Did it all have to be over so quickly? But to the task at hand. Tolkien, and many, many others have honed their craft to entertain us! And when you get to the end of your favorite book and read that last line, a little bit of disappointment sets in. We have to be thankful that authors of the caliber of Ernest Hemingway, Herman Melville, J.R.R. Blurb: 'Orphaned by her mother and brushed off by her dad, fifteen year old Silvia Cotton had lived a lonely life. my tears ricochet // merlin, s05e13 // eric larocca, things have gotten worse since we last spoke // melodie ramone, after forever ends // merlin. And over the centuries, authors have continued to regale us with tales that sometimes are difficult to read and take in such is their brutality. 'After Forever Ends' is tagged as contemporary, virgin heroine, friends to lovers. They put it right in the same situations with our heroes as we fight off the assassin or lovely kiss the heroine as the sun sets behind a beautiful mountain. Is there anything better than curling up with a good book on a cold winter day? Escape into the pages as you absorb every word the author has so painstakingly thought of?Ĭan you predict how it will all turn out? Will the hero beat his enemies and get the girl? Or is it all in vain as the forces of evil overcome the good and chaos reigns? That's what books do, don't they? They help us to let our imagination run wild. However, this is more than just a teen romance story. From the film’s opening, we are led into the rather unusual friendship and romance that develops between Oskar (Kare Hedebrant), a lonely and bullied 12 year old, and Eli (Lina Leanderson), a mysterious girl who happens to be a vampire forever stuck at the age of 12. Lindqvist sets the story in a Swedish winter of 1982 – more specifically in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg which also happens to be where he grew up. The film is based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel with the same title and directed by Tomas Alfredson. Let the Right One In, a Swedish film released in October 2008, is a major addition to the repertoire of vampire lore that Bram Stoker started in 1897 with his novel Dracula.

It's primarily about a woman's ability to speak her truth, and as we live in the time of the #MeToo movement it all feels so horribly relevant. Judith and Susana's stories as told to Artemisia by her late mother are sprinkled throughout the book, and are the only parts not written in verse.īlood Water Paint is so timely. Artemisia is a woman unhappy with her unfair lot in life, and she uses her art to express that by depicting Biblical women (primarily Susana and Judith) realistically instead of through the male gaze. Unbeknownst to me until about halfway through the book, this story is actually based on a true one, which makes what is already a beautifully written gut-wrenching book all the more poignant. But after Tassi brutally rapes her, Artemisia must decide whether she wants her life to continue as close to "normal" as possible, or if she wants to speak her truth and risk her painting career or worse: death. When her father solicits the help of fellow painter Agostino Tassi to develop Artemisia's perspective, she thinks that finally her work might get taken seriously. All of the credit goes to her father, who is a painter himself, though not a good one. But because she's a painter in Rome in the early 1600s, she cannot take credit for her work.

Brief Summary of Book: Complications: A Surgeon’s Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande She asks us to view a picture beyond face value and removed from education, to probe further into its emotional, psychological, and sociological values. Above all, Simpson compels others to examine how they confront imagery and representation in their own lives. With a pioneering approach to conceptual photography and film, pairing images with narrative bits of text, she asks us to see beyond face value into the deeper layers of what it means to be a Black female, utilizing both her own memories and our shared history to make poignant remarks about the nature, power, and problems of representation. As an African American woman growing up in the United States, Lorna Simpson has kept her artistic gaze fixated on investigating the complex and convoluted permutations of what her particular identity ingrained upon her personal psyche and the communal consciousness of a nation bred on systemic racism.
