinas. Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book. When a nearby museum-goer snapped a photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation. She saw a queen-one with dynamic self-assurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured this young girl’s imagination. ![]() ![]() When Parker Curry came face-to-face with Amy Sherald’s transcendent portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn’t just see the First Lady of the United States. A visit to Washington, DC’s National Portrait Gallery forever alters Parker Curry’s young life when she views First Lady Michelle Obama’s portrait. ![]() ![]() The Iron Woman manages to keep the same mood of The Iron Giant with clear descriptions, an imaginative storyline, and a fairy tale-esque feeling. There is more of an environmental agenda in this story, with the iron woman speaking for the creatures in the rivers. She plays the Hogarth role in that she is the link between the iron woman and the humans. The protagonist of the novella is Lucy, a little girl who speaks to the iron woman. ![]() The Iron Woman does not have much in common with The Iron Man, but the stories are connected as Hogarth and the giant play a small role. The Iron Woman is a 1980’s sequel to The Iron Man that wasn’t published until 1993. A great animation to watch once the reader has finished reading the book and is itching for more. When he falls from the cliff, the narrator’s voice rises in volume and the fall is not slowed down in any way. ![]() The animation makes the giant seem menacing but also obviously lost and confused. The narrator gives a great reading and really catches the tempo and poetic essence of Hughes’s writing style. This stop motion animation narrates the first few pages of The Iron Man and really captures the mystery of the giant. ![]() ![]() ![]() UNREAD NEW) Mindfulness meditation can help both therapist and client stay in the present moment and make the most of treatment sessions. 220 p., diagrams, bibliogr., index 2016 New Harbinger SOFTCOVER: (Orig.
