![]() ![]() ![]() What makes it striking is Damm's nifty, expressive art, photographs of dioramas and cutout painted figures. A shut-in, neatnik woman named Elise lives alone and shuns company, until "something unbelievable" happens - a paper plane flies in her window, followed by a boy knocking at her door. THE VISITOR Written and illustrated by Antje Damm. The happy creatures demonstrate counting, a few apropos opposites like "over" and "under," a dash of wondrous nighttime magic in the form of a shower of stars, and then - as always, parents will bless his name - the joy of settling down serenely to sleep after a full day. He also sneaks in several toddler-ready concepts. ![]() They look lively, yet extremely squeezable, as they march across the pages. The versatile, ever-perceptive Henkes has created a beguiling book of pastel-colored pachyderms, outlined in thick, pleasingly rough black lines. It must be something about their steady, gentle hugeness: Elephants are especially beloved by the smallest children. ![]() ![]() A statue of a Greek or Roman deity would be worshipped as such by those who believed the represented person to be a god or goddess. ![]() Early images, eg cave drawings, were meant to convey information but, as Walter Benjamin point out, throughout the period of history our sense of perception changed with our mode of living and with changes in historical and social circumstances (‘ Visual Culture’ p 75). He takes this a little further by stating that we only see what we choose to look at, that ‘looking’ is an act of choice, that when we ‘look’ we do so with regard to the relationship between the subject and ourselves and this, in turn, conditions the meaning to us of the subject.īefore looking further into the question I think it necessary to look at the way in which ‘meaning’ of images is determined. ![]() This is undoubtedly true of most things, tangible or intangible. Berger (‘Ways of Seeing’ ch 1) is concerned with the way we confront images in ways and places that are very different from their original homes and explores how this affects their meaning …….ĭo you find his case convincing? Do you think that a work of art removed from its original site grows or diminishes in meaning? Does familiarity breed contempt?īerger suggests that the way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Pasithea di Tigana, named after the Greek personification of relaxation/meditation, is anything but a calm motherĬatriana's red hair is used for actual symbolic effect, i.e. ![]() ![]() Maracco ball and sticks = ball hockey? (given GGK's Canadian background.) It took me an embarrassing amount of time to make that connection. At first, I found Alessan like a bit of an Aragorn expy (Alessan, Elessar), and Catriana had some of the overused redheaded personality traits (bold, sharp-tongued and a bit impetuous perhaps some intentional connections to Caterina Sforza?), but as the novel progressed I found these similarities to be pleasingly less and less so. Off the top of my head, some of the things I liked were: the strength of GGK's prose, the detailed worldbuilding (but never done to irrelevance) and the depth and complexity of his characters - although, that last point took some time. Just for fun, I'd started putting in sticky notes between the pages, so that when she got her copy back she could see my comments as I progressed through the book.

The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions-including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.

Although the investigators confirmed many of Sinclair's assertions, members of the Agriculture Committee proved skeptical, challenging the investigators on numerous details. In early June 1906, the House Committee on Agriculture heard testimony from two investigators appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt to verify allegations of unsanitary conditions at Chicago slaughterhouses that had appeared in Upton Sinclair's recent novel, The Jungle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Something is lurking in the deepest waters, devouring all the words that are no longer used. ![]() But once youve done it, everything will be perfectly clear. What if the Right way is the wrong way, or the Left way is the right way? Lauren asked. One of these paths is the true way, and will take you where you need to go but you can only know which is which once you have gone along the way of your choice for some time.

And then there's Redshift Rendezvous, in some ways even truer to the hybrid ideal. Isaac Asimov's robot stories (in contrast to his faster-than-light ships in space) are a good example. People often ask me to name a science fiction/ mystery hybrid that really works. To start, here's my 1992 review, published in the Journal of Social and Evolutionary Systems, of John Stith's Redshift Rendezvous (Ace, 1990, 256 pp.), now available on Kindle. I thought it was time to begin putting these reviews up on this blog, one or two a month, right alongside the more numerous reviews of television series. I've published dozens of reviews of science fiction novels by well-known and little-known authors in the past few decades, in the New York Review of Science Fiction, Tangent, the Journal of Social and Evolutionary Systems, and other places. ![]() |
