![]() Though the novel is slim and spare, like much of Kang’s work, it is epic in ambition and time scale. The story is told through the point of view of multiple characters who are victims and witnesses of the massacre. The novel centers on the Gwangju Massacre in 1980, when the authoritarian Chun Doo-hwan ordered the military to suppress a democratic uprising in the city of Gwangju using all violent means necessary. ![]() And while The Vegetarian was originally published in Korean nearly ten years ago, Human Acts is one of Kang’s most recently written books. ![]() Human Acts is a very different novel from The Vegetarian, Han Kang’s first novel recently published in English to numerous accolades, including the Man Booker International Prize (see WLT, May 2016, 91). ![]() ![]() ![]() Visit the French iTunes store to listen to audio samples.

![]() In the book Factfulness the three founders of Gapminder describe in practice how to use these rules of thumb in all kinds of situations and illustrate it with vivid stories from real life situations. But this attention filter is hard wired to make us care more about dramatic information, which easily leads to a stressful over-dramatic impression of the world.įactfulness is the skill to recognise the common types of stories that tend to get all the attention because they trigger our dramatic instincts. That’s why we all have an attention filter in our heads. There’s too much information for us to process it all. Part is to accept that humans don’t see reality just as it is. 1) REALIZE THAT YOU DON’T SEE THE WORLD AS IT IS. ![]() It teaches you how to recognize and avoid the most common ways information gets misinterpreted. ![]() It helps you maintain a fact-based worldview. ![]() “The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.” - See the book Factfulness »įactfulness is a relaxing habit for critical thinking. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 2 – Rosey Lee | Meaningful Collection Of Flash Fiction Exploring Different Family Relationships Novem Aug 6 shares.

There isn’t a single significant female character, and for a long novel, there isn’t much plot. Two of them are gay, one straight and one bisexual. ![]() Yanagihara ( The People in the Trees, 2013) takes the still-bold leap of writing about characters who don’t share her background in addition to being male, JB is African-American, Malcolm has a black father and white mother, Willem is white, and “Jude’s race was undetermined”-deserted at birth, he was raised in a monastery and had an unspeakably traumatic childhood that’s revealed slowly over the course of the book. Four men who meet as college roommates move to New York and spend the next three decades gaining renown in their professions-as an architect, painter, actor and lawyer-and struggling with demons in their intertwined personal lives. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m fairly certain the boys will stick with Kiki because that’s who I am to them. With the welcoming of a new baby boy last year and a daughter on the way, the title ‘Daddy’ will soon be heard in our home. The alternative nickname tested by the boys was Gaga, so I’m thankful they chose Kiki. Vincent gave it to me because he was a late talker and was only really saying ‘Mama’ and ‘NO!’ at the time. I’ve been there for pretty much everything – the good, the bad and the ‘how did that possibly just come out of him?!’ moments.Īs I became a constant presence in their lives, I quickly gained the nickname Kiki. I don’t think Vincent remembers me not being around and Jack, even with his ironclad memory, remembers very little. I believe their young ages played a role in making that transition easier. ![]() “Jack and Vincent were four and just under two, respectively, when I first met them and was slowly transitioned into their lives. He volunteers in the classroom during his time off. Mark teaches middle school science and math and high school science to children who face various difficulties.

Other Creative Pursuits Help Writers Reboot Their Souls When I returned home, I felt like my soul had been rebooted. The second half of the trip, I set up a table and wrote nonstop for seven days. ![]() The first few days with no technology were a challenge, but I went on walks, listened to the river, napped, and read books. My solution was to leave-go away on a two-week camping trip into the boonies with no internet, no television, and no phone. One time, I truly struggled to climb out of that dejection pit. ![]() In the publishing world, rejection never ends it comes from agents, editors, industry reviewers, and readers. The biggest emotional challenge of being a writer is avoiding the bottomless pit of dejection. ![]() Likewise, if my brain is sluggish (from poor health, poor eating, or poor sleep), I’m incapable of creativity. If I let in too much negativity (from social media, the news, and other people), I lose my creative energy. The key to my creativity is cultivating a positive and active brain. ![]() ![]() Sherlock gets a tutor recommended by his brother Mycroft Holmes. But when he finds two dead bodies his life is turned around. When Sherlock is sent to live with his Uncle Sherrinford he expects life to be boring. I think this book is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who has a taste for good books. I hope Death Cloud is the first of many books to come as I hope to find out more about Sherlock’s mysterious sister. At the beginning of the book I thought I liked the mysterious Amyus Crowe, but having finished it I think he has a dark side to him. My favourite character is probably Matty, as I think he has an interesting perspective of the world in which he lives. ![]() I loved all the characters apart from perhaps the Baron as he made me think of rats ( and not the ones you have as pets). I loved this book as the writer has managed to let you dive into the mind of young Sherlock Holmes, which in itself is a difficult task to complete. Death Cloud by Andrew Lane is a exciting magical book full of awe and wonder. ![]() ![]() VERY HARD TO FIND THIS FIRST EDITION WITH A DUST JACKET IN THIS CONDITION! **I WILL BE LISTIING OVER 400 COLLECTIBLE, RARE, OR SIGNED MODERN LIBRARY EDITIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS FROM 30 YEARS OF ACTIVE COLLECTING AROUND THE WORLD - PLEASE VISIT MY SELLERS PAGE TO VIEW THEM ALL**.
