i read that book probably five times in high school, you know, i never read books twice now, you know, but so so if you ask me like what are my favorite books? i'm actually gonna tell you books that, you know, i haven't probably looked at in 40 years. that was a big one season on the brink that the john feinstein book about the indiana hoosiers, man. it's happening that happens to me all the time now, but those books i read when i was in junior high, you know like animal farm which threats black boy. and as i was reading that book i was constantly saying to myself remember this remember this thing you just read like this long you just read remember this and feel it just evaporating the way it is when like you wake up in the morning and you had a dream and you want to tell someone this dream and you can feel it dissolve almost yelling your mind. Evolution of culture in a way that that didn't seem like kind of pre history just sort of seemed like someone describing the way the world works at a different time.

More diverse than many Camelot representations (Sir Bors has a physical disability, Sir Tristan has brown skin in otherwise white Camelot, and there is a pair of lesbian lovers), this is a retelling designed for a modern audience more interested in people than battles and more intrigued by identity and affection than honor and questing.īlack is back with another dark tale of Faerie, this one set in Faerie and launching a new trilogy. The connective tissue of the power women wield despite being overlooked doesn’t always hold together, but the questions Guinevere asks about women and power, and the subtext that chaos is inherently feminine (the defeated Dark Queen, Guinevere, the Lady of the Lake) while Arthur represents masculinity and control, are intriguing-although this volume comes to no conclusions. White ( Slayer, 2019, etc.) sets up an ambitious take on Arthurian lore, with many details familiar yet altered-Lancelot is a woman, Mordred is Arthur’s right hand and also very appealing, and Guinevere intends only good, although it seems as if this incarnation may still bring ruin, in this case merely by being magical in a world that has banished magic. Guinevere is a mystery: an impostor princess, daughter of Merlin, and possessor of magical knowledge, she has been sent to Camelot to pose as queen and keep Arthur safe. An acclaimed master of the female-centric retelling turns her hand to Arthuriana. Jake Gyllenhaal: Folks were none too happy when the actor played the lead role in the 2010 fantasy film “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.” Gyllenhaal didn’t love it, either. Here are a handful of casting choices that have inflamed public feeling against Hollywood. So, it rankles when people believe a character to be “whitewashed.” “Color-blind casting,” as it has come to be known, has both its critics and its supporters for myriad fair and important reasons.īlackface, the offensive portrayals of Asians and Latinos by White actors, and underrepresentation of people of color behind the scenes all point to the fact that the entertainment industry has long had a race problem. (Jolie also caught flak for playing real-life French journalist Mariane Pearl, who is of Afro-Cuban-Chinese-Dutch descent, in the 2007 film “A Mighty Heart”).īut the issue is bigger than just one role. The belief that Cleopatra was a woman of color also caused consternation in 2010, when Stacy Schiff, the author of the biography “Cleopatra: A Life,” suggested Angelina Jolie would be the perfect choice to play the queen in a film adaptation of her book. Celebrity splits are none of our business, but we still care. Let’s stop telling celebrities to stay out of politics. Rebel Wilson, Lizzo and Adele’s personal fitness is just that. Gaiman went as far as including this character alongside his partners Brute and Glob and the brothers Cain and Abel in an early draft of his mini-series Black Orchid. The Sandman Legacy In discussing the genesis of Sandman, Gaiman has pointed out how the project was initially born out of a desire to resurrect the 1970's hero The Sandman. With any luck, this feature might just convert a few. Strange as it may sound to fans, there are many readers out there who still haven't experienced the world of Sandman. While this feature discusses various plot points from Sandman, we've tried to keep major spoilers to a minimum. In The Sandman Retrospective, we examine many facets of the series, from the connections between Morpheus of The Dreaming and the other heroes called Sandman to the evolution of the series over the course of its seven-year lifespan.

All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts, and are not influenced by anyone. I can't wait to revisit more Holmes stories in this children's series! This is an excellent way to introduce classics to elementary and middle grade readers!ĭisclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review. The Reigate Squires (Book 6) (The Sherlock Holmes Childrens Collection (Easy Classics)) 7+ by Stephanie Baudet and a great selection of related books. The artwork is sometimes humorous and fun, making the story a little more lighthearted for young people. The cartoony style of the drawings is just right for this type of children's retelling, and gives an added flair to the story. I loved the black and white illustrations that pop up every few pages. I loved how the writing style is simple, but is still vivid and energetic! The text is large, and there are a few definition boxes that explain terms or historical items that may be unfamiliar. Holmes and Watson are the same beloved characters that we know, and the mystery is just as suspenseful and thrilling as the original. The story follows exactly the same story line as the original book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with much of the same dialogue and narration. This Sherlock Holmes mystery is retold and simplified for children ages 7-13. Holmes and Watson are trying to take a vacation in the country, but several robberies in the neighborhood end in murder, and only Holmes can unravel the clues. There There was favorably received, and was a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize. The book explores the themes of Native peoples living in urban spaces ( Urban Indians), and issues of ambivalence and complexity related to Natives' struggles with identity and authenticity. All of the characters unite at a community powwow and its attempted robbery. The characters struggle with a wide array of challenges, ranging from depression and alcoholism, to unemployment, fetal alcohol syndrome, and the challenges of living with an "ambiguously nonwhite" ethnic identity in the United States. Published in 2018, the book follows a large cast of Native Americans living in the Oakland, California area and contains several essays on Native American history and identity.
