I was also considering going to graduate school at the University of Oregon to get my MFA in fiction, moved to Eugene, applied to the program there but didn’t get in. The reason I sort of ended up in Oregon is because there are a lot of really great rivers there for kayaking and you can paddle year round. Whitewater kayaking has been a pretty big part of my life since about the age of eighteen, I was working as a whitewater kayaker when I was nineteen. Was there anything that initially drew you there?Ī: From Wisconsin, I ended up in Oregon after going to college in Arizona and living there for a while.

Blair skillfully describes the transition from Roman to Saxon England and shows why Rome's greatest legacy to her former colony-Christianity-flowered within Anglo-Saxon culture. After the governorship of Agricola the written sources almost entirely disappear until the early Anglo-Saxon era of the fifth century but archaeologists have been able to gather a great deal of information about the intervening centuries from excavations of old walled towns, roads, and fortresses dating from the Roman period. The real history of Britain begins with the Roman occupation, for the Romans were the first to leave substantial documentary and archaeological evidence. Blair is careful to explain just how scholars have arrived at an accurate knowledge of the first 900 years. Because the source material is so meager for much of early British history, Mr. By the time of Caesar's first expedition to Britain in 55 B.C., migratory movements had established close ties of kinship and common interest between the peoples who lived in Gaul and some of the inhabitants of Britain. Specialized studies of literary, philosophical, or political aspects of Ortega’s thought abound, but the magnitude and diversity of his oeuvre, and the partial truncation of his career by the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath, have delayed a fuller appreciation of his work. A voracious reader with panoramic interests, he wrote about an astounding range of subjects, from art to zoology. Ortega practiced many subtypes of the essay: note, gloss, review, prologue, fragment, thesis, article, meditation, lecture, dialogue, and biographical sketch. These writings are remarkable for their thematic diversity, intellectual verve, and stylistic brilliance. Most of his writings (now collected in 12 thick volumes) were originally published in Spain’s leading newspapers and journals, or delivered as lectures in his philosophy classes or in public venues. José Ortega y Gasset is Spain’s greatest philosophical essayist, and arguably one of the finest essayists of the 20th century in any language.

To emphasize his point, he tells Mike that they give room 1408 a light cleaning only once a month the manager personally escorts the staff in and out, never letting the door close behind them. He insists that it’s evil, that no one has ever spent more than an hour in the room and lived. So he sets off to New York to debunk another ghost story and spend one more dreary, sleepless night dictating notes into his handheld recorder.īut the hotel manager refuses to let the writer stay in the deadly room. Purportedly, more than 50 people have met their end in room 1408. Then Mike gets wind of a mysterious room in a hotel called The Dolphin. In fact, since losing his daughter he has become a cynical, lifeless husk of a man who doesn’t believe in much of anything. Of course, he doesn’t really believe in any of it. A semi-successful writer of haunted-hotel and possessed-graveyard stories, Mike totes his toolbox of spectrometers and infrared cameras to reported sites of paranormal activity, records his findings and then cranks out books to feed his fans’ obsession with ghosts and demons. He separates from his wife, Lily, and tries to bury his emotional torment under a mountain of work. After the tragic loss of his young daughter to a debilitating disease, author Mike Enslin’s world is shattered.

Normal People is a pas de deux between two Irish teenagers, both star students: Marianne, a loner from an affluent, abusive family, and Connell, a popular jock born to a teenage single mother, who works as a cleaning woman in Marianne’s home. Written in crisp, elegant prose, with an abiding generosity for their characters, these novels signal the arrival of a formidable talent. While her novels traffic in the thorny complexity of how young people relate both online and offline, as well as the dispiriting economic realities mediating the relationships of a post-recession generation, they are also wise beyond their years. At 28, the Irish-born author of two sensational novels, Conversations With Friends and Normal People, has earned seismic praise, including the mantle, “the Salinger for the Snapchat generation.” When Normal People landed this April, it skyrocketed to viral fame with legions of admirers, who have crowned Rooney a prophet of fiction by, for, and about millennials.īut to characterize Rooney solely as a millennial writer is to undervalue her prodigious gifts-namely, the delicious psychological acuity that makes her novels crackle, and her ability to explore the influence of sociopolitical systems on individuals who alternately suffer and thrive under their weight. If you spend any time on the Internet, you may have heard of Sally Rooney. The book is referenced in numerous contemporary films, such as Midnight in Paris and City of Angels. The nature of this subjective storytelling makes narrator reliability and issues of memory a central issue throughout the text, along with Hemingway’s own coming-of-age story as a man and as a writer. A Moveable Feast is Hemingway’s unique perspective on his experience living in Paris he includes a multitude of diverse stories depicting the ever-changing nature of Paris itself and well-known canonical authors such as Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and Scott Fitzgerald. The memoir blends fact with fiction as Hemingway recalls his early time spent in Paris as an up-and-coming writer during the 1920s. The memoir’s structure mirrors this concept, featuring 20 separate yet related stories that make up Hemingway’s own collection of inconsistent holy days. The title, A Moveable Feast, is a play on the term used for holy days that do not consistently fall on the same date every year. A Moveable Feast was written by Ernest Hemingway and published posthumously in 1964, three years after his death. She narrowly escapes after he attempts to kill her, running from him into Sardinia, Italy. Beginning in Argenteuil in 2015, we see a woman named Nora, who we’ve always known as Judith, being abused by her then-husband. The penultimate episode of the series, “Nora,” continues the pattern, but based on the strength of the character and the acting by Nailia Harzoune, it becomes the current high point of the series. None of the first four episodes have deviated from this structure, and the success of each episode directly correlates to those surprises, as they each describe the past of another central character. Something jarring and unsuspecting happens within the first five minutes before the title card, followed by Guillaume (Finnegan Oldfield) and his group of friends attempting to investigate murders and disappearances, ending with another twist before the end credits roll. Netflix’s French thriller series Gone for Good has a structure for each episode. |
