Camp Concentration by Thomas M. Disch6/26/2023 But the personal disasters he suffered in the 21st century, to which he gave permanent shape in the many poems he published on his LiveJournal after 2005, raised this dialogue with death to a new intensity to put an end to his life, as he spoke frequently of doing, was to cap that life in his own way, and to demonstrate that he really had meant what he had been saying over the 45 years of his prolific career. Disch, by his own hand, on the Fourth of July, was the last act of a drama that had been unfolding in public for several years.Īs the author of a large number of death-haunted science-fiction novels and stories, and of several Gothic tales which treat modern America as a land of the dead, and of a huge body of poetry much of which danced with death in formal measure, Disch could from the first have been described as a writer well versed in terminus.

Sloyan uses his own contemporaneous reporting, his close relationships with the Marines in Beirut, recently declassified documents, and interviews with key players, including Reagan's top advisers, to shine a new light on the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and Reagan's doomed ceasefire in Beirut. We're still feeling the repercussions today.When Reagan Sent In the Marines tells why the Marines were there, how their mission became confused and compromised, and how President Ronald Reagan used another misguided military venture to distract America from the attack and his many mistakes leading up to it.Pulitzer Prize-winning author Patrick J. 241 Americans were killed in the worst terrorist attack our nation would suffer until 9/11.

"e In this formidable narrative, the prize-winning and super honest reporter, Patrick Sloyan, adds the depth of a scholar's context to produce a gripping reminder of why we should never forget history. Here, Pike replaces the show's revelation of Sandra speaking through the intercom as 'Tristan' with Kevin removing Anya's belongings from her room. In both tellings, an explanation is given that essentially negates the afterlife for readers. Like the show's version, the group promises that the first to die would send the others a message from beyond with the related events, starting with Anya's death, playing out about the same. The story's intended message of the acceptance of death is upheld in both formats, but the book is slightly more outright in addressing it, especially through Ilonka. They cope with this by coming together as 'The Midnight Club' to tell each other stories in the study of Rotterham Hospice. There are some "spooky" elements such as the occasional cold spot throughout the manor's halls and some mystical elements to the sub-stories Ilonka and her friends tell, but there isn't anything present to qualify the book's genre as "Horror." Instead, we're treated to an interesting, yet solemn, short story about a group of young adults who come to grips with their inevitable mortality while also coming of age. While both stories follow a group of close-knit, terminally ill teenagers who reside at a hospice manor through the perspective of Ilonka Pawnuk, the novel isn't a scary story by any means. Unequal by Michael Eric Dyson6/25/2023 In the years since, friends have told me they would stop by Dad-dad’s even without me.It’s explained by both privilege and a different era that my brothers and our friends were free to play tag across an entire block’s worth of yards, or knock on doors without thinking twice. “And a lot of goodies.”Sam and a friend, Olivia, said nearly identical things when I asked about memories of neighborliness in Silver Spring, Maryland: “I was always being sent to a neighbor’s to borrow ingredients” and “there was not a day that we were not outside.”I cherish these memories, but what I cherish most is my grandfather’s curiosity and openness, and his joy to see children knock at the door, whether they were his grandkids or not. An accomplished woodworker, he finished an eave in his attic, intuiting correctly that it was a perfect space for forts.“We knew we had a haven there,” said my brother Sam. We knew we could stop by anytime for a treat, or for tea and cookies at 4 p.m. I would hop on my bike and head over for a mini Horizon chocolate milk.My brothers and I called him Dad-dad, and so did our friends. When I was 6, I found independence in journeys to my grandfather’s house, two blocks away.

Villains of all nations marcus rediker6/24/2023 This unprecedented social and cultural history of pirates proves that the real lives of this motley crew – which included cross-dressing women, people of color, and the “outcasts of all nations” – are far more compelling than contemporary myth. At their best, pirates constructed their own distinctive egalitarian society, as they elected their officers, divided their booty equitably, and maintained a multinational social order. This novel interpretation shows how sailors emerged from deadly working conditions on merchant and naval ships, turned pirate, and created a starkly different reality aboard their own vessels. Award-winning historian Marcus Rediker focuses on the high seas drama of the years 1716-1726, which featured the dreaded black flag, the Jolly Roger swashbuckling figures such as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard and the unnamed pegleg who was likely Robert Louis Stevenson’s model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. Villains of All Nations explores the “Golden Age” of Atlantic piracy and the infamous generation whose images underlie our modern, romanticized view of pirates. “Made up of all nations, and attacking the commerce of the world without respect for nation or property, pirates produced a strange and fascinating drama, an eighteenth-century morality play full of overlarge characters, complicated plots, twists and turns, and even unexpected outcomes.” |
