This recent movie version has taken up such a challenge with fine colours. It empowers and makes a hero out of Everyman. It takes us out of our mundane, ordinary life and catapults us to brave, new worlds. Walter Mitty the character unleashes the escapist in us. Over the years, Thurber’s Walter Mitty seems to have turned from a fictional character into a concept. At another time he would cast himself as a world-renowned surgeon saving a dying patient on the operation table, or as an expert shooter, or a war hero. Behind the wheel of his car driving his wife to the hair salon, he would zone-out and imagine himself a fighter pilot piercing through a storm. He intersperses his meagre existence with heroic daydreaming. In Thurber’s story, Walter Mitty is a man living with an overbearing wife. The story saw its first movie adaptation in 1947, starring Danny Kaye as Walter Mitty. If you’re interested to read or reread it, here’s the link. It was released on Christmas Day, 2013, only to meet with disappointing critical reviews.Īny movie version derived from James Thurber’s short story first published in the March 18, 1939, issue of The New Yorker is allowed plenty of room for reinvention, since the original story is only about 2,000 words in length. This new adaptation loosely based on James Thurber’s 1939 short story was a highly anticipated year-end movie, possibly aiming for a spot in the coming awards season. Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can’t deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain’s politics at the Queen’s command. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women’s suffrage movement. So before I forget everything that happened in these three books I read in January of this year, I figured best to get the reviews written now! Here is the first, the next two will follow tomorrow and the day after.Įngland, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. So I had been waiting to write reviews for the three books in this series until this fall to coincide with the release of the fourth book in the series but it’s now been pushed back. Did gorgeous, landed Hamilton Garrett V really kill his mother twenty years ago? And if so, what is Sarah Booth doing falling for this possible murderer? When she asks one too many questions and a new corpse turns up, she is suddenly a suspect herself…Īnd Sarah Booth finds that digging up the bones of the past could leave her rolling over in her grave.Ĭarolyn Haines has delighted readers with her acclaimed Mississippi Delta mysteries, which introduced a truly unique hero*ine: Sarah Booth Delaney, an unconventional southern belle who solves uncommon murders. Not to mention being haunted by the ghost of her great great grandmother’s nanny, who never misses an opportunity to remind her of her sorry state or to suggest a plan of action, like ransoming her friend’s prize pooch to raise some cash.īut soon Sarah Booth’s walk on the criminal side leads her deeper into unladylike territory, and she’s hired to solve a murder. Unwed, unemployed, and over thirty, she’s flat broke and about to lose the family plantation. No self respecting lady would allow herself to end up in Sarah Booth’s situation. I shouldn’t have listened to that ghost…Īn unconventional Southern belle whose knack for uncovering the truth is about to make her the hottest detective in Zinnia, Mississippi… Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond mortality. Much of what defines us was also in Neanderthals, and their DNA is still inside us. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. Since their discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins.Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside cliches of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. Kindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals. 'Important reading not just for anyone interested in these ancient cousins of ours, but also for anyone interested in humanity.' Yuval Noah Harari Beautiful, evocative, authoritative.' Professor Brian Cox After the therapist finally rejects her increasingly desperate overtures, Hong leaves what she calls a “long screed” of a review on the website RateMyTherapist: “Koreans are repressed! Rigid! Cold! They should not be allowed to work in the mental health care profession!” At an appointment with a new therapist (this time Jewish), Hong spends most of the session retracing the traumas of her first. Where likeness might enable a more productive therapeutic relationship, Hong encounters only further animosity. Hong suspects it is because of their shared ethnicity. More specifically, it begins with two Korean American women-Hong and a potential new therapist-who fail to get on. Minor Feelings: An Asian American ReckoningĬathy Park Hong’s bracing new book, Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning, begins with a similar anecdote about two Asian women in irreconcilable conflict. (Although I think we both know that if Bon Jovi is the prince of New Jersey, its king is Bruce Springsteen.) From the tiny amount I can see, his house looks lovely – wood-panelled walls and not over-flashy. “I am the crown prince of New Jersey,” he declares, which is probably true – he named one of his biggest-selling albums after the state and has stayed firmly loyal to his home turf. “It bought a lot of people houses,” he says.īon Jovi, 58, is talking to me on Zoom from his house in New Jersey. Maybe we should just put it on a movie soundtrack.’ Richie looked at me and said: ‘You’re an idiot – it’s really good.’ I said: ‘I just don’t know where it’s going.’ But it didn’t have that boom boom boom bassline yet, so it sounded more like the Clash.”īon Jovi looks at me as if I had asked about the woods-based habits of bears. I remember walking out of the room with Richie and I said: ‘Eh, it’s OK. So he didn’t know it was a hit when he wrote it? I’m sure happy my name’s on it!” Bon Jovi grins. It was created on a day when none of us had any ideas, we just had a conversation and it came out of that. But my God, who knew? Not us, I can assure you.

It continues to divide readers, but its reputation as one of the most influential poems of the twentieth century is secure. Not long after its publication, The Waste Land became a talking-point among readers, with some critics hailing it as a masterpiece that spoke for a generation of lost souls, and others denouncing it for its allusiveness (the US poet William Carlos Williams disliked it because it ‘returned us to the classroom’) or for its unusual modernist style. But the poem is also strikingly modern in its references to jazz music, gramophones, motorcars, typists and tinned food. Eliot also alludes to numerous works of literature including the Bible, Shakespeare, St Augustine, Hindu and Buddhist sacred texts, as well as French poetry, Wagnerian opera, and Arthurian legend surrounding the Holy Grail. The poem is notable for its unusual style, which fuses different poetic forms and traditions. Divided into five sections, the poem explores life in London in the aftermath of the First World War, although its various landscapes include the desert and the ocean as well as the bustling metropolis. Eliot’s landmark modernist poem The Waste Land was published in 1922. |
