![]() Parul Sehgal - New York Times Book Reviewīatuman has won a Paris Review Terry Southern Prize for humor, and her book is consistently hilarious. Long after I finished The Idiot, I looked at every lanky girl with her nose in a book on the subway and thought: Selin. And in the way of the best characters, Batuman's creations are not bound by the book that created them. hefty, gorgeous, digressive slab of a book.… Batuman is an energetic and charming writer…there is more oxygen, more life in this book, than in a shelf of its peers. ![]() It is like a beautiful neon sign made without a plug.

While all his books are good, his Liberation Trilogy, focused on the American Army in World War II, operates at an entirely different level. Simply put: Rick Atkinson is the best narrative historian I’ve ever read. ![]() Rick Atkinson, The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777 And though it was fought in the age of reason, infused with Enlightenment ideals, this war, this civil war, would spiral into savagery, with sanguinary cruelty, casual killing, and atrocity…” Unlike most European wars of the eighteenth century, this one would not be fought by professional armies on flat, open terrain with reasonable roads, in daylight and good weather. ![]() ![]() Instead, what became known as the American Revolution was an improvised struggle between two peoples of a common heritage, now sundered by divergent values and conflicting visions of a world to come. “This would not be a war between regimes or dynasties, fought for territory or the usual commercial advantages. ![]() ![]() ![]() Through memory, reflection, and enduring black humour, Jessica makes a tenuous peace with the world and with her emerging adult self. This is the illuminating story of a teenage girl’s wanderings in darkness: the spiral down into madness, the terrible realities of an adolescent psychiatric unit, and the stark choice that she must either tame her monster – or die.

The human body secretes insulin in response to the consumption of carbohydrates in order to regulate blood sugar. Taubes points to biological, epidemiological, and anthropological evidence to back up his assertions. Taubes posits a causal link between carbohydrates and cancer, as well. Taubes contends that carbohydrates, specifically refined carbohydrates like white flour, sugar, and starches, contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other ailments. Taubes argues that the last few decades of dietary advice promoting low-fat diets has been consistently incorrect. Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (published as The Diet Delusion in the United Kingdom and Australia) is a 2007 book by science journalist Gary Taubes. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore (right) and Sgt. When Moore said that the president plainly had done so because “he said something that wasn’t true,” O’Reilly shot back that Bush’s statements had been “Based upon bad information given to him by legitimate sources.” Pro-war mainstream commentators like ABC’s Ted Koppel would soon echo O’Reilly’s defense of Bush. Instead of highlighting Moore’s “lies,” O’Reilly proceeded to flip the script by arguing that the filmmaker had unfairly called Bush a “liar” for his claims regarding WMD in Iraq. When Moore insisted that the exchange should take place in a “neutral setting,” O’Reilly tried to coax him by offering Moore something unique: “I never give anybody the opportunity to ask me questions,” the host said, implying that he would give his guest that rare honor. On the convention’s opening day, the show’s host had run “into Moore on the street and persuaded him to enter the No Spin Zone,” a dubiously named segment where O’Reilly rips into guests whose politics he doesn’t like. It was here where he finally got to climb in the ring with Bill O’Reilly. One month after Fahrenheit 9/11 made its opening splash, Michael Moore became a controversial presence at the Democratic National Convention in Boston. ![]() The following is an excerpt from Theodore Hamm, The New Blue Media: How Michael Moore,, Jon Stewart and Company Are Transforming Progressive Politics (New Press, May 2008). ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe it's Ben Barnes' charming portrayal of the loser (a bit like John Ritter's charming loser character Jack Tripper on "Three's Company"), maybe it's the wonderfully acidic script, maybe it's the parade of lovably bizarre characters, or maybe it's the suspense of wanting to know if he actually does kill Bono, as the title & opening flash-forward scene tease us. Who would want to sit through 2 hours of this? Answer: YOU. And all the while he cockily convinces himself that he is the last great idealist on the planet. "Killing Bono" is the story of a chronic loser, and from the outset, he makes every bad choice possible, repeats his bad choices, blows just about every golden opportunity to redeem himself. I can see how some people may get annoyed at the protagonist of this story. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reeve died on Octoat the age of 52, just fifteen days after his birthday. Reeve was also paralyzed from the neck down after being thrown off of his horse in a cross-country equestrian riding event on May 27, 1995. It was Reeves' death that inspired the conspiracy theories and the urban legend of a curse associated with the Man of Steel.Ĭhristopher Reeve, like Alyn and Reeves, was so closely identified with the character that it was difficult for him to get lead parts in other films. The death was officially ruled a suicide, but controversy surrounds the ruling, as Reeves' fingerprints were never found on the gun, and he was known to have had an affair with the wife of MGM exec Eddie Mannix. On June 16, 1959, days before his wedding, Reeves was found dead from a gunshot wound in his head at his home with his Luger near him. ![]() George Reeves' career similarly suffered from being so closely identified with the role of Superman. Alyn had Alzheimer's disease later in his life and died in 1999 at the age of 88. He later appeared as Lois Lane's father in the 1978 Superman film. As a result, he was relegated to voiceovers, commercials, and uncredited screen roles. Kirk Alyn failed to find work after his time as Superman because he was too closely identified with the role. ![]() 2 Those Believed to Have Escaped "the Curse". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Never mind that Updike’s own work displayed a comparable attentiveness to the shapes and shades, tensions and textures of female genitalia that was an altogether more meaningful business. Reviewing Hollinghurst’s third novel, The Spell, in 1999, he complained that ‘our noses are rubbed, as it were, in the poetry of a love object’s anus’ and about the author’s habit of recording ‘penile sizes, tilts, tints and flavours … with a botanical precision’. ‘You know, once you get used to the initially kind of disgusting level of homosexual sex, which quickly becomes really interesting as a kind of ethnography, you realise that this is really one of the best first novels to come along in years and years!’ But Updike couldn’t get used to the sex. ![]() I n U&I (1991), his book about John Updike, Nicholson Baker imagines explaining the appeal of Alan Hollinghurst’s The Swimming-Pool Library to his literary hero. ![]() |
