Undeterred by relentless, scalding criticism, Menzies - a former sailor with Britain's Royal Navy - went on to write an equally scoffed-at sequel, "1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance" (William Morrow, 2008), and the widely mocked "The Lost Empire of Atlantis: History's Greatest Mystery Revealed" (Harper Collins, 2011). Menzies' claims were roundly criticized by respected researchers and historians: "The historical equivalent of stories about … close encounters with alien hamsters" is how Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, professor of history at the University of London, described the book, according to the Telegraph. Oh, and Lady Rogue also marks the debut of Mr. In my mind it's a depiction of the first time Kit puts on a ball gown, and the way Alex Cale feels when he first sees her as a lady. I love this book, and I love the new package. Who would mistake this enchanting, albeit cheeky, chit for a lad? Alex is determined to discover the real reason Kit is in London, but as he's dragged into one escapade after another, he finds himself succumbing to her charm and spirit. It doesn't take long for Alex to see through her disguise. Christine "Kit" Brantley is masquerading as a boy because her mission is to spy on Alexander Cale, the Earl of Everton. an earl who fell in love with a spy! And thus Lady Rogue was born. One day, during a slow afternoon at my day job, I thought: What would I write? Inspiration struck. Dear Reader, Some people grow up wanting to be lion tamers or astronauts. The structure of the play is remarkable, but the play is less compelling than other Miller plays that are less about him, in my opinion. Miller uses Quentin's most recent love affair, with Holga, set in the present, to examine his past. The controversial center of the play is the self-destruction of a show business idol, Maggie, to whom he is married. The play is a kind of memory play, where Quentin sits on an almost bare stage and returns to various memories of women in his life-his marriages, affairs, his mother-touching on the Holocaust, the McCarthy Trials, the Stock Market Crash, and other incidents. I listened to an LA Theaterworks production over the last couple days, starring Anthony Paglia, who plays a lawyer stand-in for Miller, Quentin, reflecting on his loves and losses. I'd never read this play or seen it, after heard it was interesting, but somehow self-serving, focused as it is in part on his relationship to Marilyn Monroe, with whom he had divorced two years previous to the first production of the play. I have decided to re-read or listen to productions of Arthur Miller's plays, many of which I have taught or seen produced many times. I didn’t expect to develop feelings for Gunner Camden.Īnd there’s no way I can admit to my lies now, not without destroying what we share.

My mother died seven times before she gave birth to me. A few days later, he’s in a barracks and there’s another airdrop-a cannister on a parachute comes crashing through the ramshackle ceiling, and breaks open. Evacuated from the camp and forced to march, he’s out in the countryside dying of starvation when there’s an American airdrop and he gets some cans of Spam and other things to eat. He survives hunger and disease, a detention center, and three years in a prison camp. That’s what his poetry is.Īt the outbreak of the Second World War, Jim (Christian Bale), an eleven-year-old British boy in Shanghai-a kid who goes to school in a chauffeur-driven Packard-is separated from his parents during the mass exodus when the Japanese Army invades the city, on December 8, 1941. For the sake of emotion- to have something to say, to give the picture some meaning-he pumps it full of false emotion. Working on an enormous scale and with a large theme, he throws himself into bravura passages, lingers over them trying to give them a poetic obsessiveness, and loses his grasp of the narrative. And then, first in brief patches and then in longer ones, his directing goes terribly wrong. It’s swarming with people, all doing his bidding as the camera moves around the tops of stately buildings to the streets below. Steven Spielberg takes over Shanghai and makes it his city. It’s so gorgeously big you want to laugh in pleasure. Empire of the Sun begins majestically and stays strong for perhaps forty-five minutes. ''Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant'' is Anne Tyler's ninth novel her career began in 1964 with a fully realized first novel (the title was ''If Repeatedly they've been brilliant - ''wickedly good,'' as John Anne Tyler's books have been having this effect on me for nearly a decade.

Section 7, Column 1 Book Review Deskīy BENJAMIN DE MOTT Benjamin De Mott is Mellon Professor of Humanities at Amherst. March 14, 1982, Sunday, Late City Final Edition Her personal difficulties with weight regulation and her experience in overcoming them provide important perspective and inspiration for her work. Relying on her unusual blend of academic, therapeutic and clinical expertise, Bacon is adept at translating scientific research into practical application. She also earned a PhD in Physiology with a Nutrition emphasis from the University of California. Bacon’s academic training includes two Masters Degrees, one in Psychotherapy, specializing in Eating Disorders and Body Image, and the other in Exercise Science, specializing in Metabolism. Linda Bacon is changing the way we view our own bodies, as well as the bodies of others and has made a huge impact already with her two books Health at Every Size and Body Respect. This movement has revolutionized what it means to be healthy and is stripping away our culture’s longtime belief that overweight means unhealthy and that one’s health can only be determined by one’s size.Dr. Linda Bacon is the creator of the movement Health at Every Size, also known as HAES. Everything mentioned above? Great, good, awesome. They have something very precious of hers, and they know she'll do anything to get back.Īnyone who's been reading this title can probably guess what I'm talking about, but I'm trying not to be all spoilery. It seemed like a no-brainer that she'd refuse, but Bones had an ace in the hole. They want Batman unmasked, but it appears that this vigilante has all his bases covered. In the Killer Croc one-shot, you get a look at how Maggie is fully capable of not only taking care of herself, but also stepping up to help take care of Batwoman. And I liked how she immediately has her back. Now that Maggie knows that Kate is Batwoman, there's definitely a deeper layer to everything. It starts off with Kate and Maggie still struggling with the repercussions of the battle with Medusa, but their relationship seems strong enough to overcome it. This was another excellent volume of Batwoman, and you really have to credit the creative team that put it together. |
