Studs Terkel's Working: A Graphic Adaptation, adapted by Harvey Pekar, edited by Paul Buhle But what the Wobs did was to hold up an alternative, the alternative we need now more than ever. Will the same thing or something like it happen, as the empire slides into crisis again/ Only time will tell. The Wobbly world and promise was wrecked, finally by the eager collaboration of corporate business and the military, liberals and conservatives, all of them committee firmly to Empire. The world of the Wobblies was one realized in its best moments by solidarity across race, ethnic, gender, and nationality lines. The world of the Wobs was made up of immigrant workers without steady employment, health plans, social security or drug benefits (like the future that Republicans and many a Democrat envision), without any responsibility on the part of the filthy rich for the growing class of poor - so much like the society around us today. Wobblies!: A Graphic History of the Industrial Workers of the World, edited by Paul Buhle and Nicole Schulman (many contributors) 6/29/2023 0 Comments From mom & me & momRemarkably, his strategy doesn’t play like the contrivance that it is, thanks to the (at times) painfully intimate exchanges he captures.įrom an imprisoned drug addict desperate to connect with his mother, to a man who’s settling in with the sad realisation that his mother is losing her memory to Alzheimer’s, to a middle-aged man who’s finally warming to his mother after a rough upbringing: the relationships Wardrop depicts are all touching and involving. Wanting to explore the effect a mother figure has on man’s masculinity, Wardrop conceived of the radio show device to unify all the stories. Using the radio segment as a springboard, Wardrop drops in on the lives of the men who phone, each of whom have wildly different relationships with the women that brought them into the world. His sophomore effort, Mom and Me, sees the film-maker venture out to Oklahoma – described at the start of the picture as the “manliest state” in the US – to follow radio show personality Joe Cristiano, who, with Mother’s Day nearing, asks men to call in and discuss their mothers on air. 6/29/2023 0 Comments George takei memoir"We stood by the front window, just gazing out and suddenly, we saw two soldiers marching up our driveway," Takei remembers in vivid detail.

It seems backwards, doesn’t it? Well, let’s see. The wait for this book has been one of the most unbearable to date, so imagine my disappointment when I realize the release date isn’t a Tuesday-like most standard releases-but a Saturday, when I am literally the MOST tired, the BUSIEST, and the LEAST likely to get much more than a few percent in reading wise.

Dear Reader, For the past twenty years, my books have been upsetting the countless readers who have been foolish enough to begin to read them. Now with new anniversary blurb by the mysterious author himself. 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' has been made into a blockbuster Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey and is also a hit Netflix TV series. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Mr Gum, young readers of 9 to 11 will adore the mischievously dark humour. This exclusive gold foiled 20th anniversary hardback gift edition commemorates the miserable fact that every child in the world has wanted this brilliantly funny book for twenty years. The Bad Beginning is the first book in the globally bestselling series A Series of Unfortunate Events. But you don’t need to read it to get to know its distinctive reality - its Japanese megalopolis setting of Chiba City, its characters like “console cowboy” Case and “street samurai” Molly Millions, its technologies like advanced artificial intelligence, electromagnetic pulse weapons, a virtual reality space called, yes, the Matrix. Who can call themselves fans of cyberpunk, or even modern science fiction, without having experienced William Gibson’s Neuromancer? That 1984 novel, which many see as the defining work of the sci-fi subgenre where, as Gibson himself put it, “high tech meets low life,” has gone through many print runs in many languages. |
