Vandermeer strange bird5/13/2023 But of the many creatures she encounters with whom she bears some k. The Strange Bird reads like a parable steeped in metaphor but maintains the. It is not a spin-off but an fine new level of world-building: it provides readers a complementary, expansive new perspective with which to analyze VanderMeer’s universe. And the farther she flies, the deeper she finds herself in the orbit of the Company, a collapsed biotech firm that has populated the world with experiments both failed and successful that have outlived the corporation itself: a pack of networked foxes, a giant predatory bear. The Strange Bird is a digital-only novella from the world of Borne, and a must-read for fans. The sky itself is full of wildlife that rejects her as one of their own, and also full of technology-satellites and drones and other detritus of the human civilization below that has all but destroyed itself. Flying through tunnels, dodging bullets, and changing her colors and patterning to avoid capture, the Strange Bird manages to escape.īut she cannot just soar in peace above the earth. But now the lab in which she was created is under siege and the scientists have turned on their animal creations. The Strange Bird is a new kind of creature, built in a laboratory-she is part bird, part human, part many other things. The Strange Bird-from New York Times bestselling novelist Jeff VanderMeer-is a novella-length digital original that expands and weaves deeply into the world of his “thorough marvel”* of a novel, Borne.

Dragon Art by Graeme Aymer5/13/2023 Though he mentions names like Frederick Leighton and Joseph Turner, I had to visit the internet Masters whose works influenced many of today's fantasy art masters. I would've liked some examples of the old-school Its quality varies, but Aymer at least selected artists with different styles and approaches. The artwork itself is mostly modern, dating back perhaps to the 1980's or late 1970'sĪt the earliest. Not helped by the odd two- or four-page spreads depicting works in progress. (including John Howe, Michael Whelan, and other big names), the images rarely coincide with the text near which they appear the arrangement seems entirely random, However, aside from an early section on famous dragon artists Rendered in various media by artists young and old, newcomers and established masters of the field. It includes an admirable array of images, depicting all manner of dragons This one came close to a full Good rating, but its ambition overshot its execution. Illustrations by artists from around the world, plus a foreword by noted fantasy artist John Howe.

John Arcudi is a comic book writer and creator from Buffalo, New York. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

The cat inside by william s burroughs5/13/2023 We live today as courtiers once did in royal courts: we must appear civil while attempting to crush all those around us. The authors have created a sort of anti-Book of Virtues in this encyclopedic compendium of the ways and means of power.Įveryone wants power and everyone is in a constant duplicitous game to gain more power at the expense of others, according to Greene, a screenwriter and former editor at Esquire (Elffers, a book packager, designed the volume, with its attractive marginalia). Lurid dreams of hybrids and mutants fill out a book also concerned with "cuteness ratings." The hipster's (and hepcat's) answer to Cleveland Amory. Of course, Burroughs adds some incoherent stuff about dogs (with their "vilest coprographic perversions") and about cats as natural enemies of the State. And then there are Burroughs's cats-Ruski, Fletch, Horatio, Wimpy, et al.-none of whom does anything beyond acting like a cat. The usual gang of suspects makes the briefest of cameos, from Allen Ginsberg to Jane Bowles. The septuagenarian beatnik would seem to be the least likely author of a cat book, but Burroughs has clearly mellowed some and here celebrates his favorite "psychic companions." Full of sentimental anecdotes and bizarre pseudo-scholarly lore, his slim essay is, in his view, "an allegory, in which the writer's past life is presented to him in a cat charade." Fans will indeed appreciate the references to beat legend, and the cats who witnessed those days in Tangier, Morocco, and Mexico City.

She posits that the men’s dominance is based on an outdated notion of superior physical strength indicating fitness to lead, and that “ have evolved. She observes that although the world has slightly more women than men, men still hold most positions of power. Such warnings made it clear to her that the word “feminist” implied an angry, bitter woman: “You hate men, you hate bras, you hate African culture, you think women should always be in charge ” (11).Īdichie discusses the injustice of societal expectations for women, both in African culture and in the world at large. She then remembers later episodes in her life, in which she was warned-often by friends or well-meaning strangers-against being a feminist. She remembers an argument that she had with her childhood friend Okoloma, in which he called her a “feminist”: “It was not a compliment. Adichie begins the essay by recalling her early experiences of sexism and anti-feminism. |
