![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The notion of Mother as Other-the impossibility of knowing her-renders the very ground for still vigorous feminist’s inquiries: what is a mother? Are there mothers, really? If so, where? So we have been insatiably trying to imagine and define what a mother is what mother is, how she creates, destroys, has an eternally-impossible-to-know relationship with her child or children, naming her Abject for the sake of the economy of words. Since this is part of the human experience, it begs the fundamental question, “What is a ‘mother’?” This question is as necessary, and even obligatory, as one that has opened up a new generation of feminist discourses in the latter half of the twentieth century: “What is a woman?” As we were so carefully taught by our feminist mothers, “to state the question” is already a preliminary answer because the performance of asking itself is momentous. All humankind, despite countless differences and diversities, has one thing in common: we come from a woman’s body we call “mother.” This may no longer be true someday in the future, but for now it is still a universal human truth. ![]()

![]() I didn’t know much about this going in, but even then, this book was nothing like what I imagined. But then I get a bit overwhelmed by how many of his books there are to choose from! I think I have a rough idea of which books/series of his I’m going to tackle soon, and THE DOORS OF EDEN has been way high on the list. Which is to say, he’s got a ton of books out & I want to read them all. I think I have an Adrian Tchaikovsky problem. ![]() And as the doors crash open, anything could come through. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor.ĭr Khan’s research was theoretical then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power – and they may or may not be human. Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has she been all this time? Mal’s reappearance hasn’t gone unnoticed by MI5 officers either, and Lee isn’t the only one with questions. ![]() Lee thought she’d lost Mal, but now she’s miraculously returned. Four years ago, two girls went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This felt like KJ’s very own sexy and skullduggerous take on the romcom trend, and I loved it.Ĥ.5 stars! □ *warning, fangirl gushing ahead, LOL* KJ Charles has never let me down. Add in a truly satisfying ending for literally every character in the book, and you’re left with what is basically a perfect quarantine read. The “I know you are fortune-hunting my niece and I’m going to prove it” element already had me giggling at the edge of my seat, but when Robin bamboozled poor, noble Hart by, I almost dissolved. I don’t know who I loved more - the secretly soft-hearted, fortune-hunting Robin Loxleigh, or the socially awkward, gruff and ferocious Hart, the uncle of Robin’s intended target.Īnd really, what a fantastic set up. If you are an especial fan of KJ’s Any Old Diamonds, or of Kim Secretan in The Will Darling Adventures, this one will be a new favourite for you - it certainly was for me. As always, KJ writes deeply loveable characters whose connections and motivations feel intensely human and believable. This book was an utter delight and dragged me right out of a slump. ![]() ![]() The modern world is at once absurdly tedious and repetitive and worryingly unpredictable, as the events of the Second World War had shown perhaps more clearly than ever before. In both plays, the central pair of characters have to occupy themselves while waiting for something to happen: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are waiting to be summoned and then waiting to be given their orders, while Vladimir and Estragon are waiting for the elusive Godot, who never arrives. We have analysed Beckett’s remarkable play in a separate post, but the key similarities between Beckett’s and Stoppard’s two post-war visions lie in the rather helpless passivity of the two central characters in each play, the emphasis on repetition (calling to mind Camus’ absurdist essay, ‘ The Myth of Sisyphus’), and the philosophical emphasis in both. But it almost certainly would never have been written in Samuel Beckett had never written Waiting for Godot, the post-war play which did more than any other, perhaps, to take theatre in a new direction. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead could not have been written, of course, without Hamlet. They were ‘sent for’ by Claudius and Gertrude, who want to find out what’s up with Hamlet. ![]() ![]() ![]() And like Hamlet himself – thrown into a role, that of avenging son, which he seems reluctant to adopt – Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are characters who appear not to be in control of their own destinies. ![]() ![]() ![]() Expand Descriptionĭeath at Gills Rock: A Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery ![]()

These scenes distract Naamah from a longing for her past, her fatigue with present, and her worry for the future all at once. Her daughter-in-law gets pregnant, in a rare instance of heterosexual sex, yet the bulk of the sex scenes are between Naamah and a female angel or between Naamah and Bethel, the lover she left behind in the flood and whose presence she misses more with each passing day. After all, Naamah is the matriarch from whose efforts the rest of humanity will spring. ![]() There’s not much sex in the Bible - at least, explicitly - but there’s plenty of it in “Naamah,” Sarah Blake’s début novel about Noah’s wife as she struggles to maintain her own sanity and, of course, the sanity of her family members. ![]() ![]() ![]() The abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips provided introductions vouching for the truth of Douglassâs words. Thus, part of his motivation for writing the book was to dispel this suspicion and to provide a fuller history than was possible in his lectures. The eloquence of Douglassâs speeches caused some skeptics to doubt his credibility, believing that a former slave with no education could never speak so well. ![]() ![]() The brutalities he witnessed and his slowly growing desire for freedom are presented in the vivid language he was already known for in his antislavery oration. It covers his life as a slave, enduring the whips of the overseers and the hopelessness of his circumstances, until his escape to the north and arrival at New Bedford, Massachusetts. The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was written in 1845, seven years after Douglass escaped slavery, and is the first of three autobiographies.

In addition to such good faeries as Dream Weavers and Faery Godmothers, Brian introduces us to a host of less well behaved creatures - traditional bad faeries like Morgana le Fay, but also the Soul Shrinker and the Gloominous Doom. As it turns out, faeries aren't all sweetness and light. ![]() In this richly imagined new book, Brian reveals the secrets he has learned from the faeries - what their noses and shoes look like, what mischief and what gentle assistance they can give, what their souls and their dreams are like. ![]() That was before they burst upon my life as vibrant, luminous beings, permeating my art and my everyday existence, causing glorious havoc." In the long-awaited sequel to the international bestseller Faeries, artist Brian Froud rescues pixies, gnomes, and other faeries from the isolation of the nursery and the distance of history, bringing them into the present day with vitality and imagination. ![]() ![]() So this story stems from the Complete Celestial Saga by Englehart. The next issue then was another tie in showing the X-men dealing with the new arrival. Same after I read the main Empyre issue 1 ( or 2 ) when the Cotati made to earth. By me reading this in order, FF issue 21 tie in was next and I got to see the go home and what happened when they got there. The decide to send the kids home in an escape pod. For example, early in the story, the FF pop in to earths orbit and see the Kree/Skrull armada posted up at the moon. If I had read the main story first, like it was mapped, I wouldn’t even care about the tie ins at that point. Made the book feel more like a big sweeping epic. So I took time and made a bunch of paper place markers and mapped it myself in chronological order. They put the main story up front and chucked all the tie ins in the back. When I first ripped off the plastic and started thumbing thru the pages to stretch the spine, I noticed Marvel had this book mapped out ass backwards. ![]() |
