![]() ![]() Roland is an eleven year-old boy living at a boarding school in the United Kingdom, two thousand miles away from home, under the wing of his piano teacher, Miss Miriam Cornell.Īs Roland quickly grows up, he finds himself irrevocably attracted to Miriam, nine years his senior, and so begins an ill-fated love affair which leaves with him with more scars and blackened memories than anything else. ![]() The novel takes us to not long after the end of the Second World War, in the 1960s, a time when the casualties and full extent of the destruction are still fresh in people’s memories. Though it would seem we are technically free to do as we please, there also appear to be numerous external factors influencing our decisions and guiding our lives, as is the case for Roland Baines in Lessons by Ian McEwan. ![]() Whether or not human beings have true free will is a topic which has kept awake our greatest philosophers since time immemorial, and the truth is we still haven’t settled on a definitive answer. Ian McEwan Raises a Question of Free Will ![]() ![]() ![]() He is such a great character! He just might be my favourite dragon. I will be remiss not to mention how much I adore Temeraire. ![]() It wasn’t confusing as to whose thoughts we were following, but that distinction would have made for a much more enjoyable read. If you gave me a passage from either, I would not be able to recognise who the voice belongs to. My only complaint is that I wish there was an obvious distinction between the voices of Lawrence and Temeraire. The story continues, and I found myself swept away by it, as well as by the words of Novik, who suits this genre of historical fiction. ![]() Having said that, as someone who adores historical fiction, I really enjoyed this instalment of the series. The issues that occur in the story are military based and more in line with problems arising in historical fiction rather than in a fantasy story. However, the dragons themselves have their own personalities and histories. Yes, there are dragons, a completely fantastical element that is the focal point in the storytelling. If anything, I will recommend this series to historical fiction readers. I will never recommend this series to fantasy readers. With each book, I have a clearer understanding about what kind of series this is. ![]() ![]() ![]() The necessary condition for the child's playing, in Winnicott's opinion, is the trust in and reliability of external reality experienced as a result of "good-enough mothering" (13). ![]() Winnicott, who chose these terms as the title of his 1971 book, defines "playing" as the potential space between the baby and the mother (41), in which, he explains, 'the child gathers objects or phenomena from external reality and uses these in the service of some sample derived from inner or personal reality" (51). In the case of "playing and reality," the two terms that will occupy me here, most theorists, for example, Millar, Huizinga, and Stewart, do not oppose them, but, rather, see playing as one form of reality. ![]() Like all abstraction, such dichotomies simplify, reduce, and ignore the multiplicitous and indivisible nature they address and allow us to examine, comprehend, and control that nature. Playing and Reality In Sylvia Cassedy's Novels by Virginia Wolf The dichotomy implied in my title, like all dichotomies, including that of work and play, reflects one means by which we classify and define, that being by opposition.

She was delighted to know this - encouraged me, and asked for a poem. ![]() We knew each other for years before I felt safe enough to confide and divulge my “secret” - that I, too, was a poet, though I’d stopped writing poetry and was aching to get back into that miraculous zone. Back then, I never dreamed I would ever meet Erica let alone become her friend.Įrica and I met in my early “professional” life as a literary publicist promoting a book I asked her to blurb. I still remember the paisley bedspread in my college dorm I laid across while highlighting page after page. Fear of Flying, written after she’d already published two collections of poetry, changed my life. Her first book of poems, Fruits & Vegetables, was my (and remains my) treasure. I read and loved Erica’s work when I was in high school and college. But what we never knew, years before we knew one another, was that sharing our poetry would be our bridge to a deep and lasting friendship. ![]() ![]() FOR ERICA JONG AND ME, poetry has always been our first and probably most sustaining love. ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s written extensively for VICE, WIRED UK and Reuters on technological and cultural matters, and given keynote speeches and lectures at events like dConstruct, ThingsCon, Improving Reality, SxSW, How The Light Gets In, Haunted Machines and Cognitive Cities. ![]() He is the creator, writer and co-producer of the Netflix series CASTLEVANIA, recently renewed for its third season, and of the recently-announced Netflix series HEAVEN’S FOREST.

The front cover, as in the author’s Martin’s Big Words (2001), which garnered a Caldecott honor for illustrator Bryan Collier, is a striking full-page portrait. Expressive faces, tranquil Maryland scenes, and battlefields fill the pages. Ladd’s powerful and dramatic full-bleed art is richly textured and detailed. Readers will gain an understanding of and empathy for his resolve and drive. Skillfully weaving together her concise narration with Douglass’ own writings, Rappaport has fashioned an accessible, even riveting biography of the great 19th-century American.
