![]() It doesn’t, though, exhibit much overt commonality with what I’ve read thus far by Leena Krohn or Johanna Sinisalo, other writers whose work is often categorised as Finnish Weird.Įlla Amanda Milana is a literature teacher in the (fictional) Finnish town of Rabbit Back, a town made famous as the home of the reclusive Laura White, Finland’s most famous children’s author (I’ll tactfully avoid open speculation as to whom White may be modelled on, but Jääskeläinen has been careful, in any event, to muddy the tracks). (His second novel, Secret Passages in a Hillside Town / Harjukaupungin salakäytävät, is scheduled for an English-language release in a year’s time.) Jääskeläinen’s work is frequently described as ‘Finnish Weird’, which seems appropriate enough: it’s certainly Finnish, and it’s definitely weird. The Rabbit Back Literature Society (Lumikko ja yhdeksän muuta, 2006, translated by Lola M Rogers) is Jääskeläinen’s first novel, and thus far the only one available in English translation. ![]() His work has won the Atorox and Tähtivaeltaja awards, as well as several Finnish short story competitions. ![]() Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen is a Finnish teacher and speculative fiction writer who has, to date, released three novels and one short story collection. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you to Penguin Random House for providing me a copy of the book in exchange for a spot on the blog tour and promotion of the book!ĭARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY Adib Khorram, publishing Aug★★★★ ★ĭarius doesn’t think he’ll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. ![]() Today for my stop in the Darius the Great is Not Okay blog tour, I’ll be doing a review of the book! I was super excited when I was offered this opportunity because this book is one that I’ve been anticipating so much-and if you haven’t already added this to your TBRs, you NEED to. It captivated me so much that it even made me cry, which, if you know me, is no easy feat when it comes to books. I really thought I could stay strong and keep the tears in… but I couldn’t.ĭarius the Great is Not Okay was a book that sucked me in from the beginning and kept me in its grip the entire time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After 1000 years in that future, the real Moira reemerged, found her clones, and killed one, which reset the timeline. In the SINS OF SINISTER timeline, Sinister successfully infected four mutant leaders with his personality, but he eventually lost his so-called Moira Engine, stranding him there without an emergency exit. Between these Moira “save points” and his lifetime of research, he hoped to achieve Dominion status, an ultimate evolution that would allow him to exist outside of time and space as a universal constant. Sinister set the stage for SINS OF SINISTER by creating clones of Moira MacTaggert and using their mutant power to reset the timeline, which allowed him to manipulate events to his liking. While Mister Sinister may have created the SINS OF SINISTER timeline, the destruction of that future ultimately paved the way for his most devastating defeat. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a distillation of what we're made of, and we're beyond excited to share it with all of you. And to make things even more commemorative, the vast majority of our fiction in this issue, both original and reprint, comes from our most frequently published fiction contributors: the LIGHTSPEEDiest writers to ever LIGHTSPEED. To celebrate, we're publishing a super-sized issue, with ten original stories-more than twice the amount of original fiction than usual-plus ten reprints and some special nonfiction to boot. ![]() LIGHTSPEED #1 was launched in June 2010, and now eight years later, we've reached a milestone: Issue 100. Patrick Ness More Than This Epub Download Books ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Sally Fallon Morell of the Weston A. Admittedly, the paperback book isn’t flashy.but the contents are indeed explosive. Well, when I recently saw Nourishing Broth at the Amazon Bookstore down at Seattle’s University Village, I put it on my cookbook bucket list and bought it a few days later. Are the instructions logical and is the ingredient list accurate? Does the author erroneously assume knowledge and omit details that might impact the finished results? Do the recipes add value to the everyday repertoire? Is the content unique enough that the reader is encouraged to ditch tradition, take a risk and try something new? I often ask myself, did this person peruse it or use it? For me, the true test takes place on the stove and at the kitchen counter. Lately, I’ve noticed that many cookbook reviews give a casual broad mention of the content and the author and it’s pretty clear that the reviewer didn’t really crack the book and put it to the test. ![]() Over the years while writing for newspapers, Amazon’s Al Dente blog and my own website, I have reviewed numerous cookbooks and one of my benchmarks for judging a book is whether the recipes and tips really work. ![]() You name it, I pretty much have it in my disorganized and tattered but beloved collection. ![]() New releases, trendy editions, vintage copies, dog-eared classics. I love cookbooks and have hundreds of them in my home. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Harrow, New York Times-bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches 'A profoundly humane and brilliantly constructed space opera that will have you cheering, swearing, laughing, and ugly-crying. ![]() If she succeeds, she will find a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could ever have imagined Alongside her brother's brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, Kyr must escape from everything she's ever known. Then Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to the nursery to bear sons, and she knows she must take humanity's revenge into her own hands. Raised on Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. ![]() Some Desperate Glory is the highly anticipated debut novel from Astounding Award and World Fantasy Award-Winner, Emily Tesh.Īll her life, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the destruction of planet Earth. Le Guin and Octavia Butler'Ī thrillingly told space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and the path you must forge when every choice is stripped from you. 'Deserves a space on shelves alongside genre titans like Ursula K. Tamsyn Muir, New York Times-bestselling author of Gideon the Ninth Relentless, unsentimental, a completely wild ride' ![]() ![]() ![]() Belying the notion that no one reads poetry anymore-or that only academics or other writers do-tens of thousands of people representing a range of ages, occupations, levels of education, ethnicities, and backgrounds submitted poems. Pinsky asked for Americans across the land to share their favorite poems and say what they loved about them. The project is modeled on the Library of Congress’s Favorite Poem Project, instituted by the poet Robert Pinsky in 1997 when he was the nation’s Poet Laureate. They were also asked to discuss some of the aesthetic elements in their poem that made it an effective work of art. The instructions for the project were for students to choose a poem that especially resonated with them, to read or recite it on video, and to talk a bit about the poem’s personal significance.

Guralnick meticulously documents manager Colonel Tom Parker’s cutthroat dealings with RCA Records and the movie studios, which resulted in staggering paychecks for both Presley and Parker (by the mid-’70s, Parker was splitting his sole client’s earnings 50-50). The times left him behind as he gamely acted in inanely trashy movies and sang inanely trashy songs in order to fulfill contractual commitments. ![]() After Elvis came out of the army in 1960, he increasingly became a clock-puncher. The unanswered mystery here is how someone who reshaped American culture between 19 could have so completely insulated himself from that culture for most of the rest of his life. ![]() Last Train to Memphis (1994) brilliantly illuminated the mystery of Elvis’s genius-what it consisted of and where it came from. Guralnick concludes his majestic two-volume biography of Elvis Presley with copious evidence of Elvis’s creative and personal plunge. ![]() ![]() The result is an impactful and intricate collection of stories that showcases Chiang’s ability to narrativize the wonder of scientific discovery. However, rather than focusing on the growing animosity between humans and aliens, with all signs pointing to an interstellar war, Chiang instead bases the story around how possible re-interpretations of physics and language acquisition can change our consciousnesses. ![]() In “Story of Your Life,” arguably one of Chiang’s most famous short stories (you may have seen Arrival, its movie adaptation), aliens arrive unexpectedly on Earth with mysterious intentions. “Division by Zero,” for example, revolves around a woman’s exploration of one mathematical formalism-and her subsequent breakdown when she realizes that all math is theoretical. ![]() In his collection of short stories, worlds are developed and explored not just through the driving forces of plot and action, but also the unfolding of a scientific theme which oftentimes culminates in what Chiang terms a “conceptual breakthrough.” Ted Chiang’s Stories of Your Life and Others, however, delves into the genre in a subtly different way. ![]() The genre of science fiction can conjure thoughts of bold encounters like galaxy-wide explorations or dystopias with AI creations gone wrong. ![]() |
