![]() ![]() ![]() The selection of focus here is mainly for three distinct reasons: the long history of the argumentative tradition in India, its contemporary relevance, and its relative neglect in ongoing cultural discussions. I am very aware that there are other ways of proceeding. It does not reflect a belief that this is the only reasonable way of thinking about the history or culture or politics of India. I need not, therefore, labour the point that the focus on the argumentative tradition in this work is also a result of choice. Any attempt to talk about the culture of the country, or about its past history or contemporary politics, must inescapably involve considerable selection. India is an immensely diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly disparate convictions, widely divergent customs and a veritable feast of viewpoints. The first four, which make up the first part of the collection, introduce and explain the principal themes pursued in this book, related to India's long argumentative tradition. These essays on India were written over the last decade - about half of them over the last couple of years. ![]()

![]() ![]() “The night was cold, chilling the sweat on his face, but the air was as sweet and crisp as the first bite of a fall apple.” But don’t be fooled – this man is a master of his craft, and every now and then, he’ll casually throw in a sentence that is, in my humble opinion, pure genius: It’s easy to dismiss Stephen King as “popular” - whatever that’s supposed to mean! I personally like his writing style, which has an easy flow to it. King again uses his familiar town of Castle Rock as a microcosm to demonstrate how destructive prejudice and intolerance can be, and how overcoming these emotions can be life-changing. He explores how people treat each other, and at the heart of all his novels are themes of friendship, kindness and redemption. They are always about the characters, and how they respond to a situation - whether it’s horrific or not. Trying to categorise Stephen King’s books is fraught with difficulty - Elevation is a case in point.Īt a mere 132 pages, it’s barely a novella, so should it be shelved with short stories? And it’s by Stephen King, so it has to be horror, right? Wrong! Anyone who has more than a passing acquaintance with King’s writing will know that even his horror novels aren’t really about horror. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Its opening chapter would be scripted straight from the Raymond Chandler school of thriller writing (‘When in doubt, have a man come through the door with a gun') and begin not in 1962 with a baby boy and a kindly staff nurse at the Rotunda hospital in Dublin, but twenty-two years later when the boy arrives in Paris in search of fame and fortune. In his introduction to the 1998 edition of Rough Ride (in which the title lost its indefinite article), Paul Kimmage noted how his original intention for the re-issue of the book was that it would be re-worked in the style of a hard-boiled noir: ![]() It's the story of a sport so corrupted by its own mythology that it has lost all touch with reality and seems incapable of heeding the warnings given to it. And if that alone doesn't tell you what went wrong in our sport as cycling dragged itself into the twenty-first century then you really do have to read Hamilton's story. If David Millar's Racing Through the Dark is this generation's A Rough Ride then Tyler Hamilton's The Secret Race must be Breaking the Chain. Note: this review originally appeared elsewhere in 2012 Weaknesses: Hamilton is just trying to say he was never as bad as Lance Armstrong (for that matter, he was never as good, either) Strengths: More readable than the USADA report What it is: Tyler Hamilton's tell all tale of doping and deceit Author: Tyler Hamilton (with Daniel Coyle) ![]() ![]() Taylor also inserts quotes and tales that further the story arc and characters. I can tell you right now that this book basically has nothing to do with angels and demons, and I couldn't be happier about that then I ever have been my whole life. And it isn't just about the mythology it's about love, growing up, truth, prejudices, and overcoming hardships. Laini Taylor has stripped that idea to its bare bones and has changed it morphed it in such a way that it's it own genre. What do I mean by that, you ask? That because this book is nothing about that. That is one of the best, most amazing, lies that I have ever heard. ![]() In the synopsis of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, it tells you that this is a story about how a "demon" falls in love with an "angel." So one would think that this is about Heaven, Hell, God, etc. What are you, Daughter of Smoke and Bone? ![]() When I finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone I wasn't quite sure how to handle it. This book is like some sort of weird alien. in order to understand this review better if you haven't read the Fallen series, please check out my thoughts on the other book that I will be discussing here. ![]() ![]() ![]() Could you give some examples of your genre fiction? You are most well-known for your YA speculative fiction. Thank you for speaking to PaperbarkWords, Marissa. You will leave this book with, not only a contented sigh, but an understanding of how to better appreciate and care for our world. Romance, friendship, humour, music, marine life and mystery are consummately structured to create a highly satisfying read. Sparks of intolerance and confusion, as well as maybe something else, fly between incompatible biology lab partners Prudence and Quint. ![]() It is very different from her previous books but equally excellent. Instant Karma is Marissa Meyer’s new, highly appealing YA novel. (The Renegades trilogy in the Weekend Australian, 2019) Threads that spiral throughout the trilogy, such as weak versus strong, good versus evil, how power can turn heroes into villains and how heroes may not need superpowers build to a breath-taking crescendo. ( Heartless in the Weekend Australian, 2017) Heartless is an excellent imagining of the transformation of the Queen of Hearts from young woman to a raging, “Off with his head”, virago and is set entirely in this fantasy world, with a few subversions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot, the people, the idea, all magnificent. This book kept me hooked through every page I simply could not put the book down. The idea that Elsie Chapman illustrates is beautifully woven into a teen’s life, in a world that is a haven, but safety comes at a price. The summary was nothing like I have heard of, which is the reason why I had my eye on it. I had this book marked on my calendar months before it was released. If she has any hope of winning, she will have to stop running from herself and her fears and face the one person who wants to survive just as much as she does: Her Alternate.

Leiter was also deeply interested in Japanese culture, such as ukiyo-e and the concept of Zen. His words are short and simple, but really eye-opening, such as “What’s important is not what you saw or where you saw it, but how you saw it.” The book also includes writings by Leiter that are powerful enough to rival his photographs. The book contains works from Leiter’s start as a photographer for fashion magazines, color photos he took in private around the neighborhood of his New York studio, beautiful, sensual black and white photography of women, and some of his paintings. These two books are collections of works and writings by American photographer and painter Saul Leiter (1923-2013), translated into Japanese.Īll About Saul Leiter was published in conjunction with the exhibit “Photographer Saul Leiter: A Retrospective” held in Tokyo in 2017 (later held in Itami and Niigata). ![]() |
