![]() ![]() Fiction writing is partly the process of clarifying what lies within you. Through these steps, I gain a deeper understanding of the meaning behind the experience. "So I reshape them over and over and fictionalize them, to the point where, in some cases, you can't detect what they were modeled after. "In this book, I wanted to try pursuing a 'first person singular' format, but I don't like relating my experiences just the way they are," Murakami tells me in an email interview. You get drawn into the spiral, and soon you're in that strange world where many of his stories exist, a place full of his favorite things (jazz, baseball, the Beatles, though surprisingly few cats this time) and yet unmistakably odd, existing at a slight, unexplained angle to reality. The stories in Haruki Murakami's new collection, First Person Singular, have a sort of fractal nature - you're reading a story by a middle-aged Japanese man in which a middle-aged Japanese man is telling you a story (and sometimes that story involves him telling other stories). Haruki Murakami's new story collection is First Person Singular. ![]() ![]() Gaffney, a professor of chemistry at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, if we were to package snow and put it on grocery store shelves, what would we have to put on the ingredient list? ![]() And this time of year it’s both free and plentiful to many.īut is snow a magical, local and seasonal specialty, or is it an adventure in extreme eating? As with many wild foods, it can be a bit of both. Snow is one of the first “wild” foods small humans learn to forage. My grandmother mixed raw eggs, cream and sugar and poured it over top. Each time the winter sky let loose, I caught a bowl of fresh flakes. ![]() Growing up in Missouri, I consumed as much snow ice cream as possible from November to March.

THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES is set in a small, Midwestern town that is ravished by poverty and in my mind’s eye I could picture the very places around this small town that I thought Mindy might be talking about. ![]() So while there were many aspects about Mindy McGinnis’ THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES that stood out to me, one that stood out most vividly is the depiction of rural poverty. It was also, at the time, the county with the highest poverty rate in all of Ohio. This town was my home, the place where my children were born. ![]() Shortly after moving to Texas, I learned that author Mindy McGinnis lived just 10 minutes from the very library I had spent the last 10 years working at in the state of Ohio. ![]() Sometimes, it is indeed a small world after all. ![]() ![]() ![]() This year, I had two rice whiskeys on the list, several blend of straights and a plethora of craft whiskeys that rarely get attention. ![]() Luke and Nassif enter the market with blends worthy of every whiskey lover’s attention.Īs I assessed the more than 800 American whiskeys tasted in competitions - San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the American Spirits Council of Tasters - at Blind Bourbon events, YouTube reviews and random tastes on my own time, I factored in aroma, taste and finish, as well as asking the question: “Does this product add something important to the American whiskey scene?” I suppose, you could put the latter in another question: Does it excite me? When I look back on the 2022 American whiskey scene, I saw so much promise from craft distillers such as Frey Ranch, Boulder Spirits and JT Malek, while the once ugly word “blend” became a stalwart in American whiskey. ![]() ![]() ![]() 406 – The Ponyhead Show!, Surviving the Spiderbites Episode Guide My Little Pony 904 – Twilight’s Seven Episode Guideĩ04 - “Twilight's Seven” Written by: Nicole Dubuc, Josh Haber "Twilight and Shining Armor pit their wits against each other to settle a long-standing sibling rivalry, but they soon discover… (More) Berrow "Twilight realizes she never returned a book to the Canterlot Library and may have caused her favorite librarian… (More) ![]() My Little Pony 905 – The Point of No Return Episode Guideĩ05 - “The Point of No Return” Written by: Gillian M. 910 - “Going to Seed” Written by: TBA "Applejack's plans for an orderly harvest go awry when Apple Bloom becomes obsessed with catching a magical creature she thinks can… (More) My Little Pony 910 – Going to Seed Episode Guide 911 - “Student Counsel” Written by: TBA "Starlight Glimmer relishes her role as school counselor and encourages the students to come to her anytime about anything, but she becomes… (More) My Little Pony 911 – Student Counsel Episode Guide ![]() 912 - “The Last Crudase” Written by: TBA "Unexpected visitors to Ponyville threaten to break up the Cutie Mark Crusaders forever."

To capture the sense of urgency about what he’s taken on, he invoked a song title, and not of one of the more than 200 songs in the Beatles’ oeuvre but that of one of their biggest heroes: “It’s now or never.” Initially, they were part of a world in which they were reacting to things around them, and when we get to volumes two and three, they’re very much shaping what’s going on around them.” ![]() ![]() “It’s a biography with the Beatles at the center and everything else that’s happening around them. ![]() “I call this a biographical history,” said Lewisohn of the book, published Oct. Lewisohn, in fact, initially conceived of his grand-sweep exploration of the Beatles as a six-volume project - approaching Martin Gilbert’s celebrated eight-volume Winston Churchill biography - but his publisher convinced him that it would be too much of an uphill battle to market. “But it’s all true and therefore the best story of all.” “It’s a story so fantastic you’d think it’s all been made up,” he said on a recent trip to Los Angeles from his home base near London. ![]() ![]() The stories included in the volume dedicated to Frank Miller's classic work show the continued development of an artistic legend as his skills continued to grow in stature and depth. ![]() All the elements that made Millers tenure on Dare.

The concluding volume of the must-have series The action, drama and artistic brilliance continue as we collect Daredevil. ![]() ![]() ![]() The series also became somewhat infamous for the " You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover" idiom exemplified by the books' cover art from time to time. Stine cites Tales from the Crypt (published by EC Comics) as a source of inspiration, even though the series isn't nearly as gory and violent as the comics. It was The Twilight Zone for pre-adolescents, with a twist at the end of every book (sometimes cruel, sometimes not, sometimes non-existent, which is a twist in and of itself given the series). ![]() The original Goosebumps series lasted for all of 62 books, including such famous titles as The Haunted Mask (which was also the first episode of the TV adaptation, shown as an hour-long special episode), Welcome to Camp Nightmare, the Night of the Living Dummy series (there were three in the original series, but the other spin offs and successor series have had at least one story with Slappy as the antagonist), and the Monster Blood series (the fourth and last of which is the final book in the original series). It was through this simple idea that one of the most successful and controversial pre- Harry Potter-era children's book series began. Stine had an idea: "Why not write scary books for children?" ![]() |
