![]() ![]() ![]() The inexplicable death, which occurred when Coates' son was 1 month old, inspires the author to delve deeper into his writing. This intimate epistle dually serves as a eulogy for Coates' former classmate at Howard University, Prince Carmen Jones, who, though unarmed, was pursued by a black police officer dressed like an undercover drug dealer, shot and killed. ![]() In "Between the World and Me," his second, riveting book (written as a letter to his son), Coates delivers a fiery soliloquy dissecting the tradition of the erasure of African-Americans beginning with the deeply personal - his childhood memories of fear in West Baltimore ("Everyone had lost a child, somehow, to the streets, to jail, to drugs, to guns") and his son's devastation upon learning about the non-indictment of Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. ![]() Perhaps when writer Ta-Nehisi Coates named his son Samori, after Samori Touré, a warrior who resisted French colonizers in West Africa and later died in captivity, he had a faint idea that 14 years later Coates would write that son a letter exposing the epidemic slaughter of the black body and the construction of the American dream on its very corpse. ![]() ![]() ![]() Under his right hand which was placed palm down on his chest, was a framed picture of him and his wife.įaye lifted Sam’s wrist and felt for his pulse. Sixty-six-year-old Sam Murray lay on his back, his left arm dangling over the side, his face locked in a look that suggested surprise more than anything else. Susie!she screamed as she peered in through the bedroom door. She couldn’t help but notice how neat and tidy the apartment was-clearly her sister’s handiwork. She knew what that usually meant.įaye took a deep breath and made her way directly to Sam Murray’s bedroom. Her sister had been cleaning and caring for Sam Murray since late in the afternoon, but when Faye called from the hospital just before the end of her private-duty shift, there was no answer. Susie, are you still here?įaye raised her eyebrows quizzically in the ensuing silence. She inserted it in the lock and opened the door. ![]() When no one came to the door, she dug under the welcome mat and came up with a key. ![]() She pressed the buzzer, waited, then pressed the buzzer again. ![]() She was dressed in her nurse’s uniform and looked as though she had just come from work. Faye Sullivan drove into the parking lot of the Murrays’ apartment complex and hurried out of her car toward their unit. ![]() ![]() Amani escaped Dustwalk and found the rebellion in the first book. TRAITOR TO THE THRONE is Alwyn Hamilton’s stunning sequel to REBEL OF THE SANDS, and the second instalment of the trilogy.

Publisher: Faber and Faber (2nd February 2017) ![]() Genre: Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery, Young Adult Title: Traitor to the Throne (Rebel of the Sands, 2) ![]() Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton (UK edition) ![]() ![]() ![]() What were your conversations with director Neil Marshall like? ![]() We caught up with Mignola to talk about avoiding the reviews, the cameo from fan-favorite character Lobster Johnson, and his desire to get back to drawing comics. But that’s hardly Mignola’s fault, and his Hellboy comics will surely remain classics in the canon of sequential art. Alas and alack, critics have not been kind to the film so far - as of this writing, it’s rocking a 12 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. This time around, The Descent director Neil Marshall is at the helm, a shockingly jacked David Harbour ( Stranger Things) is in the title role, and the story is adapted from “The Wild Hunt,” a Hellboy comic that Mignola and artist Duncan Fegredo put together a decade ago. Hellboy, a character created for comic books by writer and artist Mike Mignola in the early 1990s, was the lead in two Guillermo del Toro–directed film adaptations during the aughts, but his latest cinematic effort is a total reboot. It’s been a rough 24 hours for everyone’s favorite crimson-toned paranormal investigator. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the most practical way that a woman can tell on a day to day basis what is going on in her body. ![]() It involves observing the two primary fertility signs: waking temperature and cervical fluid, and the optional third sign: cervical changes. The Fertility Awareness Method is an easy but scientific means of charting the woman’s menstrual cycle on a daily basis. This is where the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) comes in. If only people were routinely taught the fundamentals of human reproduction in school, scores of couples would not be erroneously led to believe they have an infertility problem. I never cease to be amazed by the number of times I run into people who tell me that they have been trying to get pregnant for nearly a year, but have never been taught the most basic information about their bodies.

This isn’t to say Nocturnal Animals is good, just that it’s slightly less terrible. Nocturnal Animals is more engaging than Susan’s section but not by much. It’s through Susan that the reader learns about Nocturnal Animals’s main character, Tony, and the most nightmarish time of his life. She’s reading a manuscript, Nocturnal Animals, a story her ex-husband wrote. It concerns the Susan of the title and focuses on her domestic life, with soporific flashbacks to her flawed first marriage and musings on the problems in her current marriage. It’s a discombobulated, terrible something-or-other.Īustin Wright structured Tony and Susan as a story within a story. It’s not a mystery or literary fiction either. Bookstores and libraries can shelve it as a thriller, and Saul Bellow can endorse it by calling it “a story of blood and revenge,” but it’s not thrilling. ![]() ![]() Nationwide one in every 11,683 housing units had a foreclosure filing in October 2020. South Carolina, Nebraska and Alabama post highest state foreclosure rates "It's likely that many of these properties were already in the early stages of default prior to the pandemic, or are vacant and abandoned, which makes them candidates for expedited foreclosure actions." Rick Sharga"It's a little surprising to see foreclosure activity increasing in spite of the various foreclosure moratoria that are in place," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of RealtyTrac, an ATTOM Data Solutions company. ![]() ![]() ![]() Where two students of color were expelled for copying from each other, a White male student who had plagiarized work was punished by being sent to the school’s Learning Center. The author also observed unequal treatment of her peers. During her first year, a White student not only accused an innocent James of stealing $20 from her room, but also threatened to call her uncle, who was a police officer. ![]() The beautiful campus seemed to promise madcap Harry Potter–style adventures, but James soon realized that the majority-White school was really a “swamp of microaggressions” that threatened to engulf her at every turn. ![]() When James enrolled at the prestigious Taft School, she had no idea that, as Taft’s first “Black American legacy student to graduate since 1891,” she would become the school’s poster child for diversity. A founding editor of recounts her experiences as a student at an elite boarding school and, later, as an admissions officer specializing in diversity recruitment. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unspooling like a documentary, "Daisy Jones" reveals the reason behind the band’s fallout through flashbacks. “You got to see people talking about their life in a way that built this mystery.” “It read like a movie or television show with back in time, but also had this great documentary footage angle too,” the 46-year-old actor and producer says. Witherspoon started reading “Daisy Jones & The Six’’ and quickly understood Neustadter’s fascination with the story. ![]() The “Your Place or Mine” star says that she was on vacation when her producing partner Lauren Neustadter, who is also an executive producer on the upcoming Prime Video series, called her and said, "Stop whatever you’re doing and read this book right now." While on the red carpet event, which was held at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre, Witherspoon tells how the book first got into her hands. In 2019, “Daisy Jones & The Six” landed on the New York Times bestseller list and was selected as one of Witherspoon's picks for her book club. ![]() (Michael Buckner / Variety via Getty Images) Author Taylor Jenkins Reid and Reese Witherspoon posing for a photo at the premiere. ![]() |
