![]() ![]() ![]() While some good world-building exists, it doesn’t connect the dots with the plot and setting to some more significant story. ![]() These books are primarily character-based and not plot-based. ![]() This book doesn’t deliver on the hopes of continuing some larger or overarching Murderbot plot and story. The author doesn’t drop clues to help the reader solve the mystery along the way, and this story doesn’t extend or contribute to a larger storyline. Unfortunately, it’s not that complex of a mystery. Without spoiling anything, the mystery gets resolved by this book’s end. His previous human characters are mentioned in the story, but the main focus is on a new cast of characters who are introduced throughout this book and are part of the mystery that needs to be solved. However, this time, Murderbot plays the role of a detective to solve a mystery. Fugitive Telemetry follows the same basic formula of the earlier Murderbot Diaries, with Murderbot watching his video feed, learning about human behavior and life as he deals with the people, bots, and conflicts he encounters in this universe. The Murderbot is back! We are gifted with another episode in the series, and coming off the previous longer novel-length book, this installment is back to the novella format. ![]() ![]() ![]() From A to Z, it tells you everything you need to know.

The Ghost, unlike Walter, really is a bit of a git. On the other hand, it's also true that the Ghost chose Christine over Agnes in the first place, on the grounds that "I can teach you to sing like her, but I cannot teach her to look like you" (but Christine swapped rooms with Agnes after she heard the voice, and Agnes did her best Christine impression to get the lessons).Sort of a platonic version of I Want My Beloved to Be Happy. Therefore, it seems likely that Walter is discouraging Agnes because he knows that she'd be miserable in a Dysfunction Junction like the Ankh-Morpork Opera House. ![]() But in retrospect, it's possible that maybe Walter was well aware, or at least realized after his "transformation", that Agnes wasn't really enjoying her life at the Opera, being the Only Sane Man and therefore frequently confused and/or outraged by the behavior of her fellow performers. While Plinge and his "Phantom" persona do seem to be different people, it always frustrated me to see the once-kindly Walter do that sort of thing. ![]() ![]() At the end of Maskerade, Walter Plinge drove Agnes away from the Opera on purpose.At the end of Maskerade, the "new and improved" Walter Plinge seems to coldly reject the talented, smart, but fat and insecure Agnes Nitt in favor of the vapid, tone-deaf but beautiful and slender Christine because the latter has "star quality". ![]() ![]() ![]() And my heart and soul is your heart and soul.

![]() In "Le Contre-Ciel," Daumal invites us, his readers, to go through this process of regeneration-through-negation with him in order to revive in ourselves a knowledge and understanding of our primordial sources. ![]() For this early 20th century French poet-philosopher, "Life," in its most dynamic sense, can only be experienced after the facade of self identity has been systematically negated through a kind of metaphysical suicide. LÉvidence absurde et Les Pouvoirs de la Parole mettent à la disposition. René Daumal (1908-1944), poète (Le Contre-Ciel), conteur (La Grande Beuverie, Le Mont Analogue), a laissé une oeuvre importante dessayiste, enfin réunie en deux volumes. Broché Livre grand format, 18 avril 1972. Rene Daumal's "Le Contre-Ciel" is a collection of poems about death, not a death that ends life but a death that begins it. LEvidence absurde 1926-1934 - Essais et notes 1. In "Le Contre-Ciel," Daumal invites us, his readers, to go through this process of regeneration-through-negation with him in order to revive in ourselves a knowledge and understanding of. ![]() Rene Daumal's "Le Contre-Ciel" is a collection of poems about death, not a death that ends life but a death that begins it. Ren Daumal ( French: domal 16 March 1908 ) was a French spiritual para- surrealist writer, critic and poet, best known for his posthumously published novel Mount Analogue (1952) as well as for being an early, outspoken practitioner of pataphysics. ![]() ![]() It’s political without being pedantic, experimental without being obscure. “Ambitious, innovative, and utterly absorbing. … To read this is to feel Leni Zumas knows everything.” “It’s brilliant stuff, and the woods surrounding the witchy herbalist character are both glittering and informed. "Leni Zumas’s fierce, well-formed, hilarious, and blisteringly intelligent novel squarely a piece of Trump-era art." ![]() "A thoughtful, complicated picture of womanhood-and a fierce argument for individual choice." "A page-turning plot is rendered in sentences as gorgeous & wise as poems." "A lyrical & beautifully observed reflection on women's lives."

An especially poignant image in Son of Kal-El #3 was when Jon is put in handcuffs at a peaceful protest. ![]() Jon does this by being a public figure who wrestles with good and bad. Jon Kent, though, was encouraged by his father to use his powers to intervene and fight for justice. The authors ask the reader in publications like Injustice or Red Son to fear Superman using his power to take down evil men because "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." When Superman does this, it's viewed as a bad thing, often through the same viewpoint, Lex Luthor uses. He doesn't want to be seen as a champion of arbitrary morals, but a champion of humanity. The fact that he, too, is of Earth should be used for the underprivileged. One of the conversations that he and Clark had in Son of Kal-El #1 was that Jon owed it to the world to use his lineage as a human to help them. Jon Kent, however, is not as concerned with how the world perceives him. ![]() ![]() ![]() Do it when she calls herself a whore and you’ll be under the table. Drink every time another character buys Joan a luxury item, and you’ll have a very good time indeed. Joan’s aunt Gosia, a sort of vampier Miss Havisham, teaches her to leverage her erotic capital and lavishes her with Manolos, Louboutins and Chanel mules. She is nearly 37, and has “eaten too much caviar with men who didn’t marry ”.Īnimal recalls themes from Three Women – beautiful Italian women, older men, a didactic undercurrent on how the world shapes women. It’s notable that Joan has a name, for she is precisely the sort of narrator it’s become fashionable to leave anonymous: a fading temptress and low-key con artist, prone to glorifying her own pain, who steals objects and hates everything. The rest of the novel consists of flashbacks, set up by real-time events that contribute more to structure than momentum. Joan leaves New York for Los Angeles to unravel her past after her boss-slash-inamorato shoots himself. Lisa Taddeo’s debut novel follows her nonfiction hit Three Women, and the mathematically sharp among you will notice a reduction in scale: there’s one truly important person here, while all the others are there to limn her. Joan, the heroine of Animal, is the kind of person who constantly tells you what kind of person she is. ![]() |
