The Forge family are corn famers: in the opening section, hot-headed young Henry Forge, classically tutored and prone to trading arguments in Greek or Latin with his tyrannical father, develops a rebellious ambition to transform their farm one day into a thoroughbred breeding business. In the maximalist stakes, Morgan’s novel is a muscular, confident entry.įor the first 200 pages, the book appears to be a conventional multigenerational saga set in the American south. Along the way, Morgan wrestles with subjects including the history of Kentucky, slavery and its legacies, the iniquities of American healthcare, Darwinism, geology and relations between the sexes. Shortlisted for the Pulitzer and now the Baileys prize, Morgan’s epic work builds to a climactic series of dramatic race scenes featuring a star filly named Hellsmouth. T his novel is about horse racing the way Moby-Dick is about a whale it has a similarly expansive scope, spiritual seriousness and density of grand themes. ![]() ![]() Benedict, author of THE BEAUTY OF MURDER Elegiac in its prose and haunting in its imagery, is a precisely and beautifully woven tapestry through which threads of darkness wind their inevitable way. It is rare to find such sumptuous prose - A.K. James, author of THE HAUNTING OF MADDY CLARE Beautifully written Gothic. The book leaves the reader breathless in its gothic tale of fear, family, blood, and love - Simone St. As each layer of mystery is peeled away, more haunting truth is revealed. Mike Mignola, creator of HELLBOY RAWBLOOD weaves a spell that both terrifies and mesmerizes. I have never read anything like it and that's saying something. While it delivers everything I want from a "haunted house/family curse" story it is still stunningly original. ![]() From the modern horrors of man - medical experiments, war - to the ancient power of the natural world,The Girl from Rawblood is not only a ghost story of the highest order, but a sublime meditation on the things that hold us captive: fidelity, fear, memory, love - Leslie Parry, author of THE CHURCH OF MARVELS Brilliant - RAWBLOOD is the old-school gothic novel I have been waiting for. ![]() ![]() ![]() While his book I Kissed Dating Goodbye was certainly well-intended, Joshua looks back and worries that he is a religious leader of our day – a modern-day Pharisee. ![]() I Survived I Kissed Dating Goodbye is a documentary of Joshua Harris looking back at the message of his book I Kissed Dating Goodbye and seeking to find out if it brought more harm than good to our culture. I wrote my initial honest review of the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye several years ago in this blog post: You can see I Kissed Dating Goodbye here! Some people felt the book was much needed and helpful to Christians, while many others felt hurt by the book and became confused by its legalistic message. ![]() ![]() The book exploded in popularity when it was released and, as a result, made an impact on how the church as a whole explained dating, sex, marriage, and purity. I am not being compensated in any way.ĭid you read Joshua Harris’ book I Kissed Dating Goodbye growing up? If you grew up in any sort of Christian environment in the late ’90s and early 2000’s then I’m guessing you did. I was emailed the exclusive press link for my honest review of “I Survived I Kissed Dating Goodbye”. **UPDATE: This blog post was written before Josh Harris announced he was leaving the faith and Christianity** ![]() ![]() ![]() Of this AMAZING,passionately,sensually,funny and charming love-story between the cold-blooded and ruthless Silver-Eyed devil of a Mediterian Tyccon Cesar Valverde and the extremely bright and Charming Curvy of a worthy heroine Dixie Robinson.

Their anxieties were certainly understandable: Butler is considered the first Black writer to find success in the sci-fi genre. Butler’s Kindred was being adapted into a TV series for FX, fans of the 1979 novel seemed as hopeful and excited as they were territorial - glad Butler’s work was finally reaching screens but fiercely protective and adamant that nobody screw it up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have never been a fan of using telephoto lenses in street photography. In anticipation for the DVD release of his film “ In No Great Hurry” I wanted to write this article about lessons in street photography (and life) I have learned from Saul Leiter. He lived a simple life and even now with his sudden rise in fame, his ego hasn’t inflated one bit. At his late eighties, he is very down-to-earth, and has no interest in legacy or fame. I then started to research more on Saul Leiter and have not only appreciated his images, but his philosophy of life. It was much more romantic, poetic, and full of expression. It was unlike any street photography I had seen before. When I flipped through the pages, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful colors, reflections, and abstractions of Leiter. ![]() When I left Marseille back to America, he gave me a beautiful Saul Leiter book. But upon hearing this, I didn’t dig into it too deeply.Ībout a year ago when I was in Marseille, I re-discovered Saul’s work through a good friend of mine, Yves Vernin. ![]() I think I remember seeing some link on the internet about the discovery of one of the earliest “pioneers” in color street photography. I can’t remember the exact moment that I discovered the work of Saul Leiter. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In explaining the early nineteenth-century culture of self: the exploitation of hypochondria, health fads, seaside resorts, cures, she contends that Sanditon is an innovative, ebullient study of human beings’ vagaries - rather than using common sense, Sanditon’s characters follow intuition and bodily signs believing that desire can be translated into physical facts and speech can transform fantasy into reality. She examines the moral and social problems of capitalism, entrepreneurship, and whether wealth trickles down to benefit the place it is made. This beautifully illustrated volume combines the full novel and Todd’s ground-breaking essay, where she contextualizes Austen’s life and work, Sanditon’s connection with Northanger Abbey (1818) and the Austen family’s speculation in England and the West Indies. A comedy, it continues the strain of burlesque and caricature she wrote as a teenager and in private throughout her life. Sanditon is Jane Austen’s last novel, left unfinished when she died. "I so enjoyed Janet Todd's beautifully produced book."Andrew Davies, screenwriter. ![]() Coming to PBS Masterpiece Classic soon! Gorgeous, profound, delightful, useful, original, this fully illustrated, informative volume combines Jane Austen's Sanditon novel and Janet Todd's ground-breaking essay. ![]() |
