![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Darker (El James) book by El James RELIVE THE PASSION OF FIFTY SHADES DARKER THROUGH THE EYES OF CHRISTIAN GREY IN HIS OWN WORDS AND THROUGH HIS TORMENTED THOUGHTS REFLECTIONS AND DREAMS E L James revisits the world of Fifty Shades with a deeper and darker take on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the globe. ![]() ![]() ![]() By nomadization, I refer to some of the spatial effects of globalization at this stage of its development, in which local homes, traditions, economies, and identities are increasingly supplanted by interconnected, uprooted, and transient identities, and space and time become increasingly entangled and compressed. For Hawthorne, the not so celestial railroad is an emblem not only of modernity, but secularization, class destabilization, and what we might see as a form of proto-nomadization. ![]() ![]() Clifford’s reaction to the new spatialization the railroad augured encapsulates one of the novels’ central concerns-how travel and mobility will eviscerate, or emancipate us from, social bonds. In this artice, I explore how Hawthorne addresses the relationship between spatial and social mobility in his depictions of railroads, and I partly focus on the chapter in The House of the Seven Gables in which Clifford and Hepzibah travel by train. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although the name contains the word “tint”, this is a black-and-white printing process aquatint plates can often be hand colored, however.

The Tantras are believed to be the appropriate teaching in the Kali Yuga, and understanding the role that the Kali Yuga plays in Tantric traditions is absolutely vital to interpreting the nature of Tantra itself. But how accurate are these portrayals, and how do they compare to actual Tantric practices in India? To the casual observer, Tantra appears to partake of an oppositional role in regard to Vedic teachings, but this conceals a much more conservative core, for the Tantric traditions actually strive to reinforce their Vedic heritage. The word conjures forth a million images – including sex, transgressive practices, and the occult. ![]() ![]() Beginning with Thompson in his youth and continuing through his maturity toward adulthood, the novel chronicles the irreversible emotional scars left by his devoutly Christian parents, his love/hate relationship with his younger brother (which are among the most humorous and touching passages to be found anywhere), his first love, and the gradual decline and eventual loss of his faith. Though there is really no shortage of autobiographical graphic novels available now, Thompson's painful, funny, sometimes surreal story is second to none. In Craig Thompson's nearly 600-page autobiographical masterpiece Blankets, the reader is taken on a journey through the reminiscences of the author.īlankets is an ambitious work, to say the least. Whatever these memories, no matter their effect, they serve to mold us into the people we ultimately become. And on occasion, it is the very nostalgia of those memories that allows us to smile and ache all at once. ![]() Other times, they remind us of good days gone by. ![]() Sometimes these memories serve to haunt us for our sins. In the interwoven lives of all families, there are moments and times that will, for better or worse, create lasting memories. ![]() Words by Craig Thompson - Art by Craig Thompson - Published by Top Shelf - First published 2003 ![]() ![]() We’re packing our bags and moving to Green Valley!

But this letter, about Sappho, though it begins comprehensibly enough, eventually goes down what I would call a worm-hole. For poems matter, they speak to us of important things that we need to know. ![]() “I try to write about poems in ‘ordinary’ language,” I said, referring to my intent of making poems accessible - not, of course, just trite, easy-to-understand messages - so that I can allow readers to enter into poems. ![]() I spoke with some friends about this letter yesterday, saying I had reservations about sending it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plus an origin story I could have sworn had already been done previously, but then it's a long time since I read the early stuff a crossover with sixties surf kids the Kook Patrol, and if you're not familiar with them, don't worry, their solo introduction is in here right before said crossover and a car race, complete with modding, to see who has to make the tea, which is such a splendid imbalance of effort that I can't help but love it.

As in 'fucking' when you swallow the first syllable, but also because one of the stories in here sees the lead caught up in a scabrous reworking of Arthurian myth, and perhaps Once And Future in particular given the way it ends up with two rival kings thanks to the myth's two rival swords. ![]() |
