![]() As each story gives up its magic, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she's facing at home. ![]() Intrigued, and a little bored with her slow job at the checkout desk, she impulsively decides to read every book on the list, one after the other. ![]() It's a list of novels that she's never heard of before. Aleisha is a bright but anxious teenager working at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. He shops every Wednesday, goes to Temple, and worries about his granddaughter, Priya, who hides in her room reading while he spends his evenings watching nature documentaries. Widower Mukesh lives a quiet life in Wembley, in West London after losing his beloved wife.
![]() The science fiction part is written in Chinese and translated to English by different people, Dr. ![]() The stories are quite interesting, and the production of the book itself is fascinating. The book asks the question “what will the world look like 20 years from now?” There are 10 short stories and an analysis section explaining the role of AI in each story and why that scenario is plausible 20 years from now. He has now teamed up with science fiction writer Chen Qiufan to bring a combination of science fiction and non-fiction in AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future. ![]() Kai-Fu Lee’s book AI Superpowers brought broad awareness to the AI advances being made in China. In this week’s blog, I review the fascinating work titled AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future by Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan-a combination of fiction and non-fiction about a future brought about by artificial intelligence (AI) 20 years from now. ![]() AI Talk: Book review: AI 2041: Ten Visions For Our Future ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jacob’s shame is made palpable in his alternately hurtful and supportive correspondence (“I wonder how to fix you” “You weren’t the son I wanted” “Be the kind of man you are, but be a man”), and the wisdom he gains along the way brings him to concluding remarks that are poignant and moving. He also offers insight on Black history and the power of reading, and writes eloquently about the country versus the city, but the core is about how Jacob treats Isaac-having asked him, for instance, “Do you wanna be a sissy, boy?” at the breakfast table after deriding his son for resisting sports, kissing a doll, and performing in a school play. what any dying daddy might say to his son.” Jacob recounts his years growing up in Arkansas, where he bullied a queer classmate, and describes his courtship with his wife, Rachel, and their move to Kansas City, where they had Isaac. Jacob Swinton writes to his estranged gay son, Isaac, in an effort to, in Jacob’s words, provide a “record of a poor Black father’s appeal. Black ( The Sacred Place) chronicles a father’s confession of his failures in this heartbreaking narrative. ![]() ![]() ![]() I read A Sentimental Journey in an excellent 2003 Oxford World’s Classics edition, which presents the work with other, related writings by Sterne. Yorick / Sterne is exquisitely and intrinsically unreliable: a wonderfully slippery fictional construct. Travel literature traditionally relies on the reliability of the narrator as witness. This complicated and ambiguous first-person / third-person narrator plays a huge role in the success of the narrative. ![]() He narrates the tale of his travels in the person of “Mr Yorick”-on the one hand, a transparent alter ego (Sterne had published his own sermons as The Sermons of Mr Yorick), yet, on the other, a reference back to the parson character in his breakthrough work, Tristram Shandy (1759-67). The book was Sterne’s last, published less than a month before his death from tuberculosis in 1768, and it draws on a journey he himself made through France and Italy in 1762, in search for a climate that would benefit his health. ![]() It’s salutary, as always, to remember quite how postmodern premodern literature can be. I hadn’t read any Sterne for years, but revisiting A Sentimental Journey reminded me of how hilarious he is, and how sophisticated and experimental. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His unique body of writing, much of which is incomplete and was mainly published posthumously, is considered by some people to be among the most influential in Western literature, inspiring such writers as Albert Camus, Rex Warner, and Samuel Beckett. Auden wrote, “Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man.”įRANZ KAFKA (1883–1924), one of the major fiction writers of the twentieth century, was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague. Rather than being surprised at the transformation, the members of his family despise it as an impending burden upon themselves.Ī harrowing - though absurdly comic - meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of 20th-century fiction. It is the story of a young traveling salesman who, transformed overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. ![]() “One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.” ![]() ![]() ![]() The next two books should be released over the next year. The audiobook should be out next month, narrated by a very talented actor, Michael Gilboe. My Nicky and Noah comedy/mystery/romance series premiered this month from Lethe Press with the ebook and paperback of Drama Queen. Also, like Martin Anderson in my Drama Queen novel, I am a college theatre professor/department head. Moving on to playwriting and ultimately writing novels seemed like an obvious next step. We forced our parents to watch every one-including the lavish musicals! After college I became a professional actor, working in film, television, and theatre opposite stars like Rosie O’Donnell, Nathan Lane, Bruce Willis, Charles Keating, Jason Robards, and Holland Taylor. As a kid I was the star of the plays in my friend’s garage. I remember my mother mopping the floor while singing, “Let Me Entertain You” from the musical Gypsy, and my father wrapping a sweater around his waist and singing, “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” from South Pacific while smoking a cigar. ![]() ![]() I come from a very funny and theatrical Italian-American family. A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc ![]() ![]() Read more to find out the thrilling conclusion. When the protagonist witnesses the murder of his lovers father by accident, he goes rogue and attempts to take down the sole people he was working for. Due to his inability to survive without a dose of superpowers, he soon starts to face the consequences of teaming up with wolves dressed up as sheep. In his pursuit to fight crime, he meets the love of his life. He is granted superpowers in exchange for being taken out of jail and trained to use them for catching drug dealing crooks spread across the city. Upon his release, he faces an entirely different world where he faces challenges like no other would face. This is a remarkable fiction novel based on a young adult's life who marveled in a sport until finding himself caught up in trouble which leads him to jail. Poetic protagonist in thriller? Suspenseful mystery or psychological reads? We love poems in novels, it sure sounds interesting to mix poetry with fiction novels especially if it is a fast-paced thriller book.įind the live list on Goodreads !
