The pop culture Jade marinates in, that has penetrated seemingly every cell in her body, is slasher movies, and she believes that a slasher narrative is about to commence in real life, right in Proofrock.

I simply think anyone interested in this volume’s story would logically be quite curious about where it started. Even though some of the concepts and technologies presented in the Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov may feel a little quaint by today’s standards, the pioneering work of science-fiction has retained its enviable status for the depths of the world, story and characters it presented.īefore proceeding to talk about the second novel of the series, titled Foundation and Empire, I would simply like to point out I recommend reading the previous book first, though it’s not entirely necessary (if you’re interested you can have a look at our Foundation review). ![]() ![]() Topdog/Underdog takes place over the course of six scenes, split into two different acts. Two African-American brothers struggle to survive. It was incredible being this close at Topdog/Underdog specifically because there are only two actors, the Golden Theatre has a low stage, and they weren’t elevated high enough that it hurt to crane your neck. ![]() Lo and behold, the usher leads me to my seat, and it’s dead center in the middle of the front row. When I saw Orchestra, Row A, Seat 111, I thought I was tripping and was very much in denial that it was a front-row seat that I had only paid $53 for. I ended up seeing the sixth performance in previews, on a Saturday night, and I literally spat out my boba when the box office man handed me my ticket. ![]() I knew the show was going to be on TDF, it was just a matter of waiting it out for the date. So I watched and waited for the perfect moment on TDF to purchase a ticket. And let me tell you: these two are the dream combo for this kind of play. ![]() I ended up becoming such a fan casually, but I vaguely knew of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II because he is a hot new actor on the scene getting a lot of roles. It began when I saw him In the Heights as Benny, then I began to branch out into his other works. I don’t know how I came to know of this show initially, but whenever I did find out about it, I knew I wanted to see it because I’m such a big Corey Hawkins fan. ![]() ![]() In one of that province's public houses, a painter and a poet debate the chances that their former lord will be a given a proper burial by the brutal Barbadian oppressor who has ruled over their people since the bloody invasion he staged decades ago. We are plunged into a world most assuredly in motion with tell of the death of the Duke of Astibar. Thoughtful, tragic Tigana, however, strikes an ideal balance between that frenetic sense of momentum and the distinctly slower motion of more considered fantasy sequences.įrom the first, Guy Gavriel Kay is a masterful pacemaker. If that appeals, Richard Morgan will be waiting to take your names after class. ![]() ![]() ![]() The best such novels can achieve a breathless pace that carries the reader from beat to headlong beat unmindful of such oversight. There is plenty to be said for straight-forward narrative progression, of course stories told from beginning to middle to end with nary a word wasted on anything so distracting as a character arc. ![]() It is not deceptive to say that Tigana begins with a lie. ![]() ![]() ![]() MDZS/TGCF pins from Billacookie: These pins are the cutest!

Factor in a return to office working (been working from home the last two years) and my time has been much more limited. My mental health also took a bit of a downward turn which really hasn’t helped. ![]() I think I might have been putting a little too much pressure on myself.
