![]() Well, I am neither-and both-of these people. Then you have the cynics, those curmudgeonly souls who call it a “Hallmark holiday” and complain that if true love exists, its proclamations should be expressed spontaneously on any random day and without the expectation of gifts. These individuals believe in fate and soul mates and the notion that the universe sends out winged, mostly naked babies to shoot arrows into select single people, thus infecting them with true love that may cause drowsiness and a massive happily-ever-after. When Valentine’s Day rears its sugary-sweet, heart-shaped head, there are two types of people who receive it.įirst, you have the full-on lovers of the holiday, hopeless romantics obsessed with the idea of love itself. ![]() Sometimes the wait is just longer in real life than in fiction.

This fearless poet extends American poetry in invigorating new directions.’ Poet Mark Doty has written of her: ‘Claudia Rankine’s formally inventive poems investigate many kinds of boundaries: the unsettled territory between poetry and prose, between the word and the visual image, between what it’s like to be a subject and the ways we’re defined from outside by skin colour, economics and global corporate culture. ![]() Her tendency to mix genres led her 2014 book Citizen to be nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award in both poetry and criticism categories.

A thrilling end this addictive series!"― RT Book Reviews on Duke of Desire ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's so perfect that it looks effortless, always the intention of authors but as difficult to do as the perfect triple in figure skating. Every last detail of life in the twenties and thirties is exquisite. Not a cup of coffee, not a palm tree, is out of place. It was tangential to what I was researching, but I'd read just enough about the Garden of Allah to be fascinated, so I gave it a try.īoy am I glad I did! This book - this whole series - is fantastic! The setting, the place and time, the worldbuilding and the detail, is perfect. I was doing some research on Hollywood in the thirties for an upcoming book of my own, and The Garden on Sunset looked interesting. I picked up The Garden on Sunset because it came across my Amazon suggestions. This is a completely legit glowing review from a reader. Nor does he share the same publisher, so this is not one of those obligatory reviews one-author-to-another I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine reviews that you often see. ![]() ![]() Equally as interesting were the personal stories of convicts like Phil Ryan, Wareagle, Thomas Robinson Jr, and the 'Weyerhaeuser Baby Snatcher', Harmon Waley. People we've all heard of like Scarface Capone, Creepy Karpis, and Machine-Gun Kelly. What he does share is first-hand observations, and sometimes conversations, with the notable incarcerated inmates of his tenure. I was hoping to get a glimpse into the realities my grandfather faced, and I suppose I did, but the author, Dr Beacher, does not provide us with the impact the work environment had on him. In fact, he requested not to be sent back for further duty on Alcatraz. Unfortunately, I've never learned much about his experience there other than he did not enjoy it at all. I was always fascinated to know that my grandfather "did time on the Rock". ![]() ![]() This must have been approximately 1946 or 1947, and I think it was for a period of 2 weeks. As an MD working in San Francisco, my grandfather was assigned to temporarily stand-in for one of the Doctors working on Alcatraz while they went on vacation. ![]() My grandfather spent almost his entire career working for the same government agency as the author did in 1937-38, the US Public Health Service. ![]() ![]() ![]() “But only my face and my name are Japanese,” I say.

Ten-year-old Manami did not realize how peaceful her family’s life on Bainbridge Island was until the day it all changed.

Mediocre investigates the real costs of this phenomenon in order to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and sexism. What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is defined by status over women and people of color, instead of by actual accomplishments? Through the last 150 years of American history - from the post-reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys in the West, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics - Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves. From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, an "illuminating" ( New York Times Book Review) history of white male identity. ![]() ![]() ![]() “By itself, you can probably understand why this phrase has become a mantra of sorts, especially in the glamorized world of overworked start-up founders hoping against pretty high odds to make it,” writes Books on the Wall‘s Andrea Schlottman. ![]() Or rather, the apparent sentiment resonates. ![]() Fail better.” The sentiment seems to resonate naturally with the mentality demanded by the world of tech startups, where nearly every venture ends in failure, but failure which may well contain the seeds of future success.
