Rain Reign meets Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World in this heartfelt novel about a neurodivergent thirteen-year-old navigating changing friendships, a school trip, and expanding horizons. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the nature of black pain, works like those by Schutz and Goldsmith can feel as useful as “The Cat in the Hat.” They’re strangely callow - capable only of pointing at suffering - and marked by a titillated interest in “the black body” evacuated of all personhood or individuality. Lost in conversations about the ethics or propriety of this kind of “borrowing” is another, simpler question: Why is this art always so bad? The debate over “Open Casket” followed in a long line of such controversies, including a public reading by the poet Kenneth Goldsmith, in which he performed, as a poem, the autopsy report of Michael Brown, the black teenager killed by police in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014. An essay by Zadie Smith (which proved contentious in its own right) distilled the furor down to the question: “Who owns black pain?” It is “not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun,” read an open letter by the artist Hannah Black. ![]() There were calls for the painting to be removed from the Whitney Biennial - even destroyed. In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes and debates about cultural appropriation.Ī recent, very long round was set off by “Open Casket,” a painting by Dana Schutz, which portrayed, in an abstract swirl, the body of Emmett Till, the black teenager tortured and lynched in 1955. ![]() ![]() ![]() To dig deeper into these migration phenomena, read The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson. To learn more about this historical fact, check out “The Great Migration: Creating a New Black Identity in Los Angeles”. In the early 1900’s, Blacks in the United States migrated from the south to the north, but beginning in the 1940’s, Blacks from Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi migrated to California in search of work and a better life. This was during a time referred to as the Second Great Migration (1940-1970). As many Blacks did during this time, the Easy Rawlins character moved from Fifth Ward in Houston, Texas to Watts, California. You will find that the author takes great care of writing the story of the Black experience in southern California.

The villager, who anticipates enjoying a share of the soup, does not mind parting with a few carrots, so these are added to the soup. The travelers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful and which they would be delighted to share with the villager, although it still needs a little bit of garnish, which they are missing, to improve the flavor. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. Then the travelers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the very hungry travelers. Some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kraus' latest will challenge both readers' patience and their ability to suspend disbelief as they follow Ry through the harrowing evening and following few days.

Set largely in London in 1913-14, Voyage is narrated by an eighteen- year-old girl, Anna Morgan, brought to England from her former home in the West Indies by her stepmother, Hester, a selfish woman who all but abandons Anna to survive on her own following her father’s death. A masterpiece in miniature – a brilliant, painful, devastating book that leaves it mark upon the reader. If anything, I think Voyage is even better than its predecessor. ![]() Rhys’ second novel, After Leaving Mr Mackenzie(1931), was a favourite of mine in 2015, so it seemed right to choose her next book, Voyage, as a follow-on read. Back in December, when I put together my reading list for the Classics Club, one of the first books I selected was Jean Rhys’ Voyage in the Dark (first published in 1934). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gwen leaves her children in the protective custody of a fortified, well-armed neighbor.

When reading and reviewing books based on roleplaying games, I always approach with caution. This is the first of the Pathfinder Tales books that I have read, and if the rest of the Tales are as well done as this one, then I know where my hard-earned book money is going. Actually this story follows the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path. ![]() King of Chaos is an outstanding addition to the Pathfinder Tales series. So the question is will finding this blasphemous text save the world or speed it toward demonic doom? To make matters worse, there is a vampire who is intent on making himself the god of blood. As fate would have it, this dynamic duo isn’t the only team in the game, and before the novel is over, they join forces with pious crusaders, local barbarian warriors, and even what are known as god callers. The problem is that to find it, they must search through the ruins of several cities in a fallen nation to try to find this text. Count Varian Jeggare and his hellspawn bodyguard (ironic) Radovan are in search of a blasphemous text that opened the gates to the abyss in the first place. ![]() Now those once-imprisoned demons are escaping and wreaking havoc wherever they roam.
