While the spell could save Nastya and her family from a terrible fate, there’s another option: to enlist help from Zash, a handsome soldier who’s tasked with guarding her family.

Lowry started writing Under the Volcano in the late 1930s, finally publishing it in 1947. Browsing through the stacks at the library, I found it. I wanted something dark that penetrated to the heart of my image of Mexico, but I wanted a writer other than Greene. What to read, though? Graham Greene? Not in the mood. So I booked a flight to Querétero, a colonial town in the central highlands, and packed my bags. I wanted to feel sun on my face and soft breezes blowing through my hair. I wanted to get away from the endless Chicago winter. Think back to the opening scene of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, where Humphrey Bogart is down and out in Tampico. So many images of Mexico, most of them on the dark side. ![]() The destination of choice for taking it on the lam, as in “I’m goin’ way down south, way down to Mexico way” in the Hendrix reading of “Hey Joe”. The place where Dean and Sal headed for ultimate kicks.

Perhaps a Logan tale not unforgettable for the mind, but what a grandeur for the eyes! So that made me a strange effect to see the blue sky in the last pages. the "dirty" trait, the decadent architecture, succeed in creating a surreal “atmosfear” which drags the reader into a completely dystopian world. I already knew this author thanks to his manga, so I can assure you that no one would read a story (usually incomprehensible) because written by him, but the drawings. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Dominicana by angie cruz![]() ![]() Her grandmother was one of several influences Cruz had growing up that shaped her into the nationally acclaimed writer she is today, with a position as an associate professor of fiction writing at Pitt, a role as founder and editor-in-chief of literary journal Aster(ix) as well as three novels under her belt. “Her stories got wilder and more interesting, and there were a lot of pivots, so I think I learned a lot from her,” she said. ![]() The storytelling skills Cruz picked up from her grandmother are apparent in the way she relates this story, talking quickly but evenly in varied tones, sometimes using her hands for emphasis. “I think that when would tell a story, her desire was to keep me there, so I would keep her company,” Cruz said. Angie Cruz’s education as a writer began during her childhood in New York City in the ’70s, listening to her grandmother weave together intricate stories in the kitchen. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments You will know me novel![]() ![]() ""You Will Know Me" takes you into the dark heart of family, a journey that feels more menacing with every page. ![]() The pages couldn't turn fast enough.Luscious writing, a timely and unique premise, and an ending that will haunt you all summer long."

This author loves detail and this is most evident in Ailey’s account which is so closely observed and meticulous in its detail. ![]() This is a long book, however, and it does at time sprawl which can place demands on the reader. ![]() The historical narrative is powerful, beautifully written and impressive. A family tree at the front of the book is vital as one narrative begins with the Native American inhabitants of the land moving to the rise of the plantation and slavery moving through the generations slowly slotting things into place as Ailey begins her own studies of her family history. ![]() It is both an epic saga taking in generations of an African American family from Chicasetta, Georgia and in a parallel first-person narrative an intimate, unflinching study of the youngest member Ailey, focusing in very close detail on her upbringing and academic studies. Attracting much critical acclaim in the US and an Oprah Book Club pick which ensures high sales this is a big book in terms of size and themes, coming in at just under 800 pages and an extraordinary debut from an award-winning poet. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Brad pilon fasting![]() ![]() ![]() Whenever I tried to explain the concept to anyone, they looked at me like I had lost my mind. I was still in my "try all of the crazy diets" phase, and intermittent fasting seemed to fit the bill. Bert Herring's free Fast-5 ebook, but that was pretty much it. Ten years ago, I'm not even sure people were calling it "intermittent fasting." I read Brad Pilon's "Eat Stop Eat" and Dr. Unfortunately, I was VERY intermittent in my approach, so I didn't really ever give it time to work before I quit and raced on to something else.
