The show’s story closely follows Matt Ruff’s 2016 novel of the same name, about a Black community in Chicago that becomes entangled with an ominous occult society, all while fighting Jim Crow racism on a scale both everyday and cosmic. There’s an obvious metaphor in the scene about the work Lovecraft Country is trying to do. “Yes,” he responds - but only because the giant house they're in collapses. “Do the lovers stay together at the end?” his ghostly date asks of the story. The book in question is the 1903 horror fantasy The House on the Borderland, and its plot is eerily similar to George’s present situation: He’s a Black man trapped in a strange mansion along with his friends, presented with various temptations and hallucinogenic visions - including dancing with a woman he knows to be a figment of his imagination. In the second episode of Lovecraft Country, HBO’s engrossing new pulp horror series, one character, George ( Courtney B. ![]() A Scanner Darkly by Philip K.

Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival. A volcanic eruption is quite another, for, as the journalist who does a framing voice-over narration for Brooks’ latest puts it, when Mount Rainier popped its cork, “it was the psychological aspect, the hyperbole-fueled hysteria that had ended up killing the most people.” Maybe, but the sasquatches whom the volcano displaced contributed to the statistics, too, if only out of self-defense. Are we not men? We are-well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006).Ī zombie apocalypse is one thing. ![]() With the fire on high full book7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() I heard a lot of wonderful things about this book last year when it was published and it was always on my radar to read.

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars Review/Synopsis: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The reality that “Fantastic Beasts” is experiencing diminishing returns after three movies is especially painful, not only to Rowling, who envisioned the prequel story as a five-film franchise, but also to its backer Warner Bros., which bet big on the assumption that all things Hogwarts would remain relevant at the box office - whether or not Harry, Ron and Hermione were involved in the adventures that unfold on screen. With just $405 million at the global box office, it’s the first film in the blockbuster franchise - out of 11 - to just barely break even in its theatrical run. “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” a $200 million-budgeted sequel in the “ Harry Potter” spinoff series, is an anomaly in J.K. ![]() Azul-Corvo by Adriana Lisboa7/6/2023 ![]() Highlighting the ways in which literary influence is mapped across languages and borders, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of experimental poetry, translation studies and comparative literature. This challenging body of experimental work offers creative challenges and opportunities to literary translators and unique pleasures to the sympathetic reader. Contributions range in subject matter from ancient Greek and Chinese pattern poems to modernist concrete poems from the Americas, Europe and Asia. Featuring contributions from an international group of literary and translation scholars and practitioners, working across a variety of languages, the book views the development of the international concrete poetry movement through the lens of "transcreation", that is, the informed, creative response to the translation of playful, enigmatic, visual texts. ![]() This volume addresses the global reception of "untranslatable" concrete poetry.
