Banana yoshimoto book5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() They make the narrator “uneasy,” she says: “Ghosts probably lived in ghost time - time that flowed in its own strange way, somewhere completely removed from our own. The ghosts go about their mundane lives, seemingly unaware that they are ghosts. In “House of Ghosts,” a young woman encounters, well, ghosts of an elderly couple in the soon-to-be-demolished apartment of her new lover. At the center of each is a woman negotiating the quiet fallout of personal history. The five stories in Banana Yoshimoto’s collection “Dead-End Memories” - first published in Japan in 2003, it is her 11th book to be translated into English - are strange, melancholy and beautiful. DEAD-END MEMORIES: Stories, by Banana Yoshimoto, translated by Asa Yoneda ![]()

Vashti harrison hair love5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I figured it early on to be a "be proud of what you were born with" sort of thing, which it kind of is, but it's also about a helpful dad, a mom (probably) coming home from the hospital, and the hair stuff was really cool.ĭave: 4. I like how the dad is always trying to make his daughter happy and give her the best hairstyle for her. Not my favorite book, but heart-warming and adorable and legit. Cute and simple, about a hard-working family letting their daughter express herself as she pleases □. Mom walks in at the end, her own hair covered (without explanation, so we discussed whether she might be coming home from the hospital, or something). ![]() The tale is a father-daughter story, where he tries (for the first time) to help his daughter get her hair the way she wants it. This is book #15 (of more than 20) of 2019, and we thought it was sweet. My family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books every year. Good for Matthew Cherry, former NFL football player, whose animated version of this picture book was just awarded Best Animated Short, at the 2020 Academy Awards! ![]()

The Second Coming by Lupinus5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The poem also carries echoes of Shelley’s enigmatic poem ‘Ozymandias’, which we’ve analysed here. ![]() Eliot’s The Waste Land, Yeats’s ‘The Second Coming’ fuses images and themes involving apocalypse, the desert, religion, and the fall of civilisations. Indeed, like another great modernist poem about the fallout of the First World War, T. The word order in that final line, with the verb ‘Reel’ being placed before the noun, summons up the spectre of a homophone, ‘Real’ – but shadows are not real, so this is an illusion, a desert mirage. Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it And then we have the wordplay:Ī shape with lion body and the head of a man, These are worth analysing and pondering on in more detail. Indeed, although the poem is unrhymed, like many poems written around this time – such as poems of the First World War by Wilfred Owen and others – it utilises other techniques that stand in for traditional rhyme: pararhyme ( hold/world, man/sun), repetition ( at hand/at hand), and what we might call semantic rhyme ( sleep/cradle). ![]()

In real life doctorow5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Lucy’s experience is very limited and poorly representative of the current state of the industry. ![]() Oh yes there are gender-based issues in gaming, but I am and know many other women who play these games and play as female characters and can hold their own just fine against any other player, man or woman.

In Real Life also claims to explore the role of gender in gaming. ![]() This is a graphic novel about gaming and economics, as it states in the long intro that perhaps delved more deeply into these topics than the actual comic does.
