Reasons why I’d select the dumpy, grumpy sage of Quincy as Favorite Founder are most apparent in the marginalia and correspondence. Focusing on the last quarter century of Adams’ long life, we see him wrestling with his bitterness at electoral defeat, defending his record in interminable newspaper articles, arguing with authors in the margins of their books, and mending fences with former friends and political opponents, Thomas Jefferson being only the most famous. Still, if forced to choose, I’d select John Adams, and Joseph Ellis, with his typical penetrating insights and lucid style, presents a vivid exposition of the reasons why. Much like the balanced government they established, each man seems to act as a check and corrective on the intellectual excesses and spiritual shortcomings of his fellows, making it hard to subscribe fully to any single Founder’s views.

Alyson’s Noël’s bestselling Immortals series has been hailed as “addictive” “beautiful” “haunting” and “mesmerizing.” In the second installment, Ever can bring her family back from the dead-but only if she’s willing to sacrifice the guy she loves more than life itself.

Agents, managers, they don’t want to rock the boat, because they have a whole cadre of talent they have to keep employed.” “When you think of not being allowed to work in your art form as a writer, a director, because you speak out.” “The level of retaliation in entertainment is profound – it’s terrorism,” Rowell said. The actress claimed that, before leaving the show, she faced “years of racial discrimination, harassment, and resistance from the upper echelons of CBS to increase diversity on the show,” according to a previous report via The Wrap. In real life, Rowell faced her own set of trials and tribulations. Rowell’s character, Drucilla Winters, went from a stealing prostitute to an upstanding member of Genoa City, wife, and mother, over 17 seasons.

Threading My Prayer Rug is a richly textured reflection on what it is to be a Muslim in America today. ONE OF BOOKLIST' S TOP TEN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY BOOKS OF 2016ONE OF BOOKLIST' S TOP TEN DIVERSE NONFICTION BOOKS OF 2017Honorable Mention in the 2017 San Francisco Book Festival Awards, Spiritual Category This enthralling story of the making of an American is also a timely meditation on being Muslim in America today. While no mention is made of Aristotle in the text, Hart begins and ends his story with oak trees and acorns, the same example that Aristotle famously used to illustrate the difference between actuality and potentiality. Both of these features deepen Hart’s exploration of grief and allow him to give a fuller account of the process. He structures his story around two dominant forms of thought in the West: Aristotle’s metaphysics and the literary genre of epic. Hart acknowledges this aspect of grief through his story structure, and through the combination of words and pictures, which allows him to depict multiple stages of grief at once. The phenomenon of grief is hard to understand fully while experiencing it, in part because it is not a linear process that moves toward healing. Midway through his graphic memoir, cartoonist Tom Hart comes to an abrupt and pointed question: “What do you do when your child dies?” In the next frame, he answers the question: “You fall into a hole.” Hart’s meditation on grief gives the graphic details of how he and his wife, Leela, crawled out of that hole following the unexpected death of their toddler Rosalie. |
