![]() Unfortunately, the author continuously blames conservatives and Republicans, in spite of the documented evidence that his beloved democrats are up to their ears in corruption with that hated military industrial complex.ĭid the narration match the pace of the story? The author effectively weaved fact and evidence-supported rumor with a good story about how the "deep state" and their military industrial complex masters have withheld vital technology for the sake of profits and maintaining power. ![]() The author should have avoided the obvious bias he has against Republicans in general, and Trump in particular. What spoiled it for me was the continuous in-your-face liberal democrat love-fest, and anti-Republican, anti-Trump diatribes. The basic story was interesting, and based on facts, rumors and educated speculation regarding what the US government is doing with their knowledge of UFO technology. Mixed feelings on whether this was worth the listen. ![]() ![]() Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent?

Forty years later, University of California Press has produced a restored version of Dictee. ![]() Dictee is widely recognized today as a critically important text of postmodern, postcolonial, Asian-American literature and has enthralled scholars of Asian American literature since its publication. Written in multiple languages and in a style both enigmatic and experimental, its accessibility is comparable to James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Cha’s novel is haunting, tragic, and defiant. Only two months after its publication, Cha was raped and murdered on her way to meet her husband and friends for dinner in New York City. “To satisfy Divine Justice, perfect victims were necessary, but the Law of Love has succeeded to the law of fear, and Love has chosen me as a holocaust, me, a weak and imperfect creature” wrote Korean-American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha in her 1982 debut novel Dictee. ![]() ![]() ![]() She died of a cerebral haemorrhage at the age of 73 in New York City. ![]() ![]() In 1944, Cather received the gold medal for fiction from the National Institute of Arts and Letters, an award given once a decade for an author's total accomplishments. ![]() She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1943.

Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter’s life would never be the same. “It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember.” She took care of her widowed father, rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage. A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. ![]() Certainly the last person in town he thought he’d fall for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town’s Baptist minister.

He was neither a poet’s poet nor a people’s poet, but a personal poet who used his craft to ensure his own survival.īukowski’s “tough guy” image was less posturing than self-protective. ![]() Facing it right with yourself, alone.” It is this kind of courage and stoicism that informs Bukowski’s canon.

Maria Garcia Malibran was the 'superstar' of nineteenth-century opera - a singer whose colorful career and new vocal style epitomized the age of bel canto. ![]() ![]() The book's title refers to the sentiments that informed both the Northern and Southern views of the conflict: the South seceded in the name of that freedom of self-determination and self-government for which their fathers had fought in 1776, while the North stood fast in defense of the Union founded by those fathers as the bulwark of American liberty. Particularly notable are new views on such matters as the slavery expansion issue in the 1850s, the origins of the Republican Party, the causes of secession, internal dissent and anti-war opposition in the North and the South, and the reasons for the Union's victory. It then moves into a chronicle of the war itself, the battles, the strategic maneuvering on both sides, the politics, and the personalities. ![]() ![]() Packed with drama and analytical insight, the book vividly recounts the momentous episodes that preceded the Civil War: the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. ![]() ![]() Filled with fresh interpretations and information, puncturing old myths and challenging new ones, this fast-paced narrative fully integrates the political, social, and military events that crowded the two decades from the outbreak of one war in Mexico to the ending of another at Appomattox. ![]() |
