We know that whoever she is, she will be an advocate for justice, especially when it comes to the intersectional issues that matter to NOW. But we are confident that the potential nominees are each exceptionally qualified, with a breadth and depth of experience the Supreme Court desperately needs. We’re expecting a concerted, well-financed, and ugly campaign to oppose this nomination, based in misogyny, racism, and lies. Supreme Court to three highly qualified Black women, fulfilling his campaign promise and correcting the shameful history of a Court where 94% of all Supreme Court Justices have been white men, 4% women, and less than 3% people of color.

In addition, a Starz adaptation of his critically acclaimed novel, American Gods is set to premiere in April of this year. If Gaiman wrote an original Batman story, fans could probably expect a heavily literary story that will surely explore the supernatural side of Batman.Ģ017 has so far been a big year for Gaiman whose latest novel, a retelling of Nordic legends titled Norse Mythology, released this month. While The Sandman took place in the DC universe, including plenty of cameos from established DC characters like Swamp Thing, Constantine, Batman, and more, the series felt detached, eventually becoming Vertigo’s main title. Starring the character Dream, The Sandman is about the metaphysical embodiment of dreams who along with other such entities known as the “Endless”, explore DC’s supernatural and spiritual realms, including religious locations like Hell. ![]() ![]() As a comic book author, Gaiman is most famous for his dark fantasy opus The Sandman which rebooted the classic but forgotten DC character of the same name and gave him a Gothic twist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator continues on to describe to describe Mr. Samsa dreaming? Is the mysterious narrator speaking figuratively? As we read on, we learn that no, Mr. What is meant by “vermin,” one wonders? Is Mr. This first sentence puzzles the reader, as one is not yet sure what to think. The story’s protagonist, Gregor Samsa, has awoken one morning to find himself “transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin” (7). The novella opens with a most preposterous scenario, immediately testing, and seeking to expand, the reader’s ability to suspend disbelief. As this short essay will explore, the reader leaves the novel feeling unsettled and unsatisfied, imprinted-one might even say scarred-with the message that sometimes the world one lives in makes it impossible to ever express that identity and to have it understood. Kafka’s Metamorphosis is a magical realist, allegorical tale that touches on the theme most central to us all-that of struggling to find and express one’s own identity in a world of ever-present, all-consuming obligations. ![]() Ominously, the cover does not contain an image of Gregor Samsa in his transformed state-the nature of his new form is left entirely up to the reader. The original cover of Kafka's Metamorphosis, as the author intended it. ![]() ![]() Those who know Balzac will not be able to put his book down those who don’t know him will rush from this biography to the literary treasures created by the writer Robb describes for us in prose that does justice to its subject.” ―Richard Marius, author of Thomas A Biography In the first major English biography of Honore de Balzac for over fifty years, Graham Robb has produced a compelling portrait of the great French novelist whose powers of creation were matched only by his self-destructive tendencies. ![]() Robb has given us a splendid tale, meticulously researched, lovingly put together, and beautifully told. “Honoré de Balzac was one of the greatest storytellers who ever lived, and now at last he has a biography that tells his story in a way Balzac himself would have loved―with all the ambiguities, the flaws, the illusions and myths, the realities of street and salon, the loves and affairs, and above all the imperishable stories that still have the power to make us laugh out loud in one minute and weep in the next. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet, our story opens with thirteen year old Todd and his talking dog Manchee, the last boy in Prentisstown, a town full of men and absolutely no women, and a town ridden with the darkest of secrets. You would think that any secrets would be impossible. This becomes incredibly invasive and confronting, you just cannot escape the layers of noise everywhere. Our world opens with the chilling premise that settlers from Earth have colonised a planet, New World, where every man and creature can hear each other’s thoughts – called ‘Noise’. ![]() Once in a while a book series so totally captivates you, one reading is not enough. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() New York Times bestselling author Amanda Hocking returns to the magical world of the Trylle with THE MORNING FLOWER, the second book in the Omte Origins arc.

The “fantasy” as you might call it is extremely grounded in reality. Tad Williams takes the virtual reality bull by the horns and pushes it as far as it will go. So it’s more like eight books instead of 4.Įven though it features a tight cast of characters, the scope is epic. I mean seriously, it’s almost as if each was twice the length of a regular novel. Even though you might say that virtual reality fiction has been around for a long time, I’ve never read anything quite like this. Nor is it like any other science fiction story either. They blew me away.įirst of all, this isn’t like any other “fantasy” book you’ve encountered. ![]() ![]() I filed them away for later because the first volumes weren’t on the shelf. They were on the bookshelf and I didn’t know why they caught my attention. I first encountered these 4 books when Anupa and I went on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. ![]() |
